Bose soundlink revolve plus review Bluetooth#
We weren’t able to find a definitive answer on how well this system works with newer Chromebooks, but ChromeOS does have a reputation for Bluetooth connectivity issues. Otherwise the connection was great with Windows, iOS and Android. The Bluetooth connection was stable across all our devices except a really old Acer C720 Chromebook, which seemed to timeout and disconnect after a while.

One of the best portable speakers around.Lifewire / Benjamin Zeman Connectivity: Stereo and Party Mode It’s not cheap, but to get to the next level sonically, you really need to start look to something bigger and more expensive, such as the B&O Play Beolit 17 – which is still portable but not water-resistant. Sound quality is excellent for the size and portability. This is one of the most attractive Bluetooth speakers around, and the 360-degree sound seems to work very well. The impressive battery claims proved justified, with 16 hours being attainable if the volume isn’t pushed too hard. The SoundLink Revolve+ definitely sounds bigger and goes louder than the smaller Revolve, as you’d expect, but these are two peas from the same pod and have very similar sonic signatures. The 360-degree sound is really impressive, without any very noticeable dead spots as you walk around the room – certainly not to the extent that you get with most 360 speakers.

The bass is healthily full – and can be reinforced a little by sitting the Revolve+ closer to a wall. The top end is maybe a little on the harsh side at times, though. The sound from the Revolve+ speakers is certainly detailed and also expansive, with a sweet treble and upper mid-range. You can also stereo-pair two Revolve+ or set them in a multiroom party mode, all playing the same music. You can mute her if you find it a bit jarring, though.Įach speaker has memory for pairing with eight devices, which can be cycled through without having to go through the Bluetooth pairing procedure each time. The Revolve+ has Bose’s usual vocal prompts, telling you when it’s connected or can’t find a device to pair with, via a female American voice.

In theory, this should result in omnidirectional audio – no sweet spots and dead spots as you walk around the speaker.īose didn’t confirm whether or not the Revolve+ actually uses a larger driver than the Revolve, but it seems likely. Internally, the Revolve+ has a pair of opposing passive bass radiators, and a single transducer firing downwards into a dispersal plate with a pressure trap to reduce distortion. Unusually, underneath the speaker is a standard tripod thread, so you can pop your Revolve+ off the ground, or maybe even attach it to a Gorillapod wrapped around a fence post. Battery life is claimed to be around 16 hours. An optional charging dock is also available for £24.95. The rubber isn’t just for show, either: it helps the Revolve+ attain an IPX4 water-resistance rating.Īround the back – if there is such a thing on a 360-degree speaker – there’s a 3.5mm aux input and a Micro USB port for charging. The latter can be used for play/pause or held down to connect with Siri or Google Assistant – the Revolve+ has a microphone. The rounded bottom and top are both rubber, with the top having buttons moulded into it for on/off, Bluetooth, volume up, volume down, aux input and a multi-function control. There’s a choice of two finishes: Luxe Silver and Triple Black.Īpart from its larger size, the only design difference between the Revolve and Revolve+ is a ribbed carry handle that makes it easy to cart around the house. A perforated aluminium enclosure wraps seamlessly around the speaker and tapers towards the top. It’s no surprise to find that Bose has done a decent job with the styling.

The result, then, is not one but a pair of new portable speakers: the SoundLink Revolve and SoundLink Revolve+. But everyone is boasting about 360-degree sound these days, and Bose has clearly been wanting to get in on that omnidirectional-audio act. The original SoundLink Mini was deservedly a big seller, and the SoundLink Mini II continued that success. Bose has been bossing the portable Bluetooth speaker market for a while now.
