Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II Wireless Speaker (2021)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II is the bigger brother of the SoundLink Revolve II. It has essentially the same design and feature set but is larger and more powerful; it also packs more battery juice and comes with a woven handle for easy carrying.
Like the SoundLink Revolve II, the Revolve+ II carries an IP55 water and dust resistance rating. It uses a single full-range driver that fires downwards towards an acoustic deflector at the bottom of the case. The driver is paired with two passive radiators. With this setup, the Revolve+ II delivers omnidirectional coverage with no sweet spots.
The additional handle makes it easy to carry the Revolve+ II around the house and to parties, as its larger size makes palming awkward.
Like the smaller model, the SoundLink Revolve+ II can be used as an extension to a smartphone. It can pair with other Bose speakers, and there is an optional charging cradle for plug-free charging.

Reviewer score 47%The Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II is alright for music. Its fairly well-balanced sound profile makes this speaker suitable for a variety of music genres. Thanks to its 360-degree design, it has a decent soundstage with amazing directivity, so your audio should sound clear from all angles. The speaker struggles to reproduce low-bass, so it can be difficult to hear the thump and rumble in action-packed scenes.
