Enjoy your music on the go, everywhere you go. The SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker II delivers full, natural sound with dramatically deeper bass than you'd expect from an ultra-compact speaker that fits
in the palm of your hand. It connects wirelessly to your smartphone, tablet or other Bluetooth device, so you can listen to your music, videos or games anytime, anywhere. And the built-in speakerphone lets you take calls out loud, too.

The SoundLink Mini speaker II is small and light enough to tuck into your bag. It weighs in at just 0.67 kg. Its low profile lets you place it almost anywhere and provides a low center of gravity that makes it nearly impossible to tip over.
The rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers up to 10 hours of playtime, and charges with most USB power sources. At home, you can listen indefinitely by keeping the unit on the charging cradle. The battery charges as you listen and the speaker is always ready to grab and go.

SoundLink Mini II has a range of about 9 m, so you can enjoy the sound you want without wires. Voice prompts talk you through pairing with your smartphone, iPad or other Bluetooth device, making it easier than ever. And the speaker remembers the most recent six devices you've used, so reconnecting is even simpler.

You might not expect sound this rich from a speaker this small, but the SoundLink Mini speaker II is something new. You don't have to sacrifice performance for portability. Proprietary technologies and an innovative driver configuration combine to deliver full-range sound—including deep lows—in an ultra-compact package. It lets you take your music to places it's never been before.

The SoundLink Mini speaker II is designed for sleek simplicity. Its single-piece aluminum casing is both attractive and durable. The speaker features power and volume buttons—you control all other functions from your Bluetooth device.

Charging cradle recharges the battery, serves as a convenient home base for your speaker and it lets you play while it charges | Wall charger can be plugged into the cradle or directly into the speaker | Auxiliary port lets you connect other audio sources, like an MP3 player | USB port allows for software updates to ensure ongoing Bluetooth device compatibility

  • Positivefetter Sound
  • Positivegute Ausstattung
  • Negativefehlende Codecs

Klasse Sound für 20 Euro? Da war ich skeptisch. Der Xiaomi ist für diesen Preis tatsächlich vollkommen in Ordnung ? wenn der Akku nicht nach einem halben Jahr schlapp macht. Highend-Sound liefert die Square Box 1 allerdings nicht und auch die Ausstattung ist äußerst dürftig. Doch auch der SoundLink Mini II konnte mich nicht voll überzeugen...

  • Negativerelativ hoher Preis

Die Bose SoundLink Mini II punktet im Test vor allem im Bereich Soundqualität: Der Bluetooth-Lautsprecher klingt ausgewogen und kraftvoll ? und das trotz seiner kompakten Bauweise. Für den Gesamtsieg reicht es dagegen nicht: Die durchschnittliche Akkulaufzeit und die knappe Ausstattung kosten wertvolle Punkte.
