As someone who had the first version since 2017, this is a noticeable improvement
TLDR: Great sound quality, great portability and size, and holds a good charge (5-6 hours at 50% – 70% volume.) The charging cradle is a must own if you buy this. It’s durable and holds up well, but it can dent and ding with relative ease; but it doesn’t effect the sound quality. I got more than 5+ years out of my first one, and it still works. The Bose app is great and easy to link multiple devices. Where this speaker absolutely shines is in Party Mode/Stereo Mode. It actually gives my Bose Smart Soundbar 900 a run (Only possible with two of these revolve+ in Stereo Mode; however, you can link any other Bose Soundlink speakers to it as well.) Silver hides dirt better than the black, but the black handle hides dirt better than the silver handle. The black also hides dents and dings a little better. One downside is the charging cradle only comes in black. If you can wait patiently, and would like to save some money; you can find this around $100 off retail during black Friday sales, Amazon Day sales, and during random flash sales.The first one I owned was a Silver Soundlink Revolve+ that I used daily, for roughly 5 years. Then after getting a PC, and finding out my monitor didn’t have speakers, I decided I wanted one more to connect with my PC (since I was always moving my silver series 1 back and forth.)But after seeing how effortlessly it connects to bluetooth, and being able to tell a difference in the quality of sound (from heavy everyday use for 5+ years) I felt like it would bother me. Before I hadn’t noticed it, but after comparing them directly, and using party mode/stereo mode (linking them ) I could tell my silver OG soundlink revolve+ was just a touch not as clear. If both were new, I’m pretty sure the only difference between the two would be the ease of bluetooth connection on the series 2 (this one.) The battery is pretty much about the same in my experience, but honestly I leave it on the cradle 95% of the time. If I had to guess, I’d say the Series 2 might be slightly better overall, but I’m inclined to think it has more with the software than a battery upgrade.However, it’s nice to grab and walk through the house from chore to chore while listening to an audiobook, podcast, or other media content. As far as portable speakers go, I think this is right in the pocket. It’s compact enough that it’s easily packed in a backpack, or drawstring bag; but it’s also loud enough that it’s worth carrying with you. Honestly, some smaller lower quality speakers just aren’t really worth the trouble. For example, my first Jambox, or my first JBL portable speaker. Those were both pretty mid to be honest, neither lasted more than 1.5 years.The sound quality is supurb, and has a nice overall balance between the high’s and bass. It’s very clear, even when it’s loud. My only recommendation would be to buy the charging cradle as it makes everything so much easier. I do feel like for the price it should include the charging cradle, but whatever.Ultimately, I was happy enough with the series 1 Soundlink Revolve+ that I decided to add another one. Then after hearing the sound degradation after 5 years, I decided to buy another. Honestly, without comparing them side by side, you’d never notice. But unfortunately I did, and then it always bothered me. I decided to retire my OG Silver Soundlink Revolve+ and gave it to a friend. He couldn’t believe I would give it away like that, but I assured him that I got every penny out of those 5+ years. He’s been using the OG revolve+ for more than a year now. And I’ve been using my two Series 2 revolve+ for more than a year as well. Both have held up great even with daily use. For reference, I usually listen at around 50% – 70% volume. Where this speaker really shines is in Party Mode/Stereo Mode with two of these Revolve + speakers. It honestly gives my Bose Smart Soundbar a good and close run. It’s a pretty pricy investment, but it can be easier to justify knowing you’ll easily get 5+ years out of it. Just don’t have it turned up to 100 all the time for hours at a time, and it should last you a very long time.PS: In all honesty, I think the Silver hides dirty and grime better than the black does. It sounds like the opposite would be true, but the black show’s every spec of dust, and finger prints standout a lot more. The only downside was the charging cradle only comes in black. The only benefit to the black color in my experience is that the black handle does hide dirt better. So it’s kind of a trade off. I got the black speakers this time around just as a refresher, I kinda wanted it to feel new and unfamiliar. In all honesty, after spending a year with the black, I’d say personally I prefer the silver. But the black does match the cradle, and it the handle hides dirt a little better. The black also hides dents and dings a little better too, but not by much. After 5+ years with OG revolve+ it had a number of smaller dents from being knocked around, thrown, falling off the table/desk, etc.. it’s made well, and you no doubt get what you pay for.

A good product, though pricey
The sound quality is good and the item is small and lightweight. So well and practically designed. So there is quality there but I wish there was more value to the price point.

purchase for the bose sound and the party mode feature
I purchased two Bose ppeakers and have been using them in party mode. Setting up the pairing was straightforward, and the synchronization between the two speakers works seamlessly. They easily connect to my vinyl record player setup at home. 50 feet away. The sound quality is excellent, with clear audio and consistent performance even at higher volumes. The battery life lasts several hours on a single charge, and the built-in microphone is a handy feature for taking calls. Overall, the speakers deliver on their promise, and the party mode is perfect for filling a larger space with sound or 2 separate spaces hearing the same thing.

As a first-time Bose user, I didn’t know what to expect beyond the brand’s reputation. After using the Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II, I finally understand why people rave about Bose products. This speaker has not only met my expectations but far exceeded them.Sound Quality (5/5):The moment I turned it on, I was amazed by the rich, room-filling sound. The 360-degree design means you get the same incredible experience no matter where you’re standing. The bass is deep and punchy, the mids are warm, and the highs are crystal clear. I’ve played everything from podcasts to bass-heavy music, and it all sounds phenomenal.Ease of Use (5/5):Setting it up was surprisingly simple. Pairing it to my phone took seconds, and I was listening to my favorite playlist within minutes. The speaker also has voice prompts to guide you through pairing and settings, which is fantastic for someone new to Bluetooth audio.Design and Portability (5/5):The Revolve+ looks and feels premium. The aluminum finish is sleek, and the sturdy handle makes it easy to carry anywhere. It’s also water-resistant, which adds peace of mind when using it outdoors.Battery Life (5/5):The battery life is impressive! I’ve used it for hours on end, and it still had plenty of juice left. Bose advertises 17 hours of playtime, and it seems accurate based on my usage.Why I Recommend It:As someone new to Bose, I can confidently say this speaker lives up to the hype. Whether you’re using it at home, outdoors, or on the go, it’s incredibly versatile and delivers a premium sound experience. I didn’t realize how much a quality speaker could elevate my everyday listening.If you’re new to Bose like me and wondering if it’s worth the price—yes, it absolutely is! This speaker has transformed how I listen to music, and I can’t wait to explore more Bose products in the future. Highly recommend!

Bom volume, graves e agudos. Excelente para uma reuniao com amigos
