Soundtrack your summer with Bose's brilliant Bluetooth speaker

When it comes to picking the perfect portable speaker, we think there are three must-haves: it must sound amazing, it must have great bass, and it must be able to handle the British weather. Bose's superb SoundLink Plus ticks both those boxes and more. Whether you choose classic Black, Citrus Summer yellow or Blue Dusk it's your perfect speaker for parties, picnics and poolsides – and it's great for playing podcasts too.

Amazing audio wherever you go

Inside every SoundLink Plus there's a state-of-the-art speaker system that punches way above its size to deliver a big, bold and beautiful audio experience. That's because like all SoundLink speakers, the SoundLink Plus has been designed specifically to deliver awe-inspiring audio and big bass while also being easy to carry and perfectly portable.

Bose haven't just cranked up the volume. The SoundLink Plus has been engineered to deliver superb sonics for every kind of audio. As Techradar put it, the SoundLink Plus delivers "expansive and full-figured low frequencies, plenty of detail across the board, direct and informative midrange and a top end that doesn’t get carried away with itself." It "is happy to go very loud indeed" and it brings "bite and shine to treble sounds without straying into hardness."

What Hi-Fi? loved it too, describing it as "rugged, portable and entertaining" and saying with a smile: "The SoundLink Plus is fun".

It's easy to tweak the sound to suit your surroundings, so if you want to boost the bass or turn up the treble, Adjustable EQ in the Bose app enables you to do that instantly.

With up to 20 hours of playback from a single charge the SoundLink Plus has serious stamina – and you don't need to worry about the battery in your phone either. If your phone is starting to flag, simply hook it up to your SoundLink Plus's USB-C port to keep the tunes coming.

Made small. Built tough

The Bose SoundLink Plus is small enough to fit in your back or backpack without weighing you down, and it's made tough: its ready-for-anything exterior is water-resistant, shock-resistant and rust-resistant, so it's ideal for the unpredictable weather of a British summer and tough enough for any kind of trip or travelling. It'll shrug off a summer shower, accidental drops and even being dunked in water.

The perfect portable for parties

If you really want to get the party started you can pair two SoundLink Plus speakers together or pair your SoundLink Plus with another compatible Bose speaker to level up your audio experience even further.

When you pair two Bose speakers you can choose between two great audio experiences: Stereo Mode, which gives you a full stereo soundscape wherever you roam, and Party Mode, which is ideal for entertaining and outdoor events. In Party Mode, each speaker powerfully plays the same audio at the same time.

Whether you're planning a party, a picnic or just fancy a quiet evening in with your favourite podcast the Bose SoundLink Plus is the perfect player for all of your audio – and if you buy yours from John Lewis you get a two-year warranty, free click and collect, free delivery, and John Lewis's legendary customer service too.
