    This speaker sounds amazing BUT I had fairly consistent issues with the "voice assistant" feature of the speaker. If it weren't for that I probably would have bought more for each room in my home. It pained me to return it but simply had to.

    Barely Charges and Uses Battery Quickly

    The sound quality is phenomenal. It is slow to charge and won't keep a charge. I've been a Bose customer for over 25 years. I have the Bose sound bar which is several years old. It's still my go to because this one never fully charges, even after several days, and then dies quickly. It's like an old mule. Also, it turns on when you charge it and is hard to turn off. Ugh... I don't have time to play around with Bose customer service, so just beware the issues and if you get one, be sure and check is carefully before your return window is expired.

      Hello Michelle, I am glad that you are enjoying the sound quality. If you are noticing a short battery life on your smart speaker. I'd recommend ensuring you are using a power supply that provides 5v DC. I al so recommend trying a different USB cable so ensure that the speaker is received sufficient power.
