You know if you have the speaker facing you as the buttons are closest to the front edge. Before I go on I will quickly explain the row of buttons on top of the device. Not BEING ABLE TO WATE FOR IT TO CHARGE I TURNED THE SPEEKER ON WITH THE POWER BUTTON. This INDICATES THAT IT IS CHARGING, It takes 3 hours for a full charge and has a battery play back time of 7 hours. Placing the speaker onto the charging dock with the row of rubberised buttons facing me and the charging cable coming out of the right hand side of the dock I heard a chirping trill from the speaker. Being milled from one piece of Aluminium it looks and feels like an Apple product. The device weighs about 650g and measures 7 inches long by 2 inches wide and 2.5 inches in high. Removing the aforementioned wrapping I picked up surprisingly heavy slab of metal, this was the speaker itself. What faced me was a very well protected speaker covered by foam and inside a plastic bag. Once that was all together I opened the heaviest box which contained the Bose Soundlink Mini. This is about 5 inches long by about 2 inches wide and the charging cable plugs into the right hand side of the dock. I started off by first taking out the charging cable and attaching the UK adapter then plugging it into the socket. Inside was three separate boxes each containing the device its self, the charger and three pin adapter for here in the UK and a final box containing the charging cradle (more on that later) and supporting information. What faced me was a heavy duty cardboard slip case. Once I had received it directly from Bose I sat the box on my desk and unwrapped the cellophane wrapping. At a price of £169.99 in the UK or $199.99 in the US it is reasonably priced among the competition. I decided to look somewhere else and that is when I discovered the Bose Soundlink Mini. It was good yet the sound whilst being loud was not very crisp and rather tinny. This was a tiny yet very loud speaker that paired with my IPod in no time. My first foray into the world of Bluetooth speakers was about a year ago when I came across the Logitech Mini Boom box.
As the title of this review hints, I will be reviewing my newly acquired Bose Soundlink Mini. Over the past couple of years I have spent a large amount of time and money on different speakers and headphones for my IPod touch 4th gen and I phone. As a totally blind person good sound is something that is incredibly important to me.
