The speaker is designed specifically for use with today’s most popular Bluetooth devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. In addition, the speaker also includes a 3.5 mm auxiliary input for a wired connection.

Power and volume controls are located on the speaker itself. Otherwise, use your smartphone or other paired device to select a playlist, streaming audio source, etc. No remote control necessary.

On average, the speaker will work within 30 feet of your paired Bluetooth device. Walls and construction materials can affect reception at times.

Yes, as long as your computer is enabled for Bluetooth and is within 30 feet of the speaker.

When a call comes in, the music will pause, and the call will ring through the speaker. You can answer the call by pressing the multi-function button and talk into the speaker itself to conduct your phone call. When you end your call, music playback resumes.

When the speaker is turned on, the battery indicator lights up for 10 seconds, then turns off to conserve power. To check the charge, press and hold the power button to turn the indicator light back on. Green = 70% or more charge; yellow = 20 – 70%; red = less than 20% battery life.

Battery performance varies depending on the content and the volume at which it’s played. In typical usage, a fully charged battery gives you up to 12 hours. The battery will fully charge in four hours using the included USB-C cable, possibly longer while playing music.

The voice prompts serve two key purposes. First, they provide guidance during the Bluetooth pairing and connection process so the customer understands how it works. Second, they identify the connected source devices by name, simplifying usage with more than one source device.

No. The speaker works only with the Bluetooth wireless protocol.

Yes. However, the quality of the experience — specifically, synchronization between audio and video — can be influenced by the Bluetooth implementation on the viewing device. You will get the best performance by keeping the SoundLink Mini II Special Edition and the device in close proximity, which minimizes wireless interference. Use of Wi-Fi® in the area also may affect performance.

The SoundLink Mini II Special Edition is very durable and able to withstand shocks and drops thanks to its solid construction, one-piece aluminum housing, and robust rubber foot. It is not water resistant.

 Luxe Silver and Triple Black SoundLink Mini II Special Edition

Better by design


Designed for sleek simplicity, its single-piece aluminum casing is durable and ultra-compact. Weighing in at just 1.5 pounds, it’s small and light enough to take it with you anywhere. It has a low profile that lets you place it almost anywhere without interruption and provides a low center of gravity that makes it nearly impossible to tip over. And with 20% more battery life than the current SoundLink Mini (up to 12 hours), you can keep the playlist going all afternoon.

Ratings and Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bose Soundlink mini review An opportunity came that I could not refuse. For such a small package, the performance is quite high. Here's a feature suggestion, being able to connect and use multiple Bose devices.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Big sound in a little box!! I love this little speaker for its size, portability, and most of all, sound quality. When listening to the SoundLink Mini II Special Edition during in-store comparisons I just can't find anything that sounds better to me than this little beast. Whether in the garage, home office, or on the outdoor deck I don't think you can find with better frequency range and clarity. I purchased 4 of the soundlink mini's over the years (two as gifts) and am happy to report that in their various model configurations the newer version sounds just as good at the original. Bluetooth connectivity with your music streaming device (I use iPhone and iPod) is easy and fast.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound and plenty of volume The Soundlink Mini has exceptional full range sound for a wireless speaker. My son had one that I had listened to on vacation and knew I was going to buy one. Found a great one day deal from Bose at $119 so pulled the trigger. Glad I did.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent sound and extremely sturdy speaker We bought 2 of these to replace the previous one I gave to my brother who loved listening to it when he was visiting. The sound they put out is fantastic. We love the solid stance so they don't fall over - I bought a Flex to replace mine first, but it is so easily knocked over it frustrates us, so then I bought the 2 Soundlink Mini's. We love Bose quality and sound. The only negative I can think of is that is doesn't connect to the Bose Connect app which I found out after an online chat with their support team.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An Iconic Product That Keeps Getting Better! A decade ago I heard my first set of Bose computer speakers. What immediately struck me was the fact that the bass didn’t simply stand out occasionally like it does on most sound systems I hear. With those speakers I could actually follow the bass line all the way through the song! That tradition continues with the Soundlink Mini. I’ve owned my Mini II for 4 years and purchased the latest Special Edition for my adult son for Christmas. Mine continues to amaze me. Let me explain: As some of you know, if you want to produce bass, you have to move air, and plenty of it. Running bass test tones through the Soundlink Mini II showed me that it produces bass down to about 60Hz with a fast roll off below that frequency. Somehow Bose gets that done with very small speakers, but there’s more. Not only can I follow the bass line of most any song all the way through, I can do it even at very low volume which is tough to do with any stereo system, minus having an included subwoofer. The bass never smears the midrange and simply anchors the music perfectly. In my lifetime I’ve heard everything from transistor portables to mighty mono-block powered stereo equipment and I’ve never heard anything quite this unique. If you choose to listen to a Soundlink Mini II beyond near-field distances, you can improve the sound field by backing the unit up to a wall or a corner. My personal choice is corner placement, about 2 feet out. This helps to up the bass quotient a bit while dispersing the frequencies reproduced by the rear facing speaker element. The effect is that of a much larger system, but don’t expect miracles in spaces other than small rooms. When listening within a few feet of the unit, there are times when sounds can appear well off to the side. At other times the depth can be so impressive that audio seems to be coming from way behind the unit. So don’t get discouraged by those who claim this product has little to no stereo separation because the internal speaker elements are so close together. It’s more about placement and how the music was mixed. One major advantage of the Soundlink Mini II over a typical stereo concerns the vocal presence. With a typical stereo, the vocals are supposed to sound like they’re coming from between the two speakers. So guess what happens as you progressively turn the volume down? Eventually that effect disappears, as does the whole stereo sound field. With the Soundlink Mini II you don’t have that problem and vocals come through strong and clear regardless of volume. Would I change anything? Yes. Any improvement in deep frequency response would always be welcome. Even with the depth it has now, bass can be boomy in some areas where placement options are limited. To alleviate that it would be nice to have the ability to control the bass via an app. I’d also like to see app control so that users can play the same audio on more than one Soundlink Mini at the same time. It’s my understanding that the Soundlink Mini was introduced in 2013. In my opinion, it’s become iconic, like the Wave Music System. So why was there no recognition of this fact or a special 10th anniversary edition, perhaps in at least one of the original colors? It’s my hope that Bose will continue to manufacture and improve this outstanding audio device. If you feel the same way, contact Bose and let them know so we don’t lose access to this great product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sound, perfect size and good value I love this little speaker! Great sound and great portability. At first I wasn't sold on the battery life but after a couple of full charges this little guy runs forever (well, not technically forever but for a very long time between charges). It easily synchs with blue tooth - even my ancient Ipod which I protect with my life because Apple took away my beloved Itunes library. A few speakers I've tried will not pair with it. I recommend this speaker highly - I have purchased several other portable blue tooth speakers and this one is by far the best one I've purchased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth every dollar Fantastic speaker! I've been buying other similar brand speakers for less money, trying to get good sound with bass. After buying a 1/2 dozen over the years, I've given up on it and put my money on what is worth the price. It is just too good, and I won't be buying any speakers that are not made by BOSE anymore!
