    Irritating

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is the first time I write a review for any product that I buy. This is also my second Bose speaker and I don’t like it. When I play my music at first it plays nicely but after a couple of songs the music starts to get cut off and it is really irritating. We have used the speaker with different phones and the same thing happens I just want to enjoy my music without getting it cut off. This speaker sucks.

    Mid Range Bose = Don't Bother

    The speaker sounds fine, like any Bose product...when it deigns to play at all! It is neither user friendly nor smart. The bluetooth connects and disconnects as if it were possessed. Sometimes it just turns off entirely in the middle of an album! They've outkicked their coverage with this one. Either go cheaper or go more expensive--this is a dead zone.

      Hi Johnny,

      I'm sorry to hear you had difficulties using the speaker. That certainly shouldn't be happening. Bluetooth connection should be fine if you keep your source device within 33ft/10m. To remedy connection problems, I suggest unpairing your device and pair it again. This generally helps most of the time. If you need any assistance with the speaker, remember you get lifetime technical support; our team are always happy to assist. Find support here: https://www.bose.com/en_us/contact_us.html.

      Kind regards,

      Jeff - Bose Customer Support bose
