Detailed Test Results

Sound quality: Bose's SoundLink Revolve II had Good overall sound quality. Bass has good impact but is somewhat boomy, slightly prominent and deep bass is lacking. Midrange is fairly even but is a bit hazy and a touch metallic sounding. Treble is fairly extended but is smeared and sizzly. Does a decent job of recovering room ambience but sounds somewhat 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.
