This was a great addition to a pair of Bose S1 pro Bluetooth speakers. Really makes them shine when you use the S1 filter on the sub. It’s a lot easier to lug around than the Sub2 when you don’t need as much bass. It’s also pretty powerful for its size.

I got this to use with my Bose S1 Pro's. The bass is so pure, it makes you feel like you are at a concert when paired with the S1's. I like that you can stand it on end or lay it down on its side and use it as a base stand.
