hi guys thanks to the paws Experience Center in Vienna I can do a first quick preview of the new Bose Soundlink mini - as you can see at first sight it looks as if not much has changed this is the old version the Soundlink mini one there's a sounding mini - and it's available in two colors now which is what I would call some kind of grey and another one close to well black the new one can be finally charged through microUSB while the old one needed a proprietary charger you can also see that the control field here is completely new the new one has a new function button and there are some new functions that we'll see when we turn it on battery 80% connected to Lana's iPad our newly and iPhone 6 oli and as you can see voice prompts on you now usually I'm not a big fan of voice prompts but in case of the Bose Soundlink mini - they are pretty helpful because you can cycle through a Bluetooth devices it automatically connects to two but if you have more paired devices you can well with the Bluetooth button you can cycle between them this is pretty helpful especially because usually Bluetooth is not very user friendly if you have more devices to pair with but it's already connected to my iPad and to my iPhone so we can start playing music and the new button here can pause playback or continue playback double pressing takes you'll attract further triple pressing takes you back okay this was double this is triple and it has hands-free included something the first version didn't have of course I would like to see if they sound any different and I took some measurements as you can see black is the old Soundlink mini I measured it at three different levels the first one being slightly below half then another one at about 3 3/4 and at maximum volume and here at gray you can see the Bose Soundlink mini tool and the general attuning is still pretty similar but a Bose took away a little bit of bass it's about I think 2 DB so it's not much but you notice it if you hear them directly I think this is a good step format because the old sounding mini was pretty heavy the new one sounds a bit better but what I would criticize is that it's still missing treble you can see from the measurements not much has changed here and at levels slightly above above half it becomes a bit out of control bass is starting to to drone and to distort so well I'm a bit surprised that both didn't change it more and I thought we will have a listen to both to see how they compare in reality and if you hear some difference so I selected some tracks to hear I'm starting with the Soundlink mini 2 and then we'll switch over to the Soundlink mini well the sounds still pretty similar so not much has changed let's listen another to another crack and one of the bigger problems is I think the directionality if you listen it comes to rather bull sounding if you don't aim it directly at you so this problem has remained they didn't change anything for example the next strike you will hear that the bass is starting to well become a bit out of control or this one and as seen from the measurement the lower you turn it the more base you will get which will start to disappear the higher your training so okay this was a first preview of the Soundlink mini to summarize not much has changed but the new features are really welcome especially USB charging also the control field and hands-free so if you still don't own a Bose Soundlink mini you should check out the Bose Soundlink mini 2 or if you don't need all this fancy stuff maybe you can get old and old Soundlink mini at some discount they still sound pretty much the same although the new one is newer with newer features but sound wise the difference is rather marginal I would say so I hope this helped a little bit and yeah I will show a very nice summer the next video will be probably the introduction of the speaker audio database so stay tuned a little bit and see you then bye bye
