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

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.

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.

Fantastic bose speaker but unable to set up music for voice activation contacted bose unsupportive?? Unfortunately with great reluctance I had to return the speaker due this.

Great sound with a long lasting battery. Easy to use with the Alexa voice control. An exquisite finish. Generally, it’s an excellent product. I love it.

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

This speaker is a bit pricey but it sounds really good. Have it on in the kitchen all the time. Can take in the garden too

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.

Vocals are very very good, Bass is lacking, The battery life isn’t as bad as made out providing you keep it a sensible volume It’s just not worth the premium price in my opinion

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

Es macht Spass Musik zu hören

An astonishing good speaker with great sound and awesome battery life.

Fantastic sound quality and easy to use. I was having second thoughts even after purchase but after using the product, I am 100% convinced…. Awesome product
