A speaker system with a USB dongle that connects together wirelessly. That’s exactly how Bose SoundLink works. The SoundLink is the company’s first dedicated network audio streaming package for PC (and hopefully for Mac as well). It’s touted as a time saver for consumer joe to set up a hassle-free wireless music system without worrying about Wi-Fi configurations. The PC treats the wireless adapter as any USB audio device so any software media players (e.g. iTunes, WMP, Pandora) are compatible with the Bose SoundLink.

The speaker itself can reportedly operate through walls and floors, and is powered by a Li-ion battery that provides at a minimum three hours of playback at full volume. An auxiliary input is in the back for 3.5mm audio source connection. What we would like to confirm is the wireless radio chosen by Bose in the SoundLink as none of the marketing material gives us any hints. What’s certain is that the $549.95 price tag is going to make everyone jaws drop, in this economy.
