    Great speaker but doesn’t support speaker groups

    If you’re getting this, as I did, for the google home connectivity, good news/bad news. Good news: It works great as a stand-alone smart speaker and connects with other Bose smart speakers through the nose connect app. The sound is incredibly impressive. Bad news: you cannot make it part of a speaker group in google home. I found a very complicated workaround to accomplish what i wanted to do but very disappointed o spent all the money for this and couldn’t do what seems like it would be a basic function.

    Sounds spectacular and can manage treble and bass separately. The only concern I had was connecting Alexa and Google Assistant.

    My first smart speaker for the home. Works great, excited to now explore all the benefits. But most importantly, the reason I purchases this particular speaker is that I feel that Bose has one of the best sound qualities and this speaker is the top of the line for portable speakers. The sound quality is excellent and it fills the room nicely. Very satisfied with this product. This was also an Open Box item, so I got an amazing deal. Thank you.

    I bought a 2nd one and have them in the living room most of the time. When sitting in between them it is like having headphones on. Awesome crisp sound, really good base.

    Nice clear sound for a portable speaker! It has a handle on the top which makes it easy to carry around. It's worth the money!

    I love it, but I don't use it for home, I use it to play sax at the pier. It is louder than the Revolve, and more bass than revolve + II. Buy the case for it - worth it if you move it often. One catch - you must turn off your iPhone for the iPad to connect to it. Other than that, a great speaker. I'm hopeful they come out with a Portable Smart II that is louder with longer battery because I'll jump all over that.

    Good speaker, bad battery life

    I own 2 Resolve Plus speakers and they sound terrific, but their bluetooth range when streaming something from the app is unreliable. Nothing worse then having a get together and the a speaker or both speakers just stop when the phone is less that 30 feet from either. I like Bose, so I bought this wifi version of the Resolve and here are my thoughts on this product. It sounds "good", but by the quotes, I mean they sound really good for a portable speaker, but to my ears, they don't sound quite as good as the Resolve +. That said, being able to airplay to these without the 30 feet bluetooth limitation is great. I have to say a couple of bad things about Bose. Their app stinks. It is not nearly as seamless and reliable as the Sonos. I know from other reviews, many folks have had the same complaint, but the Bose app continues to be unreliable. But that's not the biggest problem with this speaker. The Biggest problem is the battery life. Take the 12 hours and cut that in half - 6 hours - tops. That't the real battery life. We had a get together and I had the speakers fully charges. They lasted from about 3pm to around 8pm and they both pooped out and complete stopped. No audible warning about battery running low, either. I'm a little disappointed in these speakers and think I will be returning them.

    Sounds great, not overly bass like. Charge lasts awhile. Haven’t figured out how to use the Alexa part of it yet, it doesn’t come with instructions for that.

    I am simply in love with Bose products. Are the best ever. This is perfect for me and my home. I take it everywhere I go around the house. It has great sound. I listen to a lot of music from my phone and Pandora so it is great for me. The quality of the sound is amazing. The only thing that was weird in the beginning is that the sound was cutting and i read in the little instruction book that it cannot be located too close to any other device because it could interfere with it. since then, nothing has been better than this. Highly recommended
