megaboom or sound link revolve plus?

I think you can use Siri with both. I would've gotten a revolve plus if I didn't go with a sonos one. I loved my older sound link mobile II, but the newer bluetooth version of the newer speakers were reason enough to upgrade.

Hi,
I think the SoundLink revolve uses an like a bose app on your iOS device. Not sure how accessible with VO it is. As you're saying, your delay from the BT speaker isn't a problemm with the speaker, it's bluetooth audio in general, some speakers have less of a delay than others. I'm not sure if the revolve needs this app or not, but I thought I heard somewhere that it has to use this app to control it's functions. If anyone has the revolve on here, please comment below and put your thoughts. I'd honestly go with either the mega Boom, or the sound link mini 2 speaker.

You don't technically need the app, but it does allow some enhancements such as connecting two speakers together to make a stereo pair. I don't know how accessible that would be though. You also need the app to do firmware updatesow That's the only thing I use the app for with my q35s. The app is useable, but takes a lot of patience as few buttons have proper labels. This is another reason I went with a Sonos. Now I'm just patiently waiting for them to add air play.

Hi, without any doubt what so ever, go with the Bose revolve plus. I bought 2 Mega Booms and 2 Boom 2’s with the idea of linking them all together which should be possible in the app. When I got them home I was very unhappy with the sound quality of both the mega boom and boom 2. They are mushy, undefined, lack bass or treble and are just unpleasant to listen to compaired with many options out there. I should mension I am very picky over my audio equipment so don’t want to upset anyone who is very happy with their mega boom’s or boom 2’s. All I am saying is when there are other options available, the boom family of speakers can’t live up to the competition. When I bought them, one of the main selling points to me was the fact they are completely waterproof however after listening to them at home I realised I had sacrificed too much sound quality for a feature I could live without. They are also not true 360 degree speakers, instead they use a 180 degree arrangement of 2 drivers which means you get patchy coverage radiating from the speakers. Now on to the app, It is unusable with VO, this means as a bluetooth speaker they work fine however any of the advanced features like doubling the speakers up, the alarm feature, the ability to put multiple speakers into blocks and the party up feature are unusable to a VO user. The battery life is pretty good on them though. Anyway, I decided I really couldn’t live with the sound quality so went to try out the Bose Revolve plus. I was very impressed and bought 2. The sound quality is nothing short of amazing for such a small speaker, the bass is present and punchy, the treble is defined the mids are pretty good, the double up feature to link the 2 revolve plus’s I bought is easily performed from the speakers buttons and the app is even kind of usable if incredibly frustrating with VO. In short, listen to them both and make your own decision but if you wanted some advice it would be to go with the Bose and learn from my incredibly expensive mistake.

I forgot a couple of extras. The battery life on the Bose is also very good, it uses a downward firing single driver which then reflects outward in a true 360 degree patern and has a pretty clever dynamic graphic EQ which bose don’t talk about but basically what it does is increases bass at low volumes and reduces as the volume increases. This means the speaker sounds really good at low volume and as the volume increases it can still sound reasonable even though its a very small speaker.

Hi,
That's kinda like my bose Soundlink mini 2. It has more bass at low volume than at high.

I had a Revolve for a while (not the plus), and I concur with all the comments posted thus far. The Bose is a usability dream: it talks, it has cryptic button combinations for all its functions, it can serve as a USB audio device, as well as having auxiliary in and bluetooth. It really feels classy in the hand, too. The mini link 2 is still a better value. I'm not crazy about the way Bose manipulates the sound digitally, though. Digital EQ. I feel confident it's the best in the portable class of little mono speakers, though. I decided instead to go ape shit and buy a refurbished Deep Blue 2 and a Marshall Woburn. The Woburn is fantastic compared to anything else: warm, natural, fat sound, old-school chrome knobs, etc. That's the original Woburn, not the overpriced newer one. These aren't portables, though.
The Bose app is indeed problematic, and necessary for stereo pairing or firmware updates.
