Awesome little speaker

Yes it speaks. Once you turn on it speaks out battery status. It tells the device name it got connected/disconnected to as well which is pretty handy feature. Strong built. I have had a similar JBL speaker but with the sound quality of Bose that doesn't stand a chance. Sound is crystal clear even at high volume.

Awesome!

I received this speaker mid April. I wanted a good speaker that wasn't too big and bulky but gave quality sound. When I say this speaker has far surpassed my expectations. The sound is amazing. You wouldn't think a small speaker would pack such a big punch. I use this speaker ALL the time when cleaning, working out, resting, showering lol, etc. you name it and I use it. The design of the speaker is cute and small and can be discrete if you want it to be. It was very easy to use just connect to Bluetooth and it recognizes the device and let the fun begin :) I have purchased Bose speakers before but they're bigger than this. I am pleased with the speaker and I have no complaints. I would definitely recommend this speaker to anyone that wants small but powerful. I would like to get another one for my daughter.

Love the Easy!
on May 7, 2017

I am not tech savvy at all. I'm practically illiterate when it comes to technology. So I love it when I have something that makes using it easy and effortless. There are no tricky bells and whistles to this device. You simply unbox, plug in and start using. There's a nice boop boop sound letting you know its plugged in and charging. Turn on the button at the very top and it asks what language you want to use. You can scroll through the languages using the + or - keys. When you've come to the language you desire, select the multifunction key. Its the key directly across from the power button with three dots.
Pairing with your device is easy. Turn Bluetooth or NFC on and choose the Bose Soundlink.
I like that you can charge the soundlink and move to another room.
I definitely suggest downloading the Bose Connect app on your phone. With the app you can control volume, connect to another soundlink and have two playing music in different rooms; set a timer for the music to turn off or stay on; change the language; or check out the user manual.
The user manual shows you how to pause songs, skips songs, skip back on songs, make calls, reject calls, accept calls, skip between calls, end calls, or mute and unmute calls. All the usual stuff.
This device is easy and convenient. Great for large get-togethers. I would recommend to anyone who has parties or family events where music is a big deal. Another great feature is it has an AUX port (no cord) so you can connect to a speaker and do some surround sound. I like that I can connect it to my record player as well and let the sound amplify. I can play songs from my phone onto my record player while keeping my phone with me.

Well balanced warm sound.

I got this speaker as an anniversary gift from my wife and I truly love it. The battery life is excellent. The sound quality is so well balanced. I love the warm bass it has and clear mid to high ranges. It’s perfect for outdoors and In the house. My only complaint is that the bass gets muted and distorted sometimes when it’s turned up above 80%. Otherwise, I highly recommend it.

I bought it recently and while the sound is quite good, I feel the bass is too strong and there is no eq function (UE, which would be my other choice, has it) and the

Poor firmware updating
on August 24, 2018
Posted by: ZIPPY
Length of ownership:1 year or longer
My soundlink Revolve (like many others) uses a completely unnecessary Android app as a go between (and that app has CONSTANT PROBLEMS) The latest one is firmware updating. It has FW vs 1.3.3 and as soon as it logs on it "transfers it" to some new version gets to 99% and then starts the process all over again continuously. This is the 3rd separate significant problem with this app. ANY OTHER BLUETOOTH SPEAKER I CONNECT WITH WORKS WITHOUT A COMPANION APP RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. EITHER HIRE A GOOD SET OF PROGRAMMERS WHI CAN FIX AND DEBUG THE APP OR DO WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE DOES. ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THE APP ENTIRELY. PS. Me and everybody else is sick and tired of the braindead "whoops something happened messages every time we are out of bluetooth range. Just reconnect when you come back into range like everyone else does. If you dont know how to do this then dont write ur own app.

Here comes the party

I have been looking for a portable speaker that matches my mom life. I have a 15 month old who gets into everything so it needed to be loud, durable, price worthy, and functional. I was not disappointed when I got a chance to try out the Bose Soundlink Resolve. The speaker in true Bose style has a nice simple style. As soon as I picked it up I could tell it would withstand a couple falls. I found this to be true after chasing my daughter who has stolen the speaker. I mostly use mines for music but it works so much better than my cellphone's speaker. It it super easy to use. They even have an app for the not so tech friendly. I love that l can use my Google assist through my speaker. I would recommend this speaker for anyone willing to pay for the quality and sound they want. I have a cheaper speaker but the quality is trash in comparison.
