Nobody is claiming that they sound better than a good set of bookshelf speakers or than the less-portable wireless home audio systems like Sonos, but critics generally think that the Revolve is at the top of the enormous Bluetooth speaker heap for its small hand-held size. And they agree that the Revolve+, which is bigger, sounds even better. CNET feels that they sound “excellent”, and TechRadar lauds their “detailed and expansive sound” and rich bass. More importantly, they sound great, even to audio geeks. Customers generally fawn over their classy looks. These two speakers are single-piece aluminum cylinders with rubberized tops and bottoms. The bass is quite present compared to other speakers of its size, particularly when the Revolve is placed on a coffee table, which helps the low end gain presence without booming or becoming overemphasized. It easily filled a large living room with sound and animated our lovely soirée. In this section, we will take a closer look at these audio quality sub-scores and explain what they mean for the user, and we will show some comparison data from two of the SoundLink’s principal competitors, the LG XBoom Go PL 7 and the Sony SRS-XB43.Critical Meta-Review: How the Bose Soundlink Revolve and Revolve+ Actually Perform I tested the Bose Soundlink Revolve in front of a fireplace.
The DXOMARK Speaker overall score of 107 for the Bose SoundLink Revolve II is derived from a range of sub-scores. And the Bluetooth connectivity comes with an audio-video latency that makes it less than ideal for watching video content. At loud volume, strong compression induces noticeable pumping. Maximum volume is not loud enough, and the volume steps aren’t consistent overall. Attack is not precise on high-pitched instruments, while the lack of a lower spectrum impairs both bass precision and punch. Because of the setup, the device has no wideness (though Bose notes that it can be synched with a second device). In the bedtime and bathroom use cases, the 360-degree approach hinders distance rendering, with voices perceived as diffuse or as coming from the back of the device. At loud volume, on the other hand, tonal balance becomes very midrange-focused. At soft volume, tonal balance lacks some high-frequency content. The drawbacks of the SoundLink Revolve II include midrange rendering that is slightly inconsistent, with a small lack of upper mids. In the bathroom and bedroom use cases, the Bose SoundLink Revolve II’s 360-firing impinges on distance rendering. (For more details about our Speaker protocol, click here.) The Bose SoundLink Revolve II falls into the Essential category of devices in the DXOMARK Speaker rankings. Note that we evaluate playback using only the device’s built-in hardware.

We put the Bose SoundLink Revolve II through our rigorous DXOMARK Wireless Speaker test suite. All of which simply means you’ll get lifelike sound… and real-life goosebumps.” The brand promises 13-hour battery life and a fulfilling musical experience: “A highly efficient transducer. The brand improved the dust- and waterproofing of the device, achieving an IP55 rating, and Bose says that “water-resistant design means you can use it more places without worrying about an accidental showering of water, like by the pool or by the kitchen sink.” Bose also added an optional charging dock, another extra element of practicality. The Bose SoundLink Revolve II doesn’t look different than its predecessor, and indeed it seems the main differences are improvements meant to make this 360-degree wireless speaker more versatile and practical.
