"Thin for portability. ... I like this flatter form over the round speakers, it will pack better. ... if it packs better the chance is higher it will go more places with me."

"YES, you can crank it to full volume without distortion."
"I totally bought BOSE sales pitch in the brochure that said the speaker would not produce needlessly exaggerated bass & was built for space filling clarity."
"Sounds great. ... this little bose unit sounds great to just chill with on the back porch, not loud enough for the neighbors to hear but it's able to reproduce great sound at moderate levels."

lovestojerk24 1.0I have a soundlink color original i bought in HS around 2013 that is still bumpin, only downside is its a micro-usb charging while newer ones are usb-C
Accomplished_Ad8998 0.2My sound link colour just keeps on going had ug for years only thing that went bad was the charging lead which I replaced. Quite happy with the size and quality.
averagecelt 0.2Dude yes. I have a standard Soundlink Color that I have been absolutely abusing almost daily for twelve years. Dropped so many times from several feel onto concrete and tile, soaked until dripping in shower condensation nearly every single day, brought camping and left out in the sun, rain, and frost, and rattled around truckbeds and canoe bottoms. Still sounds just as good as it did out of the box. Best gift I’ve ever been given.
Campita79 0.2I own a few different speakers bose and an older sony xb01 that one is garbage compared to bose. All my bose serve different purposes of listening. The soundlink micro is super small which is great when that's what you need. I have an old soundlink color, what I love about this one is the shape of it and its easy to use. Buttons are easy to find and I don't have to wrestle with it to use it. The flex is an awesome loud sound for large rooms and battery life is great but the shape is awkward. I heard a flip 5 the other day and I was impressed. What do you guys dislike about the flip?
Proof_Tradition_5270 0.0The new Bose Soundlinks are really good too!
ajfaul 0.0We have one of those still going that is older than 2017. Not sure when we bought it, but have had it forever. Only travel speaker we take on our adventures.
Aaron252016 0.0Same here! My 2 soundlinks are still going strong and I even still have my sounddock from when I was young.

Agreeable_Round361 0.0Diggin my Bose Soundlink. Thin for portability. The bass isn't mind blowing but I was surprised for the size. Sounds great.
I do. for me. so I'm the guy who rarely listens to music around others. I don't like listening to others music especially out side, at a park or beach for example. so I don't listen to my music loud out of consideration. this little bose unit sounds great to just chill with on the back porch, not loud enough for the neighbors to hear but it's able to reproduce great sound at moderate levels. I like this flatter form over the round speakers, it will pack better. if it packs better the chance is higher it will go more places with me.
Yes. I can hear the bass at low volumes. All frequencies are well produced.
angelwild327 0.0I have several models of Bose Soundlink, left one at my previous work facility, all have lasted years and all are in excellent working order. Great sound, and at least 10+ different employees linked to one of them without issue.
