Product Manuals

Q: Is this speaker. Bluetooth. Connectable to any device

A: I tried to connect it to my smart TV and was unable to do so.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
ONE OF THE BEST “SMART SPEAKER”
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!!!

Love It - Classy Bose Smart Speaker
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.
