It’s available in four different colors – including a unique Lime Green and Aqua Blue – however only the Soft Black colorway is discounted with the deal. So what can you expect from a Bose Bluetooth speaker? Well, Bose is a household name for audio lovers for a good reason – its speakers are top notch. This one in particular is incredibly loud for its size (we measured more than 90 decibels, with very little distortion in our Bose SoundLink Color review) and has around an 8-hour battery life. That should be plenty to get you through a day at the beach, a late-night bonfire or an outdoor picnic. Speaking of taking this outdoors, the SoundLink Color II is IPX4 water-resistant, so you can feel good about bringing it around the water without worrying about some accidentally splashing on the speaker and ruining it. Our only major issue with this speaker is that, because it’s so light and thin, it doesn’t have the best left-right stereo separation. You’d have to stick two Bluetooth speakers together in a paired mode to get that – which you can absolutely do – but unfortunately you won’t get the same sound quality as, say, a 5.1 surround system from one $79 Bluetooth speaker. Overall, though, this is a fantastic deal on a rock-solid Bluetooth speaker. Be sure to check out our main Black Friday deals live blog for more great savings.
