![]() ![]() NFC tap-to-pair technology (with devices that support NFC).Threaded tripod mount on bottom of speaker.Dimensions: 6 inches high, 3.25 inches deep, 1.5 lbs.But the vast majority of people will think it's a great sounding little speaker that can be easily moved from room to room or carried outside, where it can fill a patio area with sound - maybe not at dance party-level, but certainly at background music volumes.Īs I said, I personally find myself leaning towards spending the extra dough on the SoundLink Revolve Plus, but if you don't need that extra bit of fullness and volume, you'll be quite happy saving some money with the Revolve. ![]() It didn't sound great when I hit with deep bass or complicated music, but it sounded better than most small speakers.Īudiophiles will find fault with the Revolve's sound, particularly compared to wired $200 speakers. For example, UE's Wonderboom, which retails for a third of the price and is an excellent mini Bluetooth speaker, stumbled over parts of the bass line in the Shaun Frank remix of The Chainsmokers' "Closer." The Revolve managed to get through those sections without breaking up. What separates the Bose from its competitors is the ability play a little louder, put out more bass without distorting and sound a little more natural with decent detail. The Revolve is only capable of so much, and can't quite escape the boundaries inherent in streaming audio over Bluetooth to a small speaker. The fact is you could hit a patch where you say to yourself that sounds a little rough - or a little weird. When I say this Bose sounds excellent, what I really means is that it sounds excellent compared to other very compact Bluetooth speakers. I'll repeat what I said about the Revolve Plus. They sounded good for compact, battery-powered wireless speakers, but don't expect a pair of Revolves to beat a decent set of wireless powered speakers such as Bose's own SoundTouch 10 or Sonos Play:1 speakers, both of which can be set up as a stereo pair. However, there isn't any audible feedback to inform you of your volume levels, and since most of the buttons aren't texturized, it can be difficult to tell which button you're pressing without looking at the speaker.To test stereo pairing I threw on some tracks from the '60s and '70s (The Rolling Stones, The Doors and The Beatles) that feature a lot of stereo separation. ![]() The speaker also informs you of its battery levels through another voice prompt when pressing the power button, as well as through a battery level light under the power button when turning it on. It has a Bluetooth button that you can use to pair the speaker to your device, which should trigger a voice prompt informing you of the device it's connecting to. You can also press and hold it to activate your smartphone's voice assistants. Its multi-function button is used to play, pause, backtrack, and skip tracks. You can mute and unmute your phone calls by pressing them both at the same time. You can use the + and - buttons to increase or decrease the volume of the speaker. The Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II has a very good selection of controls. We've updated the results for Microphone On/Off to 'Yes'. Update : You can mute the microphone during a phone call by pressing the + and - buttons at the same time. ![]()
