The "Top Critical Review" for this Bose SoundLink Revolve+ clearly misunderstands the fundamental concept of Bose acoustical engineering. The reviewer asks why Bose didn't include a tweeter and larger woofer in this unit. Critics have expressed this same complaint since the introduction of the original Bose 901 speakers more than 50 years ago (1967), believing that a quality speaker requires a large woofer to reproduce deep, low frequencies, and a separate tweeter for sparkling highs, with a cross-over network to separate the frequencies. Bose took an entirely different and novel approach, using one or more full-range speakers and no cross-overs. Using this approach, a talented team of MIT acoustical and electrical engineers mastered the science and art of brilliant sound reproduction from relatively small sources. As such, the SoundLink Revolve+ is one of the more recent iterations of this Bose engineering magic. If you have any doubts, locate a Bose store and go take a listen for yourself ... otherwise, just trust the many positive reviews that you can read here.Read full review

Engineering flaw - Bose designed this so the speaker uses more power than the power supply can handle so even if you have this plugged in full time the battery slowly drains!! I had it playing about 80% volume starting with a fully charged battery and after about 5 hours of paying I was at 40%. Why would you design a power supply that can't keep up? The volume is surprising for it's size, louder than what you would think. It broadcasts 360 degrees which is nice. I don't know why Bose wouldn't have added a tweeter to this? It uses a single speaker so you don't get crisp highs. I also don't know why Bose wouldn't have just used a 1-2" bigger speaker so you can hear bass instead of the mid-bass that this puts out. Bose instead puts a ton of engineering to squeeze a little more out of a tiny speaker. I don't think anyone would complain if it was the size of a coffee can instead of a slightly larger soda can. It should also be lower priced for what you get. That being said, for it's size it plays loud without distortion. Read full review

I just charged it up a few hours ago and have been jamming out In fact I liked it so much I went ahead and ordered another one to have the stereo effect. My den is about 16x16 with hardwood floors . It sound great in all locations but I put it right up in the Corner behind my recliner chair and it is awesome . In fact in this position the one is fine but I like options and with company I want to fill the whole room by placing one in each corner Out of sight . I like being able to move from den to bedroom or patio . I also have a sound link mini that is very impressive For its size but the Revolve plus is much louder and deeper base . I have read that others complain about the lack of a equalizer or tone control. I really did not feel the need to change too much but I found that the Equalizer app on my iPad worked right well with the RevolveRead full review

This is my second Bose Soundlink Revolve +. It was purchased to provide a stereo component to the initial Soundlink. I was pleased with the sound from the first unit, but having the ability to link a second unit provides a really great listening experience. The Soundlink is well built, attractive, easy to carry, and does have a great sound. It is expensive, but worth the cost.

I have since bought a second unit as a gift. Size and portability are terrific, but what surprised me was the bass response. Found the bass sounded best when placed in a corner. Battery life is more than have been able to exhaust in normal use. Although not competition for powered speaker units with subwoofers. for great listening quality & definition at reasonable volumes I found it to be simply outstanding.
