    Very good speaker! It has the famous Bose sound, though maybe not quite as good as the legendary SLIII. Convenient carry handle makes it perfect for beach or pool and you can talk to it using the Alexa function. I compared the Sonos One in the store and could tell immediately that the Bose was the better quality sound.

    Its really nice, good quality sound. The only thing is that the battery at maxnloud does not last super long but the rest of the features compensate

    Although I am pleased with this Bose bluetooth Home speaker, I, who love a VERY DEEP Base sound will be looking for a subwoofer to add to the rich sound that I am familiar with from my theater setup. Most people who do not have a sensitive ear for music, will be very happy with the sound.

    The sound quality is top tier. I don’t like this product because even if you are not using it, it does not hold a charge. I wish I would have returned it.

    • Brand response from Bose Support
      Posted .

      Hi, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoy the sound quality of the Bose Portable Smart Speaker, and we’d like to help you get the best performance from it.

      While the speaker can last up to 12 hours when playing and up to 24 hours in standby mode, the rechargeable battery will drain slightly when the speaker is not in use, especially if Alexa or Google Assistant is connected, since the speaker continues listening for voice commands in standby mode. To conserve battery life, if you’re done listening and don’t need voice assistant functionality, press and hold the Power button for two seconds to fully power off the speaker. Please note that the speaker will not appear in the Bose app when it is fully powered off.

      If you notice that the battery is draining faster than usual, our online guide has tips than can help improve battery life. You can view the guide here: https://bose.life/4bDLMi3

      We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we’re here to help you get the best performance from your speaker.

    Nice easy to use portable speaker. Has a very nice sound but can definitely get better sound and base for a lot cheaper with other brands now days. But I got this as it hooks up to my home audio so can have the same music inside and out so I definitely love that!

    I love the sound and volume on this speaker, but the app is not easy to use. I bought this speaker for my son’s service and I couldn’t get the voice prompt turned off. I followed the directions to turn it off, but not a chance. It works on my other Bose speaker, but not this one.

    Had the Soundlink speaker for years. My parents ended up wanting it. Give me a reason to shop for a new toy? Say less! I listened to this in store before purchasing it. Amazing! Totally worth the money!

    Always have what I need and some. Staff helpful when questions are asked and at times go over other items that may be compatible with the one you have in mind. When items are not available, most of the staff gives an idea when it will be available and yet try to see if some other item might be just as good or better.

    Great speaker!! Good quality sound. A bit heavy to venture out too far but great for close to home or short distances. Thank you, Bose! Also fairly easy to set up....still learning the details/features....but its fun to discover something new each time I use it.

    Bose delivers on sound quality. This one needs an open room to really shine. A small room will detract from the booming sound and distorts the clarity.
