    Sound quality is excellent. Only small issue is Alexa integration as it doesn’t recognize instructions sometimes on the first try.

    Best speaker in the game! Astounding sound quality with a cool futuristic screen to display the time and album cover for general aesthetic :) I would recommend this product 100%

    As always, Bose comes through with great sound. Make sure you “break” it in before you go cranking it up, just like any other speaker. My only issue with this device is the app lacks luster. You’d think Bose could get some IT geek to create an app that has a better EQ than just bass and treble. It sucks. I’m having to adjust on my phone EQ to get the balance I prefer for my own ear holes. Lol. That being said, excellent sound! Easy to operate. I’d definitely recommend this product, with note of lame app.

    This was a great sounding little speaker... but we ended up going with a full nose home entertainment as it’s Alexa compatible. I have a Bluetooth JBL speaker (the big one) and I find you just can’t beat the sound on it.

    Item seems a bit expensive at first until you get it setup and start using it. The sound is very nice, even at a very high volume.

    There’s not much to dislike with this product. You’re getting what you pay for and it’s a typical high quality Bose speaker but with smart features including app support and Alexa functionality. Fantastic product.

    Sound is awesome and typically of a Bose product- no issue there. This however disconnects from the phone app after a while so you can’t change the settings from the phone. I needed to replug it every now to get the phone’s app connection reestablished.

    Pretty good speaker, I don't like having to choose alexa or Google assistant. I didn't like having to use the bose app for a lot of the functionality. It plays music loud and crisp and does what is asked of it.

    Bose makes great products, it never disappoints. The sound on this speaker is loud so it is great for home use. Get a smaller speaker if you want something portable for work.
