VerdictĬompared with its main rivals, such as the UE Megaboom, the Revolve is a bit too pricey. Its sense of energy and drive is apparent with whatever you song you play through it, and when it goes loud, it’s capable of impressive volume. The Bose Revolve is less insightful, but it’s still fun to listen to. The Megaboom breathes in more openness into the performance, and you can identify instruments’ placement better, too. The Megaboom delivers a bigger scale of sound, too, but then it is physically bigger. Its rival, the UE Megaboom, is more articulate and handles dynamic shifts and rhythm changes with more confidence. It’s not perfect – we wish the Bose sounded clearer, and that edges of notes were more definite and crisply defined.

It's also better-built, has a better soundstage, and has lower Bluetooth latency for watching videos and movies. You can use the Bose with a battery, so it's more portable and better suited for outdoor use. Charging is done via USB through your PC or power outlet which takes up to 4-hour to charge and we found that that the battery life lasts between 12 to 14 hours, however on constant use, it would drain it faster.Īs with all Bose products, the audio quality of the SoundLink Revolve produces some exceptional audio with well-balanced levels, no distortion and mild bass.
