    Amazing speaker with awesome sound, (quite loud; which is difficult to come across) quality build, long lasting battery (I’ve had this speaker for about 11 months and the battery still lasts about 10 hours on Bluetooth). Seamless connectivity to my Bose Sound-bar in my living room.

    The product has great sound quality and the slim style makes it easy to set right on counter in kitchen without looking out of place. I bought this as a gift for my daughter and son-in-law and they're really enjoying it!!

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

    Everything you'd expect from a Bose product.

    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.

    This speaker produces nice sound which Bose is known for. The AirPlay 2 compatibility sets this unit apart and gives it extra versatility. Overall very happy product owner.

    Love our Bose Portable Smart Speaker! Gave it to my husband for Father’s Day but I am enjoying it as much as he is. The sound is fantastic and easy to set up.

    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 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!

    A little beast of a speaker!

    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.

    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

    Sound quality amazing; battery life very poor

    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.

      Hi Mark, I am glad you love the sound of your speaker and the bass/treble customization avaliable in the app. I am surprised that you having difficulty with connecting your earbuds. I am certain that following our guide can help you with this: https://bose.life/413o6wN

      2 hours is definitely not the standard battery life we expect from your speaker. I recommend making sure you use the charger provided and checking our guide here to make sure that the battery is working as its best! https://bose.life/3KyzUli

      If you need further help, our customer support team would love to assist you: https://bose.life/3nTDo5H

    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

    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.
