Bose SoundLink Home review: a speaker that’s all about looks

Bose’s $ 219 SoundLink Home has a mid-modern style that bears little resemblance to most competitors.

The speaker has no water resistance to speak of, but the Flex is a better choice for those who need a road warrior that can withstand the elements.

It takes between three and four hours to recharge the speaker, which seems rather long for the passable battery life you’re getting.

But Bose went in a different direction with the SoundLink Home . If you’re looking to buy (or gift) a speaker that’s off the beaten path, I wouldn’t fault you for choosing this one. Photography by Chris Welch / The Verge.
