Our Recommendations
Speakers:
1. Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker II ($199.00)
Yes, the Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker II isn’t a new release. (It was actually released back in June 2015) But, it’s still one of the best speakers in the market. It packs a big sound, coupled with a deep base, for a full-range listening experience. Despite its lack of features like water-resistance or longer battery life, it is wireless and ultra-compact. This allows you to carry the legendary Bose sound anywhere and everywhere. To top it off, it’s also said to be built like a tank.
Promising Review: “This diminutive speaker punches way above what its size would suggest, producing deep bass, sparkling highs and a lush midrange. While most wireless speakers sound OK, the Bose SoundLink Mini II proves that small speakers don’t need to compromise on sound.” – Techradar.com
2. Bose SoundLink Micro ($119)
If you’re looking for a portable outdoor speaker, this is it! The Bose SoundLink Micro, one of Bose’s smallest speakers, brings good-quality sound and volume, that is guaranteed to blow your mind. This speaker is also not just fully waterproof with an ipx7 rating, it is also wireless and has a built-in speakerphone for taking calls out loud and voice access to Apple’s Siri or Google Assistant. And that’s not all! It is also extremely portable and comes with a tear-resistant strap to bring it wherever you go.
Promising Review: “This thing is great for work, love the sound. A full battery will take you through the day. I work with heights and this little speaker survived a 60ft fall to concrete and was still playing music!!” – User Daynemn
3. Bose Home Speaker 300 ($299.00)
Can’t decide between getting an Amazon Alexa or a Google Assistant to make a smart home? Well, this is the answer to your dilemma. The Bose Home Speaker 300 is a voice-operated speaker with great microphone performance and a wallet-friendly price tag, compared to its competitors. Like almost every other Bose audio product too, this is a room-rocking bass and 360-degree lifelike sound speaker.

5. Bose Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth Headphones 700 ($549.00)
Tired of your colleague’s endless gossip or the irritating-child-on-the-plane-that-wouldn’t-stop-crying? Well, we’ve got your back. Hailed as one of the best noise-cancelling headphones, the Bose Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth Headphones 700 is designed with 11 levels of noise-cancelling, so that you can easily block out unwanted noise (at the highest level) or let ambient sound in (at the lowest level).

Bonus:
7. Bose Frames Audio Sunglasses ($269.00)
Bose has outdone themselves by combining two of the coolest things – shades and wireless earphones – by designing a pair of sunglasses with built-in Bose speakers that can produce rich and immersive sound for the wearer, while others hear, practically, nothing. This pair of sunglasses also has an integrated microphone for clear calls and access to either Apple’s Siri or Google Assistant.
Promising Review: “The Bose Frames deliver surprisingly decent sound using embedded micro speakers. While the arms are slightly bulky, the sunglasses don’t feel heavy on your head and are comfortable to wear. Using sunglasses to make calls works well. Even though the audio sounds loud to you, people won’t hear it unless they’re standing right next to you.” – Cnet.com
