I think my Bose is depressed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.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.

Bose home speaker 500
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.am rarely disappointed by Bose, and this is definitely no exception. This compact speaker is crisp and clear and has the added ability to connect to Alexa and my Prime Music account and Pandora. I have it connected to my phone via Bluetooth. The volume range is amazing, filling the room with great clear sound. I have been looking for a high end speaker to use as music therapy, so the ability for high volume with clear reproduction was essential. True Bose sound in a ver compact design with true stereo reproduction

Bose Home Speaker 500The Bose Home Speaker 500 delivers wireless audio via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, along with Amazon Alexa voice assistance, but is somewhat overpriced for the sound quality it delivers.

Q: QuestionIs this speaker. Bluetooth. Connectable to any device
Asked by Mally.
- A:Answer I tried to connect it to my smart TV and was unable to do so. I read that Bose does this on purpose so that you have to buy their entertainment system, which is pretty pricey, sounds good, but not good enough for the price. I believe you are able to pair this speaker with other Bose speaker though.

Asked by Cristina.
- A:Answer Thank you for your recent question regarding our Home Speaker 500. This Home Speaker is auto sensing 100-240 V, at 50-60 Hz. As such, provided you're using the right power ports/cables, this can be used in countries within this voltage range. You can connect to this system through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or directly via AUX. If you use Bluetooth or AUX, you can pair to a computer and play any source onto the system (downloaded music, video players, online sources etc.). If you use Wi-Fi with our Bose Music App on a mobile device, you can access internet radio stations through our Tune-In service. We hope this answers your questions!
