    We have a medium sized kitchen in a northwoods cabin. This speaker replaced an old component stereo. It has freed up some cabinet space and gives us many more listening options in that space. We only have two or three broadcast stations available there. With internet, there are endless options. This speaker has great sound and easily fills the room at half volume. Love it!

    The speaker is a bit pricier than the competitor but if you are willing to pay for the quality it is worth the money. The sound travels well throughout the home as quality isn't compromised.

    This is thus far the best Bose speaker I have purchased. I really like the rich sound of it. For a small speaker, it does a fantastic job. I would highly recommend this great product.

    Bose never let's me down. Heavy aluminum body with a rubber bottom you can use anywhere. Puts out musical clarity you would expect from Bose. Easy plug and play set.

    I purchased the Bose 500 as an upgrade to the Soundlink III. There really is no comparison between the two. The 500 produces a deeper, richer sound. However, at full volume, it does get somewhat distorted. The programmable top buttons are wonderful for Pandora or Sirius XM channels. One important note... it is NOT portable. It needs to be plugged in at all times. The Google Assistant works off the wifi and does not need a direct internet connection. We have enjoyed the Bose 500 for almost a month, using it nearly every day. Great product! I highly recommend it for music lovers.

    Smaller than I expected. Sounds excellent. Plenty of volume. Alexa works seamlessly. It’s pretty expensive, but I’m picky about audio.
