Bose SoundLink Color Bluetooth Speaker Black

OK so I have been using this product now for approximately 24 hours and I must say that I am highly impressed with the quality of the sound as well as how easy it was to use. I will be providing a this review so that you can make your own decision prior to purchase. So immediately from the start I did notice that the speakers were very heavy indicating high quality product and high quality magnates were used in this speaker. So the speaker itself weighs approximately 2 pounds and seems to be very durable .I did charge the speaker for approximately 2 1/2 hours until it reached full. You can tell the percentage level by pressing the power button once

The Bose SoundLink Color Bluetooth Speaker in Black offers a compact design with impressive audio quality. The sleek, durable exterior makes it ideal for on-the-go use, while the Bluetooth connectivity ensures seamless pairing with devices. The rich, balanced sound enhances music and calls, and the rechargeable battery provides decent playtime. However, some users may find the bass lacking compared to larger speakers. Overall, it's a reliable choice for those seeking portability without compromising on audio performance.

Love it even more now ! It's been over a month since my original review of the Bose SoundLink Color, and have used it a lot since getting it. - Bass really IS quite nice. - Found a new use for it too: We recently used it in place of a 40" flatscreen TV's built-in audio, and it did the job very nicely - we placed it right beneath the TV's front-center and experienced nice full sound with no lag. Great! - - - - WHY I got one? Mostly for non-earphone music where my phone's built-in speaker is not enough. KEY DECISION FACTORS - Value: Quality audio at a good price, in a portable package. FIRST TRY I first got an OontZ Angle to try out the Bluetooth speaker concept. At @ $30, the OontZ was among the least expensive with good ratings. I like the OontZ's triangle package, ... MoreLove it even more now !

FIRST TRY I first got an OontZ Angle to try out the Bluetooth speaker concept. At @ $30, the OontZ was among the least expensive with good ratings. I like the OontZ's triangle package, and the sound is OK for the price. But, price aside, I find the audio lacking in rich or balanced sound - not "satisfying". I now use it mostly it in my car to supplement the radio and the car's cassette tape deck. At the $30 price point, I guess you could say this might be expected. NEXT TRY for better Audio For listening around the house, I notched up to the higher price strata - quite a jump up - by $100 or more, to look at the: 1) Bose SoundLink Color (@ $130) 2) UE Boom (@ $180) 3) Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker (@ $200). COMPARING was TOUGH I found it difficult to find a good forum to compare these. Online and in-store comparisons were both ineffective. ONLINE reviews: I found that online auditory reviews captured only the grossest of sound differences vs. what I could, later on, hear in person. So, by all means, listen to the auditory reviews online - but you'll need to go further. IN STORE comparisons: These were not easy either. - I could not judge audio quality in stores sufficiently to make a solid decision. - Crappy demo music was installed for all the speakers. (How in the world do they pick those demo tracks ?). - The store speaker placements, and nearly constant cacophony of ambient noises filling the air all but obliterated the quiet needed to better judge sound details. - If you try in-store comparisions, I suggest that you pair your own phone/device with each speaker you try, so that you can at least hear YOUR OWN type of music instead of their demo tracks - this is really a must so that you can listen for what satisfies you in YOUR music. SALES PUSH ? It seemed that sales personnel were PUSHING the UE Boom on me, while giving the Bose SoundLink Color relatively short shrift. I HAD TO ASK THEM SEVERAL TIMES to let me hear the Bose SoundLink Color. But, it took 4 or 5 times of me asking to even get their attention away from the UE Boom. W h a t ' s with that? WHAT DO YOU NEED ? - The UE does have nice features - no dispute. But, I do not plan to going surfing on the ocean with this speaker strapped to a surfboard, so water proofing is really nice but not a must-have feature for me, and I do not plan to be on a Merry-Go-Round going around it 360-degrees while listing. Actually, I favor wall or, better yet, corner placements for speakers - and for these types of features I personally did not see an advantage for the UE Boom. In short, I did not need the kind of features that sales personnel (repeatedly) emphasized as UE boom strengths - and that they pointed out (rightly so) as missing from both Bose speakers. PAIR UP And so, when I finally managed to pair up my iPhone with the Bose SoundLink Color Bluetooth speaker, and played MY OWN music through it, I was surprised at the s w e e t tones I then heard and was pleased at familiar details nicely portrayed from these speakers. Ahhhh ... satisfying sounds :-) My own tunes evolked the feelings I was accustomed to feeling while listening. It's not a "perfect" speaker (not sure I've ever heard one), but I do enjoy hearing it play my music again and again: Great piano, guitar, vocals, bass and more. AND, back to my value consideration: It's the least expensive of these three. The BASS PLACE - Online reviewer consensus seems to be that the Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker (@ $200) has the best bass. I agree and found its bass to be both loud and clearly defined - really nice! But, the bass was perhaps a touch toooo much for me. And while the (@ $130) SoundLink Color's bass seems not as well defined to me as its more expensive sibling's, I do find that it DOES have QUITE strong bass, especially when placed near a wall, and is even stronger when in a corner. The UE Boom comes in behind on this. So, the value winner for bass is the: Bose SoundLink Color.

The Bose sound link color speaker is a compact and affordable Bluetooth speaker. It is easy to pair with your devices and can remember up to eight of them. It has rubberized top and bottom bumpers that make it durable and resistant to scratches. The speaker delivers rich and powerful sound for its size, and can play stereo content without downmixing it. It has a decent battery life of up to 8 hours, and a voice prompt that tells you the battery level. The Bose sound link color speaker is a good choice for anyone looking for a simple and reliable Bluetooth speaker that sounds great for its price.

Recently got given the speaker as a present and have found it to be incredibly good at what it advertises and certainly lives up to Bose's usual high standard. The range on the speaker is fantastic for its size, giving very clear bass as advertised, and its great its so easy to connect to whatever you're using at the time. As for the ruggedness of it; I can certainly attest to that having used it both cycling and in a rowing boat (even as a replacement speaker for the cox box!) Worth noting however the charging cable was pretty difficult to get into the charging port the first time of charging up as the pins at the top were quite stiff, but merely required a little more pressure than first thought. Great product, would recommend

Bose will forever be that upper level sound delivering system! The relative memory I always have, from my youth, has been ingrained in my opinions toward the company. Might even say I have a biased opinion!! Honestly, my experiences with BOSE products was owned or operated by a particular part of society..say, upper middle class. In my experience…of course.. So now that’s stayed as the last imbedded impression I’ve carried and the handful of items I’ve owned over the years have never failed to impress me. Especially, my first car ( Infiniti g20 ) black leather seats and the stock surround sound it came with had Bose sound system. But people thought I had two after market 12”” speakers in the trunk! Lol. Sorry for no picture. I don’t want to get flagged as spam. ... MoreBose will forever be that upper level sound delivering system!

I purchased this speaker after hearing it at a friend's apartment. This is a fantastic speaker. I'm something of an audio enthusiast, but I can't afford thousands of $$ to put towards audio equipment at the moment. At the price, this is the perfect speaker for me. The size is also great; kind of flat and packable in a suitcase, giving it a portability, but too small that the speaker size is limited. The sound was so clear and crisp, that I decided right then to go home and purchase one for myself. I am extremely satisfied with this little speaker with a big bang of a sound. I like that I can take it into my bedroom or even my bathroom easily. For the price point it is good and the styling works well with my wife decor and looks nice left out.

The Bluetooth pairs well and well even audibly say what it is connecting to, which I like. A terrific little portable speaker to own!

We have in colour Coral Red. It’s a perfect little wireless speaker with great base crisp sound. Great for outdoors we used it during summer and winter outdoors, easily connects with any phone or laptop or tv with Bluetooth connectivity. On one charge it Lasts more than 7 plus hours depends on how high u are listening to the music. I take it everywhere in Bedroom listening to podcasts in bath listening to soothing music while I unwind. It’s water resistant. Connectivity range is 30ft which is very convenient. Overall we love this little device a family favourite..

I received this speaker for Christmas of last year (2023) and I use it daily at work on maximum volume for 6-10 hours a day at a time and it still sounds and plays like it’s brand new. This speaker is durable and sleek. The sound quality is unbeatable when compared to other speaker brands and the strength of the speaker itself is amazing and long lasting. The Bluetooth connectivity can stretch for about 30 meters with my iPhone 14 Pro Max also. Never had a problem with this speaker! Highly recommend.

Bose has always been at the top of the food chain in terms of sound, quality and durability. If you’re not easily fooled by cheap products like Beats by Dre and others alike that are really cheap in terms of parts used to make the product, you know Bose isn’t mainstream like these endorsed brands. Bose is straight to the point in terms of quality, durability, portability and sound quality. It puts the cheaper brands to bed. Pick yourself up a Bose speaker and invest in better sound and performance. Don’t get a child’s toy. Get a man’s speaker. Get a Bose!
