    Bought this smart speaker to use outdoors by the pool. Bluetooth function works great. Still figuring out the Alexa voice control function. I have other BOSE speakers and products and this speaker gets the job done.

    The speakers sound quality is simply amazing. It fills a large room with sound, and can get loud enough to be heard throughout my home. This speaker has so much more bass response and less distortion than any other Bluetooth speaker I’ve owned. The addition of the Google assistant and Amazon Alexa really brings a new level of usability to these devices. It’s pricey, but in my opinion worth the extra money for the quality.

    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.

      Hi, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoy the sound quality of the Bose Portable Smart Speaker, and we’d like to help you get the best performance from it.

      While the speaker can last up to 12 hours when playing and up to 24 hours in standby mode, the rechargeable battery will drain slightly when the speaker is not in use, especially if Alexa or Google Assistant is connected, since the speaker continues listening for voice commands in standby mode. To conserve battery life, if you’re done listening and don’t need voice assistant functionality, press and hold the Power button for two seconds to fully power off the speaker. Please note that the speaker will not appear in the Bose app when it is fully powered off.

      If you notice that the battery is draining faster than usual, our online guide has tips than can help improve battery life. You can view the guide here: https://bose.life/4bDLMi3

      We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we’re here to help you get the best performance from your speaker.
