About the product
Grab the take-anywhere, capsule shaped pill Portable Speaker in black from Beats by Dr Dre and use it to enjoy premium sound for your favorite music with soaring highs and deep, booming bass. It connects to any Bluetooth-enabled device, eliminating the need for any cords. You'll be able to change tracks from your phone, laptop or other connected device from a maximum of 30 feet away. The speaker is also equipped with an internal microphone, so you can make conference calls on your phone using Bluetooth connectivity. Its lithium-ion battery is rechargeable, and provides up to seven hours of continuous playback when it's fully charged. Of course, the pill is compact and lightweight so that you can easily take it with you in the morning and keep it on hand all day. Another benefit to the pill speaker is that it comes with a carry case, so when you grab it and go it can travel safely. The case has a carabiner for easy attachment to a bag or backpack.
The SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker II delivers full sound with deeper lows than you’d expect from a speaker that fits in the palm of your hand. And because it’s wireless and ultra-compact, it’s easy to take Bose sound anywhere.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
Bose SoundLink Mini II Portable Bluetooth Speakers
- I am very disappointed in the battery life of Bose products. In the 1 1/2 years I have had this Speaker I have taken very good care of it and used it very little. At this point, it will not charge over 50 percent.
- This is my first BOSE product - I love the sound clarity and battery life.
- The battery life is awesome. The unit itself cosmetically looks a little dated, but the sound makes it worth it.
- The Bluetooth connects immediately upon turning on the device. Most take at least a couple seconds, but not the SoundLink.
- Good battery life - charge level was still 100% after watching the first movie.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Bose SoundLink Mini II Portable Bluetooth Speakers
- I wanted a well made, good sounding, small portable speaker for the home and I don't think I could have made a better choice.
- The sound from this small speaker is spectacular. It produces great bass with well balances treble and is made with precision quality- it is surprisingly heavy.
- I enjoy the excellent battery life, sounds, tones, and volume range from this small speaker.
- The bass is absolutely astounding from such a small unit.
- Great little speaker; very big sound for its size. I'm also really surprised by the BT range - much better than the JBL flip I've used in the past.

What customers say about "Features"
Bose SoundLink Mini II Portable Bluetooth Speakers
- The ability to use it as a speakerphone is a handy feature. Callers have noted that my voice sounds clear. An incoming call can be answered (or refused) with a tap of a button on top of the unit.
- Just push the button on the speaker and you can speak through it. I can hear others well through it, and they tell me they hear me normally.
- Connecting is also a breeze, after your initial set up. Its as easy as pushing a button.
- The action button is a really cool way to let you pause and change tracks without fussing with your phone.
- I like the multifunction button to pause and skip songs.

What customers say about "Interfaces"
Bose SoundLink Mini II Portable Bluetooth Speakers
- They have also increased the battery life and changed from a proprietary charging connector to a standard mini-USB port.
- I really appreciate that it can charge through the included proprietary base or through micro-USB.
- I use it with phone and desktop computer via bluetooth and now have it working via the aux input as sound system for my TV.
- Everything great except it buzz really loud connecting with aux when nothing is played.
- The AUX jack, thru which music plays fine, shuts off after 15 minutes.
