The Bose SoundLink Plus portable Bluetooth speaker is now priced at $179, down from $269--a reduction of about 33%. The offer arrives ahead of Black Friday and is described as the model's lowest price so far.
Portable design, built for the outdoors
Designed to sit between other speakers in Bose's SoundLink range, the model combines a compact build with a strap for attaching it to a backpack. Its IP67 rating means it is protected against dust and can withstand immersion in water. Battery life is rated at up to 20 hours, depending on volume.
For wireless playback, it supports Bluetooth 5.4, AAC and AptX Adaptive, and can stay paired with two devices for easier switching. It does not include a microphone, an auxiliary input or voice-assistant support, so those seeking wired playback or speakerphone features should factor that in.
Sound profile and trade-offs
The speaker emphasizes midrange and upper bass, giving pop and electronic music a lively character. Bass remains clean for its size, though it does not deliver deep sub-bass, and sound may compress at higher volumes. Playback is mono rather than stereo, but its sound remains clear from different listening positions.
With a rugged design and long claimed battery life, the SoundLink Plus is suited to portable listening. Products balancing durability, connectivity and compact sound may continue to make everyday audio more flexible.
