This Bose Wireless Outdoor Speaker Is Currently $50 Off.
Price reductions are always more noticeable when a product already has a reputation for exceeding expectations, and that’s precisely the case with the Bose SoundLink Plus . It’s relatively new to the market, but has already received high marks—CNET even called it ” the ultimate Bose Bluetooth speaker.” And now its price has been reduced from $269 to $219, which, according to price tracking, is its lowest price ever.
Bose positions this model right in the middle of the SoundLink line, and this balance is evident in its design. It’s compact enough to attach to a backpack with the built-in nylon strap and durable enough to withstand impacts and submersion, thanks to its IP67 rating. Battery life can reach up to 20 hours depending on volume, enough for a full day. However, a roughly five-hour charge time means it’s better to charge it overnight than rely on a quick charge. Connectivity-wise, there’s Bluetooth 5.4 with AAC and AptX Adaptive support, as well as the ability to connect two devices simultaneously for a more seamless experience. What’s missing is a microphone, AUX jack, or voice assistant support, which could be important if you prefer wired options or use the speakers for calls.
This Bluetooth speaker’s sound profile is weighted toward mid- and high-bass, giving electronic and pop tracks a lively rhythm without making the entire sound muddy. It doesn’t reach true low bass, so it may not be for those looking for powerful sub-bass, but as noted in the PCMag review , the sound seems clear for its size. Vocals lag a bit behind the rhythm in denser tracks because the midrange is slightly offset, though this can be adjusted using the in-app EQ tools. It’s also worth noting that the speaker plays everything in mono, so you lose the space and width you’d hear in a stereo mix, but its directionality is good—you don’t have to stand directly in front of it to hear the sound clearly. However, at high volumes, there is some compression, which is typical for speakers of this size.
