The bass in songs sounds very good

The small speaker has oppressive (muddy) bass that comes from a small speaker trying to overcompensate

Somehow the Mini version has a more clear and deep Bass

Great sound quality, bass, and volume

Placing it near a corner of a room, just over a foot away, enhances the bass nicely

Small, portable, built in rechargeable batteries, awesome bass and clear sound all with blue tooth capability

Bass-shy (in comparison to the Bose)The Bose:- Much better bass

The mids are weak and hollow, the highs are not very clean and the bass is fine

Three passive bass radiators for deeper bass and two custom designed 2.25 inch Precision Drivers that provide sharp highs and clear

Just not as loud or as much bass as I've come to expect from Bose.

The sound is superior to the mini (i.e. higher volume, richer bass and cleaner highs).

I keep it on a bookshelf and the bass is too strong

I never like the excessive bass and the muffed mid-high sound on the mini

But one person's ears cannot hear all sounds the same as another person's ears, that's normal, and in my case, I found the Minis to have the cleanest, nicest bass and clearest high notes of all, and the most pleasant sound to my ears

It doesn't get quite as loud as the pill XL and the bass isnt quite as powerful, but this speaker more than does the job.

It delivers realistic bass from such a small case

The bass sounds great and it pairs easily with my phone

extremely strong bass and unbelievably clear sound my buddy has the big jawbone

Bass is excessive at times but the unit just needs to be adjusted relative to a wall or turn the unit, etc to get the sound you want

The bass isn't ground-shaking, but it's to be expected with a portable speaker

interfaceBuild quality seems excellentSurprisingly powerful and clean bass response for a relatively small packageBattery for portability...not sure how long it will last in practiceCONS:Completely overemphasizes bass, with no way to equalize or adjust.

It creates an overly loud, mushy and distorted bass that overwhelms treble instruments

I like a little more bass in my sound, but this product is good!

Great bass and treble.

But has a great sound, excellent bass.

The bass has some depth (if you put it against a wall only, let's be clear), it's not a dead bass like in the UE Megaboom

Great bass and volume

Not enough bass

The bass sounds great, it is light enough to transport.

It's got good bass with out being over done

I could literally write a 600 word review on how amazing the sound is, but suffice to say it fills a room nicely with crisp sound and deep humming bass notes

Bass is good

Beautiful sound, deep clear bass, crisp clear mid’s and high’s

Produces very good bass for its size

So I began to sike myself into justifying buying this at $299 because I like good speakers with good bass

only did it with super heavy bass like certain rap.

If you can stick it in a corner, it will really fill a room and the bass is not too bad.

I forgot what bass sounded like until I got this

The SoundLink III has great sound, with good rich bass notes and a nice full spectrum of audio quality

Nice deep bass and crisp clean sound

Rich bass with such small size

I had the original SoundLink and the sound quality, to my ear, was frankly pretty poor: very bass biased and pretty muddy.

When I turned this on to watch movies, I always worry about annoying downstairs neighbours because of the great bass it has

I thought the bass is a little strong but its great if you want to immerse yourself in your music.

Sounds is great, good bass, easy to connect to the bluetooth.

I purchased this unit and was very disappointed with the built-in exaggerated bass response

The bass is like the worst you can ever hear

Do you like more bass

The sound is better than JBL FLIP, richer bass, but looks cheaper than SoundLink II

The bass is supremely resonant on the lower volumes, but distorts near maximum volume

So I was expecting the same quality in a bluetooth speaker from the Soundlink III.It was not loud at all, no bass, and it sounded muffled and distorted

The bass isn't ground-shaking, but it's to be expected with a portable speaker

the sound absolutely fills a room, with strong bass and very clear tones in every register.

Great bass

yields greater bass and midrange, and farther out produces more pronounced highs and treble and less bass

It has great bass response which was a must have for me

The sound is surprisingly strong and it favors the bass

The Pill XL is very nice and the bass there is great at high and low volumes however for some reason the mid just doesn't seem there

I am deeply and madly in love with this gem, it has great sound, excellent bass and incredibly clear

There is no mistaking that the bass is impressive from this little unit

amazing bass for such a small device.

Deep crisp bass response that is hallmark Bose

But with Reggae, Hip-Hop, and even some Jazz, this speaker simply could not handle low bass frequencies and distorted like a beat up hoopty rolling down the street with the trunk buzzing and rattling

Big Blue Party (Amazing bass and quality

The bass is good for most music except EDM which requires sub-bass levels to be enjoyed

I actually think the bass in the mini 2 is better but the clarity and volume is much greater in the 3

Battery life is great, Bass is amazing for the little speaker

Sound is clear and vibrant, bass is wonderful, however I was hoping for a much louder sound

Love the design and 360 degree sound, but it clearly doesn't have the deep, rich bass tones.

Great sound and bass

The bass and some other sound effects are rich and make you really appreciate your music

I like it, the bass is nice and "bumpy" but very clear sounding.. totally recommend and worth every cent..

The sound quality is fantastic...good bass for a speaker this size

Like other reviewers, I really enjoyed the bass this speaker replicates.

Has great bass and a full sound.

It puts out strong, tight bass and warm, clear vocals.

But the bass is definitely there and definitely enhanced, as the directions suggest by positioning it with a wall behind it

Great Audio, Bass, and clear sound

Bass is great, highs are crisp and clear

The bass seams to "punch out" and sound not so good on certain songs ( i listen to all kinds of music.. mostly rock )

Bass is too fat and woolly sounding but otherwise pretty good sound in such a small package

Its clean bass, but distorts at higher volume

The bass on this is exceptional for its size

Bass is decent for its size

The bass is still clear and defined at high volumes whereas the bass on both the Mini II and UE Megaboom distort with a low raspy buzz (yuck)

Bass is accurate and sharp, highs are true to the instruments, and vocals are superb

Great sound, excellent bass

I Love the hard hitting Bass but, the sound is clear.

The bass is super for the small size speaker

The bass is amazing and yet not too punchy that it drowns out the highs.

Excellent sound quality, superb bass, particularly coming from such a compact speaker

The sound quality is great, youll love the bass, mids and highs are clear and that oomph on music that Bose is known for

I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker with crisp sounds, rich bass, loud volume without distortion, long battery life, portability, etc -- this speaker does exactly everything I expected in a speaker of this price

She's really happy with it, but I have to say there are others with more powerful bass at a lower price point

Use it all the time and the bass is amazing

Great sound quality&great bass, well worth the money.

The sony has higher bass but no clarity at higher volume

Bass is muddy and most of the time, this thing cannot handle heavy bass tracks

Great sound, nice deep bass

The bass distorts, and I worry that continuous use might damage the speakers.

Likewise, those who are complaining about "muddy bass" and "holes" in sound have no recommendations for bluetooth speakers that they consider to be better

Bass is really full and the Treble sounds crisp and clear

Amazing product!Excelent Bass , amazing great sound!everybody should have one!

The others were all lower priced and sounded good with nice bass

The Bose overall sounded better but the bass was not as good as most of the others

Bass is a lot better than it sounded in the store and of course you get the

For something so compact, it really can push the sound out with incredible bass and great sound at all ranges.

I initially bought one to replace a full speaker set, but the bass--while good--wasn't what I wanted

This speaker has great sound without the bass being way too much, although it has a nice bass sound, to me the bass sounds natural

I heard someone else's Bose mini and it sounded incredible...especially the bass

The bass is good

You can hear the various instruments and the bass is nice for a speaker of this size and portability.

You can get Bluetooth speakers that have better bass abilities, but you compromise on the rest of the

I love the bass

But don't get me wrong, both are awesome speakers that provide amazing bass, treble, and volume for their size and weight

Great soud, The bass is amazing

The bass is a bit too powerful for classical music, but by moving the speaker away from the wall, or by placing it at an angle, the bass becomes less powerful

Great speaker, crisp sound, great bass

The sound link has good bass, I really wasn't expecting

pros:easy to connect to your deviceconsyou hear noisy bass only, you lose other effects in the musicI really had ears pain after listening to it for a whileI think I will get rid of it soon : (

Excelent quality sound, deep bass

Great sound quality, bass and treble blended perfectly

I love it, bass is good, pairing is easy

While it sounds more open compared to the S III, the bass is lacking punch

LOUDER AND MORE BASS

I was blown away by the clear sound and deep bass from a portable speaker that is so small.

Good but loose the bass effect and the acoustic signal separation

I Love the hard hitting Bass but, the sound is clear.

Sound was good with nice bass, only one direction output, and didn't have that Bose depth of sound that you may have heard from other non-Bluetooth Bose speakers

The bass is awesome for such a small device

Great bass, midrange, highs, and dynamics

I listen to all types of music [Jazz, R&B, Classical, Soft Easy Listening, Reggae

The sound is as incredible as you would expect from Bose, but in such a small package.

Turned it on the next morning and to my utter amazement, it works as if nothing had happened to it and it continues to work and charge just fine here a month later

Excellence as to be expected from Bose.

most people are impressed as to how small it is for what comes out of it

the bose color link is about half the price and sounds better than this as well as

I Really don't understand all the raving reviews of this speaker... it is NOWHERE NEAR as loud as

Beautiful sound, deep clear bass, crisp clear mid’s and high’s
