PROS: • Music quality • Battery life • Ability to connect multiple Bluetooth devices • Ease of setup and integration with other Amazon Alexa devices • Ability to adjust the bass and treble levels CONS: • Infrequent Bluetooth signal dropout • At high volume levels, the speaker becomes very distorted • Price • USB Type-C charging • Charging cradle is a separate purchase REVIEW: It’s not a surprise that this Bose Portable Home Smart Speaker is a winner; Bose has always been a company where its brand recognition lives up to the quality of its products. I really am pleased with this product, both for form and function. As soon as I received this item, I put it on to charge. I was surprised to find that the battery only took 2-3 hours to get to full charge. I have an older Bose Sound Dock, and the battery took at least 5 hours to charge. The quick charging was great to see, just out of the box. The unit connects seamlessly to the app, which is good too, although I did have to fumble to find the bass and treble controls. The unit connected seamlessly to my WiFi and to my other Amazon Alexa devices. It immediately paired to my SiriusXM Radio account too. The battery lasts quite a long time while being played at a ‘normal’ volume level, and using Alexa here and there. There is a function of the power switch, where you can set it to just be a voice assistant and not stay paired to Bluetooth devices; it does save a good bit of battery life that way. For as much electronics as I have, I have still not adopted USB Type-C, so it is something to get used to. I do plan to buy the charging cradle, so I don’t have to plug / unplug the unit. It is $29, which isn’t bad, but for a ‘portable’ unit however, the cradle should have come with the unit and not as a separate purchase. It could have been advertised as a ‘truly portable’ unit, where you simply grab it and go, and not fumble with the plug. I use Amazon Alexa in my smart home, so I did not evaluate the Google voice assistant. The Alexa voice assistant works as well as a standalone Alexa device, with the same functionality, flexibility, and availability of Skills. I love the fact that I can take Alexa to other parts of my apartment and still have her available. I’m very much a person that recalls things ‘on the fly’, so if I think of a task I need to do, a house product I need to buy, or a grocery item I need to buy, I can have Alexa add it as usual…and still be listening to music. SO, about the music. It compares extremely well with other Bose products. Smooth and very powerful. The bass and treble can be adjusted via the companion app; I do like that very much, since Bose products can be heavy on the bass right out of the box. The volume goes unexpectedly, very high. The bass will get distorted and start popping / cutting out at the highest volume, but depending on the song you are playing, the volume that produces distortion is beyond what you’d normally listen to. I’ve taken the unit on picnics and a tailgate, and it has been perfect. I have experienced infrequent, random dropout of the Bluetooth connectivity, lasting for a moment; it does not happen often enough to drastically affect my review. Aesthetically, it looks great and it feels great in the hand. This item is solid / heavy (in a good way), which is great since it is portable. The unit tapers in a bit at the base but is extremely sturdy. Though it has no bearing on my review, the handle throws me off; it looks like a rope you’d use to moor a boat to a dock. It provides flexibility and is comfy in your hand though.
