    This is my second bows of this type, This makes taking music with you anywhere in your home or outside of your house very easy and there are some speakers like this with more bass but being a musician for 55 years I’m looking for clarity I want to hear the parts real well

    Good quality of sound, the battery was expecting a little bit longer duration, but it is a great speaker

    This is the third bose speaker we've owned and it's great! The only downside is that there is no port for an aux cord if we want to use like an older ipod or something but it's not the end of the world as we still have other devices that are bluetooth capable.

    I enjoy listening to my music (or movies) on this device. The sound is clear all around. Wherever I place it, to be honest. Recently took it on our Utah hiking trip. With the wide spaces, and not many folks around, it was nice to listen to some tunes while hiking.

    This speaker was very easy to set up and the sound is AMAZING! The Amazon Alexa option is a must! It was a little pricy for a speaker but worth the money. It’s small and compact so perfect by the pool!

    The speaker works great and was easy to set up with bluetooth. Sound is great, but my only issue is it keeps loosing the Bluetooth connect now and then. I hope it's something that can be fixed by software updates!!

    I'll never use another speaker, until this one breaks, in which case I'll just buy another. The ease of use and google/Alexa functionality removes ever needing a google/Alexa as long as you have this. Bose perfects another product

    This is NOT its predecessor!

    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.

    Sound is great. We are using it with Alexa voice assistant and is doing well. One thing that is missing is compatibility with Apple Music , although we can use it thru AirPlay . This is the reason not giving 5 stars.

    I needed a speaker for my pool area. This speaker works with your phone, but doesn't require it. It's not water proof, but it's water resistance, meaning if it gets dropped in the pool, you better get it out quickly. It works with Alexa. I love this speaker!

    It has a very good base. But when the volume is up it sorta distorts the highs. That being said there's not much need to crank up the volume. Very good over all

    Another well rounded speaker from Bose. Easy to use, charge last up to 8 hrs on medium Volume. For $400.00, it's expensive, but you get what you pay for when you buy Bose

    Excellent Bose sound, gave as a gift. Now I have to get another for myself. Setup straightforward when using the Bose music app. Can be used with your music services that you already have pandora, Spotify, etc.

    I LOVE this speaker! Amazing sound quality, and the Alexa mic works great. I had an Amazon Tap prior because I wanted to access music with my voice when in my backyard. This speaker far, far, FAR, surpasses it. Well worth the money.

    The sound quality is great ! But the battery is significantly decreased if comparing to the Bose sound link Revolve. Also, It is hard to turn it off since it will automatically turn on.......... Also, the app is difficult to use
