hmmm..
I have Bose Soundlink II
I use it with my Galaxy S3 via Bluetooth and to laptop via usual laptop audio out cable (no coax, no optical....just the usual cable for headphone).
I also own JBL Charge, it works also the same.
I tend to use JBL charge more often for long journeys or vacation, while using the Bose more often at home or for short trips or parties.
