Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Bose S1 Pro+ is a remarkably powerful speaker that surpasses the capabilities of an ordinary Bluetooth speaker. Designed for both consumer and professional use, this exceptional product strives to offer unparalleled flexibility while remaining accessible to all users. The connectivity options featured on the back of the Bose S1 Pro+ are specifically tailored to meet the demands of prosumers. Upon receiving the unit, I wasted no time in organizing a karaoke night at my place, reaching out to friends for a fun night. A talented friend of mine, who happens to perform live music in our local town, brought along a microphone and the necessary cables. I took the opportunity to ask her opinion on the unit, and she was thoroughly impressed. The build quality of the Bose S1 Pro+ is truly outstanding, as is customary with Bose products. It exhibits a robust construction with no loose or rattling components, while the addition of a sturdy grab handle makes it effortlessly portable. When searching for a powerful speaker, sound quality becomes the ultimate deciding factor for most people, including myself. It must deliver sufficient volume to fill large open spaces, such as backyards, yet prioritize clarity in vocals, well-defined mid-ranges, and satisfying bass. In this regard, the Bose S1 Pro+ excels. In my personal experience, it tends to emphasize the highs and mids more than the bass, but the bass response is perfectly suited for 90% of songs. For those seeking an enhanced bass experience, integrating a subwoofer with this speaker would be advisable. Nevertheless, for the vast majority of individuals, I firmly believe that this speaker will leave you absolutely awestruck. In conclusion, the Bose S1 Pro+ is an exceptional speaker that combines impressive power, versatile functionality, and superior sound quality. Its prosumer-focused connectivity options make it ideal for both casual users and professionals alike. The build quality is top-notch, ensuring durability and ease of transport. While the emphasis leans towards highs and mids, the speaker still delivers satisfying bass for most music genres. Whether you're hosting a karaoke night or looking to fill a large open space with immersive sound, the Bose S1 Pro+ is sure to impress. With its ability to deliver clear vocals, present mid ranges, and a well-balanced sound signature, this speaker has the potential to exceed your expectations. For those seeking a remarkable audio experience, the Bose S1 Pro+ is an excellent choice that will undoubtedly leave you amazed.

No eco features. Now I am just using it as music purposes

My entire family is musical and enjoys singing together and performing for others. The Bose S1 Pro+ PA is a fantastically flexible audio system for us that works as well for home studio sessions as it does getting out in public. For our home and small venue purposes it’s the perfect blend of performance and portability. One feature is that it’s supposed to automatically tailor the sound to be optimal for its orientation, and I don’t doubt that it does, though my experience is that it almost always sounded best and more full when oriented in tower mode with the handle up rather than on its side. For the OCD inclined, the Bose logo can be easily turned and “locked-in” to match your chosen orientation. The inputs are basic, common, and flexible, with two combination XLR + ¼” inputs, and then a third input that combines both Bluetooth and a 3.5mm port, so technically 4 inputs with 3 individual LED digital volume controls. It’s good to know and confirm that the combo input handles both Bluetooth and 3.5mm at the same time, it’s not limited to one or the other, just keep in mind that they share a volume knob so if you need to blend those particular sources you’ll need to do the fine-tuning on the devices themselves, with the knob on the back of the Bose S1 Pro+ serving as a common master for them. This combined channel is especially useful for background music, karaoke, etc. Being able to run on battery is a nice feature which makes it stand out from other portable sound/PA systems I’ve personally used before which continued to need outlet power. This can be great for performance scenarios at more remote spots that lack easily accessible power, in our case it was perfect for an outdoor get-together with family and friends for music, games, and making announcements that could be easily heard by everyone. When not mobile, the S1 Pro+ system makes for a tidy, room filling, home studio monitor for a keyboard, mic, and computer audio/video workstation setup that I’m happy enough with that it’s become more-or-less my new permanent studio speaker.

Good device but a little expensive …………………………………..

The Bose S1 Pro+ (plus) is a lighter weight, battery powered portable public address and sound system, and updates from their previous model (minus the plus) that is getting a little long in the tooth. This sound system is VERY app heavy, as almost all of the adjustments can be or must be made on the app connected to and controlling the system, rather than with physical controls. With lots of options for connectivity to microphones and other devices, the S1 Pro+ is checking lots of boxes there. Line ins, wireless, bluetooth, XLR and USB C are all accounted for. I love the size and weight of this setup for someone looking to travel with their system, carry it with them on public transit, or have it take up less space. Physical controls where it counts, such as volume on individual sources, and bluetooth pairing, and the rest combined into the app. Bose does a VERY good job with their app development, and I have zero reservations with their handling of this. Personally I may have some anxiety about not being able to adjust the settings if my phone goes dead or becomes disconnected, and that's usually when I appreciate physical controls the most. I've not had a chance to push the battery life to the limit yet, and usually will default to plugging in if I can help it. The sound is typical of what you'd expect from Bose, so I'm not even sure I need to get into that part of it. Their speakers are fantastic, what more can you say? Overall this is very well made, and an excel level up from the previous model of S1 Pro, with new features that justify some of the cost, and delivering solid sound and connectivity that you know and expect from Bose!

We've had a lot of fun with this PA system. We've been trying to connect this to a bunch of different things to see what we like best. We have a little karaoke system and some various other equipment we've tested this out with and it has been working flawlessly. My kids especially love being able to connect to the bluetooth and have dance parties wherever we go. We've had this outside while the weather has been nice and I love that you can lay it certain ways to control where the sound is centered. The bass is nice and the sound has been crisp. It's pretty straight forward for setup and the different dials make it easy to control your sound or various systems you connect to it. This has quite the sound range and can definitely put out some decently loud music if needed. I appreciate that the sound doesn't seem to distort even if you do crank it up. The carry handle seems really solid and makes it fairly easy to carry. It is a tad big heavy but I don't mind that as the entire system feels very solid and like it will stand up to use and a bit of abuse as we do use it around children and outdoors. We will be taking this camping as well this summer for a portable sound system to watch movies on. The battery may not last quite as long if you really have it cranked but so far I've been impressed and don't feel like I'm charging it all the time. I do appreciate that you can use it plugged in as well. This is a great addition for people who want something you can take with you and use with a variety of electronics. This is exactly what I would expect quality wise from Bose.

I bought it and had to return it a week later. The power button got stuck and didn't work anymore.

Made this purchase to get a portable speaker system for music. Overlooked the fact it says its a "PA system". Great for throwing sound, but very tinny and rattly sound.

To begin with I want to mention that I’m not a musician but LOVE music and it resonates with me. What is so great about the Bose SI+ wireless? Well so much but before I talk about that I will speak of the uses for me. It’s mostly used for our Church Choir. The church has some very antiquated speakers and this thing has brought the sound to life! It’s so easy to move from one room to the other and barely ever needs to be charged. Comes with the PA system compact and well made and a cord I find the Bose music app to be very user friendly on my iPhone. I do like the usb C in the back that helps when we do live streaming as well. One small tidbit that might help you is disable the auto shut off as it turns it off after 4 hours. To do that press and hold the channel control for channel 3 <—- that’s for Bluetooth devices until the additional control menu appears then you will see auto off. The sound is incredible! Rich and amazing which has to be expected with Bose. I’ve mentioned battery or charging being also great I know we use it for 5 hours straight sometimes and it isn’t even at 50%. Overall it’s just so perfect and has been a huge blesssing and easy to use for me and us at Church. P.S. coolest feature is you have three buttons in the back and make adjustments to bass tremble and volume without worrying about the app (some of the members of our group over use this feature lol). I very much recommend this awesome product!

I am very impressed with the S1 Pro+ Wireless PA System. The design is excellent the unit weighs about 14 pounds (6.5 kg) and has a great built in handle. The battery and charging transformer are built in and the speaker can be positioned on it bottom on an elevated surface, tilted back (for smaller audience) or as a monitor. There is an option to use with a speaker stand or add speakers or a sub. I found the sound excellent with guitar, voice and Bluetooth in all three positions. The input functions and EQ are excellent with small OLED screens which guide you though adjustments and menus. I found the bass a little exaggerated on Bluetooth streaming and guitar input and this was easily adjusted with the highly visible lighted screens. These screens will also show tone match (microphone versus instrument (these are customizable in the App)) or if input is wireless. The input and feedback system is quick and excellent especially when compared to my 8 year old Yamaha which used many knobs for less options. I amusing mostly for guitar and sometimes as a monitor or speaker. The flexibility of this speaker is amazing you can attached multiple instrument for a small performance or use microphone PA and music easily without plugging in. There are options to charge your phone, connect to a PC for live stream or even charge your wireless transmitter.

THIS SPEAKER WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED IT TO BE, FOR WHAT I PAD FOR IT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN SOMETHING CHEAPER & WOULD HAVE BEEN OK.

The problem with speaker its not easy to turn it ON, but the sound is good

There is no one at the delivery address. I called and asked to cancel the purchase so I could reorder with a new address, Best Buy said that they could not cancel the order. So, I asked Best Buy to change the address. They said that they would and did. BUT IT IS STILL GOING TO THE SAME ADDRESS AND NO ONE IS THERE!!!!! I wish I could give them negative stars!

The Bose S1 Pro+ Wireless PA System is pretty cool. It does a lot more than just public address... it also can be used as a stage monitor, an instrument amp cabinet, wireless blue tooth speaker, and even as a USB audio interface to feed to a computer for recording and mixing etc.. Overall the Bose S1 Pro+ Wireless PA System sounds amazing on spoken word. Just hook up your favorite dynamic microphone through the balanced microphone input and set your desired volume level. A fully charged battery is said to last about 11 hours with a charge time of around 4 hours. I've got no reason to doubt them because I've been using my over a week now without needing to recharge it. There is an app that can be used to control some of the more advanced features, and this speaker definitely has some advanced options. For professional audio engineers there are settings for everything, including linking multiple speakers together, using with an external subwoofer, reverb adjustments, the audio interface can also be used as a mixer to blend the microphone with other inputs etc. The PA even has built in smart equalization that changes if it senses it's mounted on a pole, leaned back, or in monitor mode. This speaker sounds heads and shoulders above any horn driven PA system I've ever heard, juast link as many of these together as needed and you're bound to have a great sounding event. This would be great for a portable monitor or amplified cabinet for a street musician as well. It even makes a pretty good blue tooth speaker too, but when playing music with a lot of bass it does get distorted really badly at higher volume levels. It sounds great at lower volume though. I'd like to have a second one of these for stereo sound, and a subwoofer to handle the low bass, and I bet that would be the killer party/karaoke set up!

Didn't work and apparently no one at Bose support speaks English

I've received an open box item, that's missing the battery, an essential part of the equipment, and as a foreigner customer, now i have a huge problem, because Best buy don't assisted me to properly solve this problem. Be careful when buying an open box on best buy!

Jbl more cheaper and sound quality better from this boss , i did mistake to but it

I personally believe Bose is leading the industry when it comes to consumer audio. The S1 Pro+ PA system proves this point even more so. Most PA systems I have used in the past are big and bulky and although they are loud the sound quality has not been the best. The Bose PA system is one of the best on the market. The size of this PA system is something unlike anything else. It is rather small and easily portable. This means it can be used just about anywhere and it can be easily placed incognito if you are using it for events. One other note on the design is the buttons and settings for the aux inputs. It allows you to connect microphones or instruments via a chord or wirelessly (adapter sold separately). You can tweak the settings on each input separately which is nice however they have little LED screens and one button with a knob used to adjust settings. In my opinion this can be difficult when trying to adjust settings on the fly but it is not a deal breaker. I would have preferred physical knobs for each setting although I am sure this would take up more space. The wireless adapters for both mics and instruments are sold separately but they can be stored in the speaker itself when not in use which is convenient. They also have rechargeable batteries that regenerate while they are stored inside of the speaker slots. Obviously since it is a speaker you might wonder how it sounds. This is much louder than your average Bluetooth speaker. It can easily be used for large audience in to 100+ range. It gets very loud and the sound does not distort even at its highest volumes. This system does have Bluetooth so you can play music from a mobile device. The only downside is that it is required to be plugged in for it to operate. Bose has an app that allows you to adjust settings from your phone. The microphone, instrument and Bluetooth inputs can be played over one another. This is great if you want to use it for karaoke for example. If you are looking for a PA system for events and want something that is compact, easy to set up, and has great sound quality then look no further. This would be a great speaker to take camping because it can easily be plugged in and play great music for the entire family to enjoy.

Doesn't even properly connect to Android devices and I think this should be stated on the product.

Awesome sound, portability, design and love the new OLED display with app control!
