Review on Silver Bose SoundLink Revolve+ (Series II) Wireless ๐ŸŽต Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Long-Lasting Battery and Handle, Water-Resistant by Robert Hardin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Volume not paired with Ubuntu Linux

This device has Bluetooth issues. The volume buttons do not work when paired with Ubuntu Linux 20.04, so the sound is kept at a low volume even at maximum system volume. Although the phone works fine. A quick Google search reveals years of reports of Linux volume issues with their Bluetooth speakers. Bose clearly will not support these users. This problem renders this expensive little speaker useless to me. I go back to B&O whose Bluetooth speakers work great with Ubuntu.

Pros
  • More Music - Pair two SoundLink speakers together for party or stereo mode, or use Bose SimpleSync technology to pair with a member of the Bose Smart Family for synchronized playback
Cons
  • Style 90
