Be aware that this is an extremely biased review as I have become a fanatical BOSE supporter as a result of a variety of past purchases and delightful listening experiences. I bought this Soundlink Revolve+ speaker to use mainly with my iPad and have fallen completely in love with it. It is not only beautiful to behold, it is sensual to the touch and is totally blissful to experience the sounds it produces. It is a real pint-sized wonder. The set-up and pairing was so easy. So simple. It comes with a straightforward quick-start guide which meets most demands when used with the brilliant BOSE connect App. A more detailed, multi-language manual can be downloaded from the BOSE site if so required. The speaker is so light it can be easily carried about by a child, yet it is designed to take most bumps should they drop it. It will operate within about 30 feet of the sound source and it is even designed to fit onto most tripods you may care to use if you have no other practical work surface to place it on. Brilliant in the home, it will operate outside and even survive the odd rain shower. It is well worth every penny you pay on Amazon. I went further and treated myself to the optional charging cradle. This lets you play your music even while the unit is charging. It has the additional advantage that the charging cable is connected direct to the cradle. Should accidental damage happen when you connect the cable to the cradle, it is much cheaper to replace the cradle than the speaker! You can pair with up to 5 other sound sources and, if you should need more sound, with an additional Soundlink unit. Wow! If you have not experienced BOSE sound before, and are searching for an excellent sound system, I would strongly advise you to visit your nearest stockist and check this one out. But, be warned, you may just become a BOSE fanatic like me!

After reading some of the most critical reviews, I was seriously considering not buying the Bose Soundlink Plus. It's not a cheap speaker, so I didn't want to waste my money. (I already have Bose Quiet Comfort headphones and a Bose sound bar 300, which I'm very happy with, so was worried about the negative reviews about the Soundlink Plus).
However, having visited a retail outlet first, I tested a number of Bluetooth portable speakers with my iPhone 11. There is no doubt in my mind that it's worth the extra money, (if you can afford it) above the regular Soundlink revolve (which is still pretty good for the price). I bought from Amazon and I've owned the unit since October 2020 and it performs beautifully with excellent, deep sound and a really good, crisp middle range, great connectivity and pairs well with another Soundlink Plus speaker. The Bose App isn't sophisticated, true, but it works perfectly for me with pairing. I can't comment about Alexa etc, as I don't use those services. I don't get any of the problems I've read about in the negative review section, so I can only assume those people have purchased faulty units. The only "fault" I might agree with, is the length of the battery usage. However, I seldom (need to) play my music at maximum volume and I've never had the need to use the battery feature for extended periods of time. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble some people have experienced. After testing, I bought from Amazon knowing that they would take it back if I wasn't happy. I use iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, Samsung phone, Aser and HP laptops - all of which connect perfectly. I hope this helps.

Bose knock it out of the park - again

First up I have to say i'm a BIG fan of Bose, Quiet Comfort headphones, Companion 5 Computer speakers I already own and ever since I bought my partner the older Soundlink bluetooth speaker - the one that's the size of a small book and has amazing sound I've been hankering for something similar.
I had this bought for me by my partner and within a few hours of using it I was trawling Amazon looking to buy another one to link them up in stereo mode.

So never mind all that guff I hear you thinking, what do they sound like, well being Bose the sound is deep and powerful but extremely crisp at the top end, they give a very natural sound, the bass is solid but never boomy or overpowering, there is plenty of it but it's tight rather than wooly - just how bass should be.

If I have a gripe - and I usually do, they can be a bit of a faff in use, as with most thing these days they have their own app and if you use party mode you have to connect to both of them via your smart device (iPad Pro for me) then go to party mode and pair them, great, well no becuase then they are both linked to one device and any other bluetooth connection is dropped which is fine if all your music streams through your smart device, I don't though and a lot of the time I want to use these with an echo dot and if you want to do that you have to connect one to your dot, disconnect your smart device then pair them manually. If doing that was a one button push it'd be fine but it's not, push the bluetooth and + buttons one on till it talks to you, then press bluetooth and - on the other one till it says party mode, then if you want stereo mode you press blueetooth and + again till it says stereo mode, like I said it's a bit (a lot actually) of a faff and could be a lot easier to achieve.

Overall though once you've gone through all that, the quality of sound will make that annoyance disappear very quickly, they are excellent sound wise but a tad awkward in some situations although it'd be pretty mean spirited to knock a star off or critcise them too heavily for that, for normal single speaker use they are straight forward, it's party/stereo mode that falls over a little.

An amazing piece of kit, well worth the money.

Got this for Christmas a few years ago and it's been well used since. As a family we generally have a "good ear" and the sound from this little drum is A MAZE ING! We use it for large family parties with 60+ guests in a large space inside and out, and this belts out everything from rock to classics. No distortion at the higher volumes and fills the space with great sound beautifully. Equally happy in an ordinary room. Easy to charge and sits nicely on its base which all fit well in to the carry case. The charge lasts well too,still does an 8 hour play session at a party. researched a dozen or so other models on the market at the time and in the end decided to go with quality. It was a lot of money but has proved to be a well worth it, a very good decision. Highly recommended.

Impressive sound for a speaker so small.

I was lucky to be able to buy this Revolve+ the week before Black Friday (Amazon Prime) - with a whopping £90 discount. Result.
I deliberately waited a few weeks to write this review and I’m glad I did - fair’s fair.
Set-up was idiot-proof and smooth but I was disappointed with the bass initially: After bedding the speaker in and adjusting the equaliser within Apple Music and Spotify, the sound quality is excellent. I truly believe this speaker needs to be "broken in" for the sound to improve - bear that in mind. I am used to deep bass from the SoundLink Mini II and other bigger Bose systems I have - plus QC35 headphones. The sound is crystal-clear and the bass is great once you get used to it.
I love the look of the speaker and how easy it is to pick up and take around the house. I’m listening to music on it as I write this and it’s sounding impressive.
The battery life is nearly as good as Bose claims but then I play music quite loud.
I bought it primarily to take travelling, which will be easy as I bought a hard shell case which fits the speaker perfectly.
If you’re looking for a loud, clear portable speaker with excellent sound quality, look no further.

Worth the money

I opted for this portable sound device after reading reviews and just doing a bit of comparison with competitors. I am sure there are better ones out there but for me, this device is amazing.
I was firstly surprised that the sound coming out of the 360 degree speaker actually was clear with no dip in volume (no gaps).
Secondly, the volume on this device is amazing. Managed to drown out my children in the living room by turning up this bad boy max level.
Solid playing music from 10am to midnight, there is about 30% battery life left.
Not sure if there is an app for this but I don't need it. I turn the volume to its highest on the device and control the actual music volume from my phone.
Very pleased with this device. If I was to nit-pick : two things, there are some tracks where you notice the speaker cannot handle at high volumes. But those tracks are rare in my experience.
And lastly, the top of the device, though looks lovely, it gets dirty very easily (but nothing a wet wipe cannot fix).

This portable speaker was almost good enough.

I got it to replace my Bose soundlink mini 2 which had ran its course.

It looks great, the handle (which I was initially dubious about) is actually a great edition. It's perfectly portable and the battery life is decent

It's durable with great water and dust resistant ratings

The 360 degree soundstage is excellent, there's literally no dead spots all the way around.

This speaker gets loud, very loud. Louder than you'd realistically ever need with no hint of sound distortuon

The sound itself is crisp, with well defined mids and all genres of music sound pretty good out of the revolve

Where it let me down is the bass. It just didn't pack enough in for my liking. I found it odd given the specs but for me it lacked the bass that the smaller soundlink mini had

I know sound is subjective but this just didn't thump the way I wanted it to. The sound is great but for £250 I expected more bass

As with the UE Megaboom I tried again I'm just not impressed enough and will be investing in the sonos move which delivers the kind of bass I'm looking for

Worth every penny, a really good high level Bluetooth speaker.

I used to have a JBL Flip speaker, bought about 2-3 years ago. Served me well, but started to go tinny and battery life was practically non existant. Not moaning, as for around £70 (if my memory serves me well) I think I got my money's worth.

I'd been eyeing this up for a while, but had never actually tested the sound in a Bose shop or any shop for that matter.

I took the plunge. £275 😱 Misses had a go at me when I told her about my special purchase.

When I unboxed it I had to plug it in, absolutely no battery in it. As soon as I played the first song (Robbin Hood Theory by Gangstarr, if you were interested) it was worth every penny.

I then preceded to test it against my old speaker, to prove to my fiancé it was worth the money. Played 10 seconds on one and switched to the other straight away (We both love Portishead so played Pedestal).

Wow, blown away. She said chuck the old on under the stairs, it can be a back up!

The bass is great, and the treble sublime. It handles high volume very well, I couldn't detect any distortion.

I must also say it's such a classy design. Feels solid, but not heavy. The carry handle is great. Not yet tested outside whilst raining but I will when the situation presents itself. I will trust the IP rating.

Basically, stop reading this do yourself a favour and buy it. Great investment
