Bose® - SoundTouch™ Portable Wi-Fi Music System - White

I bought a Bose SoundLink II and it was terrific. So, I bought a Sound Touch Portable the week they came out. The unit sounds great, almost as good as the SoundLink. It completely fills the back yard pool area with sound. And being able to control everything (song selection, volume, etc.) from the app on my iphone made it that much better. The only trouble was that the unit lost my Wi-Fi network on a regular basis. I had to reset the unit (hold the AUX button down for 10 seconds) to get it to find the Wi-Fi network again. After explaining my issue in a survey that Bose sent, I received a phone call from Bose customer service. They offered to send a UPS shipping label, so that I could ship this one back and receive a new one. But first they wanted to troubleshoot the issue. After making a few changes in my Wi-Fi network settings, the problem is totally gone. It never looses the Wi-Fi network connection now, and is a pleasure to use and enjoy. This is an amazing unit. If you have issues, call Bose, and they will make it right. The customer service rep even called back a few days later to make sure the problem had not returned. He even gave me his e-mail address in case I had any other issues. Now that is customer service. Bose is first rate all the way. Buy this unit. You will not regret it

I bought this for my sibling as a birthday present and added a Pandora membership for non-stop streaming of playlists. Super easy software installation (note - initial setup must be on a desktop computer, not your iPad). Amazing range and control from the iPad makes this a totally user-friendly, dynamic gift!

I began to take interest in the Bose SoundTouch products to find a replacement for my other WiFi music system. As a Bose fan, I was please to see that Bose now offers WiFi music systems. The SoundTouch portable works great when I am on the road. I can listen to my iPhone music library in my hotel room with Bose quality sound. When I return home, the SoundTouch portable joins my other Bose products for a whole house music experience.

I have been using the new Bose SoundTouch Wifi music system, and this is a fantastic product. First of all, out of the box the product looks great. It is well designed for ease of use and blends in well with its surroundings. First set up was very easy. It took no more than 15 minutes from opening the box until I had access to all of my iTunes music, as well as Pandora and other free internet radio stations. Setting up the presets is also very easy - you simply hold down the present button of your choice and next time the music is right there. The remote is easy to use and very intuitive. Ultimately everyone cares about the sound more than anything else. And for the size, this product delivers. It has very good bass and good treble. Midrange could be a bit better, but for a product this small, I am not complaining. In summary, this product is an excellent digital music player, works seamlessly with your iTunes and streaming music accounts, and produces very good sound. An excellent value.

Bought for son and he takes it everywhere He had a few issues during initial set up, but he figured them out after "reading the instructions"

I got this product about 2 weeks ago, and I've been using it everyday since. What's great about this product is its sound quality. For a small, portable speaker, it does an excellent job in sound quality. It is also very easy to set up, just connect it to your Wifi network and computer, then simply follow the instruction and you should be done in 5 minutes. I can literally carry this speaker to anywhere in my house where Wifi signal covers, and play music from all of my devices (computer, iPhone, iPad) which are synced with the speaker. Also, its design is great, good looking and doesn't take much space. The only two things I did not enjoy about this speaker its the price and the fact that it doesn't support bluetooth. It is a $400 speaker, and you can definitely get some other speakers with better price-quality ratio. But if you like Bose and have some money laying around, it is definitely a good investment. The fact that it doesn't support bluetooth is disappointing, but its wifi support should satisfy most of your needs. It would be better though if it supports bluetooth, as sometimes my friends comes over and it would be easier if they can just connect to the speaker via bluetooth. It is still a great product without bluetooth.

I always used a SoundDock with an old iPhone to listen to internetradio. Now with the new Soundtouch I have everything in one device. The only setback is that you Need a Computer to set it up. When it is once configured (WLAN etc.) it can be controlled by an iPad app. or by the Buttons on top of the device.

It's awesome with great sound quality and even better because you can listen to streaming songs.
