List of Bose portable audio products
Wikimedia list article
The portable audio products sold by Bose Corporation have been marketed as portable smart speaker and SoundLink. These wireless speaker systems are battery powered and play audio over a wireless connection from a separate source device (such as a computer or smartphone). Most Soundlink models use Bluetooth to communicate with the source device.
Models
SoundLink
The first SoundLink product was released in 2009 and used a USB wireless transmitter plugged into the computer to receive audio from the computer (using a proprietary protocol— not Bluetooth). The system included a remote control. Reviewers criticized the high price of US$550.
SoundLink Mobile
The SoundLink Mobile was released in 2011 as a smaller, battery-powered model. It used Bluetooth to communicate with the source device. Reviewers praised the unit's audio quality, but criticized the high price and lack of a microphone (to enable its use as a speakerphone).
The SoundLink Mobile was replaced by the SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II, sold from 2012 until 2014.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of Bose portable audio products” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q113903859. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2014.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
