Does Soundlink work like Jambone: Does the Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker work the same as the Jawbone Jambone, meaning, while listening to music from phone and a call comes in, it mutes the music and works like a external speaker and mic,...

I have bought both the Jawbone Jambox and the Bose Soundlink for my daughter's birthday tomorrow. She will be 33, so I want a gift befitting of her age and social scene. I like the Jawbone because it is very small and easy to put in her purse but I like the Bose because of the reputation of Bose products. The Jawbone was about $80 less then the Bose. I have been reading reviews and there seems to be similar problems with the blue tooth aspect of both products. But I get the feeling the sound quality is close even with the Bose being much bigger. I see in your comment that the Jawbone can also act like an external speaker and mic which is good for as you say for conference calls etc. I don't see that anyone has responded about the Bose. I think based on the reviews it might be pretty even between both products and in that case I want the smaller unit with the big sounds. I wish I could play them both side by side, but if I open the packaging it will negate taking one of them back. Also Bose never gives you any specification to compare with other products on sound quality because they always say it is in the design not just the specs but it is hard to compare without specs.

Not certain, but while the sound is better than the Jambox, that bluetooth mating and the on/off functions are not clear and caused me problems. I was not able get it to work as a wired external speaker if that is the question you have.

Not to familiar with the bose soundlink but as long as it was wifi compatiable I dont see it being an issue, I have use this to connect to my kitchen stereo my wireless headset and even the car and had no issues

No. Wrong voltage.This provides 5V only.Bose soundlink Mini needs 12V-13VLooks like this does - USB Travel Charger Cable for Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Wireless Speaker v1 power adapter

It works great with my Bluetooth phone - It should work with any Bluetooth devices - in order to have it sink with your Bluetooth, I suggest turning off your device Bluetooth first and the JBL. Second, turn on your JBL, and then the device Bluetooth. Your device should be able to recognize it.

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.

Hi Raul, i don't know if this will work with the bose soundlink mini? I do know this comes with an adaptor that fits the bose soundlink ser II and the bose sound dock ser II.

It depends on your phone....most smartphones will route audio to the Bluetooth speaker when your Bluetooth is engaged.

That is typical. I can't connect one phone via Bluetooth if another that was last connected is nearby and on. I just shut off one. Same withe my Bose sound link and JBL Bluetooth speakers.

Sorry, but I don't know if Bose speakers would work but I have successfully connected to a variety of BT devices and see no reason why a name brand like Bose would not work also.

Not connected to the same source. Each speaker connects to a BT device independently of each other, in other words if you sync one speaker to your phone the other cannot be connected at the same time. I also tried to connect one speaker to my phone by using the plug and the other using BT, but it only allows one output (either plug or BT not both). I ended up giving my second speaker away.

As long as theirs volume coming out of the phone, it connects through Bluetooth. So the Bluetooth acts as your speaker. I'd assume yes. Mine plays my pandora app. No problem. I can even answer phone calls and hear/talk

Yes, when you turn on your Bluetooth setting in your device and have the jawbone turned on they will automatically "find" each other. It's got a great sound quality for such a little guy!

If you can plug this into your Bose Soundlink Mini Speaker and into your computer, there should be no problems in it working for you. Bose are great speakers but they do still adhere to electricial standards. So if this cable fits, it will charge your speaker. I have a mini speaker that this would not work on because the round connector is wrong for my speaker. So if the speaker has a round connector receptor and you can connect to an USB port on your computer, then this will work for you.

The phiaton seems to have answered everything you would want. Noise canceling - not as comfortable as Bose , it has BT and most importantly for when you cant use BT you can use a mini jack cable. The devices charges with USB, I have mixed feelings on if I would have preferred a battery I could change as needed. The Bose is just a bad design which I am very surprised at I bet we see V2 some day with a complete redesign I cant imagine they are happy with this. Keep in mind I am wanted to like this, I like Bose products but even the mini Bose speaker has blue tooth problems now. I dont know what is going on there.

Whatever comes out of your phone's speakers normally will come out the Parott's speaker when it is connected via Bluetooth. The phone's speaker will be muted.
