    5/5 recommend. Sound quality is amazing. Only thing is that Alexa/google features aren’t super intuitive.

    Its does play louder then the older speakers but you cant use as a speaker on your phone unless you have a apple phone and for 400 dollars it should work for both android and iPhone

      Hi, I am sorry to hear you have not been able to connect the speaker to your android phone. This speaker does work with apple devices via airplay and android devices via bluetooth.

    After our Bose Wave radio finally died, the kids suggested we go diskless, so we got the Bose Portable Smart Speaker. The sound quality is great - what you would expect from Bose. However, the Alexa feature doesn't work well. We spent hours on the phone with both Bose and Amazon trying to make it work, to avail. This expensive high quality speaker now functions as an effective door stop.

    It could be better the base is great but dies quickly and takes a very ling time to charge. Once the speaker goes below a certain percentage its very low and just dies off quickly. The sound is great tho and connects really easy.

      Hello, I am glad that you enjoy the Portable Smart speaker. The battery life has up to 12 hours when in active use and up to 24 when in standby mode. If you are not getting this amount of battery life, you can check out some of our troubleshooting recommendations here: https://bose.life/3wlw0ER.

      You should find that the speaker will take 4 hours to charge fully with the included Bose power supply. Should you need any further assistance, please contact our technical support teams who will be happy to provide further help. You can find their contact information here: https://bose.life/3Co9Rd0.
