Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Great sound, great size. Love the handle color and volume. Mids are crisp and clear, bass was great after I bumped it up in the app. Tough and great for the pool and beach

I was honestly surprised when I heard this speaker the first time around. Sure, it may just be one speaker but the passive radiators in this little guy make the bass so much boomier and punchier than you'd expect for a speaker this small. Now, don't get it twisted, this isn't gonna beat the bass of even something like a JBL Flip 5 that has a larger driver, but if you've got $100 and you need a speaker for a small room or for moving on the go, it doesn't get much better than this. The built in strap makes it perfect for attaching to bikes and other things and it holds on pretty well. It's pretty waterproof but I'd be careful around the charging port since it doesn't have a cover and is just exposed 24/7 but beyond that, it's a solid little speaker.

Great sound for the size. I connect them with another one or with a bigger bose speaker. Makes for great sound and spread for a bigger area. Especially use this at the beach. Just attach to an umbrella or anything that works. I use this riding my bike. Just put it on the handle bars. Not only great sound for the size but tue battery lasts a long time. The fact that its water proof and dust proof is amazing. I use at the beach, it gets sand on it and just knock it off. I even forgot it outside in the rain overnight once and it was perfectly fine. Stong durable speaker made for life and adventures!

I've had this for over a year and love love love it.. the sound is epic coming out of this tiny device.. one time my home theater system stopped working so I used this and couldn't tell the difference! No problems connecting to the bose app for battery intel... the battery life after a year hasn't phased at all! If I were you and thinking if getting this ..well don't hesitate its totally worth the buy.... its great for road trips, artist adventures to take with you when you want to zen out an draw and listen to music, perfect to listen to the game when out walking, even great for using while you are cooking.. you name it.. Im thinking of getting a larger one for my home theater.. but would recommend this over everything else!

Love the BOSE portable bluetooth speaker. The battery lasts a long time after it has been charged. It is light weight too and easy to move around to various locations. Great sound!

This is my first Bose purchase ever! After contemplating for 5 years on a portable speaker, I chose to go with a Bose based on my mother’s recommendation and a friend who has a Bose surround sound system for his TV. They have spoken good things about Bose. I chose this one also because it was on sale during Black Friday. When I connected my phone to this thing, I was completely shocked and amazed at the sound quality. Its pretty loud too…. in my opinion. I am someone who likes a lot of base in some of my music and for a portable speaker, this was a pleasing a sound. The base is pretty good. I do recommend. Try it when it goes on sale again if you dont want to pay full price.

I owened the first or second generation of this portable speaker. When it finally broke, I was worried about the price. I bought an open box Stargazer, which is water resistant. It is worth every dollar. The quality, sound, and easli connects to my cell makes it highky recommendable.

Great sound quality. Water and weather proof. Cool carrying strap. Loving the color.

I absolutely love this box. It’s a little heavier than I expected but it sounds great. It’s waterproof and has a long battery life.

Pleased with this purchase. I own several portable Roland sound systems with great sound, but they are heavy and take up a lot of space. This Bose Bluetooth speaker is small, lightweight, rechargeable, and sounds great. I chose to use the Bose over the July 4th weekend because it is fully capable without the bulk and weight of my other sound systems. I may buy another to have stereo. Worth the investment, would buy again.

This speaker is loud. It doesn’t have its own volume, but it has volume buttons you can use on the speaker. The bass on the speaker is amazing! It works for everything. I’m going to buy a second one so that I can sync them up and have more sound. It’s extremely durable, easy to use, light weight, and it even hangs on stuff. I’ve used it while fishing, driving, watching shows on my laptop, and working on my vehicle. They also have a great app you can use as a remote, although it’s not beneficial if you’re playing stuff off your phone. I hesitated at buying it because it’s so small, but it’s definitely worth it!

The sound quality out of this little speaker is right on par with the Bose brand name. It is small, lightweight, and very portable. There's a soft clip on the back that makes it easy to secure the speaker to my backpack or camping gear so it stays safe and out of the way. Seems like such a small thing, but I also really like the surface texture. It's smooth but not glossy (no part of this speaker feels like plastic), and the texture makes it much less likely to slip on surfaces. Overall a great buy for the price, and I'm really happy with this purchase.

This is the perfect speaker for on the go. We bring it to the beach, on the pontoon, outside during yard work, and throw it in the suitcase during travel, and never have to worry about it breaking. The case is very durable and waterproof. The sound is amazing for such a small speaker and even has decent bass. Another added perk; I also own a Bose Revolve speaker and the two can be paired for surround sound which sounds great.

I Love, Love, Love this speaker...Bose knows how to make it's products sound incredible...I bought this because I needed something light weight to use at work, this speaker is perfect...It's loud, the sound is clear, it provides me with what I need..Has a strap, I hook it on my apron...the battery life is Strong, I use it off and on all day at work between 10 & 12 hours...since I strap the speaker on my shoulder I only need the volume at half or less, that holds the battery life longer...

I bought this for my husband as an anniversary gift. He is a speaker snob and is always looking for the next best thing. He LOVES this speaker. The sound is spectacular and the volume is more than loud enough for our back patio or working in the yard.

I was torn when i was in the market for a party speaker which one i should get. The Bose SoundLink Max or the JBLPartybox 110. I listeend to both speakers in Best Buy and decided the Bose sounded a lot better. Its smaller and more portable, but still packs a punch. The battery life lasts for an extended period of time and its water and dirt proof where i feel like i can take it anywhere. Woild 100 percent recommend this speaker to anyone.

I own a total of six Bose speakers and could not be more happy with each of their products from the alarm clock to the portable speakers. Their sound quality is amazing. They last the longest have the clearest sound and they’re always being updated will always highly recommend

What a amazing speaker, great sound & well designed. really easy to connect & switch between your devices connected.

Waterproof. Great sound, great battery. Only thing I would change is making the strap a little more difficult to unhook. Great on a pack but I get nervous about the strap on my SUP. Still, definitely a happy customer here! I wear hearing aids so the crispness of this sound makes a huge difference especially at low volumes for me. The Bluetooth connectivity works great too.
