    Very good sound. Great in a small room or area. Not my favorite Bose device, but does the trick for it’s purpose. A bit pricey for it’s overall performance.

    I've always loved Bose and added to my collection with this purchase. I loved it the minute I turned it on. The high quality Bose sound never disappoints! It seamlessly connected with wifi and other devices. The fact that this is small enough to be mobile player is also a plus. Simply fabulous!

    I like the sound quality and that it has alexa. The only reason I had to return was co it cannot be paired with soundtouch.
