Yes, it’s slightly on the expensive side, but for those who’ve loved Bose’s previous SoundLink speakers, the SoundLink Revolve Plus is an easy next buy.

You can’t submerge it like you can with other portable speakers, nor can you talk to it in quite the same capacity as you would with UE’s MegaBlast or an Amazon Echo, but the Bose SoundLink Revolve Plus has its own charm.

Verdict: The Bose SoundLink Revolve Plus is a terrific-sounding Bluetooth speaker that comes in a small package. The app is really only imperative if you plan on pairing the speaker with other SoundLink speakers. Without the app, the speaker is still simple and intuitive to use there are just a few well-marked buttons on the top of the speaker to control play/pause, volume and pairing.

Treble can lose its crispness I noticed this in songs like Lana Del Rey’s “Lust for Love” and London Grammer’s “Hell to the Liars,” where the vocals of the Haley and Lana kind of blend in with the upper-midrange - however this is grasping at straws for a flaw.Įven though the speaker comes with a companion app, you don’t have to download or even use it. If there’s a fault with the sound of this speaker, it has to do with higher volume playback. Its sound is loud, immersive, warm and punchy, especially when listening to R&B and electronic music, like Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” and Avicii’s “Levels.” However, the speaker sounds good when placed against a wall, too it actually makes the bass more intense. Review: Given the omnidirectional design of the SoundLink Revolve Plus, you’d expect it to sound best in the center of a room - and it does. Both are slightly more water-resistant than the Bose SoundLink Revolve Plus. The Sony SRS-XB41 is a larger and front-facing speaker with more, albeit quirky, features. The other difference is that both UE speakers respond to Alexa commands (with Spotify support). It charges via micro-USB.Īlternatives: The UE Megablast and Blast are omnidirectional speakers that can be paired in a group set up through the UE’s companion app, just like SoudLink Revolve Plus. At high volumes, high frequencies can lose a bit of their bite. It’s not as pretty as Bose’s previous Bluetooth speakers, specifically the SoundLink and SoundLink Mini II, as it looks like a lantern. Watch Out For: No built-in voice assistant like Alexa or Siri. Also, this is Bose’s loudest Bluetooth speaker if you plan on playing music at lower volumes, the smaller and more affordable SoundLink Revolve might be a better option. If they have other SoundLink speakers and want to pair them with the SoundLink Revolve Plus, in either “party” or “stereo” mode, even better. Who It’s For: The Bose SoundLink Revolve Plus is a good standalone Bluetooth speaker for anybody, especially those who love Bose’s signature sound. And it has a built-in mic so you can answer calls without having to pick up your phone. It’s simple to use, with a few straightforward buttons, and carry. It can be grouped with other SoundLink speakers, if you have them, through the Bose Connect app. It’s a surprisingly compact Bluetooth speaker, too, noticeably smaller than other speakers in the $300 price range, such as the UE Megablast. The speaker sounds great whether placed in the middle of the room or against a wall. At low to mid volumes, it gives you room-filling sound with negligible distortion. Strong bass, which you’d expect from a Bose speaker, but the speaker pushes impressive midrange and treble as well. The Good: The SoundLink Revolve Plus sounds superb. They’re both splash-resistant, too.īuy Now: $299 (Amazon) Buy Now: $299 (Bose) The two speakers are specially engineered, with dual-opposing passive-radiators and an efficient transducer, to eliminate distortion and sound spacious and accurate. They are also Bose’s first cylindrical-shaped Bluetooth speakers, meaning that they play true 360-degree, room-filling sound, similar to an Amazon Echo or UE Megablast. The Bose SoundLink Revolve Plus ($299) was released in spring 2017, along with its smaller sibling, the Bose SoundLink Revolve ($199), and the two are the company’s newest portable Bluetooth speakers.
