What customers say about "Key Specs"
JBL Xtreme Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
  • This speaker sounds pretty good and has decent volume.
  • Great sound, great volume, great battery life and portable Bluetooth distance is reasonable.
  • Amazing, high powered, room-filling sound.
  • Great power, nice sound. Lasts long - played all day and the battery didn't drain.
  • A marvelous Bluetooth speaker with a great bass sound, powerful and very good for playing in a large room.
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"
JBL Xtreme Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
  • This has an amazingly powerful sound in relatively compact and transportable form.
  • Very compact. Loud and spill proof! Great speaker.
  • This speaker is awesome, especially for its size.
  • Considering the size, it is amazing how loud this can be without any distortion.
  • The weight while heavy is still portable and holdable in one hand.
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.

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"
JBL Xtreme Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
  • Built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery supports up to 15 hours of playtime and charges devices via dual USB ports.
  • It can charge your phone/devices if you bring your own cable as it has USB ports.
  • Thanks to its 2 USB ports in the back it can be used as a charger for any other devices.
  • Comes with custom charger so you can't charge from a USB charger.
  • The charger and USB ports are slightly less accessible.
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.
