What's the sound quality of BOSE Bluetooth speakers in America?

I have been thinking about the positioning of Bose brand for a long time, but what is certain is that it is definitely not a HiFi brand, and even Bose himself does not deny this statement. After thinking about it, it seems that only the name "Personal Small Audio Product Provider" can give a fairly comprehensive summary of Bose's personal audio products. Of course, Bose's products are not limited to these multimedia speakers and noise-reducing headphones that we see, but these two products are the products that ordinary users contact the most. Everyone's understanding of the Bose brand probably stays on the two concepts of "excellent noise reduction effect" and "small size and big dynamics", and of course it is the same.

Some time ago, I talked about Bose's first full-frequency noise-reducing earplug QC20 (interested users can click on the article "Try Bose's first noise-reducing earplug for user experience"), highlighting the first point we mentioned in the previous paragraph, and today I will talk about the second point.

Bose soundlink mini Bluetooth Audio is a speaker product released by Bose at the end of 20 13. Its dynamic sound and low-frequency performance are very impressive and unforgettable. Although I don't know how a unit of this size makes this sound, Bose has always insisted on this feature and style.

At first glance, the Bose soundlink mini Bluetooth audio is a bit rough. In addition to the exquisite aluminum alloy shell technology, it seems that there are no traces of domestic Bluetooth audio, such as NFC pairing, wireless charging, TF card, radio, alarm clock and other functions, which are completely absent on Bose soundlink mini Bluetooth audio. Therefore, the Bose soundlink mini Bluetooth audio is "pure Bluetooth", which is designed and manufactured for users, and there is nothing fancy.

Bose soundlink Mini Bluetooth Audio is compact.

If you don't listen to the sound, you can't imagine how Bose soundlink mini Bluetooth audio can be sold to the sky-high price of 1880 yuan. Although I admit that Bose brand has a premium, it doesn't look so evil, so his pricing must be reasonable. Sure enough! In the whole testing process of Bose soundlink mini Bluetooth audio, every user who hears his voice performance must start with "I X (beep ~)", well, without exception. If the general speakers conquer the audience by sound quality, then the Bose soundlink mini Bluetooth audio is definitely a more shocking visual impact; How do you explain this? It is unscientific to make such a sound at such a small volume.
