Customer Ratings & Reviews

Dynamic sound that I expect from Bose. Got this because of the portability and smart speaker. Looks good too. Really nice to have Alexa and be able to stream Sirius. Only drawback is that when you turn off speaker, you lose connection with Alexa and have to reconnect. I guess since it is a smart speaker then it is meant to be on all the time.

Awesome speaker. Bose got the design right, the sound right, and the embedded technology right. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Google, and Alexa all in the package out of the box. My wife, neighbors, friends, and I enjoy it on the back patio. Only portable speaker you need.

Overall excellent purchase! This unit is well used in our family. We use it out by the fire pit, shooting hoops, out on the front deck, at sports practices and the like. The WIFI functionality is must!!! And the Bluetooth works extremally well from a good distance. Awesome sound and use! The built in Alexa option is really nice and seamless in use!

The Bose Portable Smart Speaker is a true gem. Its sleek design, exceptional sound quality, and smart features make it a 5-star choice. It's portable, has voice assistants, and offers long battery life. A top-notch speaker for music lovers!

Great sound. Easy to use. Good volume. Small and compact.

Great Bose smart speaker. I bought this for the wife as a gift. She had a Bose Soundlink for several years. She loves this model even more, and the app was easy to set up. Sound is really good anywhere we take the speaker. Also the wifi feature is nice as well and the water resistant for rain or pool splashing. Would recommend.

The speaker provides great sound from such a small speaker, just what you would expect from Bose. The charge last for about 14 hours, I assume that varies with the volume. I use this speaker while Nd working and in a couple of my classic cars. The speaker works great in the cars and prevents you from having to change out the original radio.

Great for parties or just great when you’re cooking or cleaning it’s waterproof. It’s amazing. We love it. We’ve already recommended this product to most of our friends because they like that. It’s loud and it carries a base.

This speaker upgrades all the things people wanted in the Bose revolve plus Bluetooth speaker with adding voice assistant functionality and smart features. The ability to connect this with the other bose smart speakers in the line along with being able to bring it with you wherever you go is a nice upgrade. Being able to pick between voice assistants is also another nice feature making it highly versatile. I’ve heard this speaker in store and being able to test it out at home it confirms this sounds incredible. The 360 degree sound really fills a room and sounds better than the previous revolve plus speaker. Definitely an impressive sound stage considering the size and portability of this speaker with good highs, mids and lows. I highly recommend this speaker to anyone in the market for a portable smart speaker.

I can't even imagine a review less than 5 stars for anything Bose. Quality, long lasting and the sound I want. I want enough bass and I want clear higher tones. Call me old. I love Bass, but I'm also a musician so clarity throughout in the sound is imperative. This lovely device fills the room with the sweet tones of 70's R+B, current pop, bluegrass from heaven, classic rock, instrumental and religious music and also educates me through many podcasts. The spoken word as well as the music is absolutely quality. Take it from someone who knows Bose, you won't get hosed. ;)

It’s really a great speaker. Sound quality wise bose speakers always delivers. I have several bose devices at home. But there are two issues. 1. Software/Firware has an issue. Either alexa service will stop working or music serice will stop working randomly after some days. You have to reaet it by holding the play button for 10 sec and the device restarts. Which hopefully fixes thr issue. 2. The charging connection is somewhat unreliable, sometime after connecting the original charger/cable it will say it is not charging. Need to try couple of times and then it works except for these issues, it a good buy

Bose seems to be trying to compete with the Sonos line or the HomePod. Its trails FAR behind both in audio performance. It gets plenty loud and has heaps of bass. However, it just doesn’t have the clarify or fullness of Apple and Sonos product that it resembles despite being priced higher than both. It CAN operate on battery for a paltry 12 hours, which is an odd addition. Unless you’re ride-or-die for Bose, consider alternatives.

Excellent sound. Can feel the bass and high output. Type C charging makes it more user friendly. Good battery backup. Voice assistant is amazing.

I joined the Bose smart home speaker about a year ago, and I love the experience. I have the soundbar and the Bose home speaker, so adding this was a no brainer. Plays very well with Spotify and apple airplay (my 2 most widely used features), the Alexa works great (although I have them muted usually). If you are NOT a home speaker person, you may want to look into other options. Dont get me wrong, I love the sound of this speaker. It has terrific depth and power, along with portability. BUT if I did not have Bose home speakers compatible with this.... I would've probably saved $50-$100 going elsewhere for a similar experience, or buying a higher end speaker for $350. My recommendation - 1. get this if you have Bose home speakers that play nicely with it. 2. If you really want it and can wait, wait for some sales. 3. if you want a great portable speaker and want to save $, look elsewhere.

Good sound good bass for a small speaker. Easy to operate, haven’t tried the voice commands yet. Good battery life l get about 8 hrs on a charge. Took it camping got some dirt on it cleaned up easily. I would buy this item again.

it was between Bose and Ultimate ears megaboom 3.Bose won out on sound Quality only,but price was twice as much.i love the size and the weight of this speaker and sound quality.my next choice would UE at $199.

Bought this to be my car radio. Super clear and loud! Easy to bluetooth connect. Charging does take time, but it holds for a long while. I left it on overnight and it still had some juice left. I would buy this again!

This speaker not only sounds amazing, but also has either the "Alexa" or "Okay Google" options available, and hooks up directly to your Wifi. Durable, loud, and easily portable to the pool, beach or cookout. I'm tempted to get a second one since they pair together for surround sound!

Bose speaker sounds good, but this will be the 3rd one of this model Luckily I purchased the warranty each time because right around 1 1/2 years the speaker gets to a point it either doesn't power down or the bluetooth no longer works or both. I am not buying the extended warranty this time around because thats almost $200 each time and if it does it again I will look at a different brand. Now about Best Buy service. It Sucks! Sorry, just being honest. I bought a replacement warranty, but this model in Black is sold only on the Best Buy website and it's it's from a 3rd party vendor so I had to pay another $30 after tax to get it replaced. If I would've got the gray model it would have been a straight trade. I had a Black one and I wanted a Black one, plain and simple. It's available on their website so if there was an additional cost I would think they should've paid it. I bought it, they offered it so done deal, but NO, I had to pay it. Not very good service since thats not how you advertise your replacement warranty when you sell it. And when they sold it to me I was supposed to get it in two days and it's been over two weeks and I still don't have it. All it been saying on the website is it's delayed with no update. This sucks because I used that speaker everyday when I'm getting ready. I feel for the price I can't recommend this product. Should last a lot longer. Like I said in four years I'm on my 3rd one.

I own one of these Bose smart speakers i purchased from Amazon for a very good discounted price. I'm pleased with the sound performance battery could last a bit longer before charging again. Best Buy open-box price for this speaker is VERY OVER PRICED...should not be NO MORE than $200.00 in EXCELLENT CONDITION.
