"Thin for portability. ... I like this flatter form over the round speakers, it will pack better. ... if it packs better the chance is higher it will go more places with me."


"it is very suitable as a travel speaker for taking with you on a trip"

I have one of these and since the day I got it the battery drains completely within days when not being used. Is it just mine?

Can confirm, Bose speakers are absolute tanks. Glad to hear yours is still going strong that battery life is just insane!

I have one from 2017 too. Works exactly like it did the first day I got it and holds a long charge. Great bass too!!

Mine went kaput for some reason a few years back and wouldn’t boot up. Then I learned that you can plug it into your computer and update its firmware using the Bose Software Updater. Still works like a champ!

r/audiophileEven if audiophiles dislike Bose, what do they like about the brand at all?

I actually liked my Revolve+ speaker. I never had connection issues with it, the sound was decent for what it was, it was easily portable to wherever I wanted it to be and it was an omni directional speaker. So it worked great for parties inside and outside because there was no difference in the sound all around it.

My Bose revolve plus has been going strong for 9 or 10 years, even after accidentally dropping it and my JBL Go 4 is great for my office

Lol trying to make the JBL seem better than the proven premium brand, Bose all the way between these two

I have revolve plus serie I and revolve plus serie II, but jbl charge 6 sounds better in direct position by slighty more margin and more bodied bass.

r/Bluetooth_SpeakersWhich is better Harman Kardon GO+PLAY 3 or Bose SoundLink Max? Or other recommendations?

All depends on what you want to use it for the harman kardon is a good option if you want a nice powerful speaker for indoor use I don’t have the bose soundlink max but do have the smaller revolve+ this one is obviously lighter and probably less powerful but it is very suitable as a travel speaker for taking with you on a trip
