Bose SoundLink Color Review

Bluetooth speakers are a must-have if you’re looking to host a small party and you need something that can play your music library with great sound fidelity, at a great volume. Bose SoundLink Color is one of the Bluetooth speakers you definitely need to check out if you’re looking for a quality build that doesn’t cost a fortune. However, given the fact the speaker is not the cheapest on the market, either, you can be sure you’re going to have a good time while listening to music played through it.

The design of the Bose SoundLink Color puts emphasis on minimalism, while also retaining some retro elements that you will surely enjoy. You can fit the speaker in your palm, as it measures no more than 13.5 centimeters on its widest side, while the other dimensions are 12.7 cm and 5.3 cm. Given these dimensions, you might feel the speaker is a bit heavy, but it barely weighs more than half a kilo. Speaking again about the realm of the design, you can purchase the speaker in a wide variety of colors, so you can easily find the one that suits you the most. Whether you’d like a conservative black or eccentric mint green shade, Bose has got you covered.

The Bose SoundLink Color has a good quality battery, and a full charge will last for about 8 hours of continuous playback, so you can be sure the party you’re about to host will not end too soon. The battery can be easily recharged via USB, and it will take about three hours for this to complete. However, the speaker is best used in a smaller room, so you shouldn’t try and have it playing music in a large living room. If you enjoy the speaker in your bedroom, for example, you can also experience the high quality sound output this Bose product can deliver. However, if you crank up the volume too high, you will notice that sound gets a bit distorted.

The buttons are located on the upper side of the Bose SoundLink Color speaker, so you can easily access them. Each of them is labeled in a simple way, so using the speaker is a rather intuitive process. Pairing is also done with ease, and in a matter of seconds you can have it play your favorite music library entries. What’s important to know is that you can pair the speaker not just with one, but with two devices at the same time. Whether they both run the same OS, or you have an Android and an iOS device, you can have them paired simultaneously. However, only one device can output music to the speaker at a given time.

A small downside of the Bose SoundLink Color is the lack of speakerphone features. This would have added a great deal of versatility to the speaker, but it can already do a lot on its own. Although stereo separation is not available, you can still enjoy great music played through this speaker.
