Good sound, junk battery
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had it with portable bluetooth speakers. I haven't found any that last longer than maybe an hour or two, and this one is no exception. On the plus side it sounds good.

Just OK
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were pairing it with an Echo Dot(3rd Gen). I expected easier setup. Once I got it setup and understood how it worked, things were OK. I am greatly disappointed in the quality of the sound. That was why I went with Bose

Posted .Thank you for your review of the SoundLink Color Series II portable Bluetooth speaker, Kennym. We're sorry to hear that the setup with an Amazon Echo Dot was not ideal and the audio quality has not met your expectations. There are a few troubleshooting tips that we can provide to help you enjoy the speaker even more. First, we suggest updating the firmware of the speaker using a computer and our online updater - https://bose.life/2LYNuy8. Also, The EQ settings of your Bluetooth device can affect the sound. On the device, please try setting the EQ to "off" or "flat" and disabling any other sound playback adjustments (i.e., loudness, compression, reverb, etc.). These settings are commonly found in the device's audio settings or in the settings of the app being used to play audio. If additional assistance is needed, our Bose technical support team is always happy to help - https://bose.life/2xseVx1. We thank you again for your review. Have a wonderful day!

Not a Bose speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For it to be my first Bose speaker I was very disappointed. It wasn’t loud and it kept the sound as if it was in a box.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Thank you for reaching out. It is surprising you did not find the speaker loud enough. I am certain that adjusting your phone tablet or computers volume levels to 100% whilst using the speaker volume controls to turn it up further, will show you what the speaker can really do! https://bose.life/3IGct9h

Bose Bluetooth Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not the power and volume I expected. Instead of blue tooth connecting to Apple TV when turning on, it has to be done manually. Not what I expected from Bose product

Awesome Big Little Speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't think I could be wowed this much by a speaker... I was wrong. For a Bluetooth speaker, I wasn't expecting much, as I have had some decent experience with them in the past, but this little speaker sounds much bigger than it looks. I am amazed by how loud it gets, the battery life is extremely long, and it doesn't drop out by moving my phone 20 feet away. When I turn it on, it tells me what devices are connected to it (I've only connected two up to now). Knowing it is Bose, I had an idea I might get a little better quality sound from what I've been used to, but I still can't get over how surprised I was. I'll definitely be recommending this speaker to my friends and family!
I would recommend this to a friend Doudgy

… Sounds great… But not user-friendly… A real pain
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t recommend this product… The sound is great but it’s got six buttons that control the speaker on top… They don’t work well and there is no directions on what each one of them does… Can’t tell if it’s charged or not… Very inconvenient I’m taking mine back… Sounds great… But not user-friendly… A real pain to use

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was disappointed by the sound. I felt being that it is Bose I would be blown away with sound quality but I was wrong. For the price it was not worth it. Had to return it for something else
No, I would not recommend this to a friendToo complicated
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received this as a gift. When I tried to pair it with my Alexa, it wouldn't work. I spent two or three hours trying to get it paired, and it just wouldn't work.

Posted .Thanks for reviewing our Soundlink Color II.
This system can be paired via Bluetooth to an Alexa system, and the audio from the Alexa system would instead play through the Bose speaker.
In this instance, we would implore that you reach out to tech support in your region to try and assist you to get this running to your preference!
Have a nice day!

Best portable speaker
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love this blue tooth speaker! I’ve had it for years and it’s still my favorite. The sound quality and battery life is amazing. On top of that it’s splashproof which I love.
I would recommend this to a friend Sound quality has changed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It seems like the sound quality isn't as good as the previous speaker I had which was the same model but bought about 5 years ago.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Hello, the Soundlink Color II has Bluetooth 4.2 and uses two 40 mm dual opposing passive radiators to help pump out sound, while keeping vibrations to a minimum. We always aim for the highest quality products, so it is unusual to hear that you feel the sound quality is not as good.
You can find guidance to ensure the best sound here https://bose.life/3Oyj9Fm

Not the Best Bose
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality not very good to be Bose had to return this because of the static in it and when pairing it with The Bose 500 speaker it made that speaker sound weird..
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose
Posted .Hi Nikki,
I'm sorry to hear you experienced unusual static when pairing it with a 500 speaker. It's possible the pairing was corrupt so to remedy this in future, I recommend unpairing it, then establish a new connection. You can also check if the speaker is working correctly by pairing with other smartphones, tablets or other Bluetooth media devices.
Kind regards,

bluetooth connection is dropping every 5 minutes
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.just got soundlink bluetooth speaker II. The sound is good, but the bluetooth connection is dropping every five minutes. I googled the issue and seems to be a common problem with response from the company that we should try to update the firmware. The unit is new so I don't see how an update would fix anything. Very disappointing
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose
Posted .Hey there,
I'm sorry to hear of the issues you are experiencing with the Bluetooth connection. I would love to help!
When the speakers are sold, they may not have the most recent firmware version. This is because, between manufacture and purchase, a new update may have been released. Therefore, we would recommend updating. This will help with your issue.
Thanks!

Posted .Hi Missme3030,
Thanks for purchasing and taking the time to review your most recent purchase. We are very sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your SoundLink Color due to the performance of the speaker and we would love to recommend some troubleshooting to help you resolve this.
Firstly we would recommend that you ensure that the speaker is running the latest software via connecting the speaker to a PC and visiting Btu.bose.com as well as performing a reset on the speaker by powering the speaker on and pressing and holding the Power button for 10 seconds until the Bluetooth LED blinks blue.
If the issue still persists after using the steps listed above then please do reach out to our customer support team via https://bose.life/2Wg5gVg and visiting your regional Bose website, then scrolling down to Contact Us and the team will be on hand to assist you with this.
Kind Regards,
