Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall, the Bose Smart Speaker 500 is an excellent choice for those who want a smart speaker with great sound quality and a sleek design. With its smart capabilities, customizable features, and powerful sound, it is a top contender in the smart speaker market.

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

nice clean sharp looking unit with amazing sound sleek design compatible with most smart phones

This is one powerful speaker. Great sound quality. Built in Alexa. Nice screen for album art. We have it in our kitchen and it makes for a great speaker for kitchen dining room and living room.

Spectacular sound and easy to use. The display is clean and the mobile app is easy to use.

I love streaming music to a Bluetooth speaker. The unlimited selection of available music is intoxicating. Add that music convenience factor to the unique features that Alexa offers and you have a winning package. Even better is the fact that this speaker delivers the superior sound quality that we have all come to expect from Bose. It’s one of the best Bluetooth speakers I have ever heard. It beats HomePod by a mile. I should know, I have both.

I like the feature and especially the sound. It is a good size and easy to operate

The sound is awesome and it is very easy to use. It. Also it looks very good

This is my second purchase of this speaker. I bought the second to use on the opposite side of our open floor plan downstairs. It has great sound & is super easy to set up with the app. They also work with Air Play & Alexa. As a matter of fact, it replaced our old Echo speaker.

Love the alexa, so simple to set up! Speaker is clear and strong.

I purchased this while it was on sale. 50 dollars off. But other than that it's a great little speaker. Easy to use and the app is simple to use once set it up. It is a little confusing to set up. I had trouble setting up my spotify premium account but got it to sync up. Sound is pretty good. I expected this to have a little bit more bass but it's still good enough. So far so good. Good purchase, while it's on sale.

Very clear, and extremely loud. Site perfectly in my office and gets lots of compliments on the sound quality and the sleek look.

What can I say? It's a bose and the sound is amazing for such a little speaker! The Alexa option is nice and links up to all my other Alexa devices! You won't be disappointed! Don't expect $1000 speaker quality either! You get what you pay for! With bose you know you're getting quality sound without any distortion! Would buy again!

Love this new speaker! It’s easy to use and set up. The sound quality is very good as well! Would highly recommend to any audiophile!

Phenomenal sound, Oled screen is what makes this standout.

Purchased for my mom to replace her old Bose Wave system. The sound is great, not quite as filling as the wave and she really misses the CD feature (a feature of the past, it seems). Nice and easy to control with the app. Clean and doesn't take up a ton of space.

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 thing sounds really good . I was surprised by the bass mid and hi slight blended but still was a great buy. I got it for $156 on sale instore. I wouldnt pay $399 for this because its over priced.

it sounds great,it is a sound that fills the whole room. I can turn my lights down and look at the screen and see whose music is playing.It took about thirty minutes to set it up but it could have come with better instructions,I had to go to youtube to finish the setup.All in a nutshell I like the speaker and enjoy it very much.

I have had my Bose Home Speaker 500 for almost 6 months-and I have loved every minute of it! I think the Bose music app could use some adjustments, but the speaker itself has been pretty phenomenal. It is easy to use and has great sound (we rarely listen to the speaker above 25% volume and that is when we are jammin')!
