Bose SoundLink Plus review: here’s your new beach speaker

theverge.com John Higgins 2026-02-26 14:00:00

I’ve been testing the $269 Bose SoundLink Plus, which is the company’s latest portable Bluetooth speaker. It’s durable, attractive, and designed to join you wherever you go, thanks to solid construction and an IP67 rating. You can toss it in a small backpack or clip it to the outside of one for easy transport to the beach or around town. However, at $269, the Plus falls into a no man’s land of Bluetooth speakers. It’s more expensive than similarly sized competitors, including the JBL Charge 6,

In recent weeks, the Nintendo Switch 2's display has come under fire.

In the video game The Last of Us and its spin-off HBO series, humans fight to survive against cordyceps, a parasitic fungus that turns its hosts into zombies. While the infections are wildly dramatized in both the game and the show, these fungi aren’t mere science fiction. In fact, some species have been around since the age of the dinosaurs, a new study suggests.
