Detailed Test Results

Sound quality: Bose's SoundLink Revolve + II had Good overall sound quality. Bass has good impact but is boomy and somewhat prominent and deep bass is lacking. Midrange is even but is a bit hazy and a touch metallic sounding. Treble is fairly extended but somewhat smeared and upper treble is slightly subdued. Does a decent job of recovering room ambience but sounds a bit congested. The speaker is monophonic. When two units are used as a stereo pair the sound stage can be made wider depending on placement. Provides a decent volume level in medium sized room. No significant difference between Bluetooth and wired sound and USB sound quality.
