    One of the standout features of the Bose Smart Portable Speaker is its voice control capabilities. I can connect to my preferred virtual assistant, whether it's Alexa or Google Assistant, to control the speaker. I can easily change tracks, adjust the volume, and even ask for information without having to use my phone or the speaker's buttons.

    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.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
