Bose The SoundLink Revolve The Portable Bluetooth Speaker with 360 Wireless Surround Sound Triple Black

I bought a pair of these that link wirelessly and they are fantastic. I teach workshops to hundreds of people and I take these with me in case the organization has a bad sound system. Full sound around, clear and solidly made. Expensive but you get what you pay for. Charging isn’t the fastest but they do hold the charge well. Mine are 5 years old and good as new. Read more

I've been using the Bose SoundLInk Revolve for a little over a week and have written some thoughts about the product. I went back and forth on buying it, because compared with other products it's a bit pricey, but I'm so glad I did. - 360 degree sound is extremely innovative and the best part of this product, as it essentially solves the problem that most portable speakers have, which is the volume level being too loud for some people and not loud enough for others. With music coming from all sides of this speaker, everyone is hearing the same level of music and you can have it loud enough to be enjoyed but not worry about it overpowering someone else. This is ideal if you're with a group of friends around a table or at a party or whatever. If you care about good sound quality this by far this is the number one reason to purchase this product. - Sleek and stylish design- really easy to figure out, navigate and connect - Incredible bass for such as mall device, especially when compared to bigger, bulkier, portable speakers - Waterproof is so, so nice. Not having to worry about it being ruined if getting wet in the shower or out on the lake is really perfect. - Aux cord and USB compatibility - I didn't know it had this feature when I bought it, but I now use this as my computer speaker in my office and it's great. - Really nice sound and the quality isn't distorted at higher volumes The only downside I've come across is that the 30 feet Bluetooth connection seems limited, but it hasn't been problematic at all and I also haven't checked what the standard is across other devices. Honestly my only regret is not splurging a little bit more to get the Revolve + . Very satisfied with this very quality product and I highly recommend to anyone looking to buy a higher end portable speaker. Read more

I've had the speaker for about 3 weeks now. Trying it out with everything from Classical to Blues to Thrash Metal to spoken word (podcasts). It has yet to come up short with anything I push through it. It is a little heavy on the bass, but not enough for me to be critical of it (this is kind of a personal taste issue). But most of what I've been trying out has been through the Spotify mobile app which has an equalizer - a small adjustment to lower the bass and it is perfect. I think what surprised me the most was how well the sound filled a decent sized living room. I wasn't expecting such a full sound in a large room. Size and weight make it easily portable. And so far battery life seems more than adequate for my usage. I love the physical design - it looks like it belongs perfectly wherever I place it. Bottom line: This is a quality speaker (IMO). I'm very happy with this purchase. But ... speakers are very hard to judge, review & critique. What sounds great to me, might sound awful to another person. You've got to try it out for yourself in your personal environment. But unless you're looking for something SUPER high end, I think you'll find it worth the money ... at least I do! Read more

I originally purchased the Bose SoundLink Revolve speaker because I listen to hours and hours of music every day. I ordered it without testing it in a store because I was impressed with my Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones and felt like I'd feel no different toward this. The speaker met my expectations for the most part. The first time I listened to music with the speaker, I thought the bass would be heavier. However, I'm quite pleased with the rich quality of sound the speaker puts out. I typically have the volume on my phone up all the way and the speaker about 25% or less of its maximum. I have turned the speaker up to its maximum volume only once and that was to test how loud it can get. I can confidently say I will never have to use the maximum volume in my 760 square foot apartment - if that says anything about how loud it can get (or how small my apartment is). The battery lasts a bit longer than the specs indicate. I easily use it over 16 hours over the weekend without charging it. Additionally, the speaker charges quite quickly. Despite having a 360 degree speaker, I still move the speaker around with me if I'm leaving one room to go to another because I usually take my phone with me wherever I go and the Bluetooth limit is approximately 30 feet. I have had some trouble with the connection when less than 30 feet away but with walls between the music source and the speaker. Additionally, a few times I've had my phone next to the speaker and it will still cut out for a second. I have tried to answer a few calls using the speaker but the person on the other end complains that I cut in and out or they just can't hear me period despite being next to the speaker. But that's obviously not why I purchased the speaker so I won't take a star off for that. I typically use Spotify Premium with the highest quality download options which I believe makes a difference in the quality of sound you get from the speaker. Overall, I'm pleased with the speaker as a casual listener of many different genres. I hope this very non-technical review helped! Read more
