I didn't expect much from the speaker because I was never a huge fan of Bose products to begin with my limited experience with their earphones but i am pleasantly surprised with this speaker. The speaker is water resistant which is new for the Color 2 over the original color speaker Bose made. They also connect with the Bose connect app just like the Bose QC35 does which is nice since it can do firmware updates, increase and lower volume and connect with just the app. Connect with an aux cable or Bluetooth and I assume using Bluetooth 4.0 but doesn't state anywhere in the material's or online on their website. As far as sound goes I didn't expect this to sound really great but it does. The bass is deep enough and vocals are clear. I have a similarly priced speaker made by another company but I find these to be better and around the same price range as this speaker. I would buy this speaker over other speakers because of the small form factor and that it is water resistant.
