Any comparisons to Bose soundlink - either the color or the soundlink 2? Really don't want to spend the money on those but don't like a tinny sound.

I really don't know about the comparison between the bose and the TDK..Never heard the bose, but all the reviews I've read alot of people think the TDK is better or just as good as the bose & especially for the price differnce, TDK can't be beat. I am really enjoying My TDK, it has a GREAT sound and I don't have any commplaints. Only thing I wish it had was a bass control knob (I love lots of bass!) and maybe a bit more volume, but what can I say,,I'm a bit greedy, lol! It's a GREAT little speaker & I don't think (especially for the price!) you'll be disappointed!

I can speak directly to a Soundlink 3 comparison. In my opinion, the TDK sounds comparable. Like you, I hate tinny sound, and can attest to the fact that the TDK is not tinny at all. It is rich and full at all volumes. Actually, it is shockingly rich and full given the size and the price. If you're torn beween the Bose and the TDK, I say buy the TDK with confidence.

The TDK "Life on Record" has VERY dynamic, rock solid sound...not tinny at all and doesn't lose audio quality at max volume. Before buying, I went into my local Best Buy and listened to both this unit and the Bose. The TDK (in my opinion) sounds just as good as, if not better than, the Bose. I have owned the TDK since August 2014 and use it all the time. It really does sound great. Go find it at Best Buy and take a listen if you can. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

If you want really good sound for a small size then go for the sony srs x3. I've had loads of bluetooth speaker now and the x3 has to be the best sound especially indoors you'll be amazed. The TDK has a good quality of sound and you want be disappointed. Bose are just over priced and you'll get the same sound. I was going to buy a soundlink mini but before I did I thought I'd have a listen to a few others first and the sony srs x3 whooped it with a clear shot. Another good one is sandstrom sbr14 or something like that, it's big and ideal for the beach or camping. Go for the black with red stichin because the outher model farts when you turn it up. All the speakers I've just mentioned are at currys. If you want really good sound for a small size then go for the sony srs x3.

I have recently tried the Bose equivalent to the ATH-ANC9. I prefer the Bose head phones, because the ATH-ANC9 was lacking in noise canceling ability however I did notice the sound quality of the ATH-ANC9 has diminished over since I have bought them.

Everyone has their preference, mine is the Bose, next person may prefer B&W. Visit a Big Box Store and compare both.

I never got a chance to find out how the battery life was because the sound was horribly distorted above 1/2 volume. I highly recommend spending a little more and buying the Bose Soundlink Mini it is just as loud and the sound doesn't distort.

I haven't tried bose but I believe the best headphones are the ones that are cordless. Almost every cord on any headphone/earbud will start to make crackling noises. Go cordless for a change!

I have older Bose speakers, high end. Quite satisfied with them. So far I haven't gotten into spending on fancy cables of any brand. Penny stocks might be a better bet!

I own this device, a SoundLink Mini, SoundTouch 20 & 30. I can honestly not detect any difference in sound quality between the Mini, Air or 20. So between the Mini and Air . . .I choose the Mini to take outdoors because 1. Replacement is cheaper should something happen to it and 2. it's completely BlueTooth so doesn't need to be within range of my WiFi signal to work.

TBH, the bass on the rumble is so much deeper and more intense than in the Soundlink 3. The sound in general is a lot louder on the Rumble. clarity goes as a point for the Soundlink 3 but you'll compromise volume and bass for that.of course you're still compromising portability with the rumble but i say it's a million times worth it!

Hi, S~On sound quality ::: I've had a Bose compact radio since 1988 ::: It was excellent, but finally pooped-out.I replaced it with the Sangean and it surprised me that it has all the treble and base tones qualities of the Bose as far as I can tell - even at high volume :)Hope this helpsLarry CounceMetairie, Louisiana

Yeah, I bought a pair of these and brought them to the office. My boss has a pair of QC2's and we compared them side by side. The ANC's do leak noise considerably more than the Bose. You can test them on your head with a partner, or you can turn the cups down on a table and listen for the leakage. I decided to send mine back and get the Bose instead. I also had issues with some very mild static on the ANC's on a flight last week - very slight, but it was there none-the-less.

I have multiple bluetooth speakers throughout my home., one of them is a Bose Mini Soundlink., in comparison the Amazon large speaker exceeded my expectations.,

The bass is smooth, not as intense as the Bose. The Bose are excellent, but at times I feel that the SE215 are more realistic. Cable replacement is very easy to replace also. Your taste may be different.

I got two bose headsets which are great, the grado is for sound even more better, but you can only use them when you are alone in the room. They are open and your bystanders will not enjoy your music as you do :-) Thats the only reason i bought bose a d for the noise reduction whilst traveling ..... sorry they are the only grado i have ....

Depends on the bose model you buy. The first model only linked with wifi the sound link 2 only links with Bluetooth!

I have owned them both. Bose makes decent stereo and surround sound but I'm not a fan of their headphones. The 535's are much better, there is no comparison.

I went back and forth, listening at distance, close up, volume low, up high. The only difference I saw was "Bluetooth" which was attractive to me, and the price was a bit higher (which didn't matter) I wanted the Bose quality sound. I got it. Deep, rich sound. Beautiful. Answer: No.

the bose sound system cube is a better/louder quality.... but then you need to bring a solar charger or power source to keep it going. I sacrifice volume level for use-ability
