Bose Soundlink Mini Speaker - Original VS Replica!

[@jeffwright9431]

My original Bose Soundlink Mini is playing as well today as it did years ago when I purchased it. People are amazed when they look around for the stereo system and discover that what they are hearing is coming from the small speaker sitting on a shelf behind my bar. Fact is I have two of them and they were only $160 each at the time of purchased. These speakers are really great outside when you place them in the corner of the patio and the sound bounces off the walls.

***** I recommend choosing a Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker .I've used. it's very good, i buy it on coupon links:-->> amzn.to/1Ihm3tk only $179.00 & FREE Shipping at home for you. -great sound -perfect size -holds a charge for a long period of time (no specifics, sorry) -easy to set up -feels rugged

[@InXLsisDeo]

Instead of buying fake Boses, go buy a JBL Charge 2 for the same price. Better sound than the Bose Soundlink Mini, can go louder, has the ability to serve as a spare battery to charge your smartphone, and probably has better build quality than the Bose clones.

[@Acoustic_Theory]

This comparison video is still inconclusive without a full teardown, comparing the construction of the drivers and passive radiators, plus the amplifier section. Differences will be subtle, but the benefits you get from those differences are why you're paying for the original Bose unit. If the drivers are cheaper (smaller magnets, less robust cones/suspensions), then the music won't have the same impact, and if the passive radiators are cheaper, then there may be more bass distortion from the replica. If the amplifier section is different, then the replica may not play as loud.

[@andy_barus]

Jika kualitas suara sama, kenapa tidak kita beli yang murah 😃👍

[@OOICU812]

Probably has to do with how long the real ones last compared to the fake ones. ​@@andy_barus

[@gregtimlin8829]

Just want to say thanks. Ordered a supposedly authentic BOSE on line, then stumbled on this vid while waiting for it to be delivered. Turned out it had all the indicators pointed out here for fakes. Contacted BOSE and confirmed the serial number was unavailable, and told that to the auction website. Got full refund and bought real BOSE direct from the company. Might not have gotten the best price, but am really happy with my speaker. So thanks again.

[@user-gv5pp6iw5i]

they are both real Bose products. difference is - region of world (POWER SUPPLY, label Design) - factory rejects (sold for recycling, not meant for consumers) - model revisions/prototypes (outdated/improvements made...) you normally don't see these on the market, reselling scrapped/recycled products are illegal TM infringement. and they will not honor warranty on said Items (#s are recorded, and only from authorized retailer sales) they might offer 10% discount toward new purchase. many companies do this and try to insure it's recycled (FIXING it costs more than new Production)

[@Chuffin_ell]

You nailed it. The source of manufacturing clones has been streamlined and outsourced from clandestine operations directly to OEM producers. Win/win?

[@iozzyi]

I just bought one from Amazon (on offer) and it seems like it has higher treble / flatter bass than my friend's copy (which he bought from the Bose retail store). I wonder if Amazon are selling lower quality copies in the offer.

[@MachoHasGame]

Ozzy same with me. i live in Croatia and i wanted to get one from amazon but my dad has a musical store for all kind of speakers guitars everything about sound and music. And he needed to order some Bose products so he ordered one Soundlink Mini 2 for me instead of me buying it off Amazon. Now i dont know if Bose products that are shipping to European countries are less quality, but my Bose speaker i think is alot quieter and has less bass than my friends one. Maybe thats just in my head cause i havent listened music on his speaker for a long time so i forgot how it actually sounds or maybe because i use S7 for connecting and he was using iPhone 7. i think you can turn up alot louder when playing off an iOS device than when you listen on an Android device

[@alinutzalin6346]

True, I got the logitech c920 on sale for 29 GBP, and it had scratch marks and video quality ain't that good, not even talking about auto-focus. At least the mic is pretty good when you turn down to 70%. But I got an AKG d5 so it's kind of useles :)) Still, like it tho.

You think if you buy the real one from a store and a fake one from the web and put the fake one in the real box and return it would they find out??

[@jaydalire4698]

Yes, coz the charging pins are different, plus the color of the area where the buttons are, are kindda different according to this review.

[@chromewater1879]

Both are original, just a different version, they put one of them on sale to clear their inventory for the updated one, replica quality will never be close to the original, if they can make it that good then they should better make their own brand.

+day1971 incorrect, that left one is indeed a fake lol. the thing is it's not as reliable as the real one. you have a warranty and a brand that stands up to the price point of 200+ dollars. with the fake, you're pretty much fucked if something goes wrong. and authentic is always better quality.

@Leavethe gun. Honestly people are stupid? Like buying the Bose Hype? For years, their spokesman was an 80 year old Paul Harvey. Bose will NOT show their speakers frequency responses, because they are not, accurate, detailed or efficient. Bloated sound, over eq'd small tweeders. I don't condone fraud, but, Bose is way overrated, and pricey. Don't compare Bose to a Mercedes, Mercedes will post their information on performance, not hide behind this illusion on how a human hears a live performance.

abeeftec, these are 'passive radiators' used to enhance the bass output.

[@americanidle1277]

@@abeeftec Passive radiators are non-powered speaker drivers that act as a hybrid between a bass reflex port and a normal speaker driver. They are tuned to a certain frequency where they pretty much increase the amplitude of the rear waves of the powered speaker drivers. Essentially making the lower frequencies louder without having to add another speaker driver.

[@HifiCentret]

I'd really much like a better sound quality comparison. Turning volume all way up is not a good comparison as the (original) Mini distorts quite noticeably when volume nears the top. Don't get me wrong it's loud enough for most listening situations even above normal casual listening levels but pushing it it's not build for. It has that extra room to be able to have acceptable level on silent recordings but it's not build as a party machine for more than two or so. Also if taking the replica apart I wonder how close they've gone. How close a replica are the passive radiators - are they just as soft suspended, equal travel length etc. The same for the drivers are they equally soft suspended and do they have just as long travel as the original (the original at the time of introduction had double the travel of any other driver) and do they have large powerfull magnets (very important for both efficiency and sound quality) etc. One thing I don't believe they've copied is the DSP (digital sound processor). It's a very important part of the reason the original has such exceptional bassfor it's size. In other words it alters the signal to the drivers to compensate for the caracteristics of small units. For a driver to deliver significant amount of bass below it's resonant frequency it has to be boosted (yes I simplify it a bit I know) and as small drivers naturally has higher resonant frequency they don't go as low - even though they might have the travel to be able to move the required amount of air for the given volume. The copy could come a long way with just a simple equalizer (even an analogue one between D/A and amplifier chip) but things get complicated if you want to be able to turn up the volume without heavy distortion and you'd still miss the last bit of sound quality. Could be fun taking an original taking it apart and feed the signal from the electronics to a pair of larger hifi speakers instead of the original drivers. It'll sound bassy beyond belief as those speakers naturally better reproduce bass without any active compensation and I believe it may even sound wierd too depending on how heavy processing they've done. A passive radiator is actually very distorting (you just don't notice it that much in those frequencies) so they might even do some compensation the that too. Doing the same with the electronics from just about any other bluetooth speaker will result in very good natural sound as they don't do any DSP but merely basic amplification - compared to the original drivers - remember being bluetooth especially non apt-X and quality of D/A converter and onboard amplifier are still limiting factors.

[@Turks0Holland]

Have this a better sound than a beats pill(replica) ? And bass?

[@samatoche]

The sound is different due the speakers mount, probably the original one has a smooth suspension and bigger coil, in a one way system makes you lose some treble.

I saw the product listed on "wish" few days ago, it costs 20 pounds so I am not sure if it is genuine or not, if you want to buy the genuine speaker you should get it from the bose store or from amazon.
