Bose Sound Link Blue Tooth Speaker - Upcoming TSV Presale

Lipstickdiva — Tue, 07 Aug 2018 16:20:44 GMT

In keeping with the theme of the thread about QVC informing customers when a product is old/outdated merchandise, this is not the current version of the Bose SoundLink Color Series blue tooth speaker. There is a Sound Link Color Series II out.

This model being sold by QVC is not available on the Bose website. I do believe it can be purchased at other places like Amazon but if you are interested in this TSV, please do your homework.

I think it is sad when they don't TELL people it is a closeout. Do they do that?

@Lipstickdiva, I was looking at this and considering purchasing it. I was doing a little research and noticed as you stated it isn't new, so I'm passing on it. I do wish QVC would be truthful with us, letting us know if something is the newest available or not. Some people don't care, they may like the price, as for me I always want to buy the latest and greatest when it comes to anything electronic.

Doesn't matter to me, one whit. This is a nice little unit at a really great price. I may buy a second one.🎼

Amazon had the SoundLink Micro Bluetooth speaker for $69 reg. $99 on Prime Day. DH bought it. He uses it at work as speaker for his TV or hooks up to his phone to listen to music.

He also uses it at home on his TV when he watches TV on the patio or while listening to music outside.

He hooks it up to his phone to listen to music when he takes a shower.

It's a nice little portable speaker. It's different then the SoundLink I & II. The sound is better then what comes out of the TV or phone. It's still available on the Bose site.

It has a strap on it to strap around handle bars on a bike if your ride bikes etc.

When I bought my Bose CD player from HSN a few yrs ago they did mention that they would not be selling that particular model after it sold out. They pussyfooted around it, but it was clear that it was a model that was being discontinued. That was fine with me - it meant that I was getting a good piece of equipment at a better price than whatever they were going to be selling in the future. I did appreciate that they were relatively honest about it.

It's a speaker. I wouldn't be too concerned about it being outdated. Speakers don't become outdated, but the way they look most certainly does. That price is great!

@SilleeMee that’s actually not true. Even though the Bose SoundLink I is a very good speaker, and that price is great, the Soundlink II is different, and for some better.

The Soundlink II is water-resistant, so it can spend some time out in the rain and that will not harm it. It has speakerphone capabilities, improved sound, and can be paired with eight other devices.

It all depends on what the purchaser wants, and what matters to them.

I'm not buying it, but it is a good price. It's something I'd never use. I have a system throughout my house, including sound out on my deck.

I bought one of those speakers a couple of years ago during a clearance at HSN. I use it with my Dot. It's a great little speaker with good sound quality and it's turquoise. What more could one want?

If speakers didn't become oudated, they wouldn't keep coming out with different models of them.

If it doesn't matter to you or it's not something you would use, that's fine. I was just trying to point out that you may want to check out the differences between the TSV and the newer design because this one may not have the features one needs.

For me, I like the water resistent feature of the new model because if I were to buy one, it would be for camping and boating so I would need that.

Yes the TSV is a good price but I'm sure we know why. Just like the last FitBit was a good price.

Hubs and I have been looking for something like this, and it fits the budget. We don't need all of the bells-and-whistles. Just a little speaker to connect to our phones or tablet to listen to Pandora, iheart radio, etc. We'll use it when we're out chillin' on the deck or just whenever we're outside doing whatever. Yard maintenance.....ugh. I see us using this quite a bit.

I picked up this same speaker last year when it was closer to $90 and am still happy with it.

The two differences I can discern (having tested the newer model in the Apple Store) are that the newer model has a rubber outer for water resistance (this one is more of a smooth plastic and is not water resistant) and the Link II also has a built-in microphone so you can pick up phone calls on the speaker.

This TSV model will turn off the music when your call comes in, so you can simply pick up your phone call on iphone as usual.

The sound difference seemed neglibile. If you are looking for better sound might as well go with the much more expensive Revolve version. That one has much better sound. (Also tested it vs. the Color Link II at the Apple Store.)

This one works OK for me and I prefer the plastic look for indoor home use to the more sporty waterproof one.

Wish I had gotten it at this price though!

😁

It's a great speaker at a great price. I also got mine on sale for $90+ a couple of years ago and I love it. I use it to play audio books from my tablet while I'm working.

we bought this version for my son several years ago and it's fine for our purposes. I use his when he's not here so I'm getting my own (in preparation for when he leaves for good!) ...anyway compared the differences between the 2 versions and I don't need the features of the new version so no need to pay extra for them. I just listen to music and I don't need it to be waterproof. The sound is fine. Great price. Although i do agree that QVC needs to be transparent about what they are selling to the customer. I've almost come to expect the TSV to be an outdated item.

The Soundlink 2 on the Bose website is $130, nearly twice as much as the TSV.

They keep reading the same reviews but there are no reviews for this product.

I got mine a couple years ago and hooked it up to my TV instead of a sound bar---works very well.
