I rarely leave reviews, but this speaker genuinely deserves one. Over the years I've owned plenty of Bluetooth speakers, and most have been disappointing — tinny sound, weak bass, and overall poor audio quality.

This time I decided to spend a little more than I normally would, and it has absolutely paid off. The sound quality is outstanding for a speaker of this size. It delivers clear audio, impressive volume, and a surprisingly deep, punchy bass that far exceeds my expectations.

If you're looking for a compact Bluetooth speaker that doesn't compromise on sound quality, I highly recommend this one. It's exactly what I was looking for and worth every penny.

I hunted around for ages for a bluetooth speaker because I felt it's going to be one of those purchases you don't want to repeat for a while. I *LOVE* this speaker! It connects very, very easily and after initial pairing every time you switch it on it will just automatically connect. Then, you just 'play' from whatever you've connected to (eg phone, etc) and it comes out from the Bose speaker. Easily fills a room with high quality, fully rounded sound.

Volume is easily controlled from the speaker with '+'/'-' buttons and the Power switch is also very easy. It does something that I'm very, very passionate about in design and engineering ... IT 'JUST WORKS', BRILLIANTLY! #bravoBose. A single charge lasts for absolutely ages, but it also recharges very quickly.

I also bought the additional case to protect it particularly for travel (not made by Bose, but fits it perfectly and is also high quality and very sturdy). I use this a lot, particularly listening to Audible books while I'm doing housework! *L-o-v-e it* ... and thank you Bose for making something that 'just works'.

This little gadget works as well as any Bose speaker - which is to say it’s easy to use and sounds good*. It needs a firmware update which the app will load for you though it takes AGES to download before it applies and the screen needs to stay in the Bose app while this happens (a pain not to download in the background).

*The sound is solid - amazingly good bass for the size of the unit but slightly coloured as a result of this balancing act, not stereo (but it has a trick for that**), which obviously means you can’t judge spatial placement and so on, but the sound is bright, agreeable and quite listenable - and the speaker is waterproof enough for the shower if you really need that.

And the speaker is a conference speaker and microphone of course - though my use of it in Teams suggests that the noise rejection isn’t all it should be and other callers may get echoing if you use this function. But it works well in 1:1 phone calls which is something I guess. You can also summon your AI assistant when not in a call, or pause, skip and resume play. And all that works as you’d expect too. Very Bose...

** The app allows you to add another speaker to make a stereo pair - I haven’t tested this but I assume it works as well as Bose connectivity usually does.

**UPDATE** Just bought another one of these as a gift. Can also confirm these things are waterproof :)

This is exactly what Bose claim, the best sounding speaker for its size. In fact i prefer this to many other speakers physically bigger and ought to be outclassing its tiny form factor. Obviously you are paying a little for the Bose name and quality, which i think is fair enough, but with that you get their sound signature, which does make for a pleasant EQ that doesn't leave any holes across the spectrum the way others do in exaggerated upper bass or scooped mids. Normally i really dislike 'mono boxes' however good they are but i dont find that with this one at all, surprisingly. I did find that however with its bigger brother (the soundlink colour ii). I think the DSP has been really well tuned and this good EQ is definitely all contributing to that. Now please don't expect to have the bass blow your mind, of course there are physical limitations that even Bose cant work around (yet!) but regardless you'll find it hard not to smile at the performance when the bassline drops. What makes this so wonderful for me, as i travel an awful lot, is the size and weight. There is almost no excuse not to throw it in your bag however little you are traveling with, and the battery life is plenty enough at 6 hours. The magic in this unit is when you're chilling out and just have it sat in the room on the table. Many times now ive found myself enjoying the music i listen to at a comfortable volume whilst browsing the internet on my phone and completely forgetting its there. Then when i look up and see how tiny it is, and just how pleasing and full the sound is, i feel totally reassured about my purchase, ie NO buyer's regret! A little trick in any room if you want to increase the bass is actually to place it in the corner of the room, those low frequencies will suddenly boom a really eye-opening amount, try it if you don't believe me ;-) The fact that you can run two of them in stereo has my purchase finger twitching again, ill be honest. And hey, its amazon, you can always return it (if you need that final push to press the order button - yes im talking to you!) but im pretty this great little bluetooth speaker will be on a one way journey to yours..

I’ve had cheaper speakers, both bargain basement and “decent enough” quality (Sony). But this is another level. I bought it primarily for the multifunction button that means I can be in a different room from my phone and able to play/pause music or podcasts from the speaker. But the sound quality is incredible for such a small unit. Speech and music both sound great. I took it on holiday to a self-catering cottage, since it was easily small enough to squeeze into my luggage, and there was enough volume to listen to streaming radio in the kitchen, even with the noise of making dinner and the cooker hood running. Everyone who’s heard it has been seriously impressed. Battery life is good, I assume, because I haven’t got it past halfway yet! I wasn’t sure if I was paying a bit too much for a portable speaker, but now I’ve used it for a while I have no regrets at all.

This is ideal when sat outside or travelling when sound is the be heard by more than one. Love this.

Great sound, pure with a good bass. fits in a jacket pocket & quite light = perfect!

Bought this for wifey for when showering, so her iPhone can be left outside the en suite to avoid wetting the cell. I’ve already nicked it for bike rides and walking as it straps to handle bars or slips into pocket well nicely. Volume is perfect with no obvious distortion, Bose make sound, sound believable. Always reliable kit. Case is rubbery so can withstand knocks or drops. A great purchase wifey loves singing along to Britney in the shower. Achieves a robust Bluetooth connection to Android or Apple kit, no dropouts.

I’ve now bought two of these fabulous little Bluetooth speakers, as you can easily join them to make a really rich stereo sound.

The speaker is perfect for travel (I bought an aftermarket shell case) and has been everywhere with me without adding too much weight.

The sound reproduction is surprisingly good for such a small speaker, and can even be hung in the shower or outside with the integrated rubber strap. And to top it off, the speaker even talks to you when it turns on!

Amazing sound quality and depth

This has to the best in its category. The sound quality is top notch. The built quality is impressive. I love it.

Fácil de usar, excelente sonido y gran fidelidad del audio. Muy buena para llevar a todas partes, no pesa mucho y la conectividad es relaticamente sencilla, solo debes tener la app de Bose.

Product received good packaging. Handy & easy to take with along any journey
