The built-in Alexa, appealing design, lightweight nature, and water resistance are also well-received. Some customers find the speaker a little pricey, and a few have experienced issues with charging and powering on.

    Bose put out another great product. The sound is really good bud the surprise is how well it reproduces lower frequencies!

    The sound is wonderful. My friends are in awe when they realize were the sound was coming from during my son’s birthday party in my backyard with numerous kids making noise but music was still good.

    The sound quality is amazing, the only downside for me is that the voice service doesn't work with apple music.

    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.

    As with most of Bose products, the sound quality is very good. However, the app to control this speaker is marginal and the speaker often fails to properly respond to the app commands.

    Great looks. Ability to move it anywhere. Might not be the best sound quality but perfectly acceptable. Better sound than the Soundlink Revolve. Medium to high price point.

    I have enjoyed Bose products for years. Used it in my garage, on the patio and bedroom. This is a great sounding portable speaker with bluetooth. It connected easily to my Sony turntable. Highly recommend it.
