Bose SoundLink Color II Review
The Bose SoundLink Color II has an on-the-nose address for this need with “Party Mode,” but is it good enough to make your gathering the talk of the town? Editor’s note: this Bose SoundLink Color II review was updated on November 17, 2020, to add deals. Users can alternate between source devices, access virtual assistants, and control playback functions from the six-button panel. If you don’t feel like doing the Bluetooth pairing song and dance, you can always connect via the 3.5mm headphone jack located at the speaker’s base.
You can pair two devices to the speaker at a time, which is great if you want to keep an ear on incoming calls while streaming music. Bose tries to sneak around this shortcoming with the SoundLink Color II’s passive radiators, which is clever, but results in unclear audio when the volume exceeds 60% or so.
Despite how the inaccurate bass response affects the midrange notes, Halsey’s vocal fry is audible during her parts. The SoundLink Color II does a great job of reproducing audio across the spectrum, save for sub-bass notes.
Although this isn’t extremely accurate, it tricks our brain into thinking we’re perceiving all auditory detail: most harmonic resonances fall within the treble range. The ability to sync-up two speakers is great for small to medium gatherings and it gives hosts flexibility when it comes to sound placement. This little speaker has great functionality; plus, being able to update the firmware via the app, gives me hope that connection issues will be resolved. That’s right, this makes it easy to hear music during a pool party, or retrieve the speaker if it was accidentally dropped.
Another great option is the Bose SoundLink Micro: this speaker is about as compact as the Wonderboom series, but takes on a squared off design. Rather than a loop at the top of the speaker, the SoundLink Micro has a strong elastic strap that fits over bike handlebars or a shower bar.
Customer Reviews: Bose SoundLink Color Portable Bluetooth Speaker II Soft Black 752195-0100
– 1x Soundlink Color Bluetooth Speaker II Aquatic Blue 5V – 1x USB to Micro USB Cable – 1x Instruction Manual – 1x Important Safety Information Manual – 1x Bose Support Contact Number(s) sheet Testing/Setup/Impressions: So the packaging itself is nothing to gloat about. When opening the plastic cover, you’ll notice the build quality of this little guy. But… You may end up getting a lot of dust, lint, or random stuff on it; pretty easily I must say. Setup was a breeze and I was able to download the app off the store (depending on if you’re using an Apple or Android device).
The voice is clear when listening to music, the base has a great “oomph”, and the unit can go quite high in volume to bother your downstairs neighbor. The device is small, but it’s raw power as I’ve posted on the title of my review.
But, IPX4-Rated is supposed to mean that you can basically do things like take it into the shower (bathroom) and the steam and water splash here and there won’t damage it. So my wife has the Bose SoundLink Mini II Bluetooth Speaker at work, well her co-worker does.
The battery on the Bose SoundLink Mini II Bluetooth Speaker supposedly lasts Monday-Friday with 3-4 hours of listening per day.
Its great to carry around to family picnics, pool parties, hang outs, etc. Personally for me when buying ANY electronic device, I love to know what the technical specifications are. The material is really nice as I HATE FINGERPRINTS but it does attract dust and lint which I also don’t like.
Bose SoundLink Revolve Review
Nadelen De speaker speelt geen muziek af van een usb stick. Ik denk dat dit een van de beste draagbare Bluetooth-luidsprekers ooit is. De luidspreker kan 360 graden geluid leveren om een consistente en gelijkmatige dekking te bereiken. Bose SoundLink Revolve heeft een heel mooi en eenvoudig ontwerp. De speaker speelt geen muziek af van een usb stick. Ik ontdekte dat de Bose SoundLink Revolve verrassend luid en helder geluid produceert.
Dit keer zorgde Bose er ook voor dat de bas niet te hoog zou worden.Het geluid is niet perfect, ik hoop dat het geluid helderder zal zijn. Daarnaast is er een 3,5 mm ingang voor andere aansluitingen met dit apparaat. U kunt op de aan / uit-knop drukken en er zal een stem zijn die u het batterijniveau vertelt. De Bose SoundLink Revolve heeft ook een party mode, waarmee je meerdere draaiende speakers tegelijk kunt bespelen.
Daarnaast zijn er twee radiatoren binnenin die lage frequenties kunnen versterken. De twee koellichamen zijn tegenover elkaar geplaatst om trillingen te elimineren.
Ik vind de Bose SoundLink Revolve een in het oog springende speaker die in elke kamer in huis gebruikt kan worden. De Bose SoundLink Revolve is gemakkelijk te dragen aan het handvat. De Bose SoundLink Revolve is erg compact en kan met je meegenomen worden.

Bose SoundLink Revolve review
The Bose SoundLink Revolve aims to solve the main problem with most wireless speakers: despite their convenience, they’re usually directional, sounding their best in one specific spot. The Bose SoundLink Revolve continues the company’s history of excellent build quality and sound and crams it all into a cylindrical speaker you can take with you on the go.
One negative point we’ll mention straight away is that the IPX4 rating on the SoundLink Revolve means the speaker will survive splashes but probably not a dip in the pool or a trip to the beach. The Revolve takes the design of its predecessor the SoundLink Mini II and stretches it into a cylindrical shape that slightly resembles the Dalek robots from Dr. Who.
The Bose SoundLink Revolve feels extremely well made, and should put up with being tossed in a bag with keys and knick knacks (for example). On top of the Revolve speaker you’ll find buttons for controlling every feature of the unit, including volume, playback, Bluetooth 4.0, aux and power.
The SoundLink revolve works great as a speakerphone for taking calls – something lacking on one of this speaker’s well-regarded contemporaries, the UE Wonderboom. It’s disappointing that Bose didn’t throw in the $30 (£19.95) charging dock for free like it does with the slightly cheaper SoundLink Mini II, which costs $180 (£170, AU$300). On the inside the Revolve features a dual passive radiator setup running up the sides of the speaker to fill out the lower end of the audio spectrum.
Mids and trebles are handled by a downward facing transducer, which uses a deflector plate to distribute sound equally in all directions. Compared to the aging SoundLink Mini II, the SoundLink Revolve sounds almost as good but can’t match the expansive soundstage and instrumental separation of the Mini II – though, admittedly both speakers sound very good and you’ll be hard pressed to notice the difference unless you listen to them side by side. Both the Color II and Revolve are IPX4 rated, which means they’ll survive splashes but you won’t want to dunk either speaker in the pool.
If bass is your game, the JBL Charge 3 is an excellent fully waterproof speaker that sounds great, but is big and heavy along with it.
Best Bose speakers 2021: portable, multi-room, wireless
Bose has managed to extract huge performance from its cylindrical design, which pumps out 360-degree sound in an effort to eliminate sweet spots.

Bose has done a decent job of simplifying its user interface, so grouping this speaker with others in the SoundTouch collection is a cinch.

Bass is punchy and Bose’s ‘Waveguide’ technology does a great job optimising the performance of the drivers, creating a big, room-filling sound. It’s designed to be used as part of a Bose multi-room system, so pairing is simple and intuitive, and there’s plenty of streaming support including Spotify Connect and Amazon Music.
Compared to a Sonos system, you might find Bose’s control app a bit fiddly but this is a well-equipped and accomplished wireless speaker.

There are better standalone Bluetooth speakers, but if you have your heart set on a Bose multi-room system, the SoundTouch 20 represents good value for money.

Bose SoundLink Flex review: Best mini Bluetooth speaker you can buy right now
For its size, the Flex packs surprisingly bold sound, is fully waterproof and should be near the top of your list if you’re looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker. Available in three color options — black, white smoke and stone blue — the Flex is IP67 dust- and waterproof.
It also floats, an important feature if you’re in the habit of dropping your Bluetooth speakers in your pool or another body of water.
That silicone finish is indeed soft to the touch, but I’ll note that it does attract a bit of dust and lint that shows more on the black version.
There are buttons on top for controlling playback, which is always good to have, although most people will just use their phone as a remote to play music. Bose’s SoundLink Micro, released in late 2017 and due for an upgrade, also delivers impressive sound for its tiny size.
The Flex does look and feel like it’s in the same family but is basically twice as big, weighing 1.3 pounds or 0.59 kg — and it sounds significantly better than the Micro, with better battery life. And given that limited benefit of upgrading to 5.1, the company made the decision to use a chip it had previously used in the SoundLink Micro that had been “thoroughly field-tested and updated over time for interoperability and reliability.” The speaker is designed to be propped up horizontally, laid down flat or hung vertically by its integrated loop. It’s pretty good at picking up your voice and puts out a lot more sound than your phone’s tiny speakers. Also, it avoids distorting at higher volumes and delivers good clarity in the treble and midrange, with overall well-balanced sound that’s only slightly bass forward. The soundstage only gets so wide and it can sound a little constrained with more complicated music tracks that have a lot of instruments playing at the same time.
Its bass is bigger but arguably boomier and more forward so the mids, where vocals live, can sound a little recessed. I’ll finish by saying that pricing for Bluetooth speakers has been a little weird these days, with all the supply chain issues and chip shortages.
So even though $150 might sound like a lot to some people, it’s a decent price for a top Bluetooth speaker these days and quite reasonable for Bose. As I said at the beginning, if you’re looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker, the Bose SoundLink Flex should definitely be on your radar if not at the top of your list.
