The one factor I really like greater than foisting my music on different individuals on the park is doing it with a speaker that delivers stable or above-average sound high quality. Whereas I haven’t had an opportunity to make use of Bose’s new moveable Bluetooth speaker, it looks like it may very well be an awesome choice for doing simply that.
Bose’s SoundLink Plus is a midrange Bluetooth speaker that may be very clearly designed for out of doors excursions since it may well float and has an IP67 score that makes it rattling close to waterproof and dustproof. Per Bose, the moveable speaker is “prepared for something” and is sufficiently small to suit comfortably in a backpack or a duffel bag. I’d agree with that evaluation—the speaker is 9 inches extensive and weighs a manageable 3.29 kilos. Regardless of that compact dimension, it nonetheless has a subwoofer, a tweeter, 4 passive radiators, and an estimated 20 hours of battery life, although that depends upon how loud your seashore neighbors’ competing music is and whether or not it’s essential crank the amount or not.
It additionally has a nylon strap connected, which isn’t precisely essentially the most high-tech characteristic for a wi-fi speaker, however is fairly good in case you’re carrying this factor round or wish to connect it to your backpack or one thing. There’s a brand new coloration, too, which Bose calls Citrus Yellow and provides what would in any other case be a reasonably boring-looking speaker a pleasant pop. It falls fairly solidly within the midrange value class at $269, which sits between Bose’s SoundLink Flex and the Max. Preorders launch June 12, with normal availability coming June 26.
Whereas the SoundLink Plus is the most recent factor Bose is introducing immediately, there are additionally second-gen updates to a few different audio merchandise: the QuietComfort Extremely wi-fi earbuds and the SoundLink Micro Bluetooth speaker. Highlights for the QuietComfort Extremely earbuds embrace new and improved algorithms for adaptive noise cancellation and name high quality, higher battery life, and likewise a case that fees wirelessly. The SoundLink Micro will get some main quality-of-life upgrades with the addition of USB-C charging, a significant battery life bump from 6 hours to 12 hours, and, in line with Bose, “improved sound efficiency.” Each are anticipated to be launched later this summer season at $299 and $129, respectively.
As for the brand new SoundLink Plus speaker, we’ll have our arms on one quickly sufficient, so be sure to report again for my full evaluation about whether or not Bose’s latest Bluetooth speaker is well worth the value. Apologies prematurely to all my park neighbors; I’m annoying you for science.
