Bose SoundLink Plus Is Now on Sale at Its Lowest Price yet Before Black Friday.
Price reductions are always more noticeable when a product already has a reputation for being larger than its size, as is the case with the Bose SoundLink Plus . It’s new to the market but has already earned rave reviews—CNET even called it ” the golden mean among Bose Bluetooth speakers.” Now, ahead ofBlack Friday , the price has dropped from $269 to $199, which, according to price trackers, is an all-time low.
Bose positions it right in the middle of the SoundLink line, and you can feel that balance in its design. It’s compact enough to clip to a backpack with the built-in nylon strap, durable enough to withstand knocks, and IP67 -rated for dust and full submersion. Battery life can last up to 20 hours, depending on volume, enough for full-day outings. However, the roughly five-hour charge time means it’s better to charge it overnight than rely on a quick charger. Connectivity-wise, there’s Bluetooth 5.4 with AAC and AptX Adaptive support, as well as the ability to pair two devices for seamless switching. What you don’t get is a microphone, AUX port, or voice assistant support, which might be important if you prefer wired options or use the speakers for calls.
This Bluetooth speaker’s sound profile leans toward mid- and high-bass, giving electronic and pop tracks a lively pulse without sounding muddy. It doesn’t reach true low-bass territory, so those looking for a thumping sub-bass may not get it, but the punch it delivers feels clean for its size. Vocals lag a bit behind the rhythm in denser tracks because the midrange is slightly recessed, though you can adjust this using the app’s EQ tools. It’s also worth noting that the speaker plays everything in mono, so you lose the space and width you hear in a stereo mix, but its directionality is good—you don’t have to stand directly in front of it to hear it clearly. However, at higher volumes, there is some compression, which is common for speakers of this size.
