I would recommend this to a friendA really good speaker at a good price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A really good speaker at a good price. The controls are somewhat finicky versus the previous model but overall it’s a great speaker. A lot of bass.
I would recommend this to a friendThis is NOT its predecessor!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Batter life is not so great. I have 2 of these and on a full charge battery last about 6 hours. On the first one I purchased the battery went bad after about 1 year and was no longer in warranty I had to pay $80 to send to Bose and have a repair.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat Bose sound, poor connectivity
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound that you expect from Bose. Slightly better than what you with Apple's original HomePod (Not the HomePod mini) and better than Sonos. Connectivity is not great. While it supports Airplay2, it does not always connect. I have to power off and power back on in order for it to display on the airplay network. Not sure why this is.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat speaker. Not user friendly.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned the the Bose soundlink 3 for 5 years and that speaker is wonderful. Good quality sound and only 1 button for it to instantly turn on and connect to my phone. This new speaker starts to speak to me after I turn it on, sometimes requires a few presses of the button for it to connect to my phone. Then It requires you to hold a button for it to turn off. A little too much going on here. The simplicity was much more convenient on older speakers.

Posted .Hey,
It's great to hear you're a long-time Bose fan! Sorry to hear that you personally experienced issues with the speaker. If you're playing from your phone via Bluetooth, the Portable Home Speaker features an easily accessible button on the top to activate this mode. Further support can be found in the owner's manual at https://bose.life/2xIIKtS.
