Style, Solid Build, Steep Price - The Story of the Bose Soundlink Revolve

Reviewed in India on 19 October 2018

Buy it if you love brand ‘Bose’ and have a special place for ergonomics in your platter of perceptions. Sound quality is really good with the bass component being the best. In particular, it reproduces strings really well. Further, vocals sound slightly suppressed vis-a-vis the instruments. Battery life is modest at 5-6 hrs if used at 80-100% volume levels. Overall, the speaker is a good one, with great ergonomics but is not a value for money buy.

Used for 18 Months. A number of issues and Pathetic customer support

Reviewed in India on 24 July 2019

Hi,
If you want to go for the bose consider this
1. I purchased this system in Dec 2018 , writing review in Jul 2019.
2. The system became faulty in jan 2019 and started showing red blinking light.
3. A life time shock came to me when i asked their customer support for repair and i was told to send the package via courier to Gurgaon service centre ( From Rawat bhata near kota rajasthan to Gurgaon )
4. The centre took its time and sent me a replacement cable, again same issue started in Jun 19. I was busy with work and contacted the customer support in jul. I have been again asked to send it back to the gurgaon repair centre . In addition i will bear the cost of courier + repair charges.
5. MAJOR DISADVANTAGES OF BOSE
(a) They do not have customer support like other companies.
(b) They have most unprofessional customer support.
(c) You will be lucky if you find the customer support numbers easily, just speak on that number and see their way
of speaking
(d) Bose which costed 3 x times of JBL went faulty twice in less than 18 months.
6. I am writing this review to alert you so that you people dont waste your hard earned money for name sake.
7. If you do not live in delhi Avoid it like HEll. Or repent like me later.

Sound reproduction - NOT AT ALL impressive :(

Reviewed in India on 11 August 2019

Verified Purchase

I wish I wouldn't have to write such a review for a Bose product. But now that I have to...

You don't get the richness of sound (bass and ambience effect) from this speaker. I have a noise cancelling Bose headphone, and I expected similar sound reproduction from this device, but it miserably failed me.

All other aspects (build quality, NFC-based connection (although I had a few disconnections while playing music), water-resistant, etc.) are fine. But what's the point, if the sound reproduction is not impressive?

And the worst part is that YOU CANNOT RETURN although you're paying 17000 INR for this device. Don't be taken away by Amazon's "10-days returnable" label - that's HIGHLY MISLEADING - read the documentation on "10-days returnable" label thoroughly before you decide to buy. Speakers are not returnable if you are not happy with the purchase. Now I have to live with a substandard Bose product.

I'm having buyer's remorse against both Bose and Amazon - that's terrible!

Rich and 360 sound are worth it

Reviewed in India on 24 July 2018

Verified Purchase

Great product. The sound is rich and loud with a 360 experience. Compared with its junior version soundlink mini its better with both indoor and outdoor and its worth the upgrade. The packing was a lil loose and like all bose products the pricing is on the higher end when u compare with other portable speakers but u dont get richer sound than this..its optimally balanced

Stopped working on 10th day !

Reviewed in India on 8 October 2019

Verified Purchase

Never Expected such brand to produce faulty product.
Out of nowhere, All the 3 lights turned on and speaker stopped working.
Unable to reset or do any troubleshooting available on the Bose website.
The speaker was kept very carefully, no dust or water could've entered the speaker body.

Trying to return and go for Cheaper speakers available which I am sure will work at least for one year without a problem.

I don't know If I should stop others to buy Bose products, but what's the use of going for such costly options if they can't survive. Cheers !

Update :
Got a new spraker in exchange for that. The new speaker is workimg fine as of now. No doubt that the sound of bose is nice. Thankfully I ordered the exchange within 10 days of buying the product. But what if the product showed the problem after 10th day? Maybe I would've been circling around the bise service centre and wasting my time more than the worth of this speaker.
I hope the new one works fine for at least 15 months, as I got it for 15000.

Superb sound. But keeps connecting to your device even after power off.

Reviewed in India on 27 March 2018

Sound is superb. However if you have kept your device’s Bluetooth on and try to power off Bose. It comes out of sleep or off mode like zombie and gets connected to the device repeatedly. It’s very irritating.

Works only with AVRCP(Bluetooth)

Reviewed in India on 5 August 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this to replace the JBL flip 2 speaker I was using for my SAMSUNG SMART tv. Once I got the product and paired it with the tv, I couldn't control the volume. Neither + nor - button would work. However, when I pared this Bose revolve with my phone(android) there was no such problem. I searched the internet and found that many people have the same problem and they have reported it to Bose in Europe and US since January 2018. Apparently this particular Bose speaker supports only AVRCP and SAMSUNG needs A2DP, these are Bluetooth protocols/formats. Most Bluetooth speakers support both AVRCP and A2DP. So I returned this and ordered a Sony XB41 speaker.

What a shame Bose! It is such a fantastic sounding speaker and it is so expensive but they don't have support for A2DP.

This may be good by bluetooth standards, but it sounds much worse than my Mid-2015 MacBook Pro speakers. There is a lot of clipping even at moderately high volumes, which my MacBook hardware has no problems handling.

I wouldn't complain if this cost a few thousand, but at 20,000, I'm surprised.

The only pro I can think of is that it's 360, which would be useful in certain situations.

Update: Another con I got to know is that this does not support the HSP Bluetooth profile. This means that you cannot play audio from VoIP apps on your phone, including Zoom, WhatsApp, Facebook messenger and Skype.

Superb but not for bass lovers.

Reviewed in India on 1 September 2020

Verified Purchase

Plus:
Superb clarity in sound
Perfect for watching movies
Very Loud
Awesome looks
Minus:
Though there is decent bass but that Punch in bass is missing for some songs...
Bass is completely lost in high volume..may be above 80%
No equalizer settings
Not water proof..it's only splashproof
Though Sony xb32 cannot beat the clarity of Bose it has beaten all the above minus points.
Finally go for Bose if you prefer clarity with average bass or you can opt Sony srs xb32 if you prefer bass with OK clarity.
