"SoundLink®": Leading the Way in New Audio Styles
The new "SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth® speaker Ⅱ" retains the acclaimed sound quality, achieved through a combination of two small, high-efficiency transducers for clear mid-high frequencies and dual-opposing passive radiators for powerful bass. It now adds powerful new features such as hands-free calling, voice guidance, and multipoint connection for simultaneous pairing with two devices. Available in two colors, Pearl and Carbon, it arrives as a versatile sound partner for a wider range of listening styles.
High-quality hands-free calls, even when your hands are full
The newly integrated speakerphone function allows for "hands-free calls" with Bose's signature high-quality sound. This new feature is set to be useful in various situations, such as during cooking when your hands are occupied, conversing with friends, participating in small conference calls, or taking business calls at a hotel while traveling.
It also features "voice guidance" that supports Bluetooth® device pairing via voice prompts, informing you of the battery level and the name of the connected device. Furthermore, it supports multipoint connection, allowing you to connect two devices simultaneously. You can seamlessly switch between devices by pausing playback on one and starting it on the other, which is convenient when enjoying music with multiple people sharing their devices.
Additionally, the new "multifunction button" allows you to control music playback, track skipping, and call management even when your device is out of reach.
