Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Bose Soundtouch Wireless Link has been feeding my Bose Companion 3 Series II speakers for a couple of weeks now making them gloriously wireless! I use the 2.1 computer system as bookshelf speakers and they fill our library with fantastic sound quality. Now with the Link, the speakers are Bluetooth and wi-fi connected and are easily controlled with the SoundTouch app on our phones and tablets. If you are considering making your current speakers wireless with this Bose Soundtouch Link, here are some thoughts to consider before you buy. First the positives... - The adaptor is small! As soon as I opened the box I was impressed with the size. The footprint is about that of the average bar of soap, yet it does so much. This thing has Bluetooth, wifi, an optical/analog audio-out jack, an audio-in jack and all kinds of other internal circuitry no-doubt. Yet, it remains small enough to sit inconspicuously just about anywhere. - All needed wires are included. Optical, RCA, 3.5 mm - they are all there. - Set-up is simple. I have read a couple of reviews where people said they had to call Bose for help with configuration. Not my experience. I found that the app itself gave perfect instructions and walked me though every part of the set-up. The entire process would have taken just 5 minutes except that the Link had to download and install a firmware update. - The Soundtouch app is feature rich. Seriously there is so much to do and control if you want to. The whole experience is much more flexible than my previous wireless set-up. If you prefer to keep it simple then you can program the system to play a selection of six presets with a touch of a button. Hopefully we can ad some actual SoundTouch speakers in the future where we can just press one of the six preset buttons on top of the speaker. No app needed! The not so great... - The user interface lacks. The app is nice, but just not as intuitive as a native Apple app would be. It looks and feels more like an Android or Windows app even on my iPhone. My suspicion is that the app is designed by engineers as opposed to actual app designers :). Nothing horrible here, but still room for refinement. - The other downside is that streaming suddenly quits once every several hours. Again not horrible. Closing the App and pushing play again immediately fixes the problem. Just still a little buggy. From what I have read, Bose keeps updating and making the app better. In the end, the Bose SoundTouch Wireless Link may not be for everyone but it really deserves a try. Personally, I hope to eventually make all my existing powered speakers wireless with Bose because for me the SoundTouch ecosystem does feel like the future of wireless music.

The SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter is a wonder little adapter to add SoundTouch capabilities to your old media systems. I love my SoundTouch SA-5 amp, my two SoundTouch 10 and SoundTouch 20 for the rest of my house but I like the way I have my family room's surround sound systems is set up with my Onkyo Receiver and Bose Ceiling/Wall Speakers. But yet I was missing the SoundTouch system integration in that room. SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter solves integration problem for me. I hooked up the Link Adapter to my receiver's CD in via the fiber optical port. Now I can have SoundTouch system throughout my house. The sound coming from my system sound just as good if not better than my old CD player ( I actually removed it after installing the Link Adapter ). The installation of the SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter is just as easy as adding Bose SoundTouch 10 or 20. Now I can control every speaker in my house through the SoundTouch App. This Christmas I will be able to play Christmas all through the house.

I decided to try the Bose SoundTouch Wireless Link in an older Bose Lifestyle system since I already have a Bose Waveradio with SoundTouch that I like very much. As I expected this new SoundTouch Wireless Link allows me to listen stream music on my Bose Lifestyle system without the need to have my iPad directly wired to the system. I used Amazon Music with the system and I am really happy how it sounds my Bose Lifestyle. I like that I can remotely control the wireless link adaptor from my iPhone and iPad. I also like that I can link the other SoundTouch devices and play the same music in other rooms at the same time. The application was recently updated and it has a new design which I think that it's harder to navigate. The Amazon Music part of the application needs work. You cannot do a search for a specific artist. I didn't have the same issue with the Pandora side of the Bose application. The Amazon Music playlist do not show in the Bose application. The device also stops playing music after a while, that becomes an issue when you have to check on the issue multiple times a day. Overall, I like the device but the Bose application needs improvement.

Bose is an equivalent of reliability, quality, ease of use, predictability. I eill continue buying Bose products.

This unit is absolutely great! Our Bose wave system is at least 8 years old. Rather than spend money on a new model that was capable of receiving satellite signal reception, we did our research and found this unit was available. Very easy to hook up, downloaded the Soundtouch wireless app and that was it. I highly recommend this unit.

I'm a "baby-boomer" with a significant investment in my "old-school" home stereo system. The heart of my system is a Sony Spontaneous Twin Drive STR-GX9ES amplifier / receiver connected to a pair of Bose direct-reflecting bookshelf speakers and subwoofer. We used to enjoy listening to on-air broadcasts, vinyl records and later, CDs with the room-filling sound of our stereo. But with the advent of internet radio we started listening to streaming music and our iTunes library mainly using our portable devices and our computers connected to small, tinny-sounding speakers. That is why the Bose® - SoundTouch® Wireless Link adapter is such a great find for us. After making just two connections I can now stream music from online services like Pandora or from my network-attached storage with just a few keyboard strokes or a couple of taps on my iPhone or iPad using the Bose Sound Touch App. The Bose® - SoundTouch® Wireless Link adapter has saved my existing equipment and it's great to hear my favorite music through the full, rich sound of my stereo system again.

I purchased this item a little over a month ago and can easily recommend this product to anyone who is looking to have an easy solution to whole home audio. I was given a SoundTouch 20 for Christmas & LOVED IT! So much so I looked into and ended up buying this adapter for my surround sound setup in my family room. I now have music that can be synced up and played together in my Greatroom & Living room. I love having that ability for when people come to my house. You also have the ability to play different music in each area of the house and control both zones with you tablet/smartphone. The sound is great, and is extremely easy to setup and use. This was well worth the money. I will be purchasing this again for my soundbase speaker upstairs to expand my listening zone. I'd also someday like to get my hands on the soundtouch 30!

I read the reviews prior to buying and was hesistant since others said it was not that easy to hook up. I am not that much of a electronic techy type person and I had no issues at all! It was set up and operating within 15 minutes and I’ve been enjoying music through my Bose products and other systems since. I would highly recommend it!

This is a great way to utilize existing speakers. The only thing you need to do different with this vs a Bose speaker is that you will need to manually change the input on the receiver...vs turning music on via the app. Your receiver may have an “auto-on” feature and switch to the proper input.

I was looking for a way to use my existing home receiver and play my iTunes music from my phone or iPad throughout the house. This fits the bill perfectly. It pairs easily and does everything I hoped. I am a big Bose fan and don't mind paying more for something that just works reliably. This allows me versatility and who knows what other ways I may find to use this, such as taking it with me when we travel to houses or condos we may rent on vacation, or adding Soundlink wireless speakers.

Works great from anywhere in the house. No problems easy to set up if you are thinking of this kind of device this is the one you want

Great product to convert ordinary stereo speakers to blue tooth enabled speakers. Also great way of converting your BOSE Version 2 Sound Touch speakers to access blue tooth streaming.

It hooks up easily and connects well. I can now control ot over my phone. Some glitches but not alot.

Attached the SoundTouch to a 10yr old Bose Soundwave so I could use it as a docking entity with my smartphone. Works well for this but volume is limited.

I love my Bose Lifestyle sound system, but it is now 15 years old. This is definitely a great way of updating the system without spending a lot of money.

This thing rocks, move my old bose lifestyle to the cave and can stream my music or privileged geust! Awesome!

Attached this to an old Samsung tv audio system I had. Worked like a charm. Very easy to set up. I only wish the speakers were Bose! But it still sounds good and it's way cheaper than buying a comparable Bose SoundTouch. One note: system is now dedicated to Bose connection otherwise I can't control it using SoundTouch app

Works perfect with my Sony tv, viewing personal pictures, and playing movies from amazon videos.

Easy to set up connection to the Bose 300 soundbar and allows for sound thruout the house

Love it so much, this is my second one! No problems at all. Easy hook up.
