Bose Portable Smart Speaker—With Alexa Voice Control Built in, Silver

Great speaker

I always like Bose. I am happy with speaker. nice shape and very handy to carry around or outdoor. Very decent sound, crisp voice and deep bass.. I little bit fiddly in connecting to the app but easy to connect using bluetooth.. I would recommend to music lovers

Once I got over the teething issues this is an amazing speaker! I won't go on about the sound etc, because everyone else has. All I'll add is than my son's have 2 versions of the smaller but similar shaped Bose speakers. They agree this one sounds the best and want to swap with me (but I'm not going for that!). The only problem I had was that saying "Alexa" worked fine while the speaker was on, but the wake word would not get the speaker out of standby. I swapped to Google Assistant and had the same issue. So, I removed the Alexa account, disabled the Bose skill and performed a full factory reset (instructions all on-line). After that it just worked! I like that I don't have to use bluetooth and can stream via Spotify Connect or Google Cast. As it's a speaker in the kitchen (for the family, though strictly it's mine!) so it means I can start playing something from Spotify or steam radio stations via Alexa and then remember to take the dog for a walk without the music stopping while I'm gone. When I've lost the battle of who decides what we listen to the kids tend to use bluetooth to connect (they say it's quicker). Sound quality is brilliant whichever we use.

I think it’s pricier. The package delivered had seal broken. Overall sound quality is good. I think Bose should either drop the price or improve upon sound quality.

Superb sound. Very difficult to set up though even when I downloaded the instructions. Love that it can be carried from room to room, garden and further.

It looks great, sounds great (albeit maybe a bit less-detailed at lower volumes), and is rock-solid functionality-wise - no resets, no fiddling with the app or anything like that ever since I set it up for the first time. Full Alexa functionality - in fact Alexa works better on it than on the 1st-gen Echo!

Reviewing after using 9 months. Pros: * Very good sound quality Cons: * Nothing gets played. The only way to connect is either via bluetooth or airplay. Both lags a lot. There is a visible latency while watching movies much these speakers useless. * Bluetooth disconnects frequently * Smart speaker doesnt have a good integration with Alexa/Google. I have to format it on daily basis to get alexa working. My first experiece with bose wasn't pleasent. Feels like wasted my money.

Brilliant sound quality as you would expect from Bose. Easily portable. I have prime contract so Alexa will play over 2 million songs from music library which is wonderful. I ordered silver grey but I did think from the picture that the top part would be metallic silver not matt grey plastic. In hindsight would probably have opted for black. Well worth the money and would definitely recommend.

Purtroppo devo rendere il prodotto perché l'alimentatore incluso nella confezione è UK e non italiano. Alla Bose non sono riusciti a risolvere la questione inviandomi l'adattatore giusto.. Non mi è piaciuto il servizio post vendita. Mi sa che il prezzo inferiore al sito bose sia dovuto proprio al fatto che gli adattatori inclusi nella confezione siano compatibili solo con le prese in UK.

I haven't tested the battery yet for how long it will last. I just newly received it and tested right away for the sound quality and compatibility with Samsung S22 ultra. The connection is very easy. It's great sound and clarity and loudness is similar almost to Bose soundtouch 30. I'm so happy with it. I hope the battery will last long when used outside

my best go to speaker for my home, sometimes I carry for my personal travel as well. Second speaker, first one used for 5 years before I started having issues, second one for a year or so, working great. Great Product!

Es macht Spass Musik zu hören

Excellent sound quality, surround sound with clarity, loudness and long battery life. Solid built, beautiful design and premium materials. You can use it with other Bose products like I am using it paired with my Bose smart soundbar at the same time listening music in different rooms. I tested this one (and other bose speakers) for listening in showrooms and compared with compatible rivals like Devialet, Bang & Olufsen, Klipsch (I'm using a pair of bookshelves R50M), Harman Kardon and few other brands, but I found this one the most bang for the bucks with little to no compromise. Other brands had more substantial downsides for my use and different sound signatures but I liked this one the best of all. Using it for more than a year now.
