Amazing sound & look!
on February 11, 2026
Posted by: Eddie
I bought this speaker a couple weeks ago and I am in love! This speaker is exactly what I expected and more. First, the look is awesome, it has a weight to it which comes in handy when volume is all high and base is strong this speaker won't move. The sound is great quality, I would highly recommend this speaker to anyone looking for a high quality portable speaker. Bose you outdid yourself with this one. I only wish you had more colors. I purchased the lime green color.

New Everyday Speaker on the Boat, Beach or Patio

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.

Another Bose Home Run!

Wonderful sound. Excellent bass for the size. Decent battery life. A touch heavy but not ridiculously so. The best ‘portable’ speaker in its price range for the sound you get. Another Bose Home Run!

Excellent sound quality. I wanted it for around the house, but weight seems good for taking along on adventures.

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.
