Customer Ratings & Reviews

Does what we want with no issues. Easy to use, great sound.

Have really enjoyed the sound quality from this unit. We keep ours in our kitchen and it replaced an Echo Show 10. We have a a few Bose speakers throughout the house and like the others, it seamlessly syncs up through the app. I like the presets you can set as well which allow us to simply play from our Pandora and Spotify playlists/stations without having to open up our phones. As for sound quality, I won't pretend to be an expert and no all the technical elements involved but I do have very sensitive ears, and I can say that the sound quality is very pleasing (clear, crisp, and deep).

This Bose - Home Speaker 500 Wireless Smart Speaker is a great sounding speaker. The speaker is a great additions to my office. It fills my office with great sound. Whether it be Youtube Videos, Netflix Movies, Music from my computer, or Listening to the Pandora or Spotify. This Bose - Home Speaker 500 Wireless Smart Speaker is a full featured product. I connected this speaker via Bluetooth to my desktop. So there is no wires to plug in. Set up is a breeze. Less than 5 minutes I was and running. There is a Bose Music app that makes setup very simple. Whether you listen to music off a music service or link you laptop, tablet, or phone this Bose - Home Speaker 500 Wireless Smart Speaker is very versatile for your needs.

This Bose speaker is incredible. very easy to set up, spectacular sound for the size and the amazon alexa built in is pretty cool and convenient. set up iTunes in a minute. Fantastic buy!!

As with virtually all Bose products, this is a superb speaker. It has deep bass tones and sounds like a high-grade stereo system in a tiny package. Love the Alexa built in as this is what we run on but cannot comment on Google Assist. Have connected seamlessly to an LED smart TV as well to get much better sound. I know some challenge the superiority of Bose and have fans and detractors, but in some ways it is the same kinds of arguments people have when arguing Mercedes and BMW. There are just some great companies with great products and Bose is one. As with all Bose, expensive, but you really do get what you pay for in this world.

I am very very impressed with the sound quality and volume. The 500 plays loud without any distortion and you can adjust highs and lows with the Bose app. Imagine grouping 3 Echos in one spot that's how powerful the sound is. The microphone's will pick up your voice commands even at high volume. The only thing that is really missing is an off button on the unit itself. Instead you have to use the Bose app to put it in standby or tell Alexa "off" which will turn the music off but it takes another 15 minutes before the display shuts off. I highly recommend the Bose 500 speaker.

These speakers sound fantastic! Sure the price is steeper than I’d like but the sound quality makes up for that- plus you can link certain speakers!

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

Love this speaker, bought an apple homepod big but since i use spotify this not only has better connectivity (spotify connect) but muuuch better audio and screen!

I saw all the other reviews regarding how great the sound is coming from such a small package. It is still better than what I was expecting. Very impressed.

Just luv everything about this speaker! 1) xlnt sound, 2) design, 3) size.....is Perfect for my needs! Highly recommend!!

Connected this bluetooth speaker with the Wee bluetooth for the TV. Awsome sound. Surrounds the room with clear crisp sounds. Easy set up within minutes.

I can't believe the sound and music that comes out of this speaker. The Bose Videos review on You Tube helped with my decision and I'm very happy with my decision. The warm sound of jazz is phenomenal listening to Kenny G and Boney James is an experience worth the purchase. Easy set up the 15 minute update isn't that bad, I like the display of the song in the read out screen. The time display si great I don't have ask Alexa what time is it and the classy look is bar none. I trashed my 1st Generation Amazon Alexa and upgraded to this and even my wife approved.

The sound is perfect and it easy to set up and small enough to set up anywhere

Love this product! Simple to set up and operate. Beautifully designed and the sound is great.

I love it. I hook my Spotify up to it and jam all day with the quality Bose sound. I like that it shows you the album cover and the artist who sings the song. The sound quality is top notch

I have bose speakers since ill say 10 years ago. Thisnis by far thr very best. Sound quality and music services plus casting from your device. Overall amazing

This is a great speaker don’t get me wrong. It would get a five star review if it weren’t so dang expensive. It just seems to be a little overpriced for what you get. That being said, the sound quality is pretty good for a single speaker like this. I use it to play music and to supplement my televisions horrible sound. Does great on most mid range base, but heavy bass it’s not designed to handle (obviously it’s a single speaker). Overall it’s a great speaker it’s just a little on the expensive side

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.

This has excellent sound; my reservations are two: first, pairing it with an iPad isn’t intuitive; second, this is a fine example of diminishing marginal utility: the difference in its sound as compared to a JBL speaker is less than the difference in cost. That said, I’d buy it again.
