Bose - SoundLink Revolve II

Totally agree with point B). I've returned it because of the metalic and sharp sound. It's ok for hiphop, trap, disco, clubbing music outdoors but rock, classical, pop it's pretty bad IMO. I've compared it with Audioengine A5+ active speakers and even though they are, let's say mid-range and roughly the same price, they sound much better, they simply please the ears, sound is smooth in any genre, with a woofer they are uncomparable. I wanted it for the wireless function, portability (let's say) and the fact that people were praising it. I will get two Bose Soundlink revolve 2s instead as I listen more indoors and I want decent quality at this price range (but also portability).

I really like the Bose Revolve 2, but the production date is very old. Even the input port is an anachronism. This worries me. Devialet prices are a joke. For Marshall, I liked 2 models. Killburn 2 and middleton. For Klipsch, there is the detroit model but the price is too high for now. I guess I have to decide between two models of marshall. What do you think?

Bose Soundlink Revolve II, can connect AUX and Bluetooth (possible USB haven't tried) ... it's loud, amazing sound quality, good bass plus you can pair it with a second Soundlink speaker to get true stereo (or party mode) Bluetooth is the only connection that exposes an inline mic (built in to speaker) HOWEVER it beats out Airplay any day, like little to no delay when using Zoom/Skype where my Homepod Mini a VERY noticeable 2-3 delay (absolutely horrible!). I only connect via Bluetooth when video conferencing or need a mic prefer the AUX as it responds instantly to volume change & doesn't sleep when computer is idle. The speaker volume can be controlled with your keyboard for both AUX and Bluetooth. Bluetooth connection it shows as a speaker, AUX shows as "External Headphones." It also has "Auto ON/OFF" to match computer active/power state. I tried a couple Sonos speakers, great speakers ... EXPENSIVE ... but Bose (anything with both AUX & Bluetooth) way better bang for your buck (especially if buy refurbished, gets same warranty as buying new ... I've never had to get refurbished stuff repair or exchanged)

I ended up snagging a Bose SoundLink Revolve II, it was half off on Prime Day.  It's pretty awesome. You can't customize the sound but you don't need to.

I find the Bose to be most pleasing of anything available in the market and did not hear any distortion when testing it thoroughly - waiting for some discount on this side of the world before I buy it !

Using an old Bose sound link Bluetooth speaker when I need more sound that the mini provides.

Bose soundlink is a good option. A little out of your price range, but worth checking out IMO.

Yeah, I have the old soundlink and I have no issues with it. I can only imagine the new version is the same if not better.

Flip 6 and Bose SoundLink are both excellent options, but for me personally, after owning both, I’ll go for the Bose. Deeper bass and clarity.

The bose isnt bad at all. There plenty out there that actually sound bad. Also its the only thing i've no latency issues or connection issues. Every jbl i've had has had Bluetooth issues, latency, and broken on me. With bose i've never had a single peice of equipment fail on me since my first acoustimass back in the day

I agree as well. I dont experience any distortion at max volumes. Can vary on audio sample quality as well.

I compared Bose SoundLink, Jbl charge 5, Jbl flip 6, Soundcore Motion X600, Klipsch Nashville and HK luna. I chose Luna from all. The best balanced sound for this price range. I found JBL highs to harsh, bose pretty good but not so open , Klipsch missing any lows, and Soundcore...I liked it but when I listened side by side with Luna...well..I ended up with Luna :)

I have them. They’re cool to show off to your friends right up until the moment that you turn them on. They have zero depth, zero bass, and really aren’t that loud. My Bose SoundLink sounds 1000x better and is much louder. You’ll get better sound from just turning on your stereo and rolling down the windows. I was highly disappointed. I don’t have any connectivity issues like a lot of people. As soon as I drop the gate, it turns on and immediately starts playing music from my phone. I really wouldn’t spend the money unless you hear one in person and decide it’s worth it. Because it’s not.

I love JBL, but BOSE sounds cleaner and better by a fairly large margin.

I have to say that, for as much as I love the Bose speakers I own, battery drain is far more noticeable than with other brands I own. My Bang & Olufsen speakers have the absolute least battery drain while idle; JBL is great for power retention, too.
