Customers are saying

Customers love the SoundTouch® 20 Series III Wireless Music System's amazing sound quality, ease of use, and strong bass. Many appreciate its compact size and the convenience of Bluetooth connectivity, although some find the price a bit high. A few users experienced connectivity issues, and others wished for a built-in battery. The app, while functional, could benefit from some improvements according to some users.

    Sounds great in an average sized room. Good to have Wi-Fi rather than just Bluetooth, for better sound reproduction. Only down side, it went on sale a few days after I purchased, and the person I called could not manage to reimburse me the price difference

    Sound quality was pretty nice but had to return because it did pair-up to the Soundbar 700. It's kind of crazy that Bose has three different lines that are incompatible with each other. Difficult to figure out.

      Thank you for taking the time to review our Soundtouch 20!
      We're glad to hear you enjoyed the sound quality, and would be happy to try and help clear up your question!
      The 3 main line of connecting products we have are Soundlink, Soundtouch, and the new Eco-2 products.
      Any product with Soundlink in the name uses the Bose connect app and focuses only on Bluetooth.
      And product with Soundtouch in the name uses the Soundtouch app, and uses a mixture of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Airplay depending on the model.
      The Eco-2 Products, which are the SB500, SB700 and Home Speaker 500 use the Bose Music App and use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
      We hope this helps! bose

    Good audio, but setup requires a PC

    Audio output is really good, but to setup the device to connect to wifi, requires a PC. Then the Bose sound app will work. Wifi setup cannot be done from the app itself. otherwise I would have given 5 stars

    I was going back and forth between Sonos and bose and ultimately sided with bose. I saw complaints about their phone app but I have found it to be user friendly.

    Glad the Best Buy associated talked me into upgrading my HMDI cable. The improvement was fed worth the money. If you are going to invest in a new TV, this cable is a must.

    Good. Not sure if it's better than Sonos.

    These Bose Soundtouch have really improved over the years with software updates. They now work with most of the popular streaming apps. I've added a second Soundtouch speaker since this purchase.

    The online discount made it cheaper than buying it directly from Apple and it does just as much as the 4th generation but a 1/3rd of the price.

    I’m so disappointed for this Bose series that I regret every single day that I bought it. I have several soundtouch serie III all Around the house 5 total, first one stop working after the first year, I had to pay in order to be fixed, after a few month stoped working again, this time was covered for the guaranty, few month later again no connection, this time was replace for a new one. I still have connection issues with all of them over and over, in order to make it work all together I have to reconnect them several times during the week going to the hole process of delete them and add it to the network over and over, it is almost imposible to make it work nicely in sync. ...... In a word it is a NIGHTMARE. ( I have excellent internet connection at home) so there’s not internet issues for sure I have been very loyal to Bose for several years I have 14 BOSE Audio divises but this SounTouch series III has me very, very frustrated. I would not recommend buying it.
