    Excellent speaker and amazing quality sound. It is pricey and the only down fault is that is not wireless and must be kept con ncted to power

    when you use this in conjunction with Alexa, it kinda freaks out when you ask her to play a song. The workaround is you start the music from the app after you're connected. It's a little erksome, but it is still a good product. Set up is a little hit and miss too.

    Sound quality is very good. The only thing I dint like is the time out. I wish it would stay on when not in use. I wanted to use it as my alarm clock. The work around im using is to keep my sleep app on until my Google clock takes over.

    Love this speaker, when you place it in the corner of a room it really does fill the whole room, it is very nice having two of the 500’s and two of the 300’s linked together throughout the whole house

    Figured I would upgrade to this since I got a discount on it by bundling the Soundbar 700 which I had to get as a replacement. Sound is pretty good. Size is much smaller than the previous models. I do wish it came with a remote.

    Of course, it's Bose and you pay for that reputation. It sounds excellent. Built in Alexa and Google is great however, it can't play music using Sirius XM unless I connect my phone or laptop to the speaker first. Other than that, I love this speaker.

    Great speaker and sound quality. I give it 4 stars because the system keeps logging out of Alexa or google and have to constantly log-in. Otherwise everything is seemless and the Bose app is okay, not great.

    After purchasing the Home Speaker 500 from Bose, I'm hooked on this product. The sound is incredible. I plan on getting two more home speakers for my house, so I can listen to my music in multiple rooms.

    This is a great product. The connectivity is very convenient and the sound is amazing. Great purchase. I am using it in a 2200 SF open space and it fills the whole space, even with some partial walls. One thing I haven't figured out is if it is portable. The description refers to a battery life but I don't think it has a battery, When I unplug it, it turns off. It doesn't matter to me because for my application is it always plugged in.
