    Was really excited to get this speaker, however upon opening the box I could tell that it just felt cheap. The sound quality was terrible, I’ve purchased $50 speakers that sounded better than this. Returned it a couple days later and saved my money on something else.

    For a Bose speaker I thought it would be a lot louder. I guess when you can not go in the store because of the Wuyhan flu you get what you think will be good. It works fine but could have gotten a cheaper speaker and been as good!

      Hey Denster,

      Great to hear of your enjoyment for the sound quality. Have you tested the speaker with different devices? Many customers have fed back how much they love the 360-degree sound and volume that the Revolve produces. Be sure to increase the volume on the connected device, and the speaker itself, using the controls on the top of the speaker.

    This really can't be a Bose product. The bass was not what I expected and the volume would not work once connected to a Samsung Blue Tooth TV. I've owned many Bose products and this is the only one I was not happy with I returned it the next day.

    Works fairly okay when connected but the connection drops for no reason and often doesn’t reconnect. When one device is connected the speaker doesn’t seem to entertain other devices even when you “forget/disconnect” the initial device...

    I have been through numerous Bluetooth speakers and the Bose Revolve is definitely one of my favorites. Firstly it definitely is aesthetically pleasing, especially when compared to the likes of the Amazon Echo. The material is very sturdy and you can tell it matches the quality of previous Bose speakers. The sound quality is definitely on par as well with prior Bose speakers. The last bluetooth speaker I purchased from Bestbuy was from Altec Lansing and the sound quality does not compare in the slightest (though the Altec Lansing is built for more rough environments). The functionality of this speaker is also very basic and does not take a bunch of menus to figure out how to use. Overall I would definitely recommend this speaker as the sound quality is definitely on par with superior Bose quality and looks great in any room.

    I've had the Bose soundlink mini for three years now, and love it. It's my go-to Bluetooth speaker. The revolve takes the soundlink concept and throws it 360 degrees. No more sweet spots. The water resistance makes it a great companion for singing in the shower too. Another home run by Bose.

    Awesome sound, small box

    I've been researching bluetooth speakers for some time now and I'm investigating the idea of having an outdoor portable movie theater. As time has gone on, the competition in the segment has really increased. I heard my brother's UE Boom was impressed at how good it sounded. I ventured into the closed BB and listened to all of the options that were available. Of the ones, it was between the Bose and UE Mega Boom. I purchased the Bose Revolve due to the sound, simplicity and the my previous experience with the brand. I currently have a pair of Bluetooth QC Headphones. I also like the 1/4-20 thread on the bottom so I can mount it to a tripod. This unit sounds great in an office or the kitchen at home and bass is deep for such a small driver. I am very impressed with this unit.

    I have had several Bluetooth speakers. This one is certainly one of the nicer sounding devices but also has some really nice features. As for sound the bass is amazingly rich for something this small. The vertical round shape broadcasts music or whatever you are playing in all directions. The controls are simple and easy to use. Along with all this I love that it has a tripod mount on the bottom. I haven't used it yet but I look forward to securing it in this way at a central location for my next get together. Finally the charging dock is a nice touch. I love wireless charging for my phone and although this has actual contacts, it is just as nice to have the dock always plugged in and simply put the speaker on when you need to recharge.

    I would not buy this speaker. It does not stand up to the quality I expected from Bose. The battery died within a month and would not charge. When I looked online this is a systemic problem with the SoundLink speakers. I returned the speaker.

    We compared the Bose Revolve, EU Boom 3 and the JBL Charge 4 at home. Bose came in last. We were really surprised and disappointed in the sound. Returned.

    Right after warranty expired, of course it stops working. Bose wouldn’t lift a finger after warranty expired. Wanted me to pay $75 to ship and repair. I have a better solution, how about I just don’t buy any more of you low quality products.

    Tried Bose Revolve speakers two speakers from Best Buy and both disconnected frequently. Per Best buy service I talked to Bose service about the problem and they discovered that the speakers I received from Best Buy were over 2 years old. I bought one directly from Bose and ir works great. I returned the two that did not work back to Best Buy
