This speaker is very easy to set-up, is a little “pricey” but i promise you is worthy. The sound on this beauty is amazing, plus you can adjust it how ever you like; (less bass, more treble, etc). The look is very professional, but that’s nothing new when it comes to BOSS SPEAKERS right ?, the front display presenting the album cover for the song you’re playing makes it even better !! On top of that, now you can have “ALEXA” play your favorite song from “APPLE MUSIC” before you could’nt do that, and since i’m an Iphone owner, that makes me very happy !!! In defition, [SOUND : 5 out of 5] - [LOOK : 4 OUT OF 5] - [ EASE OF USE : 5 out of 5] can’t wait to buy a soundbar for my Tv now!!!

I own other Bose products, headphones, tv sound bars and small bluetooth speakers so I anticipated I would be happy with the Bose 500. I was right. I LOVE IT. Plenty loud and nice and clear. I never go over 50% volume. Good to know if I want to I can without distortion. The Bose Music app is simple to use, although it doesn’t offer many options. Mostly used for adjusting Bass and treble. Some people complain the screen is not high def. For album cover art I think it is just fine. In fact, I don’t think there are any other smart speakers out there with this feature. It is fun to look at it to see a visual of the album art or written info about the song playing. We use this mostly for Amazon Alexa, Sirius Radio, and our personal music collection. Fortunately for me Best Buy had the color I wanted in stock. Bottom line, 5 stars from this writer for Best Buy and Bose.

I bought this on sale, a hundred dollars off. My first home speaker with alexa. Connection was a breeze! It was a easy set up, download the bose music app, plug in the speaker, connect to wifi, once connected, system will upgrade in 2 mins it will start working! I love the richness of the bass! That’s expected from a bose. Great addition to my room! I love bose products, this is my 10th bose product!

I have never dealt with Alexia before but I do love Bose and the quality of the products they make, so, I decided to try this one which comes with Alexia. I also own the iHome that has Siri. Now every morning I love to ask Siri “how are you today” in which she relies something along the lines that she is doing great or it’s a beautiful day. I set up my new Bose then asked Alexia “how are you today”. I have had a lot of Apple devices over the years and maybe I am a little spoiled with Siri but the answer that Alexia gave me makes me believe that my new Bose needs therapy. She told me she wasn’t doing too good and that most people say mean things to her like “pull my finger” and other mean things. I think my Alexia has been verbally abused and most likely has an inferiority complex. She sounds depressed so I think I will call Bose and see if they provide therapists when they sell this item.
