Bose SoundLink Revolve Charging Cradle Black

Awesome addition to my Bose speaker. No more plugging in - just drop it on the base and you're good to go. PERFECT!

After reading many posts about the charging cable being unstable and not staying plugged in, I was a bit skeptical to order this. I have had a couple of issues with off brand chargers and adapters though, so I thought I'd give Bose the benefit of a doubt and stick with the OG product. I am not disappointed. I'm not sure if they've changed their design based on previous complaints, or if I'm just lucky, but this works perfectly. The angle and location of where the micro usb plugs into the base is a bit tight and not the easiest to get your fingers into. It also plugs in pretty tightly (with a definite click) and does take a bit of work to get it fully plugged in, so perhaps people that had issues with the cables coming loose might just not have had them plugged in fully to begin with. The cable also lays in a recessed channel on the underside of the charger. That recessed channel is not straight, but has a bend/turn in it, so it would be very difficult, if not impossible for the cable to just slip out of the usb port. Again, this may be an improvement and design change that Bose has made based on previous issues. If so, then kudos to them for their resolution.

it is awesome. FAST! and so much more convenient than the usual cables. i cant believe i waited 5+ yrs to purchase one … NOW i want TWO —- one for each of my revolve (1 &2) speakers— works great for both… DONT DELAY

This cradle should be considered necessary for the Bose speaker. Everything on the speaker has a lifetime warranty except the USB power input. The USB receptacle on the speaker feels a little weak and I was worried about the long term reliability. This cradle eliminates the need to use that power input by using gold pins that make contact with small gold “plates” on the bottom of the speaker. So, the worry about damaging the one item the warranty won’t cover is eliminated. $30 for the dock is probably less than the cost of repairing that USB port later. However, all is not perfect with the cradle. The female USB port on it provide a loose fit with the small male USB plug on your USB cable. There is also no way to capture or confine the cable under the charging cradle to keep it from getting pulled loose if you move the cradle just a little. That combination - loose fit and easy movement of cable means that you have to try very hard to never move the cradle once you carefully set it down with the cable in place. It’s very annoying. You will only know it’s come loose when you notice that the speaker isn’t charging. Not up to the usual Bose standards. However, overall, still much better than the tedious task of plugging in the USB cable every time (which fits loosely in the speaker and can lose connection there too).

This charging dock is great, and extremely simple to use... knocking off a star, as it did not come with the cable needed to actually use it. I don't know if that was by design, or if the one I got just happened to be a error... fortunately, I was able to find an old Micro USB cable in my cable storage box, so it's not a crippling issue.

I bought two of these, one for myself, one for my dad. Without it, you need to plug in the micro-USB to the back of the speaker, which is not overly difficult, but for the price, this little charging stand makes it so much more convenient. Pre-connect the charging cable to the bottom of the stand, and simply set the speaker onto the stand, it begins charging and maintains full charge. If you use this a lot, (grab and go to the other room for music) this is perfect. Back on the cradle, and it charges while still playing music. There's no magnet holding the speaker down (not needed)

The Bose SoundLink Revolve Charging Cradle is very poorly designed, but the concept is essential. The problem is that the power cable regularly disconnects from the charging cradle because it is routed through a circuitous path to a micro-B USB port at the bottom center of the cradle. It always eventually disconnects, and never does not, because of the speaker's vibration; did you know speakers vibrate? Apparently, the Bose designers do not know this. To me, this is an essential device because I often need to take my speaker to different parts of my house. I will seek an aftermarket (non-Bose) product with the proper power specs and a non-routed cable design and buy it. This product is junk.
