    Amazing Flexibility and Feature Set, But Expensive

    The Bose S1 Pro is an amazing little package, with surprising sound quality and ultimate portability. But this comes at a price, which is typical of Bose products (especially their PA systems). Whether the cost to performance ratio is acceptable is highly dependent on the individual, but what I can say for certain is that this unit is quite amazing in what it can do. I'll start with the cons. As previously mentioned, the biggest con to most will be the cost. For the same price, you can get a number of good performing powered speakers, though nothing that I know of comes close to the S1 in terms of portability. The next biggest issue for my particular needs is that it only includes two instrument/mic level inputs. This means you're either limited to a vocal + guitar type setup, or you'll need an external mixer. Also, Bose did not include a slip cover with the S1, which is disappointing. Finally, real directions were also not included, meaning you need to go online to get the manual for the S1. Now, the pros of this unit. The S1 Pro strikes an incredibly impressive balance of portability and sound quality. Hooking it up for use by my band's singer (vocals and acoustic) during band practice, which included 2 electric guitars, a bass guitar, and an electronic drum kit to contend with, the S1 Pro kept up with volume levels set below half. The speaker cranked out very good sound quality, especially when considering the size of it. The ToneMatch feature also seems to work well, as it seems to enrich the sound of guitars. Also, for whatever reason, the model being sold by Best Buy apparently includes a battery, which looks to be a $100 add-on else where. This is an awesome accessory for the S1, as it gives you ultimate flexibility to use the speaker in any scenario without the need for power. Bose says the battery will last about 6 hours, and I'm inclined to believe it, as I've used it around my house, as well as at practice for at least 4 hours and it's still going strong. Finally, including Bluetooth connectivity was a good move on Bose's part. This allows you to use this as a monster portable speaker for tailgating, or to easily play music during set breaks. Great feature. Overall, this speaker performs incredibly well in scenarios that it's made for. For instance, it's not made to be a PA for a full electric rock band, but would function well as a personal monitor, and if paired with another S1 would function extremely well as a PA for an acoustic setup (guitars, keys, and vocals for instance). For those looking for a PA setup that affords incredible flexibility and very good sound quality, this fits the bill, though at a price point that will undoubtedly turn many away. For me, it's worth paying the premium.

    No surprise is that the music and voices sound awesome through this thing. The surprise is that it doesn’t get as loud as you’d think.

    Typical Bose speaker. I was really hoping for more. Thought the price point would change things but no. Great patio speaker, sound distorts around 15 feet. Bass feels high close to the speaker but turns into mid tone past that. There is options to adjust bass and treble if you’re hooking in but not on Bluetooth. Awesome effort but money wasted.

    For the price point I feel a little cheated

    So, for the price point I feel a little cheated sound wise, because I would love for this thing to be much louder, and I've heard ones that are much louder like the expedition. But the reason I own it, is because the mic interference doesn't occur when I am near it, or cross in front of it by mistake. So this is important for me when I am performing. But I do wish sound wise, it would deliver a better sound. At times the sound almost feels too muted. Hence I give it 4 stars, not 5.

    I love Bose Products, in my option they have the best speakers in the industry. I purchased this as a portable speaker for when I do movies outside and music while camping. This speaker I unfortunately had to return to BestBuy. It was the first Bose product I have had to return. I still think you should give it a shot! It is an amazing speaker!
