Is this the newest version of the speaker- which is supposed to have better sound and transmits to 50 vs 35 feet? Or is it the last generation?

It's the previous generation. But it meets my needs very well. I know I've gone at least 30 feet at times with this unit, sound kicks out intermittently, but not enough to annoy me. Battery life is very satisfactory as well.

I don't believe this is the latest version since I bought mine for $78 on Amazon. It does transmit from 35-50 ft. and the sound is incredible!
637777
I honestly don't have space to test 50 ft but to my understanding this is the latest model.
637778
Unsure. I just know that it produces great sound for the price and the size, easy to pair with your devices.

Gloria~ The sound link only works with blue tooth capacity. My bose radio/cd player is more than decade old and is not wireless compatible. I love the Soundlink. I have a first generation and love it. Interestingly enough, I work in a high school in Massachusetts and recently took a class on a field trip to BOSE corporate headquarters. One of the presenters showed the students the Soundlink and said there is little difference between the first generation and newer models. The newer models don't have the 'flap' design but the sound is just as great.

This one is bigger but lighter, and has bluetooth 4.0. I compare its sound to the one coming out from a mobile phone speaker. No bass, and as loud as a mobile phone. The B009N1RV9U is smaller, heavier and has an older bluetooth version, but it sounds 3 time better than the newer version, a lot louder and has bass. I recommend the B009N1RV9U.

The speaker signal travels lightning fast. Unless the difference in length is over 50 feet long it will not make a difference. The sound traveling from the receiver to the speakers will get there at essentially the same time.

I've had the HC-55 almost a year and have been very happy with it. The 58 is not an improvement, just a model with different features. The speaker system and overall sound are exactly the same. The AUX input and BLUETOOTH input are much more useful for us than the Apple-proprietary and non-free features of the HC-58.

Not sure however, this speaker works great!!!! It has great clarity, distance and entertainment success. I highly recommend this product. I live in a beach community where homes are very close and there is no interference. It also has decent range true to the product advertisement. Truly a great buy and design. No one even realizes it's a speaker.

I looked at the MM6501s for a long time before ordering. During that time, last fall, a number of sites listed Mobile Monitor-series speakers as out-of-stock or discontinued. Vendors that had them were sell them for half list-price. At one point, Polk's own website pulled info about some of them. All this indicated the speakers reached End-of-life and Polk was likely clearing product channel while discontinuing them.. or at least before releasing an updated version. I can't say for sure, but I believe you're looking at an updated SKU versus the previous version of the product. I'm not sure what's different. I'd hope the newer ones are better in some way. That said, the older version is pretty amazing. I put a lot of time into sound deadening the doors on my car prior to installing the speakers so hopefully i'm hearing them under the best install circumstances.. but the results are unmistakable. They're an amazing 6.5 component system. I was listening to Luscious Jackson, Fever in Fever out yesterday and the bass lines were deep and clear.. highs shimmered.. full mids. My system is only partially built out.. speakers with stock headunit.. no amp, no sub. The MMs don't move nearly as much air as a small sub but they to reach deep. I'm debating even building a sub cab next spring. I think I'll have plenty bass with a new head unit and an amp. I can't imagine Polk can provide a significant improvement over the previous version. Hope this helps.

I have not compared them, but the A5 from Bowers & Wilkins is the best sounding wireless speaker I have listened to.

These are an updated model. The outside material has been changed but the hardware remains the same. It still uses the same earphone driver but it is now angled. The angle produces more of a treble heavy experience. The fit is different. The 700 is a bit heavier and fits more comfortably whereas thr 700x slips and digs into your head constantly. You have to mod them to be comfortable. The old ones sound richer due to the different front facing material but the newer ones produce higher range (artificially). Either way, these are great positional audio cans with a decent amp. I use Sound Blaster Z (has a standalone amp). Personally I use mdr-v6 cans with custom fittings. These are an updated model.

They're basically the same, except with a (built in) lower cross-over point from mid range a high range. So, these (depending on how you look at it) are either "bassier," or "have less treble." Although I believe the cross-over point isn't much different. So essentially the same speaker.

Yes they are the latest version. Great speakers. Check Best Buy. They were running sale on this system.

It is the speaker quality of this one that is better/ along with being thx certified. I currently have the step down model and am saving to get this one.

I'm not sure, but the bluetooth is so weak on it that you can't move away more than about 6 feet before it starts breaking up. This speaker LOOKS GREAT, but it SOUNDS PATHETIC. I had bought mine about 7 months ago at Target, took it back and got my money the next day. It has to be the absolute worst bluetooth speaker I have ever used. (The design style iHome copied from Native Union) I bought it refurbished on Amazon for $49, New it retails for $129 but its a fantastic looking and sounding speaker.

Not this model. They do have a model that is thhree of theses same speaker cubes with a base unit that has more range then the single one and can use all three at once. But its' a couple hundred.

I am listening to mine right now via BlackBerry tooth. I have had it for well over a year and use it most every day. My son gave me a Jam blue tooth portable speaker for Christmas, and, while nice and a little smaller, has a shorter battery charge and less audio volume and quality. However, I was under the impression that Monster had quit making the Clarity.

I have not seen a newer model, I have the my old 720 for backup and it still works.The 730 is a good reliable unit, me and my wife both have one.we are using it with the Samsung galaxy strat 3 (had more problems with smart phones) than with the Bluetooth.
