    I didn't realize this product had no battery capacity and needed to be plugged in to work. We had originally bought it to. use by our pool and need it to run off battery power. Traded it for another version that had a battery feature

    At first it sucked that this wasn’t as mobile as I thought it was. But functionally its a great purchase because it syncs to its own version of your pandora. I can play this in one room while I have my portable bose in another room both pulling from my same pandora account but on deprecate stations.

    I am really enjoying my Bose speaker. The sounds are clear and distinct. The first time I used it, I was amazed at the volume coming from a small speaker. I have a one bedroom apartment, and the sound just fill the unit. I connect to UTube with my iphone, and I am so thrilled!!

    Good acoustics. Good, not great. Hands down better than the Amazon Alexa studio, and I havent fournd anything it wont do that the Studio will, and they are the same price. I love Bose products in general, and this one is no exception.

    I was expecting this to be loud and be able to connect with multiple speakers. I was wrong, if you live in a small house or apartment then this is the speaker for you, but if you live in a big house get something else.

    The speaker itself doesn’t boom but sounds good for a single room . The microphone has trouble picking up my voice . The app has been a pain in the butt .

    • Brand response from Bose
      Posted .

      Hello,

      Thanks for taking the time in providing us with your review.

      Sorry that you are not fully satisfied with the bass response. Many devices have sound options, like bass and treble controls or compression, do check the device menu for sound processing options and disable them. You can also relocate the system to increase bass. Sound characteristics change depending on location and environment of the sound source. Moving the system closer to a wall or corner, or placing it on or near hard surfaces, increases bass response.

      As for the microphone, we would love to look into these concerns with you. It may be that you are experiencing connectivity issues with your WiFi network and the voice assistant is struggling to respond.

      Kind regards,
      Tegan - Bose Customer Support bose

    I love the sound & power of this speaker. But it does pair with Bluetooth always. Alexa responds sometimes. And I wasn't fan of the set up either.

    Again, Bose product line provides value. I would like additional cosmetic choices but the black and other traditional colors are acceptable. But it is the quality of the product that is fantastic.

    Best sounding Assistant I've used

    Just turn on the Bose Home Speaker 300 and the intro tone lets you know you're going to be getting some serious sound from this little assistant. I couldn't wait to get it set up so I could hear more. The Bose Home Speaker 300 supports Alexa and Google Assistant, but not simultaneously. You have to pick one or the other, but swapping between the two isn't tough to do. I wish it could do them both together because I like Google for information/entertainment and Alexa for smart home controls. Google always telling me what its going to do after I tell it what to do is annoying. Alexa gives just a ding if you select that setting. So I have both in rooms where I use the Assistants. The microphone on the Home Speaker 300 seems to not be as sensitive as my $30 Alexa assistant, but seems no of the 10 or so I've tried have ever been, which is why I keep that cheap unit. I have to talk louder and repeat myself more times than I'd like. I wish there was a way in increase the mic gain. But Bose makes up for that in the sound department. And, boy does this put out some sound! After registering the product and getting it set up with Google I played a few songs - Golden Age Hip Hop for me. The amount of bass the Home Speaker 300 puts out was completely unexpected. I had my Samsung Galaxy Watch charging on the table I was setting up the Bose speaker and it was vibrating the table enough to keep knocking my watch from charging to not charging. Mids and highs were clear and balanced and the powerful bass is just icing on the cake. You really have to hear this in person to appreciate the powerful sound the little unit pumps. Bose did an incredible job! The Bose Music app is relatively basic and I don't use it for much after set up. It has access to some of the music services, but I supposed the API's are dumbed down since it can't play radios from playlists. So I always end up going to the apps themselves and cast or use the Bose as a bluetooth speaker - yes, you can use it as a stand-alone speaker if you have no wish to add the smart capabilities. Even without the assistants this is worth getting. So far the Bose Home Speaker 300 is a near perfect experience. The only thing I would like to see is being able to use Google and Alexa at the same time. Even if it doesn't happen it's still a powerful room filling speaker that's well worth getting.
