Customer Ratings & Reviews

There's a reason this is one of my favorite brands. Everything they make is premium. This Bluetooth speaker is no different and offers a great experience right out of the box. Opening the box you can instantly feel the quality of the speaker and see the thought and care put into the product. All it takes to setup is to download the Bose app and to push the power button. From the app, you can control all of the sound settings so you can boost the bass or treble depending on how you like it. Over the years, I have had at least a dozen other speakers like this and I think this is my favorite since the two Bose speakers I had about a decade ago. Back then, the speakers had the best bass and sound, and that is still true today. This speaker really stands out if you like a lot of bass. The sound quality is crisp, clear and full. The quality is premium compared to other speakers. I'm not a scientist, but I've observed that waterproof speakers typically have slightly lower quality sound because there is no open air flow from the speaker since it is completely sealed. It seems that Bose has figured out how to improve on that. The bass comes out loud and the treble is crystal clear. It's also easy to carry the speaker with the built in strap. I take the speaker out to the back yard often and even with my hands full I can grab the strap and bring it out. I'm always moving the speaker around and it's nice that I don't have to worry about it getting rained on or being damaged by spills. The speaker is very durable and repels both water and sand (if you take to the beach). Getting back to the premium sound, I was relaxing in my backyard over the weekend and had the speaker sitting on the outdoor coffee table. The volume was around 30-40% and when I put my feet up on the table the whole table was vibrating from the bass. That's not something my other speakers can do. And although I don't think I'll ever listen to it at max volume, the sound quality doesn't seem to deteriorate at high levels. After several hours of listening the battery was still almost fully charged. I'm pretty sure it will outlast my cell phone battery, which by the way, can be charged by plugging into the speaker. And finally, a note on using this in a group. You can have multiple phones connected at once, so it is a great way to share music with friends and family. Overall, I'm very pleased with this speaker and am looking forward to using it this summer.

Incredible sound quality, an overall well-rounded speaker that is easy to transport wherever you go

Bought this speaker as it seemed a good choice for traveling and outdoor use. Has met my expectations - rich sound and durable.

The sound quality is great. It is a light weight and easy to connect portable speakers which you can take wherever you want.

My 2nd one I have bought (my daughter took the 1st one). Excellent base and very loud and easy to pair

I love the sound quality out of this little speaker. I use it in my home gym and it works great!

I returned it because the sound wasn't what I expected.

Works great with my iPhone and Apple Watch. Love the sound quality and durability! Well worth every penny!!

So far so good. Was easy to link. Sounds is amazing, definitely enough volume. Not sure how battery life is yet tho.

This was a gift. My grandson absolutely loved his gift. That’s about all I can tell you I don’t know anything about the performance of it except for that he is very happy with it

I travel and camp a lot and this speaker is perfect for me. It's hard shell keeps it safe and the sound quality is Bose at its best.

Sounds great and the size makes it very easy to carry. Especially with the band that is attached

Great portable durable Bluetooth speaker for all your events

It’s perfect for anyone who loves to listen to music while during there daily life routines. Love how small it is and I how loud!!

This little guy is awesome, battery life is good, and it sounds nice and loud. Not sure if I can sync two at a time but if I can WOW.

Great quality sound from such a small speaker. Ease of connectivity. Great purchase. Works perfectly on the beach and by the pool.

Great speaker for the size. Bose packs a punch into a small speaker. Just don’t expect it to have the bass of the larger speakers

Pretty easy setup. Very portable and sturdy feeling. My one criticism/warning is that this speaker really can’t be “cranked”. It has a nice sound and works fine up to mid to mid high volume. If you’re someone who turns it all the way up, you’ll probably want a larger speaker.

Works well, easy to set up -- IF you ignore instructions that come with the device and read online how to do it. (This is for PC users only.) Solved a big problem I had when my Asus laptop speakers became almost inaudible after years of use.

It has a good sound but not easy to function. It’s good to travel with.
