The Bose SoundLink Plus portable Bluetooth speaker is $179 at Amazon in the United States and $179.00 on Bose’s own store, $90 below its $269 list price, a 33% cut. Bose is running early Black Friday sales on headphones, earbuds and speakers, and this speaker is on the list.
PC Guide reported the $179 Amazon price on October 30, 2026. Bose’s product page still showed the price on November 9, 2026, but its promo line says “Save $90 when you purchase by November 8, 2026”, so check whether the offer has been extended before you order.
What does the SoundLink Plus offer?
It is a mono portable speaker made for outdoor use, with a rugged build and a rope loop for carrying. According to Bose:
- Battery: up to 20 hours, with a 5 hour charge time. Bose notes that real life use varies with settings and volume.
- Protection: IP67 dust and water resistance, shock and rust resistance, and it can be accidentally submerged for up to 30 minutes, though it is not designed for use in water.
- Size: 4.114 in tall, 11.169 in wide, 3.402 in deep, and 3.373 lb.
- Connections: Bluetooth with up to 6 paired devices, plus USB-C in and out. The USB-C port can charge a phone at 15W.
- Sound and control: adjustable EQ in the Bose app and a programmable shortcut button. Party Mode links compatible Bose speakers, and Stereo Mode needs two SoundLink Plus units.
There is no microphone, so it cannot take phone calls. In the box you get the speaker and a USB-C cable. A power adapter is not included. Bose says the speaker is suited to groups of up to 15 people.
PC Guide describes the sound as bass heavy and says two units can be paired for stereo. SoundGuys placed it between the smaller Bose Flex and the larger SoundLink Max in Bose’s lineup.
Is this a new low price?
Not according to the sources. SoundGuys reported the same $179 Amazon price on July 1, 2026, and called it the best deal it had seen on the speaker that year. The price has come back since, and the sources here do not call the current offer a record low, so we do not either.

Who it suits
Backyard, beach and campsite listeners. The IP67 rating, the rope loop and the 20 hour battery claim fit a speaker that lives outside, and Bose says it handles groups of up to 15 people.
People who also need a power bank. The USB-C port charges a phone at 15W, which helps on a long day away from an outlet.
Buyers who want a stereo pair later. Two SoundLink Plus speakers can run in Stereo Mode, so you can start with one and add another if the price drops again.
Who should wait or look elsewhere. If you take calls on your speaker, skip it, because it has no microphone. If you want something smaller, Bose’s SoundLink Micro is $79.00 on Bose’s sale page. If you want more volume, the SoundLink Max is $249.00 there.
What is still unknown
Neither Amazon nor Bose says how long the $179 price will last past November 8, 2026, and no stock levels are given. The sources do not give a Canadian price, and Bose’s page lists weight and size twice with slightly different figures, so we used its spec table.
Before you buy, check the Amazon listing and Bose’s sale page for the day’s price. The Bose product page carries the full spec list and the warranty terms.
