Bose speaker
In a very tiny package comes the crispy clear 360 degree sound. Bose SounkLink Revolve II is about 6 inches in height and slightly over 3 inches in diameter. Because of its 360 degree sound wave design, it should not be a problem to find a place to let it stand without taking up much space. According to the manufacturer, the SounkLink Revolve speaker II is resistant not only to water but dust too. Because of that, it is ideal for a sunny beach or pool area as you will not have to worry if some water or sand will damage it. It is charged through a USB cable and once charged, the Bose speaker should be able to last up to 13 hours. Another great feature is the Bose app. That allows it to be paired with Siri or Google Assistant from the speaker as there is a built in microphone you can use. With this feature, there are many possibilities such as ordering takeout food or even texting somebody right from the speaker itself. Even though the SounkLink Revolve speaker II is capable of playing at a very high volume, sometimes that may not be enough. That's why Bose speakers can be paired with each other so that it can be louder and cover a larger area, such as for a party group. It also comes in two color choices triple black and luxe silver according to Bose.

    Amazing sound for such a little package!
    Once again Bose delivers unbelievable sound quality, clarity, super deep bass and vibrant treble even in a portable little package! Within 2 minutes of unpacking this already charged speaker I had it connected to my Amazon Echo and Spotify account and was playing my favorite playlist. The sound FAR surpassed the Echo so much that I have it permanently routed from the Echo to play all the sounds including video calls I make! The battery lasts so long I only have to put it on the charger once every couple of days! The app is useful as well as far as having a visual connectivity guide and I can control which songs I want to listen to. I've used it all over the house and can even leave it outside without having to worry about it getting wet because it's water resistant! It's the perfect party speaker! I can't wait to take it on our upcoming beach trip!

    Best Speaker Ever!
    Wow. This Bluetooth speaker is absolutely amazing. It is very simple to pair your phone to it and start listening to music. The sound this little speaker produces is incredible. The sound is crisp and clear with great bass. The speaker gets pretty loud especially when you put it at full volume. I use this speaker for everything, in the house, while I am cleaning, or outback while barbecuing. This speaker is durable and very well made. I have used plenty of Bluetooth speakers and this is by far the best one I have used. The charge on it lasts a long time and even when the battery gets low we just plug it in and keep the music going! I cannot day enough great things about this speaker. I am very impressed with how great the quality is. Highly recommend!

    Deep clean sound
    This little speaker picks a punch! Upon opening it I was impressed with how solid and heavy it feels in my hand. I downloaded the app that can control the settings and updates, which was great to have a screen to see how to utilize all the settings. I have a JBL flip 4 I bring to work and I compared the sound of the two. The Bose has so much more bass and sounds so clear, the JBL is great but I can tell theres a difference in the quality of sound. The only issue I had was when I tried to link the two speakers I wasn't successful, tho I only tired once as it wasn't necessary to I've both speakers bumpin in my room! I'm proud to say that it drowned out my brothers tv in the other room while I was watching YouTube and using the speaker, to the point where he heard my show over his own while in his room. It looks great on my nightstand, very sleek and takes up minimal space. I with the 3hr sleep timer set I've only had to charge about once a week and I have been using it nightly. Very happy with this speaker

    Great quality sound
    I know Bose makes a good product, so I was excited to try this speaker. I like to work outside so having a portable speaker only made sense. My ears are too small to use earbuds. So, when this arrived, I charged it for about 2 hours. It was at 100 percent when I checked on it. It was easy to set up using my phone. You will need to download the Bose Connect app in order for this to work. You can then Bluetooth it to your mobile device and use any streaming service or your phones storage to play music. The sound is incredible. It almost sounds like a home movie theater. The bass on it is that good. For outside, it is decently loud, and you can hear it well up to about 100 to 150 feet. I was able to work in my front yard and hear it from my porch. Inside, full volume is too much. It will definitely fill the entire house with sound. I have connected it to my tablet, my laptop and to my phone with no issues. It even connects to my Alexa. I also noticed that it could connect to more than one device but will only play from one device at a time. It comes with a charging cable but no plug. It has a feature to sit on a charging cradle that is not included. The one thing about this device is that the charge does not really last very long with continued use. I also noticed that when I turned it off, it was at 40% and when I turned it back on the next day, it was at 1% and needed to be charged. I am not sure how it can lose charge being off, but it did. Other than that, this speaker is great. It has great sound, and the portability is a plus! I am very happy with this speaker.

    Amazing sound.
    The Bose Soundlink portable Bluetooth speaker is a great speaker. Comes with a charging cable. The charge lasts a very long time, 12 hours. The sound that comes from this speaker is so clear. It's waterproof, so safe for pool parties. It's lightweight. Can easily connect to a cellphone. I can find no negatives to add. I would definitely recommend to others.

    Great sounding speaker 4.5 stars
    This speaker includes the instructions, a thank you card, and a micro-USB charging cable (approximately 36 inches long). The included instructions are a bit sparse, in my opinion, and could use some more details on the functions and features of the speaker. There are online instructions within the app as well, but they are also a bit sparse in the details. I did manage to find on the Bose website, a better detailed manual that was more helpful than the app or the included instructions. After plugging in and charging the speaker which took about 2 hours to fully charge, I downloaded the Bose Connect app. The app is a bit lacking as well and basically just gives the instructions for setup in the Apple App for my I-pad Pro. I also downloaded the android app for my Samsung S8 phone. The app does give you the option or not to sign up for a Bose account. You can skip if you want or if you want to create later. Keep the box as the serial number for product registration and warranty is on that. I believe the serial number is on the bottom of the speaker too, but it is so small and hard to read, it is best to keep the box. For some reason, I had a Bluetooth connection issue with my S8 that I didn't have on the I-pad. My Samsung S8 phone could not initially find the speaker. It took several tries powering on and off and I still had issue getting a connection with the phone. The I-pad found the speaker with no issue. Maybe this was the stock firmware's bug, I don't know exactly. I like the fact that you can connect up to 8 Bluetooth devices and two at one time, which is a must with all the tablets and phones that are in a typical household these days. The speakers Bluetooth range is roughly 30 feet, which is typical for most wireless speakers. There was a firmware update immediately available for the speaker that I updated via the Apple app, which I assume is the main advantage of having the Bose app. It is very slow to update this initial firmware patch though and you cannot close the app until the update is complete. It took approximately 4 hours to prepare the firmware update and the app only shows a small circle with a piece of pie filling in very slowly, so it was difficult to tell what progress the update was making. How about a percentage update instead? I don't know why it took so long to prepare the firmware as the actual update was less than a couple of minutes. The app overall needs some work. Granted this is a relatively new version of their speaker, but some of the app and firmware issues should have been resolved prior to release. The Bose app cannot find or control music without starting a music app first, which again seems to defeat the purpose of using the Bose app. As well as the connection issue that I had with connecting a second device, in this case an Android one. The speaker's voice on initial setup sometimes was a bit hard to understand and speaks a bit too quickly. Bose has always been known for their quality products and good sounding speakers. I do think they are a bit pricey though. I have had other brands of speakers like this, so I was definitely interested in comparing the sound and quality of a well-known brand versus others such as the Google home and other several other lesser-known brands. One big issue with the lesser-known brands is that they tend to last a shorter period of time than name brands. I appreciate that Bose has a 5-year warranty on this speaker, which speaks to the quality they put into their products. I expect quality from Bose and this speaker doesn't disappoint in that respect. This speaker has a stylish upright design, looks durably made and feels solid with some weight to it (around 2 pounds), but is still portable and easy to carry around. I do wish it had included a handle like the larger plus speaker does though. The top of the speaker has the +/- volume buttons, play/pause/answer/hang up button (multifunction), mode button, power button and Bluetooth button. The speaker lacks forward/back buttons and I am not sure why Bose did not combine the Bluetooth and mode button into one. The forward/back buttons have been combined into the Multifunction button, two presses for forward, three for back. That works well enough, but I personally would have preferred separate buttons. The included instructions nor the app explains any of the functions, I found this information on the Bose website. The touch buttons are nicely spaced and easy to push and use. The power, mode, and Bluetooth buttons have LED lights indicating their status. The bottom backside of the speaker stand has the micro-plug and an auxiliary port. The microphone is on the top in the middle of the buttons. The bottom underside has a non-skid surface which keeps the speaker from sliding around. There is also what I presume is a screw mount and four metal connectors that I presume might be for wireless charging in future models. I say presume, but neither of those things are referenced in any instructions I found. The speaker needs about 4 hours to fully charge and has approximately 13 hours of play time (which is excellent), depending on volume level. Pairing can be done via the standard Bluetooth way/NFC or connecting with an Aux cable. The speaker also has an auto-off feature that can be adjusted in the app to set the time of inactivity. As I mentioned, for some reason I had an issue with pairing on my android phone. The app needs to be a bit more helpful in getting things set up. In the Apple app, it tells you to go to the settings of the tablet and connect, instead of doing it for you. Bose has always excelled with providing speakers that sound as good as some that are much bigger. This speaker stands only 6 inches tall and roughly 2.75 inches in diameter at the bottom, but sounds like it is much bigger than it is. The speaker has a rich, deep sound with good bass. It gets plenty loud for its size. As far as a speaker of its size, this is one of the best sounding ones I have heard. Musically, the sound was very balanced and rich and full. I could not detect any distortion at higher volumes. With its design, it sounds like a full 360-degree speaker with great sound in all directions. The speaker's phone call capability was clear and sounded good on both ends of the conversation. The speaker is well built and feels like it could handle an accidental drop without an issue as well as having some protection from water and the elements. It will not however survive being submerged into water. It also has the ability to link several of these speakers together, although that could get a bit pricy in my opinion as compared to regular full-size speakers. This is a stylish looking speaker that has balanced, full rich sound with all the features you would expect from Bose. The app does need some work and there were some initial bugs in setup and the firmware updates. I, also, wished it had separated back/forward buttons and a carry handle, but the buttons do work well. This speaker has an outstanding 5-year warranty as well. It is pricey, but it is also a quality speaker with quality sound. Pros: Stylish, good quality Deep, rich, loud sounding speaker in compact size Great sounding speaker Good length USB cable Great warranty Easy to use buttons Full 360-degree sound Dust and some water resistance Tough and has some drop protection Can link multiple speakers together Can connect up to 8 devices Clear mic/calling ability Long battery life Portable (no carry handle though) Good Bluetooth range Adjustable auto off feature Cons: Needs better included instructions Bose App needs some work Firmware updates take a long time Lacks a separate back/forward buttons/Button design could be better Speaker voice speaks a bit too quickly and is sometimes hard to understand Not water proof Expensive 4.5 stars
