Customer Ratings & Reviews

This speaker is really good. The sound quality is clear, loud for its size, and has good bass. Battery life is solid and lasts long enough for daily use. It’s easy to carry, lightweight, and perfect for home, outdoor use, or travel. Definitely worth the price and I would 100% recommend it.

I’ve been using my Bose Bluetooth for a few weeks now, and honestly, it been one of my best tech purchases. The sound quality is what hits first. Everything feels clear, balanced, and immersive. Whether I’m listening to music, watching videos, or even taking calls, the audio just feels premium—not too bass-heavy, not too flat, just right. It’s perfect for studying, commuting, or just relaxing. Bose is known for this, and they definitely live up to the hype here. Another thing I didn’t expect to appreciate this much is the comfort. Battery life has also been solid. I don’t find myself constantly charging them, which makes daily use stress-free

Amazing little speaker. It has people doing a double take when they hear the big sound and pounding bass and see it’s coming out of a cute little speaker. It’s heavy, compact and once you get a case for it, it’s easily taken on the go as needed. I love the yellow color and found a matching case for mine. I really like how everytime you power it on, it tells you the battery percentage. I was also able to adjust the EQ in the app to suit my preferences which is always important to me.

Excellent portable speaker for use, and it offers a chargin port for mobile devices. Would definitely recommend. Bit heavy but is worth the price and quality

This is a great little speaker that is easy to take with me for in the go sound. I use it mostly when I'm working or relaxing in the yard.

This speaker is so great. We're very high volume and heavy base. Through the Bose app you can control the base the mids and the trouble very convenient. I highly recommend this speaker, perfect for music and movies

Good when you want hear song with beats and bass at low to mid volume. If you increase volume its laoud like other spearkers (comparing with JBL) but bass and beats downgrade. Play time is really good.

Love the sound quality of this speaker. I use it everyday and the battery lasts a while but not as long as i would expect for the size. Overall, the bass is strong which i love, the strap makes it easy to travel with and its really easy to connect to devices. Charging is also pretty fast

Awesome build quality! Sounds amazing! This speaker sounds amazing with really good bass and super clear mids. Super well-balanced sound profile, totally recommend it!

Love listening to the music and the sound is amazing too

Excellent quality,sound is too good.Value for money.Best product to buy.

For fans of Bose products, they have another great offering in the wireless Bluetooth speaker category. And for those not familiar with Bose but are fans of bass in their music, the new Bose SoundLink Plus will be sure to please. In their SoundLink series of four speakers, the new Plus slots in next to the top offering in size and price. The SoundLink series offers the ability to sync together two compatible SoundLink speakers to play either in “Party” mode (same output from both speakers) or “Stereo” mode (left and right stereo sound from the pair of speakers). The SoundLink Plus contains two powered drivers and two front facing ports and two rear facing ports that enhance the bass output of the speaker. The case of the unit is covered in silicone rubber except for the metal front panel and the rear panel which appears to be a hard plastic. Bose states that the speaker meets IP67 standards for dust and water resistance. The first number (6 in this case) is solid particle resistance, which ranges from 0 to 6. The second number is water resistance (7 for the Plus), and ranges from 0 to 9. The SoundLink Plus lends itself well to a life spent outdoors and on the go for those people that spend time at the beach, on the lake, or at the pool. Please note that after exposure to salt water or chlorinated water (pools), the Plus should be rinsed with clean tap water and allowed to dry before it is hooked up to charge. I find it interesting that while other water resistant speakers I have seen all have had a rubber door or cover over the charging port to keep water out of it, but on the SoundLink Plus this port is out in the open and Bose recommends simply that the port be allowed to dry before connecting the cable to the port. Speaking of the charging port, the SoundLink Plus is able to send current the other way through this USB-C port and charge your phone or tablet with up to a 15 watt output. This is probably not enough to charge your laptop, but should be sufficient to charge your phone when you are away from AC power availability. Bose provides a USB-C to USB-C charging cable, but it is only 18 inches long which can make it inconvenient in some situations depending on the location of the AC power outlet you are going to use to charge the speaker. There is no power supply (adapter, block, whatever you want to call it) supplied in the box. It is interesting to note that the owner’s manual states that there is only a charging cable supplied while on Bose’s website it states under “What’s In The Box” that there is an included “USB-C power supply (U.S. only, Not available in all regions)”. My unit did not contain a power supply. Bose also states that it takes 5 hours for the SoundLink Plus to fully charge, but there is no mention as to the wattage output of the power adapter used for this spec, or what the maximum charging accepted by the speaker is. And for what is included in the box besides the speaker and the charging cable is what Bose calls a “Safety Sheet”. A small booklet in 17 languages and contains what I suspect is information that is required by law to be included. The full owner’s manual is available on Bose’s website for viewing or download and the English version is 43 pages in length. I long for the good old days of paper manuals being included with products. I find reading long documents with small print on my phone tedious, so I use my computer and would find a physical version to hold in my hands more pleasurable. But, the electronic version does have the handy search capability. Another interesting “feature” or more accurately lack thereof, is that the SoundLink Plus does not contain a microphone and thus is unable to be used for phone calls. This is probably a non-issue for young people that rarely talk on the phone, but I thought it merits mention since every other Bluetooth speaker I have had contact with offers this function. This is a good time to also mention that not all of Bose’s wireless speakers that carry the “SoundLink” moniker are able to sync with and play in unison with the SoundLink Plus. We have a SoundLink Mini II and a SoundLink Color in the house and neither of these older Bose SoundLink speakers can sync with the Plus. I have included a picture of the SoundLink Plus and our SoundLink Mini II to offer a comparison of size for those Bose owners that may be considering an upgrade from an older product. There is an app available simply called “Bose” that gives you the ability to customize the SoundLink Plus to your liking in that you can adjust sound quality through an equalizer function, make adjustments to the “Auto-Off”, “Bluetooth Connections”, “Shortcut”, and the “Voice Prompts” features, update firmware of the speaker, and access “Technical Info” and “Common Questions”. It is also possible to make additional colorations to your music by adding the EQ settings in the app you are using to provide content through your phone or tablet. The SoundLink Plus comes with a carrying loop made of braided nylon which makes for a comfortable way to carry it with a finger or two through the loop and also gives you a way to clip it onto something using a carabiner. At 3-pounds 6-ounces the Plus can be a bit of weight to carry around or have clipped to a backpack for any length of time, so it might be better suited for carrying to the party rather than going along for the ride on your skateboard. Currently the speaker comes in three colors, Black, Blue Dusk, and a limited edition Citrus Yellow. I found the black silicone covering to be a virtual dust magnet and it always looks “dirty” and is hard to wipe clean without leaving lint behind. The sound quality of the Bose SoundLink Plus is of the excellence that fans of Bose have come to expect from the company and their products over the years. The Plus is of a size than can fill a large room with your favorite music and minimal distortion even when pushed to very loud volumes. The size of the SoundLink Plus is deceiving in that it is capable of producing a much deeper and richer bass response than seems possible when you first see it. Sound quality and preferences are very subjective and vary from person to person, so best to listen to a demo first if you can. Bose suggests the battery can play up to 20 hours, but like anything “your mileage may vary” with the volume you are extracting from the device. The Bose SoundLink Plus should provide years of service based on the quality feel it imparts and from my past experience with their products. A standard 1-year warranty is provided along with the option to purchase additional coverage.

I love the style and the color. Battery life is perfect.

The first thing I noticed was the weight coming at over 3lbs. and is felt when hanging on a backpack or carrying it on one hand by the fabric braided handle. I would have liked a shoulder strap option to make it a bit more portable. The rubberized finish around the speaker feels great in the hand and provides excellent grip and protection (within reason). The water/dust IP67 rating makes it an ideal speaker for enjoying sound outdoors without worries. Fast pair on Android is smooth and having the companion app makes it even better. Having Bluetooth 5.4, the speaker maintains a good connection at decent distances, and the multi-point capability is very much appreciated. The app is a bit simplistic but provides some customization such as choosing/editing connections, shortcut, and EQ, as well as updates and battery life. The product can also be linked with other compatible speakers for extended audio coverage, or as a stereo set. The sound quality is very good for the most part. On default settings, and with AptX active, the bass has impact and where needed there is plenty of sub-woofer depth. The midrange is a bit recessed but not to the point of being overshadowed. The treble adds much needed clarity. The EQ helps, but one must be ready to mess with it often when changing genres or songs. The sound can get a bit distorted at above 80% volume in my testing, but I doubt it needs to go that high since the speaker can get extremely loud. In casual or social situations, such as backyard cookouts, poolside, or at the park, the listening experience is quite enjoyable and fun. I just would not listen critically expecting high-end audio. The battery life is very good. It lasted for 2 full workdays, roughly 18 hours, at about 30-40% volume at the office. It takes almost 4 hours plus for it to charge via USB-C. I really like the fact that the speaker also doubles as a portable battery bank. For the price, I would’ve appreciated a few more features such as phone call capabilities, a more robust EQ, lossless audio via USB-C, an AUX input, and a charger. Having said that, I believe this speaker provides that undeniable premium Bose audio experience, and I for one would not regret the purchase.

Since getting this Bose SoundLink Plus speaker, I’ve been listening to music in the evenings and mornings. It’s a portable speaker that is just right in size - big enough to be powerful and small enough to be portable. The battery life has been great. I charged it fully for 5 hours (with the included charging cable) before the first use 7 days ago. I’ve used it for probably 9 hours total so far and it’s currently at 60% - which adds up because it’s supposed to last 20 hours. The sound is clear and I really like that it’s loud enough to listen to from other rooms. It’s great for active listening or ambiance music. Volume/loudness is very important to me because I use a portable speaker to listen to audiobooks and podcasts when I wash my hair. I am happy that the SoundLink Plus speaker gets loud enough to overpower the shower noise and a hair dryer. If you want to hear bass, I suggest using the Bose app to adjust the EQ settings. The bass is audible or noticeable up until around mid volume. Beyond mid volume, the bass is hardly noticeable in my opinion. This is a little bit of a bummer especially since “booming bass” is one of the main features listed. Bluetooth connectivity was very easy and you can connect up to two devices so both me and my husband are connected to the speaker. The speaker itself has a good weight to it. Most of the speaker housing has a soft rubber feel to it - which in my experience may degrade and turn sticky after a few years. I can’t wait to use it for pool day later this summer! The speaker’s ingress protection makes it so it’s water / dustproof and would survive being submerged up to 3 ft. Good to know in case of an accident. The Bose app will also let you know the moisture level of the speaker and when it’s safe to charge again. My only real complaints about this speaker, which I mentioned above, are the bass and the housing material. For the bass, at least it can be tinkered with on the app with Bass boost. And for the soft-touch rubber coating, nothing is actually wrong right now, there’s just the possibility that it may degrade in a few years - I hope not though! It’s honestly been so much fun to listen to albums and playlists this whole week. I’m satisfied with it and will definitely continue to use it at home. Reading more about the features, I like the possibility of creating a system by connecting it to another Bose speaker. I think that would be great for future parties.

This Bose are amazing!! Excelent product!! I recomended this!!

The new Bose SoundLink Plus Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Black) is the BEST speaker I've ever owned! My previous Bose SoundLink Revolve+, which I purchased back in 2018, has been serving me well, but I was really excited to try the latest version of SoundLink. I really appreciate that this model has a better charging system via an enclosed USB-C (C to C) cable (and not a cradle). I would have preferred a longer cable and also A to C instead (my pic is with an adaptor) but these cables are so common and I already own a longer cable, so not a big deal but still wanted to make a note. The initial charging took several hours (left it plugged in overnight) but each full charge is supposed to last up to 20 hours, according to the spec sheet. But enough about these minor details - the most important feature, of course, is the sound quality and it is SUPERB! NEW Soundlink Plus has a very clean and crisp sound and you can hear the vocal and each instrument so clearly that you almost feel like you are right there in the recording studio! I even did a sound test between my old Bose SoundLink Revolve+ and the NEW SoundLink Plus by listening to the same music and couldn't believe how the sound was so much better on the NEW Soundlink Plus - absolutely no contest! I am not a fan of the loop handle (liked the actual handle on my old Soundlink Revolve+ better) but it's better than not having one at all. The loop is hefty but soft enough and it seems durable and sturdy enough to last for a very long time. I didn't download the app, but it works just as well without it, and connecting to my devices via Bluetooth was super easy. So, if you are a music lover and expect a topnotch sound quality in your speaker, Bose Soundlink Plus is a solid choice. I highly, highly recommend it!

This Bose Soundlink Plus is the best portable speaker I own, by far. Out of the box, the speaker has a loop carry handle with the product heft that speaks to Bose quality. Click on the box QR code link and it will take you to a full online instruction booklet. I own an android phone and quickly connected via bluetooth. This speaker allows 2 devices to connect to it. Finally ! Why do so many companies allow only 1 device connection? Thank You, Bose. This multi device connection function allows you to smoothly change between devices. The speaker has a shortcut button for the multi device function or to use as a one touch spotify connection button. From the factory it is programmed to operate the multi device function. This speaker can connect with a number of other Bose smart speakers as well, to create use between them for parties and more. Just another quality feature. The speaker operates by voice prompts and can do so in a multiple of languages. Don't like voice prompts? You can turn off that feature. The sound quality is the exceptional sound quality you would expect from Bose. Amazing. Used it last weekend and was phenominal. Great Bass and terrific balance. You need to hear it to believe how goid it is. Think the Bose quality you have heard of for years and years. The speaker charges by usb-c cable and takes a few hours to fully charge. Bose says it can play about 20 hrs on full charge. I have used it several days and haven't had to recharge it yet. The speaker is waterproof and durable. Great for the yard, house, beach and more. This speaker will surely last me for several years. Bose still is the leader in sound and product design. This is a must buy portable speaker. Bose has done it again...

It's a wonderful toy for me. I'm a Schools bus Drivers. Listening my talk show favorite and music.

Being a Bose speaker, I was expecting great things. That's exactly what they delivered. I have used their QuietComfort noise cancelling ear buds for years and love them. We've had and used several cheap portable speakers for beach trips and in the garage and they've done reasonably well, but nothing compares to the sound quality and room-filling sound of Bose. Out of the box, the battery level was very low, so I charged it in the kitchen. While it was charging, I paired it with my phone and the Bose app. I initially used my phone's EQ settings to make adjustments, but it wasn't quite right. I then used the Bose app's EQ settings and was able to find the perfect balance. I listened to a few songs that I know very well and they sounded great. I then turned the volume up and was able to hear it clearly throughout the hose. Even being behind a few walls, it still filled the house with sound. For as compact as it is, it has a great volume level without distortion. There are several buttons on the top of it. Power, Bluetooth, Shortcut, Volume Down, Play/Pause and volume up. You can pair more than one speaker together and a nice feature is that you can also pair it with a Bose soundbar. That's great if you have a "dead spot" in your room with your soundbar. The default for the "shortcut" button is speaker link to link two Bose speakers together. The only other option is Spotify. One press resumes Spotify and another lets you discover music. I wish there were more options for the shortcut button. I don't use Spotify, and I don't have any need for additional speakers, so that button is useless for me. Maybe in the future they will add more options for it. It does have Multi-point connection so that more than one device can be connected to it at once. That's perfect as my phone can be connected as well as my wife's and we can switch back and forth between them. The EQ in the Bose app has four presets. (Bass Boost, Bass Reducer, Treble Boost and Treble Reducer). You can also set Bass, Mid and Treble independently with a slider from +10 to -10. The USB-C port is not only for charging it, but it can also be used to charge your phone. They say that if the battery is fully charged it has a life of 20 hours (this is reduced significantly if you're using it at max volume). As loud as this speaker can get, I doubt many people will use it at max volume for long. Charge time is about five hours. You can hold the power button and it will tell you the battery level. If you press the Bluetooth button it will tell you which device is connected. If you connect another speaker, there are Party and Stereo modes. In Party Mode, both speakers play together. In Stereo Mode, one speaker plays the left channel and the other plays the right channel separately. This speaker is rugged. It's quite heavy and has a rope loop for carrying it or attaching it to something. They claim that it can take a fall and is dust and waterproof as well as shock resistant (IP67 rated). Overall, it's a great speaker that can stand up to the elements and go where you go. I definitely recommend it.
