Q: QuestionDoes this Portable Home Speaker work With Apple Music ?(5 answers)
A: AnswerYes but only via Bluetooth. Apple will not forfeit the app controls to a third party.Answered by Darth0l0mew
- A: AnswerRead my review. I was so excited to finally get this speaker since I own or owned products from Bose and their products are always top premium. My main use for the speaker was to connect my laptop for TV streaming (polish TV, Netflix, You Tube etc) and have a great speaker experience. First of all the set up is super fast, easy and Bose application works great. Playing music from phone, Amazon music, Sirius was great as far as the sound and 360 experience. Using Alexa was also very well integrated and easy to use. The problem started with streaming videos and watching any video content from the computer. Everything works great until you go forward or back with video content or when your movie is buffering even for a second, this is when the audio lag starts. The sound from the speaker is about 0.2-0.5 second faster than the content you are watching so pretty much the voice does not follow the lips of person you are watching in your video. I have tried everything: you cannot update the driver on Bose because the newest is installed after set up, I rolled back my drivers, reinstalled audio Realtek on my laptop, tried different drivers for audio card (Microsoft, Toshiba, generic, you name it), run diagnostic for sound bluetooth, actual speaker to no avail. I connected this to my other laptop , same thing and I understand that You Tube for example is not proffesional video site but Netflix definitely is and has the same problem.The only way to make it work is to disconnect the Bose speaker and connect again but obviously that works if you do not do anything with you video, that means skipping ads, moving forward, stopping because it causes latency again. Obviously who wants to connect speaker back and forth after paying almost $400 and have that issue? I guess no one. My UE speaker work fine every time, even some cheap speaker that I use for biking has no problem working with computer but BOSE does. This is not what I have expected, and there is a lot of forums going on on the web with people having the same issues. I went back to Best Buy and returned it with a big regret because as for the sound it is a well made speaker. Sound specialist told me at Best Buy that this speaker is mostly designed to stream music and tend to have latency with streaming video content. I ended up with UE Megablast, works perfectly, timing is superb.
