Medium build notwithstanding, this is still a hefty package, but if you\u2019re after a good compromise between boombox might and breezy portability, the Soundlink Plus abides.<\/p>\n<h2>Premium Protection<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW lgCwTv responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi lqMXz asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi lqMXz asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Accessories Bag Handbag Tent Electronics Speaker Outdoors and Camping\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/686722476769133a6baf1610\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Review-%2520Bose's%2520Soundlink%2520Plus%2520Bluetooth%2520Speaker_Source%2520Ryan%2520Waniata%25201.png\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/686722476769133a6baf1610\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata%201.png 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/686722476769133a6baf1610\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata%201.png 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/686722476769133a6baf1610\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata%201.png 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/686722476769133a6baf1610\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata%201.png 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/686722476769133a6baf1610\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata%201.png 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/686722476769133a6baf1610\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata%201.png 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/686722476769133a6baf1610\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata%201.png 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Ryan Waniata<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>There\u2019s style in the Sound Plus\u2019s minimalism, with a sleek yet strong powder-coated steel grille, supple touch keys along its rubberized topside, and a hearty checkered nylon handle at the side that makes it easier to haul (or hang).<\/p>\n<p><native-ad position=\"sponsor-product\" shoulddisplaylabel=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>At the back are vents for its four bass radiators and an open USB-C port. A point of note there: the Plus is fine to dunk given its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/review-bose-soundlink-max-bluetooth-speaker\/\">IP67 rating<\/a>, and it even floats, but you\u2019ll need to wait for the port to dry before charging. That\u2019s further notable given that, like the Max, the Plus takes a sluggish five hours to charge its 20-hour battery from zero. That said, it didn\u2019t take long for the orange-and-white flashing LED to return to solid white following a bath in my laundry sink, signaling a clear and ready port.<\/p>\n<p><native-ad position=\"in-content\" shoulddisplaylabel=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Measuring 9.1 x 3.94 x 3.4 inches (WxHxD) and weighing over 3 pounds, this is not the most packable speaker, but it\u2019s still game for the open road. It took me a while to get used to its heft, but it fared well on its first task after unboxing, a camping trip in the Columbia River Gorge. If it seems risky taking a shiny new lemon-meringue speaker into the dusty woods, you\u2019re not wrong, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well the speaker cleans up. You\u2019ll inevitably attract some marks, though, and the Dusk Blue and Black should age better.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the color, I dig the Plus\u2019 aesthetic, and so did most people I showed it to (though they mostly remarked on the great sound). It feels nice to the touch, and both the look and build quality seem a step above flack-jacketed rivals like the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/JBL-Charge-Waterproof-Drop-Proof-Built\/dp\/B0DN2ZCZX6?th=1\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/JBL-Charge-Waterproof-Drop-Proof-Built\/dp\/B0DN2ZCZX6?th=1&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/JBL-Charge-Waterproof-Drop-Proof-Built\/dp\/B0DN2ZCZX6?th=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-aps-asin=\"B0DN2ZCZX6\" data-aps-asc-tag=\"wirednl-20\">JBL Charge 6<\/a> and <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ultimate-Ears-Waterproof-360-Degree-Thundering\/dp\/B0CVFL3K1Z?th=1\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ultimate-Ears-Waterproof-360-Degree-Thundering\/dp\/B0CVFL3K1Z?th=1&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ultimate-Ears-Waterproof-360-Degree-Thundering\/dp\/B0CVFL3K1Z?th=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-aps-asin=\"B0CVFL3K1Z\" data-aps-asc-tag=\"wirednl-20\">UE MegaBoom 4<\/a>. I\u2019d still prefer either of those speakers for a hard fall\u2014not because the Bose wouldn\u2019t survive, it\u2019s just more likely to get nicks or dents. The Charge 6\u2019s IP68 rating theoretically gives it bragging rights for water resistance, but all three are dunkable, like most speakers we test.<\/p>\n<h2>Solid Extras<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW lgCwTv responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi lqMXz asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi lqMXz asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Electronics Speaker and Radio\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68672250465edd55bffc5664\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Review-%2520Bose's%2520Soundlink%2520Plus%2520Bluetooth%2520Speaker_Source%2520Ryan%2520Waniata.png\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68672250465edd55bffc5664\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata.png 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68672250465edd55bffc5664\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata.png 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68672250465edd55bffc5664\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata.png 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68672250465edd55bffc5664\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata.png 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68672250465edd55bffc5664\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata.png 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68672250465edd55bffc5664\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata.png 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/68672250465edd55bffc5664\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Review-%20Bose's%20Soundlink%20Plus%20Bluetooth%20Speaker_Source%20Ryan%20Waniata.png 1600w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Ryan Waniata<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Soundlink Plus features seem a little austere at first glance, but there\u2019s enough here to keep away feature envy.
