8/18/2023 0 Comments Bose soundlink revolve plus review![]() The battery life of the Bose Revolve+ has never been a problem. In terms of volume, the Bose is clearly louder than the JBL Charge 3 and even slightly louder than the JBL Extreme, which I think is very clever considering the size. What is a big difference is that the Bose has a much clearer sound than the JBL speakers, which makes the JBL speakers sound a bit 'dull'. Now I have to say that the JBL Charge 3 and Extreme have more bass even at high volume where the Bose Revolve+ falls just a bit short in my opinion. Because other friends of mine also have a battery speaker, I tested it against the JBL Charge 3 and the JBL Extreme. Also outside on the bike, the speaker goes loud enough that the group you cycle with, everyone can enjoy the music.īecause I am proud of the speaker and want to show it to everyone, I took it to school. Filling a room with sounds is no problem either. This speaker can be wonderfully soft and nice and loud.

It doesn’t have the low end response the Revolve+ does but it does generally sound more neutral (as neutral as a speaker like this can be). However, at lower levels where the bass does not need to be limited, I prefer the sound of the Apple HomePod Mini. For the extra $70 or so, I’d get the Revolve+. Easier than using the Apple HomePod Mini. Connection to both units is quick and extremely easy. ![]() The bass is fuller (a bit too full at low volumes but some may like this). It gets louder without suffering (as much) distortion. I find the Revolve+ to be the better speaker overall. But as volume increases, the limiter kicks in and lowers the bass output on both units. Even when switching back and forth with music shows this to be the case even at the same volume. The response of the Revolve+ is clearly boosted on the low end.Both speakers implement limiting to keep from blowing the speaker.Max SPL is 84dB 1m (SoundLink Revolve) and 88dB 1m (SoundLink Revolve+). ![]() However, the Revolve+ is capable of higher output. You can clearly see a built-in limiter is used to keep from overpowering and blowing the speaker. An example of this can be seen below from my Apple HomePod Mini test. This was done to make sure there was no artifacts - comb filtering - from the stand back to the microphone as this is intended to provide anechoic data, as previously discussed. I modified the NFS to use a pole, placing the speaker on top rather than directly on top of the NFS’ platform. So there was nothing to disable in terms of “DSP”. The speaker was measured fresh out of the box with no additional settings enabled (if they even exist). Volume set to max and signal was applied via the Aux Input. With the above said, the reference plane in this test is at the waveguide level. The goal of this review is to answer some basic questions: 1) What is the difference between the two versions, 2) what is the sound radiation characteristic and 3) which one gets louder. In other words, most will be listening to this while moving about the home or as background music but I can’t imagine many attempting to use a SoundLink Revolve for “critical listening”. Given that this is a device that is less about “ideal listening conditions” and more about “convenience”, I am less interested in the absolute accuracy of the frequency response and more interested in the radiation pattern and the maximum SPL limits. The former has 12 hours battery life while the Revolve+ has 16 hours battery life.Ĭurrent MSRP for the Revolve is $180 USD and $250 USD for the Revolve+. The standard SoundLink Revolve is smaller and weighs about 0.50 lbs. Mechanically, the differences are in size and weight. The design of these speakers are intended to provide 360° sound throughout the room and does so using a “fullrange” drive-unit with a waveguide paired with a set of passive radiators to provide the lower frequency content. The Bose SoundLink Revolve and Revolve+ are Bluetooth speakers. Moreso, this is information for those who prefer “just the facts” and prefer to have the data without the filler.įor a primer on what the data means, please watch my series of videos where I provide in-depth discussion and examples of how to read the graphics presented hereon. The review on this website is a brief overview and summary of the objective performance of this speaker.
