I had a few legacy Bose SoundLinks lying about. Thought this might make them useful but be aware that the Bose SoundLinks need the AUX button pressed before any input is accepted from the 3.5mm input. This made the Echo Input less than ideal for this setup.
Maybe just early days but when compared with Echo or Echo Spot, the microphone is not as sensitive. Probably uses the same inferior microphones found on the Echo Dot.

Speaker power-saving mode and volume
Speakers connected by 3.5 mm audio cable may power off if not used for an extended period of time. When possible, we recommend turning off the speaker’s power-saving mode by following the manufacturer’s instructions.
When connecting Echo Input to your speaker, first increase the volume of the speaker. Then say, “Alexa, volume 7” or “Alexa, volume up”.
