Not a smart speaker

As of now December 2019, this speaker allows Google Assistant setup but is not compatible with Google Play Music or YouTube Music. It's not mentioned anywhere in the description so it's extremely misleading. I see no point in a smart speaker that lacks proper music functionality without a Bluetooth connection. In short, until these music services are supported, I would not recommend this speaker.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions

Bose Portable Home Speaker

Once I received and installed my Bose speaker I had no problems with it. should be done in 15 minutes. After 10 hours of operation, the speaker was completely damaged at this point. The manual recommended restarting by pressing the Volume + and Bluetooth buttons. Don't go here. I had no choice but to return this product.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Makes me angry

If you are blind this can be a tricky setup.

At first I thought I read the reviews that this product is stereo. Well it isn't. In my opinion there is almost more bass than the speaker can handle. Someone said the Revain Echo is better with a subwoofer, I think there is some truth to that as this speaker is overpriced for what it does. What it doesn't do, like Bose's other portable speakers, is that you can make phone calls. Even when the phone is connected via Bluetooth, this speaker cannot make or receive calls from your phone. Also, I'm

  • So far so good
Cons
  • Not sure

Absolutely worth your money! You will not regret this purchase.

This speaker is amazing. I've had it for a few months now and with it sitting next to me on my desk I felt the need to share a review. I used to have a Bose Soundlink II (also great, but without Alexa of course) as well as a variety of other cheaper portable speakers. - Sound Quality: As expected from Bose, the sound quality of this speaker is excellent at any volume. Friends keep raving about the sound quality, especially given the small size and portability. Clear highs, deep but not too loud

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Neutral

Мы очень много вложили в Alexa, и у нас уже есть динамик Bose SoundLink Revolve+, поэтому мы были рады использовать его в паре с динамиком у нас already. It should be noted that we have LOVED the Revolve+ since we got it. It can PUMP music, sounds great even at high volume, is spill-resistant and very portable. It's easy to connect, the app is nice enough, etc. The battery life, even after years of use, is great too. We're 4 hours behind on battery on a newer device?), but the Alexa integration

Pros
  • Простая в использовании
Cons
  • Немодная

Great speaker for its size!

I currently have several portable speakers, wired speakers and a home theater system. I've always been a fan of BOSE audio docking stations and Revolve+ portable power supplies. Bose is known for its over-emphasized and artificially created soundstage. However, this is a positive thing in my opinion when it comes to small portable speakers. When the first BOSE Sounddock came out years ago, I was amazed at how big and full it sounded for its size. I have several generations of these and now they

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Embarrassing

Just a little, but not quite, maybe that can be fixed with an update.

I use a Bose Soundlink Revolve+ and I like the sound, but the Zipp 2 ends up falling behind, largely because of Zipps' ability to connect to WIFI and play internet radio stations via a feature-rich app that had equalizer type. The revolver has none of that, and at the time I wished he had one. The Zipp 2 sounded better too. I received a Bose portable speaker and the installation was pretty easy. I've been waiting a long time for Bose to offer a portable WIFI/Bluetooth speaker and here it is. It

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Not the best

A leap forward from the Revolve+

When I bought the Bose Portable Home Speaker (PHS) I wanted to know how it compared to the old Bluetooth-only Bose Revolve+. I've had it for a little over a year now and it's a significant step up from the Revolve+. Pros compared to Revolve+: a) Louder by 20-30% b) Better fidelity and louder bass but only slightly larger than Revolve+ (doesn't feel much heavier) Bose changed their sound signature a bit for this speaker, where it's almost at maximum volume it compresses the sound in a much, much

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • There are downsides
