Charger wire doesn't stay in the charging hole :(
We have bought three of these over the last three years bc we love Bose products. However, none of the chargers will stay in the charging hole, and right now I can't listen to music from any of the speakers. Looking for spare chargers on this site, and I don't see any. :(

Great bluetooth speaker but has battery issue
I bought the Sounlink Color II 4 months ago. Great sound and portability. Recently it stopped charging and despite the instructions in the manual to reset it, it failed. I understand by the reviews that this is a frequent problem. It appears that once it goes into battery protection mode, it frequently is unable to allow recharging. Bose should rectify it.

Great sound & Portable
My son was given 1. My husband loved it and he got 1 for Christmas. I have flown with it twice (easy to pack in carry-on) and set it up in the hospital room to play quiet music while visiting. Such great sound. Nurses and staff kept trying to figure out where the sound came from. I didn't have pairing issues. It has been fantastic to use! This is so convenient to have great sound in a purse. Love the grip on the rubber.

Disappointed
I was a huge fan of all Bose products. Received my SoundLink as a x-mas gift 2 years ago, and it stopped working. Won't charge, or power up. Worked very well up until now. I won't purchase another one. Waste of money

Doesn't last!
I have 8 of these and every single one of them except one has issues with the USB port on the speaker where I plug the original cable that they came with in yet it doesn't charge. So, I have 7 of these dead in a cabinet taking up space but I don't want to throw them away. Some of them I've only had for a few months.

Great sound till it blows the speaker
Owned this for approx one year... the speaker blew so now the bass rattles and sounds like garbage and even worse, the charger port overheated and essentially burned out so I can't charge with a USB cord anymore and it's nearly impossible to find a charging cord for the round ac charge plug. Wish I bought something else. Disappointed.

Poor Quality Product-Poor Quality Sound
I love Bose products and own several. I wanted a decent quality bluetooth speaker so I picked up the Bose. From day one I was underwhelmed by the quality and the sound. The sound is muffled and even at full volume just feet away it is not very loud. Maybe I got a lemon or maybe this product is just a miss. I have only used this maybe a dozen times over the last 90 days as I didn't like the quality of the sound. My cheap bluetooth speaker needed charging so I used this one today. Once I turned off the power and tried to turn it back on it would not turn on. I plugged it into the wall and it stated "Battery Fully Charged". It also turned on the minute I plugged it in (feature?). I want my electronics to turn on when I turn them on not when I plug them into the wall to charge. This speaker for some reason always seems to be on even after I turn it off. Unfotunately as of today it will speak to me and say it is charged or connected to XXXX but will not work otherwise. Some products are just lemons as this one seems to be. My guess is you will see more and more negative reviews now that this has been on the market for a few months.

Loved it till it died
I had this speaker for 1.5 years and then it just died. I was listening to music and then it just wouldn’t turn on again. No amount of charging will make it turn on. Super disappointing. I thought this speaker would have lasted longer.

DOESN'T HOLD A CHARGE
After just one year of having this speaker it would no longer charge. Multiple complaints of this same issue with this speaker. Wish it would work because it had great sound. Unfortunately it seems these speakers are designed to break after the warranty.

To much $$$$ for life of speaker!!!
I purchased my speaker approximately a year and a half ago. I'm over 40 and used it MAYBE 50 times. Sound was GREAT, but one day it just decided to not charge any longer. My kids have MUCH cheaper speakers that have been through A LOT more abuse and they are still working great. I buy a top notch speaker, I expect top notch quality!!!!!!!!!

I was gifted this speaker and have enjoyed using it. The plug in to charge it has never fit well and required wiggling to get it to work. The plug broke and now it is unusable. Don’t know how to get a new one.

Absolutely Brilliant!
I bought this speaker a week ago, in the fun electric blue color, I'm so happy with this speaker and I love how it can connect to my computer and my phone, plus remeber multiple devices. It has a great bass and the sound itself is very clear, I only use this for music so I'm not sure how it handlesvoice calls. But I would reccomend this speaker for anyone who wants a small but LOUD spekaer. It took me less than a 5 minutes to set everything up, I do wish it came with a longer charing cable but other than that it's perfect. This is a must buy!

The best sound!
I received one of these BOSE speakers for Christmas in 2016 and used it so much that my wife bought me another for my office at work.
I bring it home on the weekend and use both of them at my pool on “party mode” as it’s called.
The sound, durability and battery life is beyond words.
Thanks BOSE!

Great Accessory to Have!
I've had this speaker for a little over a year now and it has done everything it's advertised. It's been dropped, water has been spilled on it, it's been in extreme heat (and whilst playing music as well at full-blast), and it last a really long time (depending on how loud the music is). I recommend this speaker if you are looking for something that will not break the bank, but has a superior sound compared to it's competitors in it's class.

Great speaker besides the charging issues!
I've had this speaker for almost a year. It holds a charge alright, but when it does die, it takes several tries to get it to come back on. Very frustrating. As of now, it is dead and I haven't been able to get it to come on in weeks. I've tried different charging cables and the tips I've read from others who have this problem. Still nothing.

Bose Soundlink is AWESOME!!!!
I have now owned this product for just under a year and can say the sound is fantastic, the battery life is very good and its great if you decide to connect it to your laptop in a hotel to have great sound while watching movies. In fact the sound was so good I had to turn it down because you can feel every action shot so clear and loud while watching action movies. I have taken this to the beach with my wife and had the volume very low and still had excellent sound from it. I use it outside while smoking cigars and listening to music by the fire pit again with such great clarity and excellent sound. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants great sound in a small package you can take anywhere. I use it in my office while working and enjoy the sound. It is well worth the money.

SOUND IS GREAT BUT.......
THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY YOU MUST NOT LEAVE THE SPEAKER ATTACHED TO THE CHARGING SOURCE BUT IF YOU DO NOT THE BATTERY WILL NOT HOLD A CHARGE FOR VERY LONG. THIS IS MEANT TO BE USED CONSTANTLY TO BE ANY GOOD AT ALL. THE SOUND IS EVERYTHING YOU CAN EXPECT FROM BOSE. THE DURABILITY IS PROBABLY GOOD BUT YOU HAVE TO USE IT ALL THE TIME TO ENSURE INTEGRITY. I WAS NOT USING IT AS OFTEN AS IT REQUIRES AND THEREFORE IT IS NOT WORKING.

Good small speaker but no VOIP (skype, whatsapp)
I like the sound of it.
My problem is no VOIP calls can be done with your phone while Bluetooth is connected. Speaker says "CALL ENDED"
You can make "regular call" but it took 3 days, couple of emails and phone call for BOSE support to accept that NONE of the Bose speakers can be used via Bluetooth to make whatsapp or Skype calls. I really wished Bose could support such a basic function via Bluetooth

Simply Awesome
Typical Bose excellence. Amazing sound out of a small speaker. I've been wanting one for a few years, ever since I heard one at my daughter's recital. Her accompanist use one for backup music, and I could not believe how it filled up the entire room. I love my Bose Soundlink speaker!! I got the black one, just so it blends into my office. This will go with me when I travel to Asia, as I listen to a lot of music in my hotel when I'm working or relaxing. It will also go camping with us. I've not had it long, so I cannot comment on it's durability, but it seems very well built.

Very disappointed
I got this portable speaker as a Christmas gift in December 2016. I specifically asked for it because of the Bose reputation for quality. Now after less than two years it won't recharge. I also had the issues mentioned in some other reviews about losing the Bluetooth connections, but at least when I had the connection, the sound was great. But now that it won't charge, it's just an expensive paperweight.

On its own level!
LOOK: The visual design is subtle yet bold and playful yet refined. It has perfectly balanced standing out in the market and fitting in, in your daily life.
FEEL: It wasn't what I expected to feel the first time I held it. The outside is made of a high quality silicon (or rubber?) type material. It feels soft, durable and has grip. Then the weight and density of the whole speaker feels sturdy and we'll balanced.
SOFTWARE/CONTROLS: Understanding how to operate the speaker and it's functions is simple and intuitive. The Bose voice will give you information when necessary. Including the power level at start up and names of connected devices.
SOUND: The sound is absolute top quality, with rich deep bass and clear crisp highs. Volume is no issue as the speaker will blast sound, filling a full two-story home. This is, TRUELY, the way artists intended their art to be heard.
Only Con: There is no AI Assistant. I think it is priced alighted high for no assistant, by about $10.
Although I would be willing to pay $10 more than it's current price, of Google Assistant was included.
If Amazon Alexa was included, then I would be willing to pay around $60 for the whole thing!
and with Bixby, for $25 total.
PRODUCT GETS 5 OUT OF 5 STARS,
OR 9 OUT OF 10 STARS FROM ME.

I bought this speaker to use in my PE classes but haven't been able to use it as much as I'd like because it turns off and will not turn back on unless I go through several silly steps I had to find on youtube in order to get it to function again. I honestly thought this product would work better. I wont buy another Bose product.

Serious design flaw
I bought 2 of these speakers for work. They BOTH stop working with full charge. Also when they completely die they will not charge!. I tried the " hold the multi charge button for 10s and so" did not work. I've updated the drivers and it worked a few times. I also have the 1st version of the speaker and I have no problems with that one. I looked like an idiot at work for recommending these speakers. Also my students were using these for a contest and were forced to perform with out the accompaniment. Thanks Bose.

Great sound!
I took my SoundLink Color on our week vacation to the beach. It was so convenient & the sound was impressive. The battery lasted at least 8 hours as advertised. My only complaint is that the charging port needs a cover. It was never dropped in the sand but there’s a gritty sound when plugging in the charging cord. Overall, I’m happy with the speaker.

Would be a decent speaker if it actually worked...
I bought this speaker a few years ago and have had problems with it from the start. I have only used it a handful of times. It won't turn on unless its plugged in (even if it's fully charged) and dies very quickly. I usually need to plug it in for a while before it will even turn on. Definitely a waste of money. Bose's worst product.

Survived the trials of life.
Honestly if you are looking for any other product stop now and get any boss wireless speaker. I have the bigger version of the Bose SL Bluetooth speaker and it has been a blessing. This thing has taken the place of a real life dj at many parties and camp fires. I absolutely love my speaker. I have had it for 5 years now and it has survived being in the shower with me every day taking intense amounts of steam and weird singing (warning, increases shower time by at least 20 min), the smoke from campfires every week, blazing hot sun, travel, being completely submerged in water when our boat tipped over (yes it still plays amazingly today), and being dropped or hit (accidents happen). I suggest definitely getting this speaker it works amazingly and truly stands above all of their competition.

Sounds great but...
Picked up this speaker today. After testing a bunch in the same price range we decided to go with this little guy, the sound was superior to the competitors but I have two cons. First, it should at least come with a power block for changing. Thanks for the usb cord but now I have to use my phone base to charge this speaker. Second, I’m the type of guy who like to calibrate my devices to my liking, the fact that I can’t adjust the treble or anything slightly upsets me... but it still sounds good.

I bought this as a gift for my husband for Christmas. We used it once or twice over the holidays, and it went into a closet until warmer weather arrived (planned to use on our patio). We just got it out, and it is COMPLETELY DEAD. We’ve tried charging it over and over to no avail. This thing cost in excess of $100, and we got maybe ten minutes of use out of it.

Great sound, worst experience. Do not buy.
I never thought a small Bluetooth speaker would be so good and bad at the same time. I'm amazed at the clear sound it can produce, very clean bass notes for my ears in any room. Problem is, if you don't charge it often enough, it will lock down and won't receive any charge, and no, the 10-12 second multi-function button press troubleshoot does not work. So, paperweight. I just can't understand how such a serious company can make such horrible mistakes. This Bluetooth speaker concept is not new, how can they make such a big flaw with their product that everyone that buys it has to go through the Internet searching and customer service to revive such a simple product.

Great sound and decent price!
I bought one a few months back, and liked it so much I bought another. I've had it in several places in the house, including the garage, and have always thought the quality and clarity of the music has been unsurpassed. Sure a proper lager stereo system will beat this, but that's not what I'm looking for ATM.

Worst Design
Our 3rd portable Bose Speaker, 2nd bluetooth model. Connects to other devices that aren’t being used for speaker. The charging cord is super short and will only plug in to certain outlets because the plug-in part is a flat rectangle. We had to have the cord replaced once already because it’s a chintzy plug and so short you have to be careful not to bend the connecting part that’s super chintzy. Hard to believe that Bose designed something like this. It’s not as loud as the older model speaker.

Defective power connection
I have the original speaker and it's poorly designed, as the connection from the power chord to the speaker is not a tight fit. Therefore, the power is constantly going in and out. I have a black speaker and they will only exchange it for a salmon colored speaker II. What a joke!!!

Fantastic Product, Fantastic Price
I am ordering my 4th speaker. About 2 years ago I ordered one for my home to use when working around the house. I liked it so much that I ordered a 2nd for my office. I then ordered a 3rd as a gift for one of my kids-I actually got tired of her using MY speaker. I am now ordering my 4th, as a gift, for my 80 year old mother who just moved out of her home and into an apartment. Due to the "downsizing" and the inability to move all of her "comforts of home" along with her cable access now being more limited, I know that this speaker will allow her to, with her phone and laptop, be able to connect with her talk radio shows and music that she likes to listen too. I can't wait to give it to her. I honestly think it will help her adjust to her entering her next phase of life. Thank you very much. Nice Job Bose!!

Conflicted
I’ve always loved this speaker, it’s got great sound and good warm bass, plus a long battery charge. Now, however I can’t get it to reset to factory settings. But at least it still works, ive just got so many random Bluetooth destinations registered: old phones, friends phones, etc. and no way to get rid of them. Holding down on the power button is supposed to reset it to factory settings.

Sounds incredible!
I was amazed bat the difference between playing music from my phone and my Bose speaker. It's so clear and sounds like a suround sound. Easy to use, batteries last forever, light weight and for clumsy hangs like mine it's easy to grab. I absolutely love it. Not too big not small. Just perfect.

Hmmm. Not good enough
The best sound of all the wireless bluetooth devices. It has power enough to put readable sound across the rooms, but high and medium frecuencies seems drowned on the low/bass ones. That means the sound has not distinguishable sound planes but a thick dough, high and medium frecs are not as clear and clean even with hq sound signal. It like mp7. But not regrets, is fun and you can dance out of it.
After total energie discharge, mine has been 7 hours connected and has no life signals.......hope for the best

Excellent Little Companion
I bought the original SoundLink Color and it connected and played my music flawlessly! The charging factor is quite normal for devices of this type (or any type as a cell phone-you must charge the device before first use). AIfter a year (I think) I gave it to a friend as a gift in the hopes that I would get another one. Needless to say, I really miss having that little powerhouse. So, I will be getting another (SoundLink II). I would recommend this speaker to anyone who is on the go and likes to have music at their disposal. Its portable, stylish and has boomin' sound!

Junk
Each speaker needed to update when purchased (1.5 hours EACH!). Finally, I get them to sync in stereo but then I found out that I have to re-sync each time. Why can these just be 'plug and play'? After several hours trying to get them to work, I realize that they have some SERIOUS lag and while they play music fine, if I play a video or anything where lag is a issue then the speakers are just unusable.

Great Sound
I bought this speaker over the weekend because I had been wanting it since it came out. I am so glad I made this choice because it it absolutely wonderful. No issues setting it up and connecting to my iphone and the music sounds like it is coming from a large stereo. Easy to pack for the beach.

Great sound! Big connectivity issues!
I've had the original Bose Soundlink Color since 2015 and when it comes to sound quality it has been a top notch experience. The bass, treble and mids maintain a nice clarity with very little distortion at high volumes, which I found impressive, especially, for a speaker of this size. The portability is awesome! I've taken this speaker to the beach, on picnics, basketball games, showers(lol), etc. The battery life was awesome, as well! However, I have been experiencing some connectivity issues. It never stays connected to any of my devices. I constantly have to reconnect my speaker to my devices and it's quite annoying. It's gotten worse with time...now it takes about 5-10 minutes of me playing with the speaker in order to keep a consistent connection. The software on my devices stay up to date. I even plugged my speaker into the my computer to check the "Bose Updater" program for any type of software updates for the speaker, still no luck. Overall, great product when it comes to design and sound quality but I think I'll have to find another bluetooth speaker. Sadly, the connectivity issues just isn't worth it.

Great sound. Iffy connectivity
Great sound. But my wife expects not having to solve a puzzle. You shouldn't have to solve a puzzle every time. When I first downloaded the Bose Connect on the iPad it couldn't have been easier. Just swipe. Now that we have connected to a couple different devices though, that doesn't work anymore. It makes you go to settings, I mean, what's the point of the app then if I have to go to settings and select. Even then it doesn't work and I have to remove the device then put it back on again. Awful. Just Awful garbage. I hate when bluetooth goes all diva on me like that. I expect more from Bose. Great sound though.

Christmas gift- I was able to pair with my iPhone the first day I opened it. It has not paired again. Trouble shooting does not help.

Dissatisfied
Received for a Christmas gift. Already own a pair of QC2 headphones, so I’m familiar with Bose products. I am thoroughly disappointed with the sound quality. It seems Botse spent so much energy ensuring they could get good bass out of a small enclosure that they killed the midrange. This thing sounds like you stuck it under a pillow. There are favorite parts of my music I can barely hear. I can have it speak to me in 50 different languages, but there’s no way to adjust the equalization. Since it’s a gift l’m stuck with it, but if I had an option, I’d look for a cheaper alternative which more faithfully reproduced my music.

Great Doorstop
Started giving me problems after a few months. Battery problems, start up problems, then finally stopped pairing with my device. Speaker echos, gets fuzzy, shuts off with 50% battery charge. After hours of trying to pair this to my device, I give up, bose, you got me. My first, and last, bose product.

Excellent, but....
I've had this speaker for 2 years now and for the most part I LOVE IT, besides the fact thst after a few weeks having it, the bose speaker wouldn't turn on or charge. After some research I found out this speaker has an automatic setting to completely turn it off and u have to use the step by step instructions to turn it back on (restart bose speaker) no big deal right??? Well it's been about 2 years now and now the Bose speaker has stopped charging all together, only at certain angles will It charge. I've used different chargers and outlets but nope. What good is a speaker if I can't charge it properly. Very disappointed and I honestly recommend getting a different speaker opposed to this one, which after reading more reviews online I have found out this is a common issue.

Great Speaker - Wish there was an EQ adjustment
Bought this after listening to many different portable speakers. Bose sound and quality is unsurpassed and I have owned many Bose products. This is a great out of the box portable speaker. I wish Bose would add the ability for an adjustable EQ via a Firmware update for use in the Bose Connect + app. There is a need to add some additional treble and reduce some of the bass, especially when playing at a louder level. Could use a slight adjustment at normal levels as well.
Overall great speaker, but hopeful for EQ adjustment ability in the near future. :-) That's my one wish for this speaker!
Good product... Would give 5 stars if it had an EQ adjustment.

Great Speaker
I’m a high school student and this is a great option for listening to music at home, on the go, or anywhere i go. This speaker has great sound quality and is super durable, I’ve taken it into the pool and it has had no problems. 10/10 in my opinion, really recommend!

It worked well until it did not work anymore. It no longer charges after just five months of very light usage.

Plug design is awful
Love this speaker but HATE the design of the plug. It's way too fragile. Bump it a couple of times and it breaks. I've had to replace the plug 5 times in 2 years. Every time the speaker tips over it damages it.

Awesome Sound In A Small Package
I purchased my BOSE Soundlink Bluetooth Speaker over 2 months ago and I just love it! You can hear the highs, mids, and lows and are all perfectly balanced. I'm a 35-year professional musician, therefore my ears are keen to sound and sound (audio) means a great deal to me. I instinctively know when something sounds good or not.
For me, this little power house serves it purpose, and its portability and water-resistant casing is a plus. I recently traveled on a vacation with it visiting family for a week and it stayed fully charged the whole time - even though I brought it with me, my AC adapter was not needed. I even pitched this speaker to my family!
This is a brand I can trust for its durability and performance values, and when I trust a brand, I stay with that brand a very long time.
