Bose sets the bar in studio sound again with their S1+ Pro speaker line designed specifically for musicians, DJs, karaoke and music lovers and offers upgrades that are leaps and bounds above the prior model. I have been using the previous S1 Pro portable speaker for several years now for a variety of uses including plugging my electric guitar in, microphone and simply streaming music from my phone to it during parties. In the box you can expect the S1+ Pro speaker and power cable making set up fairly simple. Once you plug in the speaker, download the app, log in or create your Bose account and sync the speaker to your account you’ll be rocking out in no time. You can scan the QR code to view the instruction manual which explains all the features which, for my typical use, are overkill. However, I’m sure they come in handy for much more experienced singers, artists and musicians. The Bose Music app is simple to use and pretty self-explanatory as well. You can sync most popular music streaming services through the app to cast directly to the speaker if you are planning on using it for a Bluetooth speaker. Like its predecessor, one of the best parts of this speaker is that you can simultaneously plug in two sources, like a guitar, keyboard and/or microphone and stream from another source to this one speaker at the same time. The rear of the speaker has a wide variety of features including two channel inputs, a mono line input, and auxiliary stereo line input, convenient USB-A and USB-C ports, a line out for use with a XLR cable to connect to another system and wireless transmitter charging ports for those talented musicians and karaoke aficionados. Perhaps my favorite upgrade to the S1+ Pro is that it’s truly portable with a built-in battery that can last hours before it needs to be plugged in. Think about tossing it into your vehicle before a camping trip and not having to worry about being confined near a pesky outlet. Or in a setting where an outlet is too far away and you don’t want to run an extension cord. This was available on the previous model however it was a separate accessory with an additional cost. Another welcome upgrade on the S1+ Pro are the digital displays for each of the inputs. These can display the volume level, EQ adjustments as well as being able to go in and toggle other settings without having to rely solely on your smart phone/tablet app. With this new model, Bose is currently using their Bose Music app, not Bose Connect, to manage the new S1+ Pro features which unfortunately means I am not able to sync the S1+ Pro to my S1 Pro for dual casting party mode that is now offered. Audio enthusiasts, like me, are amazed by how loud and crisp the sound the S1 produces considering its size and portability. It is exactly what you would expect from Bose; crystal clear highs, deep lows and lots of power in a well-made product that will hold up for years and compete against other high-end sound companies. I think you would literally have to have the S1+ Pro in a large indoor/outdoor setting with lots of people to even consider turning this beast of a speaker all the way up; I have barely turned it up halfway and it’s overwhelmingly loud even in large outdoor spaces like I have my currently positioned. Overall, Bose did an amazing job cramming in all the upgrades in comparison to its predecessor including the built in battery while also not increasing the cost to the buyers which is always welcome in an economy plagued by inflation and rising costs on everything else. I would recommend this speaker to not only singers and musicians but also just to consider for anyone looking for a Bluetooth speaker that will just about blow your eardrums out.

Very loud! I love it! I use this as a standalone speaker for vocal when karaoking. I run the vocals to this speaker and then I run YouTube karaoke songs through my receiver and surround speakers. There's no lag that I can tell and if there is, you absolutely can not tell. I really like that the volume and echo can all be done separately. I have a mixer that did that before also but I was having issues with the speakers producing static when the vocals were too high or when people were screaming into the mic. What I iike most about this setup is that I can have wireless mics, control directly on the product, and the sound is really clear and crisp. This saved me from having to mic separate wireless adapters for the mics (which I have bought but they lagged big time and you couldn't be too far away), and I didn't have to buy brand new speakers to support the loud mics when people sing loud or scream. Even though this product is spendy, for my setup, it was well worth it.

I recently purchased the Bose S1 Pro+ Portable Wireless PA System, and it’s easily one of the best audio investments I’ve made. The sound quality is phenomenal—crisp highs, deep lows, and impressive volume for such a compact unit. Whether you're using it for events, small performances, or just outdoor gatherings, it delivers professional-grade audio with ease. What really sets it apart is its wireless capability and built-in battery, making it perfect for on-the-go use. The battery life holds up incredibly well, and the setup is simple and intuitive. I was able to pair it with my devices quickly, and switching between inputs is smooth and hassle-free. The build quality is also what you’d expect from Bose—solid, sleek, and durable. It feels premium and is lightweight enough to carry around without strain. If you're looking for a portable, reliable, and powerful PA system, this is it. Highly recommend it for musicians, presenters, or anyone who appreciates great sound on the move.

The Bose S1 Pro Plus Wireless PA system is a work of art. Historically, using a PA system meant you were tied to a power outlet and limits your options to amplify your acoustic guitar playing. Then if you were able find the outlet, a lot of portable PA systems just don’t sound as good. With this Bose S1 Pro Plus, you get clear and accurate reproduction of the sound coming from your guitar. This system really brings the pickups on your acoustic guitar to life with no muffle or distortion. The sound quality is just something to be amazed by. In addition, battery life is great. There is no problem with lasting an entire show with this PA speaker. In addition, the S1 Pro Plus has built in EQ that allows you to adjust treble and bass. The fact that Bose added the ability to add reverb to your sound is just the icing on top. It really is an all in one package for the acoustic guitar player. The fact that there are two inputs allows you to connect a mic and guitar to this portable PA system, making it the prefect artist speaker. Oh and don’t forget there is a third line-in or Bluetooth input for you to play backing tracks while you sing and play. The S1 Pro Plus works wonderfully with a Shure SM57 Dynamic microphone. You won’t be able to use a condenser mic because there is no phantom power built in, but I don’t think you would want to use a condenser mic in a public setting anyways. All in all, where ever you will bring your acoustic guitar, more than likely this Bose S1 Pro Plus will be traveling with me too.

The Bose is a good product. Needed something quick, light, battery powered, with good options for connection, EQ, and such. I use it for a vocal monitor, keyboard monitor, Bass guitar monitor. In a smaller venue, it can hold it's own. fits on a speaker stand just fine. A bit pricy, but less than a QSC. Works great for solo/duo gigs, enough volume for my use. I use it for rehearsals as well. Perfect with the power cord as well. Bought a cover for it, but the Bose covers are too much $$. I use a gator speaker case, that works just fine for it.

Now this is an awesome speaker with great clarity and a ton of power needed to rock your entire backyard if needed. Long battery life and high decibel rating that doesn’t disappoint. I checked with my apple watch and it was accurate to specifications. Between 105-110 decibels max.

Bose S1 Pro+ Speaker is the 2023 successor to Bose S1 Pro. The price of the new Pro+ model is $100 more than the older model. I did not deliberate between the 2 models. Although both models have vibrant, crystal-clear audio, I purchased the Pro+ model because it can be controlled manually or digitally. Through a Bose Music App on my cell phone, I easily control audio parameters & blue-tooth connection. I presently use the Auxiliary input for streaming music on Spotify and plan to use it playing audio backing tracks for learning how to play violin. I like that the speaker has a powerful sound, long rechargeable battery life, and light enough for me to easily carry anywhere. The Pro+ model meets all my expectations.

This is one of the best purchases I've ever made. The system itself is a powerfull speaker that will bring quality and precision to any music sets. I was able to connect my pioneer DJ system directly and didnt even have to put on the full volume. The systems base and sound came out clear. The bluetooth connection to my phone was fast and easy however, I would always recommend a hard wire connection. The life on the speaker is well over 11 hours and is extremely lightweight. The new additions made to the speaker inlcudes a wireless adapter for a mic, although it's a bit pricey, I recommend the add ons if doing karaoke. Very well, defintion between tones and base. If your on edge, make the Jump!

Clear and powerful sound. Can be synched with other speakers as well! The Bose S1 Pro is a versatile, portable PA system with excellent sound quality. Its compact size, robust build, and various mounting options make it suitable for a range of environments. With Bluetooth connectivity, multiple inputs, and a rechargeable battery, it's great for musicians, DJs, presenters, and more. The sound is crisp and clear, though some users might find the bass lacking compared to larger systems. Overall, it's a reliable choice for those needing a portable yet powerful sound solution.

Definitely one of the best speakers I have purchased. Easy to connect and great for everyday use! Sound quality is superb and battery power is excellent

I loved this speaker, sound is really clear and you can not imagined how loud it will because its tiny size. I like the fact that I can plug microphone so we can use it as a karaoke speaker. For my experience Bose never disappoint you.

As of writing this review, the app support wasn't fully functional. As that is an important aspect for usage, I will look to report back when that can be tested. Previous to using this model, I was using a S1Pro, and this is indeed a nice upgrade. While the sound is similar(good thing) the overall usage has been upgraded and streamlined and sound is still amazing and room filling. The first notable is the buttons and everything they are assigned to. While I like manual controls, they can be cumbersome when there are several sound elements to adjust. The digital select and tweak minimizes multiple knobs and relies on selectable modes. I can quickly scroll through the settings, get what I need and adjust with one knob. For my uses, it really does work well for quick adjusting. Secondly, the battery is included(!) and great thus far. Many hours in without the need to top off. Finally, I really dig having the cut-outs for the optional audio receivers. They fit snugly into the receiver charging and ready to go when needed. Everything needed in one unit. For the cost of the original S1Pro and optional battery, you can snag the Pro+ with included battery and overhauled functionality. Definitely the better choice. My only concern is once the app functionality kicks in, the S1Pro and the S1Pro+ won't be able to wirelessly chain. That is a letdown, but I cannot confirm as of yet. But, you can daisy chain via unbalanced connection, so if needed, that will be the way to get the party moving.

Bought this for primarily outdoor use for special events. Worked very well for outdoor audience of about 500. Easy to use and transport. Bought two cordless mics with wireless battery packs. Each worked for about 3-3.5 hours. That was enough for us.

I’m posted overseas in the Dominican Republic, so I needed a portable speaker to take with me to the beach - a common thing to do here in the D.R. When I say I couldn’t be happier with my purchase, I mean I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. This baby is loud and clean with plenty of thump! Our area is always the life of the party. If you’re thinking about buying one of these, stop thinking and go out and purchase one today. You won’t regret it!

I have always been a fan of Bose, and this product is another reason why. When I first used this, I felt every bit of every song I listened to (bass, miss, treble, melodic tunes, etc). Also the external device inputs (for microphone or instrument) work just great! The audio that comes out the speaker is crisp. The design, display, and features are also sleek and user friendly. Would definitely recommend!

So far so good! It's very easy to comnect through phone (bluetooth), very loud (I can definitelyhear it in between rooms/walls even at low setting), easy to charge, and long-lasting. It also has a handle on top so you have an easy grip- given that it's quite a bit of weight. Overall, amazing purchase.

This speaker is exactly what we were looking for. Great sound and volume levels to practice as a drummer, BOSE never disappoints.

I initially thought this was too pricey, but after testing it I’ve concluded it is an excellent powered speaker. I like that it can be used without a soundboard, which makes it perfect for taking it to outdoors gigs, where the battery comes in handy and it has all the connections you need, including Bluetooth and aux.

Worth every penny. I already have Bose S1 Pro, but still my new purchase S1 pro plus stands out a lot in terms of quality improvement, bass depth, and advanced features like USB-C interface to use pro plus as an audio interface as well. Control knobs are now made digital which reduced clutter of previous knobs. Overall I feel my involvement on this product is 2x worth
