    The portable speaker market is so flooded nowadays that it's hard to find a product that really stands out. And with the Bose SoundLink Plus, I'm not entirely convinced that changes...although that's not necessarily a bad thing. There are so many ways in which the SoundLink Plus delivers excellent performance: battery life as advertised, girthy bass, clear mids and highs, clarity through its highest volume, water resistance, sleek and minimal design, a tried and true app experience... the list goes on and on. The sound profile of the SLP is about standard for what you find in Bose speakers, providing a great sound stage and shining at its brightest with instrumental and a capella vocal tracks, but also brings really great punchy bass when called upon. I've become somewhat accustomed to 360-degree speakers, and while they are great, there's something reminiscent and wonderful about uni-directional speakers like the SLP. There's a sort of intentionality about setting it in a corner of a room or on a picnic table, letting the sound waves immerse the space. The SLP has an excellent minimalist design as well, allowing it to blend into the background and focus on what its great at. The matte rubberized coating, with the corded loop for carrying, make it easy to toss into a bag or the bed of a truck. The onboard controls are simple and uninteresting, with a dedicated button for connecting multiple compatible Bose speakers or connecting to a Spotify favorite (I would love to see support for Apple and Google Music as well, which could be done via software update). The buttons are super clicky and easy to press. The front metal speaker grill is equally uninteresting. The rear panel has an open USB Type-C port and a rear grill (presumably for an onboard subwoofer). I would have liked to see a rubber cover for the charging port, but the lack of cover doesn't take away its water resistance (you do, however, have to let the port dry out before plugging it back in, something that the speaker signifies by a blinking LED). This speaker also does NOT have an auxiliary port, so it's bluetooth or bust. The battery performed as advertised (approximately 20 hours on medium volume) but individual use will vary. The battery does take a painfully long time to charge from empty to full, well over four hours in my experience. And, the SLP's battery can also provide extra charge for your phone if your battery is running low (although, you may have to end the party early). The Bose app gives you access to EQ (only three bands; bass, mid and treble), bluetooth Multi-point controls, firmware updates, basic tips, and other speaker settings. It is now (and has always been) a very basic app, but capable and consistent. Look, I get it, Bose products are expensive. The SLP lacks a few features (as previously mentioned) that would make it a truly killer deal...but it doesn't take away from the fact that what it does, it does extremely well. I've never EVER used a Bose bluetooth speaker that has disappointed me, and that doesn't change here. That said, there are a ton of competitive mid-sized bluetooth speakers which compete with the SLP, even some that cost a little less with a few extra features. They likely won't sound nearly as great as the SLP does, but unless you're really picky about your audio, you may not even notice. Still, the SLP is a strong contender in the space, despite its price, and deserves a spot at the top of the list of contenders.

    Review for Bose SoundLink Plus Bluetooth Speaker The new SoundLink Plus speaker from Bose is a sweet combination of portability and performance. It’s solidly built and hefty for its size, but the 20 hour battery life and the booming base are well worth the weight. With a waterproof rating of IP67, it’s easy to take it by the pool or outdoors without worrying about problems. I like the balance of it. It sits solidly and the buttons are easy to use. The rope handle is both soft and strong and makes carrying the speaker convenient. Pairing with any Bluetooth device is fast and straightforward. Best of all is the sound. Bose audio quality shines through with rich bass and sparkling treble. The Bose app lets me adjust the equalization for the environment. If you have another Soundlink speaker you can connect the two for synched audio, called party mode or if you have a pair of Soundlink Plus speakers you can create a stereo setup. Stereo and Party mode both use the Shortcut button to link the speakers. You can also program the Shortcut button inside the app. Bose says the battery life for the speaker is 20 hours and requires five hours for a complete charge. Also included is a USB C charge out capacity, which allows me to charge a phone or portable device in order to keep the music going all day!

      Hey DamonA, we're delighted to hear that you're impressed with the overall performance of the SoundLink Plus speaker! The bass, mid, and treble, can be increased or decreased using the Bose app's tone controls. Check them out from our guide at https://bose.life/4kFBL6F for more info to enjoy even more room-filling bass at different volume levels.
