TLDR: Great sound quality, great portability and size, and holds a good charge (5-6 hours at 50% - 70% volume.) The charging cradle is a must own if you buy this. It’s durable and holds up well, but it can dent and ding with relative ease; but it doesn’t effect the sound quality. I got more than 5+ years out of my first one, and it still works. The Bose app is great and easy to link multiple devices. Where this speaker absolutely shines is in Party Mode/Stereo Mode. It actually gives my Bose Smart Soundbar 900 a run (Only possible with two of these revolve+ in Stereo Mode; however, you can link any other Bose Soundlink speakers to it as well.) Silver hides dirt better than the black, but the black handle hides dirt better than the silver handle. The black also hides dents and dings a little better. One downside is the charging cradle only comes in black. If you can wait patiently, and would like to save some money; you can find this around $100 off retail during black Friday sales, Amazon Day sales, and during random flash sales. The first one I owned was a Silver Soundlink Revolve+ that I used daily, for roughly 5 years. Then after getting a PC, and finding out my monitor didn’t have speakers, I decided I wanted one more to connect with my PC (since I was always moving my silver series 1 back and forth.) But after seeing how effortlessly it connects to bluetooth, and being able to tell a difference in the quality of sound (from heavy everyday use for 5+ years) I felt like it would bother me. Before I hadn’t noticed it, but after comparing them directly, and using party mode/stereo mode (linking them ) I could tell my silver OG soundlink revolve+ was just a touch not as clear. If both were new, I’m pretty sure the only difference between the two would be the ease of bluetooth connection on the series 2 (this one.) The battery is pretty much about the same in my experience, but honestly I leave it on the cradle 95% of the time. If I had to guess, I’d say the Series 2 might be slightly better overall, but I’m inclined to think it has more with the software than a battery upgrade. However, it’s nice to grab and walk through the house from chore to chore while listening to an audiobook, podcast, or other media content. As far as portable speakers go, I think this is right in the pocket. It’s compact enough that it’s easily packed in a backpack, or drawstring bag; but it’s also loud enough that it’s worth carrying with you. Honestly, some smaller lower quality speakers just aren’t really worth the trouble. For example, my first Jambox, or my first JBL portable speaker. Those were both pretty mid to be honest, neither lasted more than 1.5 years. The sound quality is supurb, and has a nice overall balance between the high’s and bass. It’s very clear, even when it’s loud. My only recommendation would be to buy the charging cradle as it makes everything so much easier. I do feel like for the price it should include the charging cradle, but whatever. Ultimately, I was happy enough with the series 1 Soundlink Revolve+ that I decided to add another one. Then after hearing the sound degradation after 5 years, I decided to buy another. Honestly, without comparing them side by side, you’d never notice. But unfortunately I did, and then it always bothered me. I decided to retire my OG Silver Soundlink Revolve+ and gave it to a friend. He couldn’t believe I would give it away like that, but I assured him that I got every penny out of those 5+ years. He’s been using the OG revolve+ for more than a year now. And I’ve been using my two Series 2 revolve+ for more than a year as well. Both have held up great even with daily use. For reference, I usually listen at around 50% - 70% volume. Where this speaker really shines is in Party Mode/Stereo Mode with two of these Revolve + speakers. It honestly gives my Bose Smart Soundbar a good and close run. It’s a pretty pricy investment, but it can be easier to justify knowing you’ll easily get 5+ years out of it. Just don’t have it turned up to 100 all the time for hours at a time, and it should last you a very long time. PS: In all honesty, I think the Silver hides dirty and grime better than the black does. It sounds like the opposite would be true, but the black show’s every spec of dust, and finger prints standout a lot more. The only downside was the charging cradle only comes in black. The only benefit to the black color in my experience is that the black handle does hide dirt better. So it’s kind of a trade off. I got the black speakers this time around just as a refresher, I kinda wanted it to feel new and unfamiliar. In all honesty, after spending a year with the black, I’d say personally I prefer the silver. But the black does match the cradle, and it the handle hides dirt a little better. The black also hides dents and dings a little better too, but not by much. After 5+ years with OG revolve+ it had a number of smaller dents from being knocked around, thrown, falling off the table/desk, etc.. it’s made well, and you no doubt get what you pay for.

I treated myself to the Bose SoundLink speaker, and am glad I chose this over some other less expensive options. I am genuinely blown away by its exceptional performance and versatility. THE GOOD - Build: From the moment I unboxed the Bose SoundLink, I was immediately impressed by its sleek and modern design. Its compact form factor makes it incredibly portable, and the build quality is outstanding. The soft-touch materials and sturdy construction exude a sense of durability that assures me it's built to last. - Sound: The real magic, however, lies in its audio performance. The SoundLink delivers a rich, immersive sound that's hard to believe could come from a speaker of this size. The bass response is surprisingly punchy, mids are clear and vibrant, and the highs are crisp without being harsh. Whether I'm listening to my favorite music, streaming podcasts, or watching movies, the sound quality is consistently phenomenal. - Connectivity: One feature that sets the SoundLink apart from the competition is its impressive Bluetooth connectivity. Pairing my devices is a breeze, and the connection remains stable even when I'm in another room. The wireless range is quite impressive, allowing me to move freely without worrying about losing the connection. - Battery: Another standout feature is the battery life. I've used it for hours on end without needing to recharge, making it a reliable companion for extended listening sessions or outdoor adventures. The convenience of having a portable speaker with such a long-lasting battery is a game-changer. THE MEDIOCRE - Charging cable: Not a huge deal, but not having a USBC on a premium product purchased in 2023 is a miss. The micro USB has worked well over the past 6 months, but I still would much prefer the new standard USBC cable and can't fathom why it wasn't included in this version of the speaker. - Voice: For a premium speaker in 2023, I also thoguht the voice would be improved and sound more natural. Every time I turn this on, it automatically connects to my phone and says, "Connected to ...". The voice it uses to say this seems like it is from 2011 when Siri was introduced. It's by no means a deal breaker, but my expectation was higher at this pricepoint. What truly sets the Bose SoundLink apart, though, is its remarkable portability. I've taken it on hikes, to the beach, and even used it at picnics, and it has never disappointed. The built-in handle is a thoughtful addition, making it easy to carry, and its water-resistant design offers peace of mind during unexpected rain showers. In summary, the Bose SoundLink is a powerhouse of a portable speaker, offering impressive sound quality, ease of use, and incredible portability. It has quickly become an essential part of my daily life, ensuring that I never compromise on audio quality, no matter where I go. If you're looking for a portable speaker that delivers outstanding performance, look no further. The Bose SoundLink is a true gem, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in need of a premium audio experience on the go.

I purchased two Bose ppeakers and have been using them in party mode. Setting up the pairing was straightforward, and the synchronization between the two speakers works seamlessly. They easily connect to my vinyl record player setup at home. 50 feet away. The sound quality is excellent, with clear audio and consistent performance even at higher volumes. The battery life lasts several hours on a single charge, and the built-in microphone is a handy feature for taking calls. Overall, the speakers deliver on their promise, and the party mode is perfect for filling a larger space with sound or 2 separate spaces hearing the same thing.

The sound quality is good and the item is small and lightweight. So well and practically designed. So there is quality there but I wish there was more value to the price point.

As described, shipped and delivered on time. This is a wonderful speaker, not the cheapest one by far, but if you require serious sound quality to enjoy your music, take the plunge! I only rec'd today; set up was easy and fast. Deep, rich, bright and clear tones - I'm not a major audiophile, I just love a huge range of music and cannot abide a tinny, skimpy, thin playback! I am very happy with this purchase.

I can confidently say this is one of the best Bluetooth speakers I’ve ever owned! From the moment I powered it on, I was blown away by the deep, rich bass and crystal-clear highs. The 360-degree sound fills the entire room effortlessly, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. The battery life is fantastic—I can go for hours without needing a recharge, and the water-resistant design gives me peace of mind when using it outside or near water. The handle is a great touch, making it super easy to carry around. Pairing is seamless, and the connection remains strong even at a distance. If you’re looking for a premium portable speaker with unbeatable sound quality and durability, look no further. Bose knocked it out of the park with this one! Highly recommend!

Es una gran bocina y no decepciona , he tenido muchas bocinas de diferentes marcas, esta es la mejor que he usado, lo de los sonidos gaves es verdad le subes el volumen y no se pierde la calidad se distingue completamente las voces que es el uso principal que le voy a dar, otra cosa que me gusto mucho es que se pueden enlazar 2 dispositivos al mismo tiempo eso es muy útil una característica que no había visto en otros equipos, tiene Jack de 3.5 m.m es útil para conectarlo a equipos como una Pc que no tenga bluetooth y también al celular de manera directa, incluye el cargador y el cable usb PEROOO es micro usb cuando ahorita el estándar es USB tipo C, en ese sentido es volver a usar el Cable Micro usb, otro detalle que no me gusto fue que la base de carga especial no viene incluida y ya no venden la original Lo MEJOR: - El sonido grave excelentes -La portabilidad es liviana, cabe en la mochila, la base es firme - La autonomia de la materia llevo mas de 1 semana y todavía tiene carga con un uso moderado Lo malo - La app de Bose es muy básica y se desconecta a cada rato - Trae micro usb para cargar -Los sonidos agudos no son tan buenos como los graves escuchar musica instrumental es bueno pero no excelente Conclusión: Vale mucho la pena pero para un uso especifico y si no te molestan los inconvenientes que describí arriba, si la consigues con descuento cómprala

Eu tenho outros equipamentos Bose e esse não me decepcionou , acabamento de 1ª qualidade e som límpido . Amazon como sempre entregando bem antes do prazo anunciado, perfeito , entregue 15 dias antes do prazo prometido.

Bom volume, graves e agudos. Excelente para uma reuniao com amigos

Excelente bocina muy práctica para llevar a todos lados , bajos profundos y una muy buena calidad de sonido , la duración de la batería también es muy buena
