Perfect for the Casual Listener
I originally purchased the Bose SoundLink Revolve speaker because I listen to hours and hours of music every day. I ordered it without testing it in a store because I was impressed with my Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones and felt like I'd feel no different toward this. The speaker met my expectations for the most part. The first time I listened to music with the speaker, I thought the bass would be heavier. However, I'm quite pleased with the rich quality of sound the speaker puts out. I typically have the volume on my phone up all the way and the speaker about 25% or less of its maximum. I have turned the speaker up to its maximum volume only once and that was to test how loud it can get. I can confidently say I will never have to use the maximum volume in my 760 square foot apartment - if that says anything about how loud it can get (or how small my apartment is). The battery lasts a bit longer than the specs indicate. I easily use it over 16 hours over the weekend without charging it. Additionally, the speaker charges quite quickly. Despite having a 360 degree speaker, I still move the speaker around with me if I'm leaving one room to go to another because I usually take my phone with me wherever I go and the Bluetooth limit is approximately 30 feet. I have had some trouble with the connection when less than 30 feet away but with walls between the music source and the speaker. Additionally, a few times I've had my phone next to the speaker and it will still cut out for a second. I have tried to answer a few calls using the speaker but the person on the other end complains that I cut in and out or they just can't hear me period despite being next to the speaker. But that's obviously not why I purchased the speaker so I won't take a star off for that. I typically use Spotify Premium with the highest quality download options which I believe makes a difference in the quality of sound you get from the speaker. Overall, I'm pleased with the speaker as a casual listener of many different genres. I hope this very non-technical review helped!
