    I have owned the the Bose soundlink 3 for 5 years and that speaker is wonderful. Good quality sound and only 1 button for it to instantly turn on and connect to my phone. This new speaker starts to speak to me after I turn it on, sometimes requires a few presses of the button for it to connect to my phone. Then It requires you to hold a button for it to turn off. A little too much going on here. The simplicity was much more convenient on older speakers.

      Hey,

      It's great to hear you're a long-time Bose fan! Sorry to hear that you personally experienced issues with the speaker. If you're playing from your phone via Bluetooth, the Portable Home Speaker features an easily accessible button on the top to activate this mode.

    I use this to ride my bike while my children run beside me. This has a better sound from the other bose ones, and Alexia is an added bonus.

    Excellent sound that you expect from Bose. Slightly better than what you with Apple's original HomePod (Not the HomePod mini) and better than Sonos. Connectivity is not great. While it supports Airplay2, it does not always connect. I have to power off and power back on in order for it to display on the airplay network. Not sure why this is.

    Super great sound . The price is too expensive, but I knew if it was Bose then it was top quality in sound so I splurged. Love it. The app works well with it.

    Batter life is not so great. I have 2 of these and on a full charge battery last about 6 hours. On the first one I purchased the battery went bad after about 1 year and was no longer in warranty I had to pay $80 to send to Bose and have a repair.
