    I listen to a lot of Electronic Dance Music and i was not impressed with the quality of the sound. Some songs sounded terrible. I did not adjust any settings on the Bose app i.e. bass or eq. Would not recommend.

    Got a free one from Subaru liked it so much I bought one for a gift and another for myself as you can daisy chain for stereo. Great small size that you can take them with you.

    I have tried several small speakers for golf and this is by far the best sounding. The other thing I love is the band that attaches to the golf cart. You will love the sound out of this speaker

    When Size Matters

    My number one criteria was it be small enough to carry in my pocket to play music from my iPhone when I visited my mother in a nursing home. This is the best sound quality in a very small package.

    My husband loves this speaker. He uses it in the house, on the golf cart, in the backyard, and hooks it to his belt when he goes for walks. The sound is excellent.

    If you want something small and delivers quality sound but sound not as full and rich as the larger more expensive options - everything's a trade-off.

    Love the one I got as a gift so much, I bought one for someone else. Bose equipment may be a little more expensive but is often worth the additional cost.

    This is a tiny speaker, but has pretty decent sound. Had some issues with it not turning on even after being on charger, bose support is not great. Researched the web and it turns out unit went to battery protection mode. One day after chargin again it turned on, and has been working great since. Perfect for use around house, road trips, or playalongs.

    I am not thrilled with this speaker. It has heavy bass, so much that at times I can’t understand the words. I can’t adjust the unit so no options. It is loud and does the job otherwise. Just need to invest in a model I can adjust.

    I bought this for specific applications, needing blue tooth for music in an area where there is no Wi-fi. Now I use it constantly..... it's too easy and too nice not to.

      Hello Alex and thank you for your review.

      Leaving the unit on when not in use will drain the battery. However, if the system does not detect a signal (Bluetooth® or AUX) for 30 minutes*, it will shut off. To minimize the battery from draining, we recommend turning the system off manually.

      *This is adjustable within the app

      If you run into any issues, please reach out to support and we’ll be happy to help!
