Boom 2
Loud, bassy beast; needs EQ, no aux.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
I 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
My 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.
Dude 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.
I 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?
The new Bose Soundlinks are really good too!
We 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.
