    Be aware that when you purchase this item you will not receive everything you need! I was extremely disappointed to realize that you are supposed to charge the speaker by plugging the USB cord into a USB wall outlet charger, but it wasn't included in the box!! I had to go back to Best Buy and spend another $20 bucks for a USB wall charger to charge the speaker!! Disappointing for such a name brand like Bose.

    Was looking for a speaker that could bring everything together. The sound is good but it is a pain because you have to keep charging the battery. I have only been able to get a few hours play time from it and than it has to plugged in again. Not for a long lasting speaker for Outside

      Hello Tmarra. Thank you for reviewing the SoundLink Color II. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the sound quality. A fully charged battery should be good for 8 hours of listening at normal volumes. Increasing the volume to maximum will shorten that time. Thanks for sharing your feedback. Have a great day! Best Regards, Greg - Bose Support Bose

    I was very excited to get this speaker. Bose has always had an awesome reputation but I am truly disappointed with this purchase. The description said that the speaker would play for 8 hrs and even brand new, it's only lasting 4+/-. The main reason I purchased this was because of the 8 hr duration.

    Bluetooth is not good. I use a pair with my 2019 MacBook Pro. When using as a stereo pair, the sound sometimes cuts in and out between each speaker. Almost like it's bouncing between them. Sound Quality is nothing what I would expect from Bose. These could be any run of the mill speaker from the way they sound. Very disappointed. Wish I wouldn't have thrown out the boxes.

      Hello,

      The speakers connect through Bluetooth when in stereo pairing. We would recommend checking for potential sources of interference when using the speakers in stereo pairing.

      We have some tips here https://bose.life/3qp4jbB if you're having trouble with stereo pairing.
      If you still need help then please contact us for support, you can find the contact details for us here https://bose.life/34PA8lC.
