    I wanted something that would work well in my small living room and this is perfect! It has great sound, despite the small size, and integrates well with Google home. I'm really happy with this speaker!!

    Bose makes some wonderful sounding speakers and headphones, and the Home 500 is no exception. Pros -The speaker sounds great. It can get very loud and fills a room. It has nice bass and doesn’t distort at high volume. -Build quality is nice. The body is aluminum and should last for a while. The whole speaker has a nice weight to it. -Alexa support built in. Can be set-up to control home devices. -WiFi support. No need to be connected to Bluetooth if you use a streaming service that can connect directly to the internet. Cons -It was a little difficult to set up, even getting an error right out of the box. -Not enough online streaming services included (no Apple or Google Music). -A few bugs navigating the app. Overall, the Bose 500 is a great speaker. Something that I am looking forward to is AirPlay 2 support so that I can have whole home sound with this Bose and my HomePod. If you are in the market for a speaker for a living space, then this would be a great purchase.

    I've had it for a couple years. It did what is was supposed to, but the sound quality wasn't the best. I have an echo studio that blows this out of the water. Plus, the echo was cheaper.
