Customer Ratings & Reviews

This speaker can go anywhere; the sound for such a small size is unbelievable:made out of durable silicone; its waterproof, not water resistant; I put it in the bathroom which gets moist; works great; pair it to my cell phone to make & receive calls on speakerphone; up to 6 hours per charge; buy two for stereo; makes great gift for kids rooms. Highly recommend! You’ll love it

We have the larger Soundlink Mini II and wanted something to take to the beach that was small and durable and it also needed to sound good which this does. It’s amazing the sound that comes out of it and the battery last a long time. I have not found a better small/portable speaker and may buy some as gifts to give out - that’s how much I like it.

The sound quality on this speaker is phenomenal for its size. It can connect to two devices at a time and you can easily switch between them. It will automatically disconnect when it hasn’t been used for awhile to conserve battery power but it’s easy to reconnect. You can turn off the voice prompts that say “connected to —-iPhone “ in the app. Then you just hear a subtle click when you’re connected. I highly recommend this speaker. I’ve wanted a Bose for years and this is affordable. What a difference! I even bought one for a friend and dance partner, so we have great sound wherever we go.

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.

I have Echo Dots in the house and wanted something similar for outdoors. This is about the same size and the music quality is a bit better so it works fine for that. The battery life, sound quality and volume is what I would expect for a speaker at this price range. The unexpected use is listening to the music on the iPhone when I'm using my pickup that only has a CD player. I'm not just stuck listening to the radio or carrying CDs around! My only concern is that the strap looks a bit fragile but I haven't tried using it so maybe it will be fine.

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)... :-)

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 is my second Bose speaker of this same model. It's not cheap, but the sound, battery life, and the fact that it's waterproof and the materials are of very good quality make up for it. So, I recommend it.

Well is a very clear sound and small you can fit it in your pocket battery last longer I used one two days in a row for like 6 hours a day and still playing to the next day, and the best thing is water proof so dont worry if you drop it in the sink or pool

Love the color. The sound is impeccable. Everything about the design of this is fantastic and worth every penny. Battery life is great.

Surprisingly good sound for a reasonablly priced compact sized, lightweight, waterproof speaker. Perfect for traveling, in the shower, or at the beach. Also great to be able to pair two speakers together for a stereo effect. Super easy to set-up and use.

This portable speaker is great for outdoor use. It will take on the rugged terrain or minor drops you give it. The sound is crisper than all other Best Buy choices in its size. If you are looking for more bass then I would not recommend this product. But it does live up to the Bose name when it comes to quality of sound. Definitely is waterproof (kayak tested) and easy to connect to any bluetooth. Only negative comment about this is the built in strap it comes with when attaching it to something. I would not see myself attaching this speaker to a handle bar or bag by the strap alone....not very secure once rubber strap is streched to connecting locking hole port. The speaker can be unattached with easy if brushed on a tree limp and hard bump on the road....which making it an expensive mistake if detached to wherever it was strapped down to...

Small and easy to take everywhere. Waterproof is a plus. Sound is great and connects easy to your phone. Also has a strap to attack it to your backpack when you go on a hike.

Bose really delivers, just like the reviews say. It is a mighty fine little speaker with excellent sound quality and volume in a handy shape you can slip in a jacket pocket. Perfect for traveling, bedroom, home office, etc. And waterproof! Great gift item.

I love this device. Sounds good and long battery. Very portable with the strap that is very strong.

Super portable and remains clear at high volume. This thing fills space well and while of course you can't expect a lot of low end, the amount you'll hear when you're not on top of it is impressive. Love that you can pair for stereo or multi-cast in party mode - very cool and straightforward. Like any Bose Bluetooth speaker (we have 4 different kinds), make sure you read the manual on how to complete a factory reset.

Purchased as a gift for my middle-school son who wanted something portable with better sound quality than a loud cell-phone. This definitely fits the bill, as the sound quality is excellent and what I would expect from a Bose product. Connecting to a smartphone or other Bluetooth device was quick and easy and my child was able to get the speaker up and running and listen to music without opening the manual. Although we have not tested its waterproofing feature, the black rubber shell seems thick, durable and likely to survive being dropped or banged around. The controls are minimal and self-explanatory, and the unit can be recharged with common USB cabling (which was included with the product). I am not sure how reliable the rudimentary clasping mechanism on the strap will be after some use and wear and tear but time will tell. The price seems a little high for what you get (hence the four-star rating) but I presume the "Bose" branding increases the price.

This this is amazing!!!!! I had lost this outside in flood season for 2 months. Then I found it on my uncovered patio! I seriously thought it was a goner. It worked perfectly! There were two different floods in the 2 months.
