Bose SoundLink Color II review

(Rating Hidden)

The second generation of a hugely popular Bose wireless speaker, the SoundLink Color II arrives amid huge expectations. The American audio stalwarts are renowned for top-quality audio, but its speakers haven't always performed impeccably in our tests....

Bose SoundLink Color II

The Bose SoundLink Color II speaker delivers a strong Bluetooth audio experience in a compact, outdoor-friendly design.

Solid audio performance with rich lows and well-defined highs. Easily portable, water-resistant design. Simple to operate. Useful free app.

Not for audio purists or those seeking a huge bass sound. Light on accessories.

For its size, the Bose SoundLink Color II delivers a very solid audio experience, with rich lows matched with crisp highs. Anyone seeking a massive subwoofer-like sound, or a super-accurate sound signature, will need to spend more money on a larger,...

Bose SoundLink Color II review: Small in stature, big on sound

Modestly redesigned, the next-generation SoundLink Color is an excellent compact Bluetooth that's water-resistant, has speakerphone capabilities, and improved sound.

Like its predecessor, the Bose SoundLink Color is a compact portable Bluetooth speaker that delivers impressive sound for its size (the sound is improved) and 8 hours of battery life. It's now water-resistant and adds speakerphone capabilities.

Soft-to-the-touch finish attracts dusts and lint. No AC adapter included.

Modestly redesigned, the next-generation SoundLink Color is an excellent compact Bluetooth speaker that's water-resistant and has speakerphone capabilities, as well as improved sound.

Good all round Bluetooth Speaker

A very good all round speaker, I found it difficult to set up because of my Brain Injury. But very easy to use once it is set up.

brilliant

I bought 2 of these on July 2018. Downloaded the app, and MAJOR WOW. These are so cool to run bluetooth from my phone - sounds like a Hi-Fi. I cant recommend these speakers enough. Loud, great bass and quality. Very light and shower-proof.
