Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is AMAZING! I can walk anywhere in my living room and the sound is exactly the same. I used it for a small gig to play some background piano music and it worked incredible well!

Bought a Bose revolve+ II a couple weeks ago and liked it so much I decided to order another one to expand the sound even more.

Great speaker, reeeaalllyyy dont like that its a micro-usb charger but what am I gonna do. Sound is great and loud, of course if you are playing full volume you dont get the full amount of hours but its okay, but this as my own birthday gift!

The speaker has good quality good sound all around Battery last

I’ve been using my trusty Bose Soundlink Mini II since 2015. I’ve always enjoyed the sound from this speaker, but lately I’ve been itching to see what else is out there. When I heard that Bose released the Soundlink Revolve+ II, I simply had to give it a shot. Here are the things I thought Bose got right with the Revolve+ II: +Sound Quality in a small package - Bose continues to deliver on precision audio quality, delivering big sounds from small devices. The 360 degree sound radiating from the speaker is nothing short of awesome. Place it next to the corner of a room, and the audio sounds more spatial, adding more dimension, and fullness. The speaker is well balanced across the audio spectrum. Bass thumps are powerful without being obtrusively overbearing. Mids are clear and prominent. Dialogue and voices have such clarity that when you’re listening to a program or podcast, it almost sounds like the person is present in the room with you. And what I enjoy most of all is the crispness and sparkle at the treble frequencies (which my mini II lacks). I think this speaker sounds so good that it can substitute as a soundbar for watching movies. I have tested the speaker with videos and the audio/video latency is minimal. So go ahead and use this speaker to watch your favorite movies. And all of this splendid audio is coming from a tapered cylinder that is only 7” tall, weighing only 2 lbs that you can easily carry in one hand with the rope handle. +Battery Life - Bose claims 17 hours of use on a fully charged battery. I don’t know how they tested the battery, but most of the time I don’t listen to music at full volume. I listen more at mid-volume. I’ve been going for over 20 hours, and there is still 30% battery left. Basically, battery life is excellent! +AUX jack - So many bluetooth speakers have eliminated the 3.5 mm aux jack. I am so glad Bose kept it for the Revolve+ II since I sometimes have the need to plug it into legacy audio equipment. +Tripod Mount - For those times when I’m outdoors doing gardening work and don’t have a stable surface to place my speaker and don’t want to place it on the grass or dirt, I can bring out my tripod and attach it to the receiving tripod mount on the bottom of the Revolve+ II. It takes the standard tripod screw mount. +Not a smart speaker - I have plenty of smart speakers in my home already. I don’t need another one listening in on all my private conversations. I’m glad this is a good ole bluetooth speaker. With that said, however, you can still use it with the voice assistant on your phone if you need it. The speaker’s microphone becomes an extension of the microphone on your phone. You’ll just need to press the multi-function button on the speaker to activate the assistant from your phone. Then you’ll be able to make or take calls, check the news and weather, play music, etc. +Speaker Phone - Audio quality is super clear using the speaker as a speaker phone. The speaker’s microphone works well, too. Callers on the other end of the line heard me clearly. While I love singing the praises of the Revolve+ II, I think Bose could have done some things better: -This speaker is still using the Micro-USB port to charge the battery. I don’t know why Bose doesn’t switch to the USB-c charge port, other than to save a few cents in using the older usb standard. -The Bose Connect app is okay, but could be better. You can control voice prompts, check the battery meter, add another speaker for party/stereo, change the name of the speaker, connect to a new bluetooth source, set an auto timer to turn off the speaker, and of course update the firmware. What this app lacks is treble/bass controls or equalizers. As much as I enjoy Bose’s signature sound, there are times when I might want to turn up or down the bass/treble to suit the specific audio I am listening to. If Bose could add this feature in a future firmware update, then this app would be super useful! -Powering off the speaker doesn’t really power it down. You would think that if you pressed the power button on the speaker to turn it off, the speaker would power down completely, right? Well, it doesn’t power it down completely. The speaker’s bluetooth antenna still draws power continuously, draining the battery. Someone at Bose thought it would be a good idea to include a feature where the speaker can be turned on directly from the Bose Connect app. So if your speaker is in the off position, you can simply turn it on from the app. I personally do not like this feature because it continues to draw power and deplete the battery. That means you could have the speaker turned off for a few weeks, and when you turn it on, you may find out that there is not much battery charge remaining. I would recommend that Bose provide a firmware update to allow the user an option to decide whether or not to have the speaker power up from the app. -IP55 - The first digit describes the resistance to intrusion from solids such as dust, while the second digit is for resistance to intrusion from liquids. The Revolve+ II can be sprayed with a low pressure water jet, but don’t submerge it in water, otherwise this expensive speaker is toast. There are a number of bluetooth speakers on the market that have a higher IP rating allowing them to be submerged in water. If being able to take your speaker to the pool party and dunk it in water is important to you, then this speaker isn’t for you. -Lower bumper quality is questionable. On my Revolve+ II, the top protective bumper appears to be made of a high quality rubber material that can take some abuse. However, the lower bumper doesn’t feel as thick as the rubber material at the top of the speaker. It appears to be hard plastic and lacks the resiliency of the top bumper. In fact, there are already a few light permanent scratches on the lower bumper of my speaker, and it hasn’t even been taken outdoors yet. Take a look at the picture I took showing the scratches. Should you buy the speaker? This speaker is expensive, but the audio quality is superb! I would recommend the speaker based on audio quality alone. Since audio is highly subjective and based on individual experiences, I would recommend that you audition the Revolve+ II with other speakers. Other than audio quality, this speaker does not compete well with other more rugged speakers from competitors that could survive being submerged in water.

Amazing sound quality and the product looks terrific anywhere! Would buy again. Connectivity is easy.

Love this Bose speaker system. I always wanted to own one and found the right Bluetooth speaker system at Best Buy while walking across the catalog of products at display!

I recently purchased the smaller version of this speaker but decided to upgrade to the biggest one. I bought two of them so I could listen to my music in stereo. They are easy to pair with my android and to create stereo sound using the app. I had also bought the very largest speaker but wasn't happy with it. It was impossible to pair with my phone and forget about getting stereo. So, I ended up buying two of these and I love them!

Bought this to use in condo clubhouse for parties. Worked great at Super Bowl party. Fantastic sound especially base. Also use in condo to play music .

Fantastic sound from such a small speaker. Wife loves it

Love Bose this bose speaker. Sound is amazing when you play music. I never regret to buy this. I will purchase if i need one again.

It has a nice sound with pretty good base but if it was not on sale wouldn’t be worth over $300

The sound is amazing..The best shopping 3 ever..Best buy is the best

First things first, I've used several different brands of Bluetooth speakers, from high end to your everyday cheap off the shelf speakers. This is the first one that I have had that checked every box of requirements. First thing that is a big deal is battery life, at almost full volume the battery will last around 15-17 hrs on a full charge, which for me is great as I primarily use this speaker at work. Secondly its physical size is perfect, fits nicely in my tool cart and pretty much everywhere else in my workspace. I also bring it home every day and it fits nicely in the saddlebags on my motorcycle. Third and probably the most important thing to me is the sound quality. I wouldn't expect anything less than the highest sound quality from a Bose product and they did not disappoint. For its compact size, the amount of sound that comes out of this speaker is amazing! I work in a very loud environment and have no problems listening to my music throughout my workday. For its small size it has a decent amount of low-end bass, very clear mid-range and highs, so you don’t lose anything in the music you listen to like you would with most other small Bluetooth speakers. Now let’s talk about durability. My workplace is dirty and dusty, things get knocked over frequently or even dropped, including speakers, drinks, etc. This thing takes a beating. I've used it outside in the rain and wind, I hang it in the shower with zero problems from getting dirty or wet. Included with the speaker is a charging block and micro USB cable. Downloading the App and setup is easy and very straight forward. The app doesn't have a lot of extra nonsense and is easy to navigate. The only thing missing in the app is an adjustable EQ to personalize the listening experience. The only negative thing I have to say about this speaker is that if you have multiple devices that connect to it, it will sometime connect to another device other than the one that is playing the music. My wife and I both use the speaker and we frequently have to ask one another to disconnect from it so there is no interference. But all in all, this has to be my all-time favorite Bluetooth speaker, I LITERALLY take it everywhere with me. Bose did a great job on this speaker.

This is one good speaker. Super satisfied with how crisp and clean this is. Always prefer bose with my speaker needs

Bass is sick and love the latern style. Need the travel case for it though. Great speaker. My 3rd Bose. Old ones still work great.

This is a good overall speaker. I had heard it at my friends place before buying. The sound is great and clear, but it is lacking a great amount of bass when it comes to using this for party purposes!
