One of the BEST bluetooth speakers money can buy!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I own a lot of JBL & Sony speakers and i will say… the Bose is SUPERIOR. This little speaker sounds so much bigger than it is. It’s truly impressive and worth EVERY penny. This has now become my favorite speaker and i plan to use it everywhere. If you are in between a JBL/SONY or anything else for this price point, do yourself a favor and get the BOSE! I pronise you wont regret it.

Great little tough speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Super awesome sound. I use it when I go kayak fishing and it’s great. At one point it ended up in the salt water and it still worked like nothing. Great bang for the buck! Highly recommended.

You Won’t Regret It
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This speaker is pretty amazing. It has great sound and power. The base is better than I had expected. I take it with me everywhere. The battery life isn’t as good as I would like, however it’s a small thing in comparison to the amazing Bluetooth speaker it is.

Good upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.I bought this to replace a JBL Flip5 that was replacing an old Soundlink Mini ii. The JBL sound quality never matched the Bose and I’m happy to have clear sound and full bodied bass tones.
