Bose SoundLink Colour review

For such a colourful-looking wireless speaker, this Bose sounds far too monochrome...

Relatively large presentation ; Works well with vocals ; Voice prompts may appeal to some users ; Portable design

Needs tauter bass ; Treble needs a dash of sugar – just not sweet enough ; Overall delivery lacks finesse and emotion

A little speaker from a big name, this Bose lacks the sonic charm to merit our wholehearted recommendation

Bose SoundLink Color review

A vibrant Bluetooth speaker that packs impressive sound

Fun, curvy design ; Booming sound ; Awesome battery life ; Affordable

Lacks modern features

Sound performance takes the cake as the Bose SoundLink Color's most impressive feature. But wait, there's more. The colored design adds some much needed spunk to Bose's audio lineup, and the battery life is superb.

Bose SoundLink Color review: This playful speaker delivers serious sound for its size

Bose's lightest and least expensive wireless speaker stacks up well against against the competition.

The relatively affordable Bose SoundLink Color is a compact portable Bluetooth speaker that sounds very good and plays loudly for its size. It delivers up to 8 hours of battery life and charges via micro-USB.

No speakerphone capabilities.

The Bose SoundLink Color delivers solid Bluetooth sound in an attractive, portable package.

Bose Soundlink Colour review

(Rating Hidden)

The Bose SoundLink Colour is a micro-sized, battery-powered Bluetooth speaker which, Bose claims, can still produce 'clear, well-balanced, full-range sound.' Has Bose pulled this off, or is a big sound too much to expect from a speaker this small?

Bose SoundLink Color Bluetooth Speaker

The Bose SoundLink Color Bluetooth Speaker packs a ton of power into a portable package, offering impressive audio performance at an unexpectedly low price.

Rich, powerful sound for the price. Uses standard micro USB cable for charging.

Unattractive design. No speakerphone function.

Performance and Conclusions As mentioned above, any misgivings you have about the SoundLink Color's design will be laid to rest once you hear it playing your favorite tunes. This speaker pumps out some of the most impressive audio I've heard at this...

Bose SoundLink Color (white)

Take the SoundLink Color, the company's lightest -- and least expensive -- portable Bluetooth speaker ($130, £120 in the UK, and AU$179 in Australia). As you might expect from a speaker called the Color, it comes in an array of palettes. Indeed, Bose...

Bose SoundLink Color Review: Bold Sound

If sound quality matters more to you than portability and you want to pay less than $150, the Bose SoundLink Color is a great choice. With the best bass and overall sound quality in its class, this speaker will make your tunes sound their best. But...

Five color options ; Rich bass ; Crisp treble ; Excellent overall sound for the price

Limited battery life ; No speakerphone or dedicated app

Bose's SoundLink Color delivers excellent audio for the money in your choice of five colors.
