Customers love the sound quality, portability, and long battery life of this portable smart speaker. Many appreciate the deep bass and impressive volume, along with the convenience of Bluetooth connectivity and voice assistants like Alexa. While some find the price a bit high, the overall positive feedback highlights its excellent audio performance and compact design. The speaker's water resistance is also a frequently mentioned plus.

    My first Bose was the BOSE SOUNDLINK REVOLVE+ II. Love it so much I bought second one for my father. Then purchased this model and was the worst mistake. Battery kept dying while being charged. I did purchase the protection plan but it was not fair to use. I sent for repair and took 3 weeks to comeback. It worked for like a month the. The same issue. Kept dying while charging. Total time of having speaker was for 14 months. I finally used my protection plan and my intention was to get it replaced. Well best buy gave me back the money I had payed for speaker which was $432. Store credit. I bought the BOSE SOUNDLINK REVOLVE+ II again for $229. I still had almost $200 left. Couldn’t be happier. Maybe I just had a defective speaker but that’s why it was sent for repair. Also forgot to mention I could never get the app to work with the speaker.

      I'm sorry to hear your Portable Smart Speaker wasn't able to match your excellent experiences with the SoundLink Revolve+ II, Jorge! The Portable Smart Speaker's battery is designed to supply up to 12 hours of charge during active use, or up to 24 hours if the speaker is in standby mode. Please note the speaker will turn off after 20 minutes of inactivity if it's disconnected from a Wi-Fi network and a power connection. If that's not the cause of the speaker cutting out, then I would suggest trying a reset of your speaker. The steps for this, and any further assistance, can be obtained via our support team: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

    The build of this item is well made, the only down side is that it’s not speakerphone capable, which is a feature in older models. Sad to see regression there!

      Hi Dave,

      The Portable smart speaker, while looking a little similar to the SoundLink Revolve which you're likely referring to is not part of the same family. None of the speakers in the smart speaker family lineup features speakerphone options found in our portable "SoundLink" lineup as they fulfill a different purpose. If you're interested in that feature, I can certainly recommend trying something like the SoundLink Revolve Plus II which is the current generation product.
