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. It included a rechargeable battery that was rated at up to 8 hours of playback at moderate volume levels. The rear of the device includes a 3.5 mm auxiliary input.

The SoundLink Mini II replaced the SoundLink Mini in 2015. This featured the same sound quality and shape as the original SoundLink Mini with a few subtle changes. Firstly the controls on the top of the speaker changed from 6 to 5 individual buttons, removing the mute button and AUX button (The speaker changed to AUX automatically when it received a 3.5mm input) and added a multifunction button which could perform a variety of functions such as play, pause, and answer calls (due to the added speakerphone capability). The other major change to series 2 was the change from DC charging to USB charging, which provided a more convenient charging solution. The USB charging port also allowed the user to install software updates through btu.bose.com when available. The SoundLink Mini II was quietly discontinued in late 2018, favoring the newly released Revolve and Revolve+.
