Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my daughter. She reports that she is very happy with this item and it works well for her in all capacities.

Sounds like a mini club in my hand I use it when I travel.

Works great. Perfect to fit in bag for travel. Easy to use. Good sound quality.

Holds a charge for long time and does well when you pair it with another

After reading many positive reviews on this speaker and noting that two can be connected for stereo, I went to my local Best Buy and bought a pair of them. I Installed the Bose Connect app on my ipod and gave both speakers a full charge. The app was very easy to use to set up the speakers. I also liked the five battery charge and status lights on the tops of the speakers. Next it was time to see what they sounded like. Being that I am somewhat of an audiophile, I wasn't expecting too much, but I was very surprised at the full and rich sound that issued forth from the first speaker. The highs were all there; very detailed and realistic. The all-important midrange showed the true characteristics of instruments and vocals with very low coloration levels. Then there is the bass - Wow! And It is in nice balance with the highs and mids, and remains so even at very low volume levels. Now for the reason I purchased two of these; Using the app, I set up the second speaker which starts up in Party Mode (which is really double monophonic mode). Then I moved the mode switch in the app to Stereo Mode, and the sound suddenly opened up and became very three-dimensional with a wide sound stage and great depth! To say I am fully satisfied is big under-statement. Other pluses are the fact that they are rugged and waterproof. I also like the low-volume voice prompts. Most other Bluetooth speakers prompt you at full volume which can be distracting in a quiet setting such as an office. Of course nothing is perfect and here are some suggestions for Bose for a second generation model; How about designing a small flat area on the bottom so the speaker can sit upright on a flat surface or at a small back angle. A case or bag would also be a welcome addition as these speakers are meant for travel or camping. So, go out and buy one and you won't be disappointed. But better yet, buy two and use them in Stereo Mode for the best sound.

This speaker is great I only wish it had a stand. I can only lay it down because it doesn’t stand without falling.

Nice sturdy product. Great sound quality something u always expect from bose

It sounds good for the price. Not amazing, but good.

Great sound from Bose. Need to try it on a kayak trip.

Loud sound from a small package. I use this a speaker phone in my home office.

Works well for my application and provides controllable sound levels.

It plays great but I have the sound link 2 wish this speaker had more.

This works really well. I personally wish it had more of a base sound. I am disappointed about that. Otherwise it’s very nice and convenient.

This was a birthday present for my husband. I had already purchased another brand and gave him the choice of which to keep. He immediately choose this one and is extremely pleased with the choice.

speaker does the job but not as big a sound as I thought. Ok for simple but not what I expected.

I used it for outdoor party and it is waterproof..

A great speaker for its price! Bose doesnt disappoint!

Great sound not so great battery life!!what more you want?

THE SPEAKER HAS THE SAME VOLUME AS SOME SPEAKERS THAT ARE MORE THAN TWICE IT'S SIZE, BUT I WAS EXPECTING IT TO BE A BIT LOUDER. HOWEVER, THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT, SO I THINK IT'S A KEEPER. I WILL LOOK INTO SOMETHING LARGER WITH MORE BOOST NEXT TIME.

This does not have the same sound quality of Bose items that I own. Ok for a small speaker
