Customer Ratings & Reviews

It has a very clear sound. Battery last long time and it's very easy to use. I take it everywhere every day.

This is a fantastic little speaker that works incredibly well with Apple AirPlay. I was able to stream music from my AppleTV with no issues at all. Easy setup, super portable, fantastic battery life.

I started the speaker playing music from Pandora in an adjacent room streamed from my phone. My girlfriend commented the sound was really rocking (at less than half volume). She was amazed that the music was coming from this small well designed portable speaker when I brought it into the room. I rarely use the WiFi smart speaker aspect of the device since I always have my phone with me but when I did it worked well also. Again, everything you'd expect from a Bose product.

The person who helped us in store was great. Speaker is great for my husband. Can hear and understand everything on TV.

Great sound and equality. Very portable & battery life is great too.

Took a couple tries, with two Bose apps, but overall fairly easy to set up bluetooth Excellent sound quality, easy to sync with phone to play music

Sound is great. Nice bass. I like connecting it to other wifi speakers

I decided to purchase this speaker for my townhouse that I use for work. The sound is fantastic and the bass is surprisingly strong for this size speaker. Needless to say, I got a visit from my neighbor two days in a row asking me to turn down my music which I had playing as background music so it wasn't loud by any means, but the bass travels through walls very well. Very happy with this purchase!

The sound out of this little beast is better than my Soundtouch! And just as loud when cranked up. I was a bit skeptical given it's size: "How can this make any bass at all?" happily, I can report that it has a full, rich, tone that easily fills a room, or gives a very fulfilling sound outdoors. Overall, I have zero regrets over the price tag for a device I can use anywhere.

Not the cheapest, but it was definitely the best portable I heard in the store. The old 'you get what you pay for' thing. I'm a professional musician, so I'm discerning and can't just have any old speaker system. Shocking amount of bass for a small box and nobody in the house wanted to lug around something enormous. You WILL be surprised by the performance.

We initially looked for a main home speaker, especially for our record player. But we found this, was blown away by the sound, and it has not disappointed at home. With it being portable though, that makes this even better and easier to recommend. Good battery life.

Speaker is wonky. I don’t write reviews often and when I do they are almost exclusively positive. The issue I have with this speaker is twofold. First, the battery life is not all that it is advertised by Bose to be. On this point, after charging it to 100% for the first time, it somehow died after at max 2 hours of use. Since then, I have continued to be unimpressed by the battery life. I have also noticed extremely slow charge times, which I estimate are roughly twice as long as Bose advertises. I probably have a faulty product but I am too busy to go through some onerous process to ship in my product that’ll leave me without the product to use at all for who knows how long. My second issue has been connectivity. It’s too complicated. I know how to make it work, but it is too complicated. I’ve had some glitchy stuff occur that from perspective is a manufacturer issue, not user error. I’m pretty tech savvy and have extensive experience with A/V equipment, semiconductors, electronics, etc. Something just ain’t right. If I had to guess, Bose made this product to compete with similar Wi-Fi portable speakers such as those made by Sonos. Regardless of these two issues I decided to keep the Bose Portable speaker. Why? The sound quality is amazing. It is artful. I love the Bose Music app that allows me to customize the treble & base. if the battery life issue is specific to my product and assuming I will get around to submitting a warranty claim to Bose and hoping they quickly fix it, then I would easily rate this a 5 star device. Connectivity issues can be worked around, but a short lasting battery that takes 5+ hours to charge is a pretty big detractor and keeps me from being able to highly recommend this speaker.

Great smart speaker with built in Google or Amazon digital assistants. You can play many internet streaming music services such as Amazon Music or Spotify. Great sound quality and decent battery life. I just wish Bose included a speakerphone call feature. You can’t place phone calls like you can on other Bose Bluetooth speakers. However it’s a overall great portable smart speaker.

I purchased this speaker for my patio This is a great small smart speaker for relaxing outside. I have added a Bose sound link speaker and the sound is very good for such small speakers The cost is a little more than most other small speakers but the incredible sound is more than worth it

Excellent! This product works well in most small to medium sized settings. It is very useful when one needs quality sound from a small device.

If you are looking best sounding 360 bluetooth smart speaker this is it. The APP is KILLER for this program. will connect to XM radio, spotify etc. Also has bluetooth and speaker has built in Google Assistant and Alexa. If you go into best buy and listen to all the demos they have, hands down for the size this is the best sounding one period. Go get it you will be happy you did

I’ve been waiting for a wifi speaker that is battery operated!!! We use it on the porch and by the pool to listen to SiriusXM radio without having to plug it in. Alexa enabled makes it nice to give verbal commands instead of using remote or having to get out of the pool. And the sound quality?? It’s a BOSE. No need for explanation

Love this speaker, but the louder the volume. The less bass you get. Perfect for in-home entertainment. If you're looking for a loud, high bass. Then this is not the greatest choice. Definitely super loud, great battery, and you can't beat the Alexa addition, but the bass is only good at a mid volume level.

Very good product. We use it every day. Love the sound. It is small and not in the way. I looks nice. We keep it plugged in so we do not know about the battery life.

The sound from this portable speaker is incredible. There are multiple connection types (Bluetooth and Airplay). I found out it can be expanded to work seamlessly with other Bose speakers.
