For example, UE's Wonderboom, which retails for a third of the price and is an excellent mini Bluetooth speaker, stumbled over parts of the bass line in the Shaun Frank remix of The Chainsmokers' "Closer." The Revolve managed to get through those sections without breaking up. What separates the Bose from its competitors is the ability play a little louder, put out more bass without distorting and sound a little more natural with decent detail. The Revolve is only capable of so much, and can't quite escape the boundaries inherent in streaming audio over Bluetooth to a small speaker.

The fact is you could hit a patch where you say to yourself that sounds a little rough - or a little weird. When I say this Bose sounds excellent, what I really means is that it sounds excellent compared to other very compact Bluetooth speakers. I'll repeat what I said about the Revolve Plus. They sounded good for compact, battery-powered wireless speakers, but don't expect a pair of Revolves to beat a decent set of wireless powered speakers such as Bose's own SoundTouch 10 or Sonos Play:1 speakers, both of which can be set up as a stereo pair. To test stereo pairing I threw on some tracks from the '60s and '70s (The Rolling Stones, The Doors and The Beatles) that feature a lot of stereo separation.

(You can also upgrade the speaker's firmware via the app which is important to do because Bose is already updating the speaker's software to quash any bugs and hopefully improve the overall performance). There's NFC tap-to-pair technology for devices that support it, and more importantly you can wirelessly pair two of these speakers (or other recent Bose Bluetooth speakers starting with the SoundLink Color II) using the Bose Connect app, configuring them as a set of stereo speakers or doubling them up to augment the sound.
The Revolve has an integrated microphone so it can be used as speakerphone, a feature that worked well in my tests.
