"They're the loudest headphones I've ever heard, at 50% they're already far too loud for me (around 75% for the Tw4, 80% for the BO ex). ... In term of loudness, they are the loudest buds I ever tried, like it is very very crazy. ... On the Pi8 I am at 40% MAX, they are very very loud. ... Yeah, they are crazy loud, the 12mm driver magic ahah ... And they are louder :)"
"if you need volume, these are the TWS to buy."
"the Lites are much louder ... (I literally almost deafened myself playing music on max it was so loud)"

"Literally bombproof! ... Vermont winters/rain subzero temperatures!"
"the IPX7 rating makes it perfect for wet environments like the shower."
"Mine has been stepped on, played with by my sheep, dropped, rained on, dunked in water, beat on by ducks and geese, you name it. Still works great."

"it sounds fucking amazing. ... I was blown away at Best Buy. I thought this was fake somehow like there is no way this thing is producing that bass and that level. ... The speaker is phenomenal. ... At first it was almost too bass heavy; but after an hour or two of playtime it broke in and the mids came alive, without loosing any bass. ... it still sounds fucking incredible."
"the Bose sounds terrific for pretty much every genre I've hit it with, including Bass-heavy EDM."
"The EQ is the biggest upgrade in my opinion, it really fixes the highs and mids especially in the standing position where the old flex lacks crisp."

"I lost 300$ on a50 gen 5,has worked maybe 10 hours totally ... and dock station froze and stayed in xbox mode after a regular software update... ... tried everything i could,believe me..."
"if you also regularly use Bluetooth on the go, then Astro isn for you as the Bluetooth is on the dock and not on the headset ... Astro is definitely not worth the price when the Bluetooth is on the dock. That was a stupid thing to do, because anyone who buys a headset with Bluetooth would want to use the headset away from their set up and Bluetooth on the go"
"The prices for wireless speakers/subwoofer that sync with a soundbar are outragious. ... 2000€ or more for a sonos arc ultra + sub + 2 rear speakers."

"Avoid the Bose Flex Gen 2 and Bose Max. They have parisitic battery drain of 10-20% per week. ... These Bose will be dead in 2 months after a full charge. ... The units I have are brand new and no firmware update, because the previous returns had the new firmware updated and the drain was even worse. ... This is about as scientific as you can make it. Test every 7 days from 100% and watch it deplete to unuseable in 2 months. ... There's a huge thread about this subject from many Bose customers. Bose knows about it. Acknowledges it. Does NOTHING about it except offer you an exchange. ... Never seen anything like this in other BT brands. I have an old Sony BT speaker that I haven't touched in 2 years and can still play music!"
"The Bose Flex has a standby battery drain issue. It'll eat 30% a week"
"The battery drains 25% per week while turned OFF!"

"I also hate that it's micro-usb"
"this version uses micro USB to charge."
"used Micro USB"
Mine died after 8 years of near daily use. I almost placed an order for another Micro 1st version today until realising there's a 2nd gen in the works. Wonder when it'll launch in India, I'd grab the new one right away if I could 😪
r/bose • Soundlink Micro (2nd Gen) ->I have the first gen of these and they are great. Sound quality is good, fairly durable, good battery life. I mostly use it at home but we take it with us on vacations.
r/gadgets • Bose SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen) Review: A Tiny Speaker You Could Actually Love ->Same here! My 2 soundlinks are still going strong and I even still have my sounddock from when I was young.
r/BuyItForLife • What's the best quality bluetooth speaker you've ever tried? ->Ive left mine on my patio one full night of heavy rain, work like a charm.
r/BuyItForLife • The best bluetooth speaker worth buying now? (sound quality and portability) ->Diggin my Bose Soundlink. Thin for portability. The bass isn't mind blowing but I was surprised for the size. Sounds great.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Portable Bluetooth Speakers in 2025 ->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.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Portable Bluetooth Speakers in 2025 ->Yes. I can hear the bass at low volumes. All frequencies are well produced.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Portable Bluetooth Speakers in 2025 ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • Bose SoundLink bt speaker 2017 - best battery I have seen on any electronics ->Using an old Bose sound link Bluetooth speaker when I need more sound that the mini provides.
r/macmini • Which speakers are you using? ->I 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.
r/BuyItForLife • The best bluetooth speaker worth buying now? (sound quality and portability) ->I would recommend the tribit xsound as well. I got it for my parents. I was really impressed by the sound. It doesn’t get very pound but for personal listening it’s good. It would seem to have good highs. I use Bose micro, it’s not as good as the Bose, but still good for its price point. The build also is good and classy.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What’s the best Bluetooth speaker under ₹3000 right now? ->This is the correct answer.
r/onebag • Looking for recommendations for a travel fan and small Bluetooth speaker ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
