New Everyday Speaker on the Boat, Beach or Patio
on July 10, 2025

I picked this up about five weeks ago, and honestly—I love this speaker. So does my wife.
It’s quickly become our go-to for everything from morning routines to boat days and backyard hangs. And trust me, that’s saying something. We already have TVs with soundbars, computer speakers, a vinyl setup with dedicated speakers, surround sound in the living room, and a portable speaker that usually follows us around the bedroom, garage, or patio. My wife has teased me for years about having “too many” speakers—but even she admits this one’s started replacing most of them.
What makes it stand out? It’s beefy and punches (dude way to describe it guess)—in the best way. It’s got a little physical weight to it, sure, but I’m really talking about the sound output. There’s a noticeable depth in the bass, strength in mids, and clarity in the highs that you don’t usually get from portable gear. It can absolutely fill a room, and outdoors it holds its own just as well. You can also tweak the highs/mids/lows to your music or liking, which I tend to do depending on the mood or playlist. Whether it’s acoustic rock or a 90s hip hop throwback, it sounds really strong and the “audiophile” in hates to say this but it sounds great just pushing them all to 10 and letting it go.
You can clip it to a bag, but expect it to hang off the side or sit best when attached to a MOLLE-style strap or loop—it’s not ultralight, but kinda the point on this one I guess. I had to jigger it a bit on my day to day bag and ended up just shoving it inside for my one of my bags that didn’t have a good molle situation I could strap in.
I’m a scuba diver and brought it on two dive boats. In both cases, the captain ended up using this speaker instead of their own system, broadcasting music from the captain’s nest to the entire deck. I didn’t test whether it floats—didn’t want to risk it—but I held it soaking wet and poured water over it while it was playing, and it had zero issues. Still jammed out without any problems. After diving, I clipped it to my soaked gear bag, walked off the boat, and kept the music going all the way to the car. That’s not something I’d trust most gear with at this price point. It was such a great little vibe as I had this really great jam session and it was really covered in salt water in a wet bag. It was a cool demonstration of what makes it a solid device.

Cons
• A bit heavy (but worth it for the quality)
• Bigger than many portables—more of a block than a pocket speaker
• Picks up light scuffs on the exterior (adds character IMO, but some may care)
• The rope loop is thick—standard carabiners don’t fit, so I had to rig a custom clip

If you want a speaker that actually feels like it’s built to be used—anywhere, any time—with sound that punches above its weight, this one’s been a fantastic pickup.

I recently just bought this speaker and it’s been a great purchase. It’s the life of the party and it saves lives (phone battery). Bose did its thing designing this speaker. Color option is amazing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bose speakers have is absolutely top-notch sound quality with crisp highs and deep bass. You can download an app to manage the equalizer sound. One nuance is that the speaker is heavier than I expected. Not ideal for travel but overall worth it!

Best New Speaker?!?!?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used Bose products in the past and have always been impressed with the quality. Not only is the audio quality impeccable (and this is coming from a classically trained musician with 13 years of experience), the design is gorgeous!!
