Customer Ratings & Reviews

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'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.

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.

Normally, I'm not a huge fan of orange, but this speaker looks really good. It's easy to use, and syncs quickly. The sound quality is where it really shines, though. For such a small speaker, the quality is fantastic and it can definitely get loud enough. I use it in the bathroom while I shower, as well!

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

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

I love my booooom box, have a nice weigh but good battery

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.

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...

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.

You get the Bose quality at such a great price that you cannot pass it up. This speaker connects seamlessly to multiple devices and provides long lasting great sound with plenty of volume for most get togethers. I use mine daily from the shower, to the office, on the golf course, and around the house. The Flexible yet sturdy band on the back allows you to affix the speaker to almost anything which is super convenient. I am so pleased that I actually bought another one for my son. I would highly recommend this product.

This has huge bass, especially for a Bose product. I was totally blown away when I turned this little bad boy up. I love that it is waterproof and it definitely feels rugged. I will not be hesitant to take this biking or out in the woods and I am already turning this on when I wake up in the morning and just bringing into the shower so I don't have to stop listening to my audiobook or music. This speaker is the ultimate multi-functioning sound machine. It's small enough to take anywhere and produces better and bigger sound than much larger and more expensive speakers. Bose really put a lot of thought into this one and produced another winner!

This speaker was such a good purchase! Easy to use, sounds amazing and great for travel. The charge lasts with continuous play and does not drain down quickly like others I've had. I would recommend purchasing this is you are in the market.

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.

Love this portable speaker, great sound quality, light weight, compact, holds a long charge, great value

Awesome product ; quality construction; sound, portability ; efficient link to multiple devices ; long battery life; all these at cheap price vs competition with other manufacturers products.

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.

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.
