Bose SoundLink Color II: Portable Bluetooth, Wireless Speaker with Microphone- Polar White

I’ve been using the Bose SoundLink Color II for a few months now, and it’s quickly become my go-to speaker for both indoor and outdoor use. It packs surprisingly rich sound into a small, lightweight design. What I Like: Clear, Balanced Audio: The sound is crisp and clear, with excellent mids and highs. It handles vocals and acoustic tracks beautifully. Compact and Portable: It’s small enough to toss in a bag or backpack, making it perfect for travel, beach days, or backyard get-togethers. Water-Resistant Build: The soft-touch exterior is durable and splash-proof, which adds peace of mind when using it outdoors. Easy Pairing & Controls: Bluetooth pairing is quick and simple, and the onboard controls are intuitive and responsive. Built-In Mic: The speakerphone feature works well for quick calls without needing to reach for my phone. What to Know: Battery Life: I typically get around 8 hours on a full charge, which is fine for day trips, but I do top it off before longer outings. Not a Bass Monster: If you’re looking for deep, thumping bass, this isn’t it—but the sound is very well-balanced for its size. Final Thoughts: The Bose SoundLink Color II offers excellent sound quality in a compact, travel-friendly package. It’s ideal for casual listening and everyday use—whether you're relaxing at home or on the go. Highly recommend for anyone who wants quality sound without the bulk.

The fact that I am reviewing this positively, is saying something. I rarely spend time with positive reviews, but this is too good to NOT tell others about. I have previously owned the Anker speaker sold here on amazon for between $20 and $30 and the sound is actually not that bad and the battery life on that unit was impressive, but I accidently left that behind at a hotel and decided to get the Bose as my replacement. This thing is awesome! From, the deepest 30hz bass to the highest tweets and everything in-between, this Bose speaker, like every other Bose product I have owned in the past, produces the most RICH, CLEAN, high quality sounds of any sound producing devices out there, in my opinion. It's almost like a magic trick as most people that hear it can't believe the rich sound is coming from the little 5x5 speaker. The device is encased in a thick dense carbon/plastic type case that feels and sounds like hard wood, when you knock or thump on it, then the entire unit is wrapped in a thick ruggedized layer of silicon rubber coating to making it not only waterproof, but easier to grip and allows you to toss it around like and old tool in your toolbox without damaging or causing any blemishes that would normally occur over time with normal day-to-day use. and if it gets dirty, you7 can just wash it, since it is waterproof. The buttons have a nice soft rubberized textile click when pressed. I would, however, have liked them to be raised up a bit rather than flush for the occasional "no look" adjustments. The volume has 100 steps rather than the typical 10 which is nice for fine tuning the volume. Also, there is an integrated microphone that makes for a superior quality handsfree experience when connected to your phone via Bluetooth for phone calls. Power Supply is NOT included, like all major phone and speaker brands, they have gotten away from including the adapter. I have seen the reviews of people saying the unit wouldn't charge, but I want to assure you that the issue isn't with the Bose device, it is the charger, cord, or user error that is the issue. And to be fair, I still think Bose and other manufactures should include the charger and cord. (especially when it has a minimum power requirement in order to charge effectively.) If you ever have any issues with charging, you probably don't have a high enough watt/amp power block. You need a minimum of 1.8AMP - 2AMP and above is even better to get it to a full charge quickly. I see a lot of reviews of people complaining that it won't charge. It will charge, just needs enough juice to do so. Charging adapters are cheap enough, just go buy a 2 AMP+ chargers. (and don't cheap out on the charging cord, those cheap cords that came with your made-in-china product you ordered off Wish or Alibaba isn't going to cut it.) I do wish the charging adapter type was USB-C and not MicroUSB. Most of my devices now use the USB C type charger. This really isn't a bad thing so much as a convenience factor as it would be nice to have only one type of wire/tip for everything rather than have 100 different types of charging wires laying around. The battery life in testing is about 11 hours at medium-high volume. on a typical day I turn it on in the morning when I wake up and then continue to listen to it at my desk at low volume which takes me through a typical 10 hour work day without needing to be charged. It has voice prompts when you turn it on. but this feature can be disabled through the phone app. It also has multi-device sync giving the ability to sync with my laptop and phone at the same time, which is nice because my windows sounds and my music can live together in harmony. It is waterproof! I use this thing in the shower. nothing better than having rich quality music while showering. This is an EASY 5 out of 5 stars. I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone for a wide diversity of applications! you will not regret the purchase.

I had the older Bose soundlink and I loved that one. I had it for a very long time, I got a ton of use out of it. The charging port somehow got moved and it was really hard to charge I had to literally hold it in. So I got this one a week or so ago and WOW! The sound quality is so much better than the older one! There are a bunch of new features, some annoying like it will read the number when someone calls. That drove me crazy but eve ty thing can be turned off. I like it. I’m afraid I won’t get the use out of the party mode, it sounds interesting but I don’t see much use for me personally. Oh the app that is recommended for whatever reason isn’t that good, maybe it’s user error but it kept freezing my phone and my phone is current on updates. I know this review isn’t for the app sorry I get side tracked! Ok for a Bluetooth speaker in the medium (this is medium to me idk I guess there are crazy expensive speakers out there...?) anything this speaker is perfect for me and for my usage! I use it practically all day and night, at night I plug it in and listen to sleep stories or sleepscapes on the calm app and it’s amazing it sounds so great!! I love the size i love that it is water resistant, this is the perfect little speaker!

Super light, with powerful sound. We have had this bluetooth wireless speaker for years and it's still a staple for our family!

Clear and refined sounds from a compact speakers. Good value from Bose during the Black Friday sales

Muito bom

Love it!

This is my quintessential speaker for around the house nowadays - used when cooking, doing chores, working out, having people round. Sound quality is great, plenty of bass (when back of speaker is next to a wall) which is nice. Easy to connect/disconnect devices and stay paired. Pretty lightweight and compact considering the sound power generated. Battery life is ok, doesn't last for a full house party (~8 h) when used at a decent volume, even when fully charged; leaving it on charge is the obvious solution, but then of course it's no longer portable. In my house layout this isn't a problem, but it may be annoying for others. Also, in my case, the rubbery outside is very slightly mis-fitted such that the micro-USB port is a bit obstructed - just means I have to be careful inserting the plug, this does not affect charging effectiveness. Overall very much worth the money, Bose speakers almost always are imo.

Wow product. Amzing clarity. Moving with the technology, ideal to have this Bose speaker eventhough it is pricy. Must say that value fo money in all respect. So easy to connect with phone and play the songs. Good part is that it can be charged and used any where. Durung play if phone call comes you can know with name if it is registered with your phone. Blindly you can buy if you can push or plan your budget.
