Music to my ears (literally)
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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).

Sounds great, looks good.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to complement my Bose soundbar and bass. Using the app to sync for music on both units vs. sound for tv only is still a tad clunky. And I'm unclear about who's in charge, me or Alexa, when using voice commands. But the sound is great, and it's an attractive, unobtrusive, component.

Awesome All-Around Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome speaker! I needed a Bluetooth speaker that was small enough to fit into my living room space. Naturally, I also wanted the best bang for my buck. I think the sound on this speaker is fantastic! Best of all, it easily connects to my vinyl record player and my iPad.

I don’t know how it can be improved!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little speaker has all the qualities of a surround system without the cords. I never knew that you could be able to pack such sound quality in so little device. The pairing with Alexa was simple. This purchase represents a home run, and the price was very affordable for what it offers.

Great Wireless Speaker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bose knocked it out of the park with this smart speaker. I use it in the kitchen for music while cooking. It pairs with my Bose soundbar in the adjacent family room and the two rooms are filled with beautiful sound. Set-up took all of five minutes. I listen to mainly classical music which this speaker delivers with clarity and richness. I can't speak for how it would sound with country, RB, rock, etc. A pricey item for sure, but for me it brings additional color and warmth while in the kitchen.

The speaker your home needs
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been my favorite Bose speaker and I have had the Bose sound bar, Bose sound link, and a pair of Bose q35. If you want a speaker for music in your home this device has amazing clarity and just enough bass to make you feel like you’re listening live. Highly recommend!

Bose does it again!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is awesome! Bose sound and such a smooth looking unit. My favorite is that it's hooked up to my other alexa enabled speakers so the sound in the house is amazing. At this price it's the best Bluetooth speaker by far.

Worth it …
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers sound surprisingly good for their size… atleast to our old ears. Leaving treble flat and boosting the bass 30% is the sweet spot for us … listening to jazz and acoustic pop.

Does so much more than play music.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have always wanted to own a Bose. This purchase was a split decision and we do not regret it at all. The sound quality is amazing. You can control the volume by saying Alexa turn up the volume or you can do it do it from the speaker. You can have it control your smart devices in your house. You can also program it to play your favorite stations. It also hooks up to your tv through blue tooth. The only problem I have with it, is that it seems to disconnect alot when I am trying to tell it to do something....that awful orange light will flash. Other than that we love this Bose and plan on buying more Bose products.
