Bose SoundLink Revolve

 

The buzz in Bluetooth speakers these days is all around 360-degree audio, with the music sounding the same no matter where you are in the room. The SoundLink Revolve is Bose getting in on that omnidirectional-audio act.

A little stunner of a Bluetooth speaker, with effective 360-degree sonics.

Bose SoundLink Revolve review

 

Bose goes back to the drawing board to create a wireless speaker with 360-degree sound.

True 360-degree sound Beautiful design and build Detailed and expansive sound

Only 30ft (10m) range Charging dock not included Not fully water or dustproof

The Bose SoundLink Revolve is an excellent choice for those looking for a true 360-degree listening experience. Yes, it’s expensive, but it also sounds great. The biggest issue is that the Revolve lacks dust and waterproofing, which means it’s not a...

Bose SoundLink Revolve review

 

This petite Bose Bluetooth speaker makes a huge impact…

Great omnidirectional delivery ; Big, solid, punchy sound ; Good timing and dynamics ; Petite, portable design ; Good feature set

Rivals sound more articulate and detailed ; Not especially rugged ; A bit pricey

Huge performance from a tiny speaker - this talented Bose speaker could be worth a place in your home

Bose SoundLink Revolve review: Classy, round, room-filling sound

 

In the end, you get from Bose what you almost always get from Bose: A minimal, stylish speaker that sounds really good.

Small ; Premium ; Portable design and balanced ; Controlled sound that fills rooms with ease

Sound balance may not be to everyone's taste ; Would be great to have smart assistant capabilities.

The SoundLink Revolve provides what you almost always get from Bose: a minimal, stylish speaker that sounds really good.

Bose SoundLink Revolve review: High-class Bluetooth audio

 

Top-quality Bluetooth audio, but you pay through the nose for it

Compact and lightweight ; IPX4 shower resistant ; Great sound quality

Expensive ; Loses control at top volume

Still, the Kef is currently £50 more expensive, it isn’t water-resistant and it doesn’t do 360-degree audio either. That means that, even at £200, the Bose SoundLink Revolve is a decent option for anyone looking for good sound quality in a compact...

Bose SoundLink Revolve review

  (Rating Hidden)

A fresh addition to the Bose speaker line up, the Revolve is a durable portable Bluetooth speaker. It's designed to deliver sound in all directions; great for parties, be that indoors, outdoors or at the pool. But can the Bose SoundLink Revolve impress...

Bose SoundLink Revolve review: Brilliant 360-degree audio in a compact package

 

It isn't smart, but Bose's compact 360-degree speaker sounds fantastic and it's now £20 cheaper

The main qualm here is the price. The Bose SoundLink Revolve is considerably more expensive than an Amazon Echo and a Google Home and that's despite the price having dropped by £20 since I first reviewed the speaker.

Bose SoundLink Revolve

 

The Bose SoundLink Revolve delivers rich, powerful Bluetooth audio in a water-resistant design, but feels slightly overpriced.

Strong audio performance for size, with rich bass and clear highs. Built-in speakerphone. Water-resistant design.

Comparatively pricey.

Purists seeking a flat response-style speaker won't be pleased with the SoundLink Revolve's pronounced boosting and sculpting in certain ranges, and booming bass fiends will want to seek out a larger speaker. The SoundLink Revolve+ doesn't offer...

Bose's smaller 360-degree Bluetooth speaker is no slouch

 

The smaller of Bose's new 360-degree "omnidirectional" Bluetooth speakers doesn't have a handle but it's still a great little speaker.

The sleek Bose SoundLink Revolve Bluetooth speaker sounds excellent for its compact size. Battery life is good at 12 hours, there's a threaded tripod mount on the bottom of the speaker and an integrated microphone for speakerphone calls.

Expensive, and the cradle that makes charging easier is an optional $30 accessory. The pricier Revolve Plus sounds even better.

While I'd lean toward the bigger Revolve Plus, Bose's SoundLink Revolve is still of the best-sounding Bluetooth speakers for its size.
