    Sounds spectacular and can manage treble and bass separately. The only concern I had was connecting Alexa and Google Assistant.

    I initially have issues connecting the bluetooth/wireless feature. I attempted several times before I finally figured it out. One may assume it was user error but speaking frankly, the instructions are not crystal clear and if you are not tech savvy, then you may have issues as I did. Thereafter, it's okay. The volume isn't what I thought it would be and you have to choose either Google Assistant or Alexa. They both cannot be loaded at the same time....at least that is what I found to be true. But again, I'm not tech savvy but if they are, then that means the directions to do so are not crystal clear! And finally, ....there isn't a remote to control the volume! All in all, I would not recommend this product based off price.

    I love it, but I don't use it for home, I use it to play sax at the pier. It is louder than the Revolve, and more bass than revolve + II. Buy the case for it - worth it if you move it often. One catch - you must turn off your iPhone for the iPad to connect to it. Other than that, a great speaker. I'm hopeful they come out with a Portable Smart II that is louder with longer battery because I'll jump all over that.

    I bought a 2nd one and have them in the living room most of the time. When sitting in between them it is like having headphones on. Awesome crisp sound, really good base.

    Nice clear sound for a portable speaker! It has a handle on the top which makes it easy to carry around. It's worth the money!

    Good speaker, bad battery life

    I own 2 Resolve Plus speakers and they sound terrific, but their bluetooth range when streaming something from the app is unreliable. Nothing worse then having a get together and the a speaker or both speakers just stop when the phone is less that 30 feet from either. I like Bose, so I bought this wifi version of the Resolve and here are my thoughts on this product. It sounds "good", but by the quotes, I mean they sound really good for a portable speaker, but to my ears, they don't sound quite as good as the Resolve +. That said, being able to airplay to these without the 30 feet bluetooth limitation is great. I have to say a couple of bad things about Bose. Their app stinks. It is not nearly as seamless and reliable as the Sonos. I know from other reviews, many folks have had the same complaint, but the Bose app continues to be unreliable. But that's not the biggest problem with this speaker. The Biggest problem is the battery life. Take the 12 hours and cut that in half - 6 hours - tops. That't the real battery life. We had a get together and I had the speakers fully charges. They lasted from about 3pm to around 8pm and they both pooped out and complete stopped. No audible warning about battery running low, either. I'm a little disappointed in these speakers and think I will be returning them.

    Sounds great, not overly bass like. Charge lasts awhile. Haven’t figured out how to use the Alexa part of it yet, it doesn’t come with instructions for that.

    Works great with Amazon music. Sound and portability is excellent. Would be even better with Apple Music integration, but that’s not a negative.

    I am simply in love with Bose products. Are the best ever. This is perfect for me and my home. I take it everywhere I go around the house. It has great sound. I listen to a lot of music from my phone and Pandora so it is great for me. The quality of the sound is amazing. The only thing that was weird in the beginning is that the sound was cutting and i read in the little instruction book that it cannot be located too close to any other device because it could interfere with it. since then, nothing has been better than this. Highly recommended

    Terrific sound quality. My major complaint is that, even though Alexa is built in and the speaker can be made part of a group for multi-room sound, It cannot be made part of a group with speakers other than Bose with Soundlink. You will need to replace ALL of your non-Bose speakers to make it work!
