    Amazing Quality

    Posted .

    I really love this speaker because it's very easy to carry around and it's silicone makes it easy to grip. I'm usually pretty precautious about protecting my gadgets from getting near water but I'm able to rest easier knowing it is waterproof. It stays charged for hours alone and I can listen to my music without any interruptions. Another feature that I love about it is I can connect my Siri to it to control different songs.

    Outstanding range. Solid, crisp bass. I was initially hesitant because I am not a Bose fan but this speaker is amazing and worth every penny. Great highs and clear mids. If you like bass you won't be disappointed. It is much louder than I expected. I actually smiled. Solid build, very portable. My friend "Clavinetjunkie" does a great YouTube review.

    We love it so much so that we have bought around 6-7 of these in last few years - for home use, and for gifts. Sound quality: just amazing for its size. We are a big Bose fan family - the thing we love the most about Bose is the "clarity" of sound. We like bass but we value clarity of sound more and that is where almost all of Bose speakers excel - including this one. Functional: so easy to carry. It has a strap that you can use to attach to your backpack / bike / or whatever. Waterproof feature allows us to use it in / around pool. It has a built-in mic, but we have never used that. We have multiple headsets / ear buds that we use for that purpose. We have used it in sync with other Bose speakers (likes of this, as well as other models such as SoundLink Resolve). Overall we just love this specific speaker and buy it any chance we get to gift it (hey.. get in line)... :-)

    Awesome Little Speaker with BIG Sound

    I'm not a hardcore audiophile by any stretch of the imagination but I do appreciate having music while I work and play. I picked this speaker up because it is relatively light and thought it would be a good addition to my backpacking and camping kit. Right out of the gate I took it on a 3 day backpacking trip. Having the ability to enjoy our down time listening to a great selection of music really added to the trip. The sound from this little speaker is amazing given it's size and weight. When not out and about in the outdoors I use it on the patio, by the fire pit, in my shop, and in the office during the day. Bose rates the battery life at 6 hours but in my experience it lasts much longer at moderate volume. Well worth the money.

    Best portable speaker

    I bought this speaker so I could use it on photo shoots with clients. Music really loosens them up. I was skeptic on buying the speaker but I’m so glad I did. Sounds amazing for for the size plus is water proof and has a strap on the back to lock down on a backpack or a bike. It’s so small yet produces a big sound. I didn’t think we would hear it as I’m shooting out in an open street or field but it’s loud enough to get energy in my clients and I often find them dancing. Which usually it’s the volume that’s gets the energy up from my experience at least. No distortion and lasts a long time; it’s hasn’t died on me yet. I’d say at least 5 hrs a full volume. Would definitely buy again if needed. Oh I’ve had this for about 6 months

    I use this for day hiking and it is perfect for my need. I just clip in on my daypack and loud enough for me that I don’t bother the other hikers. Its rubber body is tough and being waterproofed is just icing in the cake as I don’t anticipate using this near the water. On a low volume and after 2 hours of hiking, I still get 100% battery.

    I have used Bose speakers for 20+ years and I know they are great sounding, but I didn't expect so much bass from this little speaker. I bought it for my daughter, and now I need one. It connected easily to her phone via bluetooth, and is water proof in case she decides to play in the rain.

    This thing is absolutely indestructible. It comes on all of our adventures from kayaks to roadtrips. Unless technology changes, I'll have this until the day I die (I'm in my thirties lol). Once, I accidentally left it dragging through the water for at least 20 minutes & no water damage! 10/10

    Great sound from a not too small, not too big speaker. Links very simple to our devices. Sturdy design. Buttons are clear and easy to read. The app os easy to use when adjusting the equalizer. The handle is strong and durable.

    Doesn’t seem like this Bluetooth speaker would produce such a rich, powerful sound due to its small footprint but that’s exactly what it does!! Will fill a BIG room with immersible music that last for hours! This thing can handle any type of celebration you throw at it! It’s a Bose, what else would we expect!!!

    Incredible sound out of this speaker. Just buy it! I love good sound without the bulk of a big speaker. If you're not looking, you would have no idea that something that size could crank out that kind of sound. It's amazing!!

    Great speaker! The sound is really good. Easy to add to phone, laptop, or television! The charge last a long time. The only down would be that the speaker is really heavy. But at least it does not fall over!

    This is a excellent sounding, solid built Bluetooth speaker and well worth the money paid for it and was made better when it was 100 dollars off its usual price. Excellent bass, midrange and treble and connectivity to device is quick and easy. App helps in tailoring sound. Enjoy and turn it up loud!
