Ground breaking for bass and size at time of release and still has a certain magic about it.

Loved this one too, but after not using it for a while it didn’t turn on anymore :( Heard it happen to other people too.

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.

I bought one refurbished from Bose for $92. Sounds really good and the EQ, though limited to 3 bands, is a nice addition. The Mini II, which I also have, sounds really good too.

Unfortunately same. I still love it though. I’m just a little limited because I have to keep mine on the charging doc otherwise it won’t last more than 10 minutes

hell yeah, my soundlink mini 2 is battered and beat to hell, since it is the bluetooth speaker I’ve carried around for the last 10 years, but it still sounds as good as new. it now lives under my computer monitor, permanently connected to it with an aux cable, so it acts as a desktop speaker, and it’s SO much better than any other speaker I’ve ever tried in its size category. I thought it was kinda pricey when I first got it, but damn it, it has such incredible sound for how small it is and has never once let me down, it still even has the original battery and SOMEHOW lasts for more than 8 hours of continuous playback. it’s just amazing.
