With the new SoundLink Plus, Bose is expanding its popular Bluetooth speaker range with a powerful model for mobile use. The speaker combines first-class audio quality with a robust, waterproof housing and smart features such as a USB-C charging function and app connection. The model will be available from June 26 – pre-orders are already possible.
- Powerful sound with subwoofer, tweeter and four passive radiators
- Dust and waterproof to IP67, floatable, shock and rust resistant
- Up to 20 hours of battery life, USB-C charging port can also be used as a power bank
- App control, Bluetooth 5.4, aptX Adaptive, SimpleSync and Google Fast Pair
Powerful sound concept in a compact format
The SoundLink Plus brings a new dimension to Bose’s speaker portfolio: Thanks to an integrated subwoofer, a tweeter and four passive radiators, it delivers a rich, room-filling sound with noticeable bass – despite its compact design. Weighing only around two kilograms and measuring 231 × 99 × 86 mm, the speaker is easy to transport and can be used anywhere – from the beach to the park to a garden party.
The sound performance of the SoundLink Plus clearly sets it apart in its category. The tuned sound pattern ensures clear highs, present mids and deep bass that does not lose precision even at higher volumes. This positions the model between the Flex and Max series from Bose – the perfect choice for anyone looking for full sound in a portable size.
Design, durability and battery performance
The new speaker is not only powerful in terms of sound, but also well thought out in everyday use. With a robust housing made of silicone, steel and a hard-wearing nylon strap, it is shock, rust and weather resistant. The IP67 protection class means: completely dustproof, waterproof and even floatable. Another practical feature is the wide front cover made of powder-coated steel, which provides additional protection and enhances the speaker’s appearance.
One highlight is the battery performance: up to 20 hours of music playback are possible on a single charge. Thanks to the USB-C port, the speaker also serves as a power bank for smartphones or other small devices. This function also makes the SoundLink Plus particularly useful when traveling and during longer outdoor sessions.
The color selection includes black, twilight blue and citrus yellow – the latter as a limited summer edition, which stands out in terms of color. The integrated carrying strap rounds off the portable concept.
Connectivity, app integration and multi-speaker support
Like the other current SoundLink models, the SoundLink Plus also supports Bluetooth® Core 5.4, including multipoint connectivity for two source devices simultaneously. This allows you to switch seamlessly between your laptop and smartphone, for example. For Android users, Google Fast Pair is also available, which greatly speeds up the pairing process.
In combination with the Bose app, the speaker offers a wide range of personalization options: EQ customization, shortcuts such as Spotify Tap, speaker management and automatic firmware updates. In addition, different speakers can be paired via the party or stereo mode – for even more powerful sound. Particularly interesting: Bose SimpleSync technology also enables connection to compatible Bose soundbars and smart speakers, for example for synchronized playback throughout the house.
Support for the SBC, AAC and aptX Adaptive audio codecs ensures broad compatibility with various devices and at the same time offers the possibility of high-resolution, low-latency audio streaming – especially on Snapdragon Sound-certified smartphones.
Conclusion
The Bose SoundLink Plus combines powerful sound, high mobility and a robust design. With features such as IP67 protection, power bank function and flexible connectivity, it is ideal for active users and outdoor situations. With a price of €249, the speaker is now available for pre-order on Bose.de and will be launched on June 26. Anyone looking for a portable speaker that combines sound, design and suitability for everyday use will get a complete package here.
