    We have several Alexa devices and Bose speakers. The sound produced by this speaker is phenomenal for it’s size and having Alexa makes it even better. Easy to set up and add to my Amazon account.

    If you stream music, this iS the Bose speaker to have. Thousands of songs, built in Alexa, and, with a subscription, will stream Sirius XM radio. Great to have in your kitchen or office.

    Takes longer to open stream but sound is much better than Amazon Alexa. Bose application is clunky and even though I was able to get device into Amazon Alexa app. The Bose app. Still cannot find it.

    This speaker is great at this price. It is intuitive and easy to use. The app is easy to navigate and provides a better user experience. The setup was easy so there is no need for user manual.

    Love it, great sound and I enjoy the small screen that shows album covers etc. The downsides are, Alexa responds a bit slower, and tough to find controls in the dark!

    I have this in my home office and it fills the room with a very full sound. I love that it has both Apple Airplay and Amazon Alexa. Very easy to switch between the 2.

    Got it as open box, it work fine and sound is great too. But trying to connect the app and delete the previous owner’s info took a while. But overall good buy.

    It's a very good sounding device. Knocked a star off because it DOESN'T HAVE CHROMECAST built in. I would return it but i do enjoy the sound and playing music through the app.

    Amazing sound and quality. Alexa can be a little whacky but overall I am pleasantly pleased with this, but It’s Bose, so should not be too surprising.

    Kept it very simple, this was to replace an Echo dot in my office. Connected with wifi quickly and easily. Great sound. What more can you ask for.
