Bose SoundLink Color Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker II, Black

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I've had this speaker for about a month and it's great. I use the speaker in my loader at work and it's awesome. Earlier today the loader caught fire and burnt to the ground and the speaker was left inside. There was tons of water thrown on the loader to put fire out. After the fire was all set and done I thought I would have lost my speaker. But I was wrong the only thing that was not burnt and brittle the the speaker. After the hot fire and all the water thrown on it. It was still in working order. I was amazed to see how good it looked after the fire!!

This speaker is great! Every nice quality with this speaker, it's super load and no static. It has a really nice sound to and it's a bit heavy and not cheaply made witch is great just Incase you might drop it, it won't just break on you lol I highly recommend this speaker

This speaker is the prime reason Bose has such an incredible reputation! This little speaker packs a punch. I just used this speaker to teach a fitness class to 30 people and even with the volume all the way up, the sound is crystal clear. I would highly recommend this speaker. I am looking forward to using it in the back yard this summer.

I received this product about 2-3 weeks ago. In general, I think this is an amazing product! The presentation of the product is simple but very nice! Connecting it is simple and hassle free. You will be told about battery level when you turn it on. I choose the black/grey colour which is not so eye catching but give me the "Bose" feeling : ). The product is rugged very well, and it is even water proof. So it can be used anywell and so easy to clean. Sound quality is very good. The default setting has got relative strong base which fit very well with my music style. What is important, is the fact that the base sound is very neutral. The battary life is just amazing. I have not had charged it the 2nd time during this 2 weeks! And I have used it a lot. I used it to play music and as a sound bar when I watched TV.....sometime you even forgot this thing is running on battery and it is wireless. I am buying another one as a gift to my friend.

With a name like Bose, I expected excellent sound, but this ridiculously good! The speaker is a bit bigger than my hand and has a rubbery (soft) feeling to it. It is chargeable, so you can grab it and put it in any location while in use. It pairs easier than anything to my phone's Bluetooth. Music sounds like it is coming through a complete sound system all from one box. It is a clear quality sound with the deep bass that is needed to make music really sound complete. The sound fills up an entire room and only sounds better with higher volume. I 100%, hands-down, love this speaker.

I absolutely love this mini speaker. Is perfect to travel with and easily move around the house when the area of focus in the house changes. Battery lasted just under 8hours before my first charging of it. Looking to buy another one to connect them to “Party Mode” to ask more like surround sounds.

I've had the soundlink color and it is a fantastic add on to my other speaker from bose, it comes in 4 colours is very sturdy and waterproof, I love it and the sound is great , it's also light and works thru the app which is great for taking calls on your fone , it's a brilliant speaker for its size

I've had the speaker for a week, and think it's a fab little speaker. It's a good size and weight, feels tough and robust....the kind of speaker that you could throw in the bottom of your rucksack and not worry about breaking it. It has a decent volume and sound, though the sound is not as rich as the Bose revolve. Easy to connect devices, battery life is good though the speaker only tells you if the battery charge is high, medium or low rather than giving the percentage. We've taken it camping this weekend and it's been great for that.

I had been looking for a quality portable Bluetooth speaker for some time to use in the garden and for camping trips. The Bose Sound Link Color II is a compact solid speaker, and really does deliver!! Sounds funny I know but the speaker feels great, the “silicon skin” offers great protection from those unwanted rain showers, along with a perfect surface to carry around, the non-slip surface gives me the confidence I won't be dropping it! I think this little gem looks great, but more importantly sounds very good and is so easy to setup once out the box. Don't go setting expectations of super surround sound with deep rumbling bass, as this speaker is not aimed for that market. However, do expect excellent sound quality, with just enough bass and very clear mid and high tones from a small compact unit. Having played a range of genres on the speaker, it handles them all really well. From indie to rock to dance and pop, they all sound great. More importantly this speaker sounds fab for such a portable unit, you will be pushed to find anything better! If you're looking for a light weight solid built portable speaker, which you can just throw into your rucksack this seems to tick all the boxes. I have been using this a lot outside so far and the sound still travels well. The Bluetooth range also seems really good as I've had no dropouts at all so far. The battery life is excellent, played music over 8 hours off the one single charge. There is a useful 80's style voice indicating whether the battery is Low Medium or High, and the same voice will also speak out when connecting devices to the speaker. If you pair your phone the speaker will also tell you who is calling when receiving a phone call which is useful. You can also answer the phone and use the built in mic to take the phone conversation, without actually touching your phone at all! I would also recommend using the Bose Connect App as this really does help with getting to use some of the great features. The app instantly picks up the speaker ready to play music to. Updates to the software is also a cinch to do. Bluetooth connections, voice prompts, auto off timer and the speakers name can all be managed from my iPhone using the app. The only thing missing is an equaliser to make finer sound adjustments. This can be overcome with a 3rd party app though. One thing that Bose really should supply with this speaker is a plug. All you get in the box is a USB cable to charge the battery with. I have been extremely pleased with the speaker so far, it doesn't disappoint, big sound from a small unit. An excellent choice and one I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a speaker that sounds fantastic, and can be taken just about anywhere.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) My first was the original one of this kind. Loved it. Purchased the newer model and the sound is even better BUT it does not warn you when battery is low (it goes from medium level to completely off in just a few minutes). The whole batt charge does not last long! I would not get black again in the Bose 2 as it's hard to see the little on buttons etc.
