Mascom International stocks the Bose SoundLink Color II at KSh 19,500, brand new and sealed, with IPX4 splash resistance, up to 8 hours of playback and a built-in microphone for speakerphone calls. Bose designed this compact Bluetooth speaker with a soft silicone finish, voice prompts that guide pairing, and NFC, which lets you connect a compatible Android phone with a single tap. It weighs about 540 grams, small enough to carry in one hand. You can listen to the Bose SoundLink Color II at our shop in Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.

Built for university students, sales teams, home cooks and families across Kenya, the Bose SoundLink Color II handles the everyday listening a phone speaker cannot. Phone speakers sound thin and quiet once a room fills with people. This speaker fills a bedsitter in Kilimani, a hostel room at Strathmore or a small balcony with clear sound and fuller bass. IPX4 means it survives splashes, so a kitchen counter or a light drizzle on the patio is no worry. When a call comes in, answer it through the speaker and talk across the room, which suits small-business owners confirming M-Pesa orders while packing.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock unbranded lookalikes, Mascom International sells the Bose SoundLink Color II sealed and covered by a 12-month warranty at our Nairobi CBD desk. Customers across Nairobi tell us they choose it for the Bose sound, the simple buttons and the colour range. If you need full waterproofing for the beach, the Bose SoundLink Flex is also in stock at Mascom International. Come to the store and hear both speakers side by side, or order the Bose SoundLink Color II on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.

Common Questions About the Bose SoundLink Color II

How much is the Bose SoundLink Color II in Kenya?
The Bose SoundLink Color II costs KSh 19,500 brand new and sealed at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The price includes a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects and a USB charging cable in the box. You can pay on arrival by cash or M-Pesa anywhere in Kenya after inspecting the sealed packaging. The Bose SoundLink Flex, also sold by Mascom International, costs KSh 19,000, so the two speakers sit just KSh 500 apart.

Should I buy the Bose SoundLink Color II or the Bose SoundLink Flex?
The Bose SoundLink Flex is the tougher outdoor speaker, while the Bose SoundLink Color II suits indoor and patio use with simpler setup. The Flex carries an IP67 rating, meaning it survives dust and full submersion, and it lasts up to 12 hours with USB-C charging. The Color II is rated IPX4 for splashes, runs up to 8 hours and charges by micro-USB. Pick the Flex for beach trips to Diani or hikes at Ngong Hills. Pick the Color II for kitchens, bedrooms and offices.

Is the Bose SoundLink Color II good for Kenyan weather, dust and humidity?
The Bose SoundLink Color II handles splashes and light rain thanks to its IPX4 rating, but it is not dust-proof or waterproof. In Mombasa or Kisumu humidity, it works normally, though you should not leave it in a damp bag for days. Keep it off sandy ground and away from dusty roadside work, because its rating covers water only. The soft silicone body resists scuffs and offers grip on a wet counter. Wipe it with a damp cloth to clean off dust or fingerprints.

How long does the Bose SoundLink Color II battery last, and how does it charge?
The Bose SoundLink Color II plays for up to 8 hours on one charge, enough for an evening gathering or a full working day of background music. It charges through a micro-USB port using the included cable and any USB power source. A power bank or a laptop port keeps it charging during a KPLC outage. Battery level is announced by voice prompts, so you know when to recharge. Note that micro-USB is an older connector, so keep the supplied cable handy for charging.

Can I take phone calls through the Bose SoundLink Color II?
Yes, the Bose SoundLink Color II has a built-in microphone, so you can answer calls and speak hands-free from across a room. This suits shop owners, freelancers and remote workers handling Safaricom or Airtel calls while their hands are busy. Press the multifunction button on top to answer or end a call. The microphone also lets you use your phone's voice assistant through the speaker. For long conference calls, keep the speaker close to you, as the microphone works best within a short distance.

Can I connect two Bose SoundLink Color II speakers together?
Yes, two Bose SoundLink Color II speakers can play together through the Bose Connect app on Android or iOS. Party mode plays the same audio on both speakers for wider coverage across a living room or compound. Stereo mode assigns one speaker to left and one to right for a fuller listening layout. The speaker also remembers up to eight paired devices, so family members can reconnect their phones without setting it up again. Download the free Bose Connect app before your first event.

Does the Bose SoundLink Color II work with a TV, laptop or non-Bluetooth device?
The Bose SoundLink Color II connects to any Bluetooth device, and its 3.5mm aux input handles TVs, laptops and players without Bluetooth. Plug a standard audio cable into the aux port and the speaker plays the wired source directly. This helps teachers using an older laptop for class presentations, or anyone with a decoder that offers a headphone jack. Bluetooth range reaches about 9 metres, so your phone can stay on a desk while the speaker plays in the next room.

Who is the Bose SoundLink Color II right for, and who should choose something else?
The Bose SoundLink Color II suits buyers wanting clear Bose sound for a bedroom, office or kitchen at KSh 19,500. Students, small-shop owners and anyone answering calls on the move will use the speakerphone often. Skip it if you want a speaker that survives drops in a swimming pool, because the Bose SoundLink Flex handles full submersion. Skip it as well for loud gatherings in a big compound; the Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II at Mascom International spreads louder sound in every direction.

Package Contents

Each sealed Bose SoundLink Color II box contains the speaker and a USB charging cable for its micro-USB port. Wired listening through the aux input uses a standard 3.5mm audio cable, and Mascom International sells these alongside compatible USB wall chargers. Keep the original USB cable safe, as micro-USB cables are less common in homes today. We confirm every box is factory sealed before handover.

Warranty

The Bose SoundLink Color II ships with a 12-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Faults such as charging failure, dead buttons or distorted sound are assessed at our Nairobi CBD service desk on Kimathi Street. Keep your receipt to make the claim quick.
