    -When put this speaker with my Amazon Alexa "everywhere group", Music only played on the Bose speaker. -When Alexa command was invoked on Bose, Echo's in other rooms would stop playing music for a few seconds. -Cant answer telephone with this unit like the revolve series. -Charging base is non directional placement (unlike the revolve) easier to place on for charging. -Microphones can pick up voice commands no problem at high volume levels, Called Bose, stated AI's aren't that compatible, no future firmware updates foreseen. They recommended unit has its own separate alexa account or use google AI.

    Great sound! By far the best sounding portable speaker of all the ones we tested inside the store. Initial setup process can be a little stubborn but works fine afterwards.

    This portable speaker is loud and clear for listening to music. I also use this for listening to podcast and the voices on it is clear and loud. A little pricey but worth the price tag.

    I wanted to love this! Let me list the pros and cons: PROS: - Sound quality is fantastic!! - Style is excellent - Very well constructed - Very easy to setup CONS: - Alexa is MUCH slower on this when compared to Echo products - The microphone isn't as sensitive as we'd like. We can speak to Echo products, at a normal tone, from FAR away. That isn't the case with this speaker. We found ourselves having to repeat commands often

      Hey Matt, I am so glad that you love your new speaker and its awesome design and features. I am sorry to hear you are having some issues with Alexa. Did you know your speaker has a custom-designed microphone array can hear you speak even when the speaker's playing loud. I would advise making sure there is nothing placed on top of the speaker that could prevent this. Do reach out to us if you ever need assistance, we would love to hear from you.

    This is an awesome portable speaker. Speaking as a professional musician, this speaker not only has a clear and resonant sound, but it is also very powerful. I really love it.

    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.
