If you’re unsure what to get a family member, friend, or loved one for the holidays this year, take some sage advice. Everyone can appreciate a good Bluetooth speaker. You never know when you’ll be somewhere that you’d suddenly wish someone had one. I like to keep one fully charged in the trunk of my car just in case. Right now, you can even save quite a bit on one of the best ones out there. Bose has been a strong name in the audio space for generations, and ahead of Black Friday, the company has decided to reduce the price of one of its flagship portable speakers over at Amazon by 33%.
The Bose SoundLink Plus portable Bluetooth speaker normally goes for $269, but thanks to this early-Black Friday deal, Amazon now has it going for just $179. That shakes out to a $90 savings.
Designed for Portability
This outdoor speaker is really designed for you to be able to take with you anywhere you need. It’s of a modest size. It won’t fit in your pocket, but those little ones can barely fill a room with music. The Bose SoundLink Plus is still compact enough to comfortably fit into a bag, but large enough to pack a powerful bass and produce sound you can hear from across the yard. Bose even included a handy little loop on the end of it to make carrying it around much easier.
The speaker has been constructed with durability in mind. It’s both dustproof and waterproof with a rating of IP67. It’s safe to take with you to the beach in the sand or poolside without you having to worry about the risk of it getting splashed on. It’s also shock and rust resistant, and can easily withstand some tumbles and falls.
Battery life is sustainable enough to last you from sunrise to sunset. You can expect a fully charged Bose SoundLink Plus portable speaker to be able to continue playing for as much as 20 hours. From nothing, it can reach full battery capacity again after being plugged in for just five hours time. In the event your phone battery is running low, you can actually use the Bose speaker’s battery to charge back up your phone over the USB-C charging port. This can prove especially useful since odds are you were planning on playing the music from your phone to the speaker anyway.
You can even pair more than one Bose speaker together at once. Using two SoundLink Plus speakers, or other compatible speaker, you can set the two to play in either stereo mode to create dedicated left and right channels to what you are listening to or in party mode to just amplify the same audio even more.
