The Bose SoundLink Plus is a portable Bluetooth speaker that fits between the smaller SoundLink Flex and the larger SoundLink Max in Bose’s current lineup. The Plus weighs 3.3 pounds with a built-in nylon carrying loop on the side, runs for up to 20 hours per charge, and carries an IP67 rating that makes it dustproof, waterproof, and able to float if dropped in a pool. A 2.5-inch woofer paired with four passive radiators handles bass, while a 0.78-inch tweeter handles high frequencies.

A portable speaker that’s truly lightweight and comfortable to tote around
Bose sound tuning is the reason most people pay extra for a SoundLink over a cheaper Bluetooth speaker. The Plus uses a 2.5-inch mid/bass woofer paired with four passive radiators (two on each side of the speaker), allowing the small enclosure to produce bass that punches above its size class. A 0.78-inch tweeter handles the highs, and aptX Adaptive delivers higher-resolution audio from your phone than the standard SBC codec used by most basic Bluetooth speakers.
The IP67 rating protects against dust, water immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, and occasional drops. The Plus also floats, so dropping it into a pool or off a dock doesn’t sink the speaker. A nylon carrying loop on the side gives you a quick grab point for moving the speaker between rooms, hanging it from a backpack strap, or clipping it to a railing. The colored silicone exterior comes in Black, Blue Dusk, or Citrus Yellow.
