I looked at this one. The Soundlink is a bit big but the Mini is a consideration. However, it doesn't have the one feature that I did use on our previous (now deceased) speaker which is the speakerphone function. I do find that useful when holding conference calls using my mobile phone.Pal wrote:We are using the Bose SoundLink for it's good sound quality and portability.
So JBL sounds better, but much worse battery and crappy charger. I guess choose based on what matters to you.JBL’s Flip is yet another speaker that has great sound that’s lacking in other respects. It’s a touch larger than the UE, so it can deliver really punchy sound, as explained by Mike Calore at Wired and Jeremy Horowitz at iLounge. For many reviewers, it’s the best-sounding speaker $100 can buy. But a few convenience setbacks keep it from being as good as the UE. First of all, its 4-hour battery life is borderline unacceptable considering the competition. That’s less than half of the lifespan of the UE. As for ease-of-use, the Flip gets its name from its ability to be played while upright, or horizontal — unfortunately, its cylindrical design makes it prone to tipping in either position. It also has a proprietary charger with a big transformer on the end that has no place in the speaker’s included carrying case. At $100 on Amazon, we don’t think the boost in sound quality is worth the sacrifices in portability and ergonomics.
