Great Speaker in the beginning now not so much..
I received this about 6 months ago for a present. The speaker was really amazing, the quality was good with easy connection. But the last 2 months I have been having trouble with the speaker. It won’t play unless my phone is around wifi, it constantly connects and disconnects the volume isn’t working and recently just won’t even pair to any phone trying to connect. It was such an amazing speaker but now practically wont even work.

Great sound; only lasted 2 years
Generally love Bose speakers. Great sound. We bought two of these speakers and one only lasted 2 years. Pretty sad when you pay that much for a little speaker. Also wish we could sync it to our bigger Bose speaker.

Stopped Charging/Stopped Powering Up
I've had mine for almost 2 1/2 years. It's been one of the best speakers I've had. All of a sudden it stopped charging. I've tried everything - still doesn't work. I contacted Bose and I hope they can help. I have a Bose store near me - maybe I can walk in and ask if they can look at it as well. Hmmmmm...I also own a Bose SoudTouch 10, that one sounds amazing but takes forever to pair to my phone. I always have to turn it off and back on for it to pair. It's annoying...overall, I do enjoy the sound of both speakers. Just hate the issues they have.

I'm glad that I bought one because its small enough to carry around yet it gives off such an amazing body of music...regardless of the genre. It's all good in my book!!!

Save your money
Nothing but trouble from the very start. Battery goes into sleep mode, and will not turn on, or charge.
Sorry I spent my money on this. I spend more time trying to get it to work than I do using it. Wjsh I had my monet back so I could buy somethingelse.

As expected , the Bose sound quality is very good... however, as a former Bose employee, I'm somewhat disappointed. Although the sound quality is acceptable, the device lacks in other characteristics. My biggest disappointment is the level of volume where I'm often required to max it out to achieve marginal sound, particularly outdoors. Additionally, the connection between the device and the USB cable is not very robust. So far I've replaced the cable twice within a few years for bent/damaged plugs. Depending on the customer service representative answering the phone, they may replace it at no charge. I'm concerned about the receptacle on the device starting to show wear as well. The Bluetooth connectivity is also questionable often requiring the need to repair, but I can't tell if it's the device or my phone. It seems to be unique to the device. I have higher expectations from Bose and when the USB receptacle finally fails, I'm not convinced I will replace it with another Soundlink Color.

Battery eventually dies
I bought my first about 7 years ago. I have had 6 replacements - all because the battery slowly refused to hold a charge and then would not charge at all. The last one lasted almost 1 1/2 years - likely that long because I used in infrequently. Great sound but will never buy Bose again. Battery sucks.

Bose speaker.
Doesn't really get very loud, unsuitable for s party situation, but okay & fine for home listening, might be an okay option for a kids room, since it doesn't really rock you out of the house in terms of highest volume. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

terrible bluetooth
DO NOT BUY - great sound but terrible
bluetooth capability. For months the process of pairing it to my phone was usually a 5–10 minute ordeal, which is a lot when you just want to listen in the shower or while doing dishes. I just tried troubleshooting it with the bose instructions. Not only does it still not pair, but now it won’t even turn on reliably. It’s an expensive waste that cannot be relied on.

Future Of Bose Speaker Technology
Love the sound bass, the sound is so clear and makes me feel like when i'm listing to music or watching a movie. I won't buy any other speakers, headphones, or any product with sound I will buy it from Bose no matter the price i'll buy it. Buy this product its got good sound, the price is amazing , its the best brand of Speakers.

Charging port went out, normal use
I've only had my speaker for right at a year and now the speaker will not charge. I've tried other compatible chargers as suggested in a Bose support forum as well as holding/pressing start pause button 15 secs and neither worked. It's the charging port. So disappointed. Not what you expect from Bose.

Poor Quality
The silicon casing started coming loose at the bottom after just having it for 3 months. This is very disappointing because now the bass is ruined. The loose bottom peeling away has caused this constant vibrating sound if you play anything with bass. This is the second time this has happened.My first model was a model 2 as well it had the same problem. So I bought a new one thinking it was just a manufacturing error clearly not. I also keep the speaker in a case everywhere i go, and i treat it with care, so there should be no reason for this to happen.

GREAT SOUND QUALITY, OTHERWISE HORRIBLE
so the sound quality is really superior to other speaker brands.....however, there is an issue with the unit not charging VERY commonly. almost every other time I try to charge this device it wont charge and I have to hold down the multifunction button and unplug replug 5+ times to actually get the unit to charge. Have had times where it wouldn't charge for a week or so.

STOPPED WORKING AFTER ONLY 2 WEEKS!!!!!!
Purchased New at my Local Best Buy, Linked it to couple of Bluetooth devices to hear music a handful of times and within 2 weeks it STOPPED WORKIN! Would not Power On, Would NOT take a charge, Would NOT connect to see if it needed a software update, Basically became a paper weight after only 2 weeks and limited use...NOT GOOD BOSE, I will be more diligent in my future purchases, and BOSE will no longer be at the top of my list...

Decent Speaker
My wife and I got this as a Christmas present. She had heard it somewhere and loved the sound. It is easy to set up and sounds good, but not great. Some gripes that I have with it are that it has limited volume, and no battery indicator. If you like your music loud, you might want to shop around. It tells you what the power level is when you connect (I assume 5 is fully charged, as that's what it says when taken off the charger) but I think it would be nice to have some display to see the charge level.

It’s a pretty good speaker
It’s hard to complain about the Bose color soundlink 2 it’s really slick and smooth and it has great battery life, but I also had the Bose color soundlick 1 it’s it’s not that different other then the 2 is a little smaller they both have the Same amount of sound quality witch is really good but I expect more from the new one but the new one does have better splash resistance than the old one but I don’t use them around the pool or anything like that so I can’t get upset about that down side in all I think it deserves 4 stars

Loving the ‘versatility’ of this small speaker! Take it to the pool, the kitchen, etc... never a worry about it getting wet. As always- has rich, full Bose sound! Soon to pick up a Micro to pair with Color II- give me a bit more volume- and can get even closer to the pool, etc!!

Awesome
I use this speaker all day everyday.I drive a truck and the rubber coating locks the speaker tight between my dash and the windshield.I can stream all my favorite tunes. It's portable so when the day is over I toss it into my back pack and use it at home.I liked the sound so much I bought my Wife one for Christmas. It is very durable and the small size of the unit makes for easy transport and storage.

Favorite speaker
Connects seamlessly with my Android phone and iPad. Great sound, great volume range, resilient (dropped HARD several times). I like the design of the top face of the product: it allows it to get wet, and messy from times at the hot tub or times in the kitchen when I'm cooking with an easy wipe-down clean. The biggest fault I have found though is that not all micro usb chargers actually charge the speaker.

Great until it just dies and will never turn on.
The sound was good and I loved it for about two years and then it just died, would not turn on at all. I even went on utube and found that I was not the only one it happened to. This is a common problem with this device and I would not recommend it at all.

Great sound, controls are wonky
My wife got me one of these to use around the house. The sound quality is great, as you would expect from Bose, but the controls are oversimplified to the point of being difficult, if that makes any sense. Also, the battery drains pretty quickly if it's not plugged in, and it won't play until a certain level of charge is reached even if it's connected to an AC adapter. I would probably give it a 3.5 if half stars were allowed.

Excellent!
I bought this speaker for everything, when I take a shower, when I'm in the pool, for a small party, to travel and it's just perfect, the price, the quality of the sound, the weight of the speaker, the battery life are excellent. And you can use the bose connect app to control the speakers I actually bought two of them.

Needs Improvement...
The problem I have with this speaker is the location of the Micro usb port and the aux cord is way too close to each other. Over time the Micro usb cord becomes worn out and the AUX cord goes out with the audio too frequently. They should re-design the locations apart from one another and make a better connecting aux cable.

I can't live without this portable speaker.
I literally use it every day. It's very easy to connect and the sound is perfect. Only problem I cant find a direct electric cord because the battery runs down if you use it like i do. The charger is a little quirky. Other than that its perfect.

Glitchy
I just received my replacement for my original purchase. The original's battery stopped charging shortly after purchase. The new one will only connect as headphone (not a speaker) so restricted volume and power. I tried 2 devices and both have the same issue. Also you cannot turn this device off. If you power it off it will after 10 seconds turn back on and take back over the bluetooth connection of your device. I use headphones and a speaker if I decide to not use the speaker I really don't want my speaker deciding differently.

I have had this for about 9 months and i love it but about a month ago it wouldn't turn on without it being plugged in. Sometimes it turns on without problem. But, those times it won't turn on it says that its battery is full when i plug it in and turn it on. it is still usable and a good product, but i'm afraid that it will completely go out before a year is up

Has great sound but doesn't charge
I have had two of these speakers, and they both have had great sound. The first one I purchased was no longer charging so I asked for a second one for Christmas last year. After having had the second one for about 3 months, it would no longer charge at all. I tried different chargers, and tried placing it different ways to try and charge. I really like Bose so it's a bummer that these speakers don't hold the charge :(

I bought this one month ago and have barely used it. Now the USB jack is broken, and the speaker cannot charge. Very, very disappointed. I bought this speaker in the first place to replace a larger Bose that started fuzzing out after less than a year. I've been fooled twice by shoddy Bose quality and won't be fooled again.

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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!

Good sound, bad cord
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.

Great Sound, Great Price
I purchased this speaker about 2 years ago and I could be more happy with it. The quality of the sound is great. I have actually replaced my CD player with this as it has much better sound quality.

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!

Great sound, size, and price
I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker for my college dorm room that had good sound but wasn’t too expensive. This was the perfect speaker. Very happy with this purchase.

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.

Sound typical Bose with serious pairing/connection
Constant product connection failures and resetting to resolve. Be prepared to research, read trouble shooting and reset.

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.

I just purchased my third Sound Link. Every time I bring on home and play my music on it somebody "borrows" it. So I go get another one. Great sound from this speaker. The best sound in the price range and it's waterproof !

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.

Wont turn on
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.
