You can always count on Bose for great sound quality

They keep disconnecting. Can’t hear when riding motorcycle

Great sound from this little speaker. Clear vocals.

Gave this product to my husband for his birthday and he loves it. He takes it to work and into whatever room he is in at the house.

Should stand up, to aim speaker. All buttons. Should be on same side

This is one of the best portable speaker I have come across. Even though the battery life is a bit low the sound output will blow your mind away.

Unfortunately this is my 2nd purchase of the this same item...item works well till it’s time to charge! My first speaker lasted a few months before having the problem, 2nd one just two weeks! Needless to say I’m disappointed in in the BOSE quality

this is a Christmas gift. my grandson hasn't seen it yet.

Only Bose knows how to make sound orchestrate perfectly. Trust no other brand to enlighten your hearing pleasures.

I tell all my friends and family it’s Great!! I love it and my friend told me she is gonna go buy one now that she heard mine!!

I really enjoy this but if you wanted to connect it to the tv it’s a bit quite. Only nice for music.

I tried it out in the store and was impressed. I had every intention of using it in my car because my radio is broken. I’m not sure if I just got a bad one but it was at least 50% less loud than the one on display in the store. I ended up returning it. Sound quality was terrible, battery life was short, I’d like to keep looking to buy something a little bigger.

This this is build like a tank, My first impression is WOW...this thing is heavy and that's not an exaggeration, Its super heavy and not like any other speaker I have tried. Its relatively compact for a big speaker the length and height are just right in my opinion but it is thick or deep but my god this thing weighs a ton. Its feels solid and well made, all surfaces are a soft touch silicone shell that feels nice. Despite the weight it is comfortable to carry due to its excellent handle, its a soft silicone grip that conforms to your hand, has good grip and makes carrying it quite pleasant. Everything about the look and feel is top quality and the buttons have good tactile feel. Its totally waterproof so taking it outrdoors is not a problem and if it does gert wet or dirty the silicone shell is easy to clean up and it doesn't really show wear. The silicone also does a good job of keeping vibrations and buzzing at bay. Initial setup was easy to pair with my iphone, and the app is easy to use, but unfortunately the new app doesn't work with my older Bose soundtouch speaker. You can check the speaker battery level in the app but it doesn't show up in the iphone bluetooth battery meter which is a bit disappointing. It has s shortcut button to automatically connect to a streaming service but only one is available (I think spotify?), and I don't use that one, they need to add pandora please. My speaker came at 70% batter level and it took 3 hours to get a full charge which is super slow, but on the plus side it did come with a wall wart USB-C charger which is nice since now days manufactures usually don't include one. Now finally onto the sound, WOW...super big and full sound, best I have heard from a portable bluetooth speaker. Its clear and gets loud with a deep full bass that is quite surprising when you look at its size. I guess that extra heft really makes a difference. The sound on axis when you're directly in front of it is superb. But if you're off axis and onto the side it doesn't sound as crisp with something lacking. I haven't tested the 20 hours runtime, but it has lasted me all day (8 hours) at a moderate level, so running out of juice should not be a problem. The build quality and sound are top notch, the only negative thing I can say is the weight, it just weighs so much that carrying it around will be a chore for sure.

The volume is not as loud as I thought it would be

Gave this to my dad as a Christmas gift. You would think he'd died & gone to heaven. To say he was pleased is an understatement!

I didn't actually use this speaker. I exchanged it for Bose Soundlink speaker because of the size. This one was too small and I like the bigger Bose Soundlink. Bose makes quality products and I'm sure this one was great. If you want a smaller Bose speaker, this one will probably be excellent.

Purchased this for my wife to use as an external speaker. She loves its! Also give audible tones letting you know the battery level!

I bought this as for gift and that person is really happy with it as this is the best Bluetooth speaker even from good company-Bose

Awesome for my boat. Didn't know best buy sold speakers. Thanks best buy. I'll be back for more

Super small and durable, GREAT sound, ruggedly made. I honestly expected the sound to be sub-par because of the size of this speaker.... I was wrong. It only seems to charge up to 90%, not 100% for some reason (it tells you the charge level when you turn it on)... unless I'm not letting it charge all the way, but I had it plugged in for several hours, so I'm not sure... either way, 90% is just as close to 100% for me. Plus its waterproof, BONUS. I love having this speaker, super small and lightweight which makes it the most portable speaker I've used, GREAT sound, seriously, pretty comparable to my bigger Bose Soundlink III. I've been listening to it for 4+ days in a row (a few hours each night) on the same charge, no complaints, great for the price.
