    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.

    I wanted a speaker device that plays music and has Alexa as an option. I did some research online and saw that Bose carried products with this function. I chose this product since it was a Bose. The sound is excellent for my bedroom. I really like to design. When playing a song ,a photo of the album pops up. Quality is excellent. Again, another great product by Bose!

    I enjoy the quality sound. It is enough to fill one entire room. The download of the Bose application was a little confusing but I was able to work though it.

    Great sound! Set-up was ok. I like that it is now with Google assistant. I am disappointed that Google assistant can not go directly to my SiriusXM stations! It works with preset channels. Go figure?!

    A bit expensive but it has all the options I was looking for. I heart radio, pandora, Amazon music, Deezer, AirPlay, smart speaker. Great sound. Would do a second if it wasn’t so pricy, I guess Bose always is.

    Sounds Amazing. Very Clear Sound with a good base. It is NOT wireless, though. It must be plugged in for use.
