I bought a pair and the two charging stands. The only thing that is annoying is that the usb cable that plugs into the base has a poor connection and if you even look at the cord the wrong way, the cable unplugs itself. A minor issue and there is really no room for the stands in this review anyway. The quality of these speakers is nothing short of amazing, especially as a pair. They are beautiful to look at and listen to.
No reviews online says this. I bought this speaker recently, some things I liked and problems as follows: Likes: 1. Sound is satisfying and bass is amazing. 2. Portability. I can easily be carried with my laptop bag. 3. decent battery life. Problems: 1. Doesn't work with android apps like skype, whatsapp for calls though works with regular phone calls. (LOL, cheap Bluetooth speakers works) 2. You cannot control volume, directly from speaker when connected windows 10(works fine when connected to android phone). You can through laptop.
PS: I have updated to 3.0.4. Further, done reset through multi-function button.
I was excited to acquire this speaker, but it was my first and probably last Bose purchase. From day one, this speaker sounded muddy, with noticeably inferior sound quality to the one I had paid less than half as much for from another manufacturer.
Then about two years after purchase, the bass went, even though I have NEVER played it near max volume, and now it just vibrates instead of playing low tones. The repair cost Bose quoted was the same as the cost to replace with a competitor's product, so I said no thanks to that.
Clearly other people received a better item than I did. I just wish Bose would stand behind their products better than this.
Has trouble connecting to devices. Had to factory reset three times due to sound quality issue. Sound quality is not fluid, often stops and/or skips on its own terms. I have $30 speakers with better sound quality. Sending the item out for a repair but would prefer to just have my money back so that I could buy a SONOS.
It seems like the most commonly searched question on google about the Bose revolve are its connectivity issues. I am so disappointed with the product--it suddenly disconnects from my devise (Windows 10), or it shows that it's connected and then stops playing music. It's so annoying... will try and return it if I can.
I now have two of these. I bought the 2nd one because I thought the 1st one was dead. Turned out it was suffering from the EXTREMELY common (see customer forum) "charging issue" whereby the Revolve simply stops charging. It can be fixed by following various tips in the forum, but it always returns. It's even happening to my newer Revolve as well. Beware product support on this model. If it works, it's great, but frankly I'll be trying another premium brand next time unless the charging issue is fixed.
Got this as a xmas gift and so did my daughter. We both love this speaker its loud portable easy to carry around and it connects extremely fast. Will be getting another one for the cabin. Also have the wireless headphones which I love also!!! 5 stars
It is a good speaker. It is easy to use, resistant to water and to small falls. Have a good sound quality since you are not expecting to have some bass. To small parties at home it is not all that thing.
