Description

The Bose SoundLink II is a portable Bluetooth speaker system with a customizable integrated cover that folds back to serve as a stand and turns off the unit when it's closed. It has four mid-range drivers and two “waffled” passive radiators placed opposite each other to provide full-range bass performance without distortion or vibration.

SoundLink Air is Bose's first AirPlay-enabled wireless speaker. It also includes Bluetooth connectivity and an IR remote.

The Play:3 wireless home speaker is part of the family of wireless audio products from Sonos and represents the least expensive of their audio enclosures. It features 3 speaker drivers and uses your home network (Wi-Fi or ethernet) to steam audio from a Mac or PC using SonosNet - a secure AES-encrypted, peer-to-peer wireless mesh network.
