Bose SoundLink Revolve+ (Series II) Bluetooth Speaker, Portable Speaker with Microphone, Wireless and Water Resistant with 360 Degree Sound, Long Lasting Battery and Handle, Black

As someone who had the first version since 2017, this is a noticeable improvement
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.

Lots of crisp, clear sound from this little speaker
I upgraded my old Oontz Angle 3 portable bluetooth speaker with this Bose speaker after hearing it pump out tunes for the AquaGym instructor at a resort pool. Wow! Crisp, clear sound spread around the entire pool area with no tinniness or distortion, and adequate base. I was impressed.I’m not an audiophile and a single Bose SoundLink cannot compete with an amp and a house full of speakers, woofers and subwoofers. However, for quality-sounding music while entertaining, cooking, working in the shop or just relaxing with a good read, it’s perfect. And if you want to crank it up for your favorite tune, it will really fill the room.The battery life is impressive, as is the little voice that discretely announces that the speaker is on and which device it is connected with, and when it is turned off. Linking the speaker to my Android phone was quick and problem free. I wish I could give it six stars.

Absolutely Love it
East set up and great sound. Bought one for each of my family members—-it’s that good. I actually have 2 of my own. I have had no problems with it and I have 1 that is about 4 years old. Holds a long charge and charges quickly.

Loud and fast charging time
LOUD and the battery lasts a long time and charge time is short. You cant go wrong with bose! I love this speaker! i have a few that I got for free or cheap and they are just junk compared to this bad boy!

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 originalLo 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 moderadoLo 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 excelenteConclusión: 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.

For what I paid for, this is an absolute steal. I’ve been bose customer for over a 2 decades, starting from bose wired earbuds to soundlink mini 2 to qc 35 to this (revolve+ ii). When listening to classical music or jazz, I prefer listening with sennheiser products. But when leisurely listening to raps, rocks or pop music, I prefer listen with bose products. It’s more energetic and mid pushed back, easy listening. As a mono bluetooth speaker, this is plenty loud and has a distinct bose sound signature. Great leisure listening somewhat smart bluetooth speaker that does everything well. Sound is loud and energetic, built quality is amazingly solid, battery life is more than great, weather seal is ip55 that works just fine, and I can use it as smart speaker to answer phone calls or call up siri/google. In your backyard or picnic at the park or even at the kids baseball game, you can listen to your favourite music. I even sometimes use it while watching YouTube or play game with my phone. Works just perfect!Legendary Bose sound signature lives on!
