Customer Ratings & Reviews

Returned it 2 days after purchase would not charge over 20percent not a very good product.

The most expensive and least functioning speaker ever. If I’m bluetoothed to my iPhone and listening to music it’s fine…until I get a phone call. After the call, the speaker won’t link to my phone unless I shut down both the phone and speaker and restart. Don’t buy this!!

The one i recieved is not charging.. going to exchange it

I was not satisfied with this speaker. It does not have best quality sound.

This is the second time I have brought a Bose product and have been disappointed. The first time was very expensive, the only thing that works on my system is the radio. For this product, I don't know if was working fine then I charged it and now nothing, smh.

Great sound quality in such a small speaker! BOSE does it again! Primary use as a portable outdoor speaker when hiking or camping.

When I first ordered the speaker, I didn't realize how tiny it was. So when I pulled it out of the box and realized , I wasn't expecting too much from the speaker but because Bose make great products, I thought it would sound good. I did not think it would sound like this! I have larger speakers that I've had for quite some time and they don't sound as blended as these! The speaker is so small and convenient and can go anywhere you go! If I decide to go to a picnic I no longer have to transport that huge speaker and place it outside in the area we are sitting. When is time to go, it's so much easier to grab the little handle and be on my way! My only negative is that for the app, hopefully they updated to add better EQ features than the ones that they have already. Bluetooth connectivity was extremely easy and fast that even though person who has the most problems with electronics Will easily be able to Connect this! I wish I could've gotten a black one, but the blue is a really nice color. If there are any Bose people who love their products, you would definitely love this speaker, and it is worth every penny!

I found the sound to not be clear enough and I’ve had to re-connect several times.

We used this once at a tailgate and tried to use it a second time last summer (2020) and it wouldn’t charge. After resetting and troubleshooting, it still won’t work. The warranty expired prior to a year and I expect a company to stand behind their product.

For a small speaker, it has a lot of power and great sound quality. It connects easily to multiple devices.

This speaker sound good for its size but I do think it’s over priced .But if u can afford it and u need a small compact speaker with nice sound go for it

Not easy to use. Unfortunately too late to return.

Sound is not as good as expected for Bose. Wouldn’t buy again.

In a word, the best way to sum up this device is WOW!! I was totally amazed at the incredibly rich and vibrant sound that this tiny little speaker produces. I have several Bluetooth speakers that I use around my home and this tiny little speaker from Bose totally blows them ALL out of the water! The sound that this device produces completely lives up to all the hype I've heard about how great the Bose wave sound system is. I tried a few different genres of music to get a feel for how well this speaker performs and can definitively say that I've never heard such rich tones fill my room like I experienced listening through this speaker. The speaker is so small, I was expected that it might be able to reach a slightly higher decibel than listening through the speaker on my ipad, but as I listened to some of my favorite classical works, it felt as though the orchestra was sitting in my living room playing for me. I can't overstate my satisfaction with this device - it has immediately become my device of choice. I expect to get many hours of enjoyment from use of this device for years to come.

This thing sounds amazing. It boggles my mind the quality of sound BOSE gets out of such a tiny device. One downside is that it automatically turns on anytime I turn on a device it is paired with. I haven't figured out how to turn that feature off. Another downside is it only gets about five hours on a charge. But I would certainly recommend this to anybody looking for a small bluetooth speaker.

I used this to connect to a Dell Inspiron 5675 gaming desktop that had been stubborn to connect with another bluetooth speaker that I had. This pairing succeeded on the first go. Sound is on par with what I was expecting. Power button and pairing button are at the top side above the Bose logo - microusb charging port is between them with appropriate indicator lights. Volume controls are on the face of the speaker just below the Bose logo. No instructions are on the box or inside the box so it is up to you to know how to connect this to the media source - something that I am seeing that is the norm for manufacturers (they all seem to assume we've connected such devices in the pass which I think is unacceptable). It works well enough and is as good as what is out there. I do like the size of the unit - it does not stand up though it does have a nice rubber strap on the back that would allow you to place over a bar or pole so that the speakers on both sides might get a proper exposure to empty space.

I had no idea that I even needed this item until i tried it. It was so easy and intuitive to set up and the sound quality is amazing! I’ve used this in so many places that I never thought that I would be able to bring music with me. For the money, this speaker is definitely worth it!

very powerful speaker, I love biking around with this. I was hesitant about the battery but its held up well.

I've been using this speaker for a couple weeks now. I've used it with an iphone 6 and iphone 8. Out of the box, syncing was extremely straightforward. I did have to charge the device out of the box. Preferably, I'd like for items to at least have a minimal charge so you can connect before charging, but it's not a major issue. Once the device is paired, it is near instantaneous to connect to your device when you turn it on. It reminds me of the connection integration between apple and beats, which is a major positive considering apple has no affiliation with bose unlike beats. A nice option feature (not sure if to credit apple or bose) is that you can view the actual charge percentage on your iphone battery section. I appreciate the integration in that you can only gauge your battery so much with a 5 light meter, as is shown on the device. Overall, the sound quality is great. The music does damper a bit with heavy bass, but I don't see this as a negative since it is protecting the speaker. While the sound does damper, it doe not reduce the sound quality delivered. I only have a couple minor cons. The first is that there is no aux input. I understand that aux is slowly being phased out, but I would like to see it continue as an option for bluetooth speakers. Not only do they typically stay in one spot, using aux for friends is much easier than using party mode. The only other issue is that I noticed the sound distorts a bit if you stand the speaker up on a table/counter with a back as opposed to laying it down. The sound quality diminishes quite a bit when doing this. It almost sounds a bit like the speaker is underwater. If you set the speaker down on a surface you won't experience this issue. Overall, this is a great speaker that I would recommend to anyone. I do think the price could be a bit better (the JBL clip 2 is only $60), but you know you are getting a quality product with Bose.

This little speaker is great. It's loud, crisp and full of bass. Get it!
