Review on Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Wireless Speaker - Leather (Previous Model) by Cindy Hardin

Soundlink has much better (and louder) sound than my jambox, although my book hardly counts it as portable. It's a Bose, so no wonder it's expensive for its class. I was very surprised to find that it comes in a regular box (with all retail graphics), unsealed (not even a plastic sheet to keep the valve closed). UPS turned out to be a reliable shipper, so there were no problems in this regard. Two wishes: - I would like it to charge (even slower) via the USB port. It's annoying to keep having (or lost) another unique wall wart. - I wish it had a play/pause button. If my car can control that via Bluetooth, then of course the speakers can too.
