I read a couple of reviews, one on CNet and the other I think on iLounge, but might be wrong on that one. They weren't raving about the speaker, given its rather lofty price, more than the Bose sound link 3. Also, one review I saw said that they had problems maintaining the bluetooth connection,

Hmm interesting but I really have to wonder what can be gained by comparing the BW with the T7? You only have to read the review I linked to and you’ll see that we’re talking about 2 different systems, portable is a word that can be applied to both sure but the BW is bigger for one thing. I

In the review it said £300 but that’s English currency so you’ll have to do a google search and see how much you can get it for in the States, the T7 doesn’t seem to be available in Australia yet or I haven’t been able to find an Australian Stockest so I’ll keep looking. On 30 Nov 2014, at

Well, just to be a devil's advocate, here is a very unfavorable review of the t7. This is basically why I don't put much faith in reviews, unless I know the reviewer and know his/jher taste is like my own, so I can be reasonably confident I will like what they do and dislike what the do.

The t7 sells for $349 in the U.S. on Amazon. Of possible interest is the fact that the special aptx technology that it uses to improve the bluetooth sound is not available on Apple devices and is apparently not likely to be, since Qualcom owns the company that invented it. Mary

Yes that’s true however it certainly wouldn’t sound worse than anything else we have, as the reviewer said it still sounds pretty good. So Amazon are selling the units? That’s a pretty good price, bet your life they’re more expensive than that over here though I did get a pleasant surprise

I guess its a matter od doing you homework when it comes to reviews and you’re right about reviews, you read a few and you soon get the idea of who knows and who doesn’t know what they’re talking about or what they’re doing. When it comes to Short Wave radio sets for example, there’s some
