Q: QuestionIs the speaker waterproof??

Asked 8 years ago by Mamacece.

• A:Answer That's a great question. At Bose, we strive to deliver products that our consumers can depend on. ForSoundLink® Color II, we've stretched beyond the required testing parameters, in this case an IPX4-rated product, to ensure that your speaker will long outlast an accidental showering of water. This means that you can use SoundLink® Color II in more places and not worry if it gets wet (for example, splashes at the pool, getting caught in the rain, washing your car, splashes in the kitchen, etc.). Just don't submerge it.

Q: QuestionDoes this speaker have good bass

Asked 8 years ago by Nick.

• A:Answer Yes it does. We were actually impressed with the bass in the in store demo, which is one of the reasons we purchased it. Once out of the store environment ( meaning out of the noise and competing demos) we were even happier with it. Our main problem now seems to be preventing our 14 year old daughter from monopolizing it.

Q: QuestionI'm reading about over charging on my soundlink color, but how do I know when I should charge unless battery fully drained? I many times play it all day while plugged in(charging) is this bad?

Asked 8 years ago by thm1.

• A:Answer Its not so much that it is bad because these newer batteries don't have a memory like the old nickle metal hydride batteries used to have. Almost all rechargeable batteries today are a lithium polymer product. These new technology batteries have a shutoff built in to not allow the cells to be overcharge and overheat. Your wireless device will give you sone indication the battery is getting low so you know it is time to recharge your device. Usually it blinks or changes colors. Typically it is less than 10 minutes remaining befkre the battery is dead notification. Ir is a good practice to try and use the battery so you don't run the chance of possibly overheating the battery being plugged in all the time though just to be safe.

Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer This isn't a question but if you're asking whether or not it will work for this, then yes it absolutely will. My wife and I bought it for the beach and around the campfire in the yard. I don't think it could be any better for this.

Q: QuestionI need good sound quality from my smart tv..what kind of speaker do I need..what is the difference between wireless and blue tooth

Asked 5 years ago by Ferne.

• A:Answer Hey Ferne, thanks for your question! Our SoundLink II speaker is not designed to be used with a TV system. For a TV environment, we recommend using a Soundbar like the Solo 5 TV Speaker, SoundTouch 300 Sound Bar or the Soundbar 500/Soundbar 700. Bluetooth speakers will cause audio video delays, and as such we recommend using a hard-wired cable connection between the TV and speaker.
