    Sounds pretty good for the small size, however the prize doesn’t match the quality. I’m glad i bought it on sale. So far it only works if I am able to pair it with my phone, would be nice to use it as a regular radio or with its own connection to Pandora or Spotify. Also would be good if it could be paired with the smart TV to use it as a TV speaker. Would be good also if it was portable and wouldn’t need to be connected to a power source. All in all I’m happy with the purchase.

    Bose has always been the best in my eyes but maybe I’m biased. The Bose Smart speaker 500 is incredible in about every way. I’m a fan of music at any time of the day. From Beethoven and Chopin to Eagle and Drowning Pool. Such a crisp sound at low levels and astonishing clarity at high output.

    This is our second Bose 500. We wanted to have music in different rooms and be able to play the same or different, music. Set up either goes really well, or you have to work on it a little. Once configured it stays connected and can be controlled by our Samsung devices. The sound is incredible (as Bose always is). Highly recommend this... Others that have Sonus tell me the Bose has much better sound and is easier to use.

    I payed for this speaker with some of my own cash gift cards I saved up. And I had my eye on it for a while and it is worth the wait. They say good things come in small packages and fits saying like a glove.

    I love the speaker, but Alexa does not really work as described. The app is a bit cumbersome and the sound is awesome. The speaker works well with my iPhone. If it did not, I would have had to return. Overall, I am very happy with the sound. Just wish it worked as described with the Alexa app. I spent lots of time with Bose customer service and even though I thought we had it working, it was not.
