    I have the revolve first generation that is more than 12 years old and has had zero issues. The battery still on high volume is 4 to 5 hours even after all this time. This new product is NOT the same, it has had consistent issues with incredibly short battery time even when "fully turned off". Audio books at 3/4 volume kill the battery in less than 5 hours and music of any type at mid to low volumes kill the battery in less than 3. It is constantly listening regardless of status, it gets stuck in boot loops for sometimes 15 mins, there is no hard reset, zero app support and I have never ever gotten the app to work properly on my android. I will be returning as it just killed a 100% charge battery in less than 2 hours with an audio book. I gave this a year to sort itself out or just deal with it being a typically high priced piece of garbage and I have had it with dieing in the middle of listening with no warning.

    The mid range and base is clean and accurate. Highs are less well defined, but still good. The Amazon and Google integration is well done and very useful. Prime and Audible members are especially well served by the Amazon integration, allowing access directly through the WiFi interface instead of needing a smart device as interface.

    Had the Soundlink speaker for years. My parents ended up wanting it. Give me a reason to shop for a new toy? Say less! I listened to this in store before purchasing it. Amazing! Totally worth the money!

    Bose delivers on sound quality. This one needs an open room to really shine. A small room will detract from the booming sound and distorts the clarity.

    Very good speaker! It has the famous Bose sound, though maybe not quite as good as the legendary SLIII. Convenient carry handle makes it perfect for beach or pool and you can talk to it using the Alexa function. I compared the Sonos One in the store and could tell immediately that the Bose was the better quality sound.

    Although I am pleased with this Bose bluetooth Home speaker, I, who love a VERY DEEP Base sound will be looking for a subwoofer to add to the rich sound that I am familiar with from my theater setup. Most people who do not have a sensitive ear for music, will be very happy with the sound.

    Nice easy to use portable speaker. Has a very nice sound but can definitely get better sound and base for a lot cheaper with other brands now days. But I got this as it hooks up to my home audio so can have the same music inside and out so I definitely love that!
