Sound is awesome

Not only can i make commands to alexa in terms of changing my song or raising the volume, but i can also set an alarm with out having to use my phone or press any button. Plus, its compatible with the bose 700 soundbar.

Superlative Sound!
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound from this speaker is truly amazing. Well engineered. Well made. You don't even notice it in the room when the speaker is not in use. The Bose app is a bit clunky. The voice control is a nice feature.

Quality Sound
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well and sounds great. Used it mostly this past summer with projector for outdoor movie viewing. Wish it held a charge that you could use without plugging it in…missed that wasn’t an option when purchasing.

BOSE portable speakers get better & better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We already owned two BOSE portable speakers with great sound and the BOSE 500 out performs them both. I’m really pleased with the Built In Alexa feature that enhances the music playing playing capabilities of this great device.

Sounds bigger than it is, but a bit pricy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Debated between a 4 and 5 star rating. For the size package the sound rates a 5, and it integrated well with my other Alexa enabled devices, but I think there is a premium price charged for the Bose name which made me consider a 4 star rating.

Love it.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality. Best in its class in my opinion. Easy setup. If app gets stuck after firmware upgrades. Just force close app and reopen. Double tap play/pause button to skip tracks.

Worth Investment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this primarily in my home office while working or gaming. Sound: Awesome for a small speaker. Good low end. Minimal onboard equalizer controls. User Friendliness: Included instructions and material are not very detailed. I've had to go online to look for documentation on getting the most out of the speaker as well as understanding all the meanings for the different colored alerts on the main screen. If you've never used Alexa before it can be a bit of a learning curve. Quality/Construction: So far so good. No functional issues or anything. Make sure you have really good wifi. It seems to work better when I cast from my cellphone as the phone acts as a buffer between my wifi and the speaker whereas if I have a timeout on my wifi service it seems to disconnect easily.
