Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this speaker in a desperate moment when my old bluetooth hands free calling device decided to give up the ghost early one morning. I needed to get a new device as soon as the store was open. I looked through the few they had in stock, and this one, although expensive, seemed like the best way to go. The sound quality is of course great, its Bose, the package is small and the battery lasts all day+. It hooks up to 2 cell phones at once. The controls are straight forward and the body of the speaker is rubbery so it generally stays put. That leads me to the drawbacks. There is no visor clip to hang the speaker. The rubber strap on the back of the unit is to small to attach the unit on anything. I realize it's made for backpack straps, but a little more give or adjustability would have made a big difference. As far as using it for calls, my end is great but people have had trouble hearing me in certain situations like on the highway at 75. Not a game ender but a little annoying. Overall I like the speaker. I'm gonna work on fashioning a visor clip, or some type of gluing to the dash of the truck. Don't regret the purchase, just need to work out a few bugs. But good speaker.

I bought this to put on my mountain bike when I ride the trails and have only used it once. My first ride was about 1 hour and 15 mins, I have this turned up almost all the way and only used about 20% of the battery. So it seems this will have decent play time between charges. The volume of this speaker is ok depending on where your riding. If you have a lot of back ground noise it may not be as loud as you would like. I am happy with the volume of this speaker so far. I think some of it has to do with your play back device and how your music was recorded. Some of my songs were louder than others. I am annoyed by what I consider a design flaw. If this was made to put on your handle bars of a bike it is lacking thought. The strap holds it ok but the backing on the case slick so it moved around on the bar more than I would like. I am going to be added another grip on my bar to hold this in place. Its more of an annoyance than anything else. I expect more I guess out of a well known name like Bose. If you are creative it shouldn't take much to correct this flaw.

The Bose Soundlink has great sound and that is the main thing of course. My first minor complaint is that I can’t stand the speaker upright on its own because its edges are rounded. Sometimes, I wish I had bought a speaker with a flat bottom. The speaker has to lean against something. My second minor complaint is that sometimes there are too many messages being mumbled out. I am happy or fine with the announcement about the battery charge when turning on the speaker. That is all the messages I need.

got this at a discounted price ($99) - down from the $119 suggested price. Bose is a quality audio brand so they're trusted. in all my years - they've never let me down. this was a good buy. great sound. i just wish it was shaped a bit differently to be a little more ergonomic. a minor complaint as it's a solid buy.

Very cool portable speakers! Sounds superb, compact and rugged! I love the party mode! The design needs improvement!

If you want a small portable speaker this is a great item. The sound is as good as most higher end speakers. But that is the catch. it is not much better or better at than other speakers half the price. It also has one design flaw. IT cannot easily stand up. This is a forward facing speaker with a back base. If you lay it down the base if muffled and the music fires everywhere but at you.

Could be a bit louder; but considering such a small unit its not that bad. Also; back strap could have been designed better I am a bit leary abouut attaching it to my bike
