hey everyone this is Jimmy from Jim's review room welcome to another review today we'll be looking at the successor to one the best sounding portable speakers for 2013 it's the Bose Soundlink speaker 3 it's a wireless Bluetooth speaker that has its own battery pack inside so you can play this anywhere without any wires the sounding 3 is priced at $299 and BOCES website claims this is their best performing bluetooth speaker so far so without further ado we'll get started now sound like three still has that favorable narrow design making this easier to carry around and put into your bag the speaker measures 10 inches wide a little over five inches high and one point eight nine inches thick make this preferable than some of the more bulky competitors out there it's still a bit heavy they'll wing in a little over three pounds but the weight does give it stability and a feeling of a substantial product the sound like three is wrapped in aluminum with plastic running on the upper and lower bands and I did apply a decent amount of force on the front metal grille and the aluminum didn't dent nor any structural compromises occur you can tell that sounding three has the same build quality as the previous one still a very rugged and solid build all around now all buns are located on top the first being the power button to the far left then the Bluetooth connectivity next and although this is a wireless speaker you have the auxiliary button for physically plugging in your device for sound and then further right a mute button and volume buttons to follow and all buttons are now covered seamlessly with a silicone coating to prevent dust buildup now rotating to the rear the unit does provide a three-and-a-half millimeter port to physically connect your device to play audio next is a micro USB connection that's only for servicing and upgrading the firmware inside it's not for charging though and lastly is the port for the supplied wall charger and regarding the battery battery life has increased by thirty percent instead of eight hours of news up to fourteen hours of use is expected when fully charged and that's a huge number and at the top tier amongst its competitors the only downfall that I see here physically it's missing a supplied case like some of the other manufacturers provide even in last year's model which I have here has a built-in magnetized cover for protection and carrying and it also folds to become a stand however stand or not the unit stays upright and takes the same effort to knock down nonetheless it's a small nuisance and hopefully with the following sound test it can prove again this year this speaker is still worth the purchase and price tag so what I'll do is critique and then with the unit cannot play summer songs and give you my verdict afterwards first up is time flies rendition of Jamie Foxx's alcohol G coz I got it I get so so smooth like I got it on tap yeah and I'm a shake it be a good night while I'm on my gangland while I'm drinking Bud Light can you get it when you miss me like I'm with whiskey drinking Jim Beam me baby do you do it do it that way do you do that did you take a brain you know that I'm a beast when I kill it on a piece like a six on the beach like it's Malibu juice in the Caliph but a little don't do it he does it you're so fun I'm gonna leave it all for tonight and you got fixed up to the nines let me show you pressed up in black and white and I'm dressed in the dress you love is swing it in the air tonight let me show you and there you have it folks I hope you enjoyed the sample there from these great artists and all their information is in the about description below now getting back on topic here of course music heard in person is much more clear in definition so for me recording the sample from the speaker and then you're playing the sample and your speaker's now are possibly not the best conditions but hence my review here Bose again I believe did an amazing job and just being honest prior to the previous sound like speakers I always thought Bose was overrated I don't know about the other Bose products but the Soundlink series and this one especially again leaves the bar pretty high for other Bluetooth speakers to compete now during my tests I play all audio on maximum audio from music had no hisses and tinging on the very high notes so listening to this for some time shouldn't be an issue snares cymbals and down to the singers clarity and voice is all apparent in regards to the bass compared to other Bluetooth speakers this one still sounds very good because the Bluetooth speaker sizes they will provide a slight vibration to the room or even in your chest however for a Bluetooth speaker this speaker still provides more warmth and depth compared to the competitors I've reviewed from my tested movies I played The Hunger Games to listen to ambient noises in the forest to even the audience cheering as the actors presented themselves again just fantastic for a Bluetooth speaker high in fidelity and that active voices are very distinct and environmental sounds are evident as everything walks way the footsteps are very clear scenes of the actors eating dinner you can hear the Civil War distinctly being placed on a serving dish and clanking around alright she's Marilyn all right my father buys her squirrels he says she hits him right in the eye every time now I don't want to compare too much to the Soundlink speaker to the reason being the selling to will eventually be discontinued but for those wanting to know how much better this speaker is I'll tell you I've replayed music and scenes of movies over a hundred times at least alternating speakers at different volume levels to different distances just to see if I can hear a difference in general it usually doesn't take me that many tries but the audio quality is very close to the previous generation they want an only distinct change I've noticed was this sound like three well no question Phil larger rooms in areas with no issues it's significantly louder than a sounding - and a sounding - is loud enough for me though but at times assembling three I had to turn down the volume if I stood too close to the speaker it did not sound bad it was just not at a comfortable level at least for me the minor differences were found more from movies I just noticed that the auto having more depth as I stated earlier you can hear minor nuances and ambient noises and scenes that were not distinct again in the previous generation so if you have the second generation like I do it's still a very good speaker if not my second best speaker after now the Soundlink three the only big factor for considering spending another three hundred dollars and getting the latest sound link is if you want the amazing increase in battery life now if you don't own one selling three is a fantastic product you can't go wrong with it even though some of the design changes were straying away from the previous and I'm serious about this both again sets the bar for other companies to be in Bluetooth sound quality so I hope this review helped you in some way please
