I have 2 Bose Revolve+ II’s in the kitchen for when I’m making meals, their app could be better setting them to stereo though… Ppl think I’m fancy when I bring them camping lol.

You can turn the voice off by holding the plus and minus together. For charging you can buy a dock from eBay to bypass the usb plug. Also, I found a way to downgrade my firmware which got rid of bluetooth LE.

This has been my experience as well. Very happy with mine (Soundlink Revolve+ II), a few years old and going strong. Good bass, excellent clarity, solid battery life, and can be synced with additional units should you want or need to cover more or multiple areas. I also say this as someone who bought a similarly priced JBL option and found myself extremely disappointed. I just gave that away.

Agreed 100%. If you want wireless connectivity from a portable device, might i suggest [https://www.amazon.com/Bose-SoundLink-Revolve-Portable-Bluetooth/dp/B08VL5S148](https://www.amazon.com/Bose-SoundLink-Revolve-Portable-Bluetooth/dp/B08VL5S148) I have the OG one of these and the sound is very good for a portable device. I use mine when I'm doing chores in the basement where my system doesn't reach. You get what you pay for. Good luck in your search.

I have the Bose Soundlink Revolve +II. Im guessing ive had it about 4-5 years now. I still have it and it works very well and still holds charge. It has excellent sound quality and for its size it gets quite loud with minimal distortion. I believe they still make them. Its very portable, solid handle and shaped like a lantern. Im not sure if its water proof though as I dont leave it outside or had it in any water situation. I highly recommend this speaker. I just recently bought a pair of UE Hyperbooms for sale second hand on marketplace as I like a bit more bass and volume. What I found interesting though is the Bose is the same price as a Hyperboom brand new. The Bose is around $500 AUD or 290 euro.

I have all three of those models and you’re right. A slight drawback with the Revolve 2 is that it sounds somewhat “tinny” to my ears anyway, at mid to high volume.
