This is one loud and great sounding speaker. We at first bought the mini soundlink speaker and it sounded good but just wasn't loud enough. So we went back and were checking out the sound touch and we knew that's what we wanted it is one jammin speaker is loud and sounds great. Would recommend it to anyone. It is a bit pricey but worth it.

This is an excellent product. I absolutely love it! The sound quality is second to none. The Bluetooth capability allows me to play music from any of my portable devices. I'm thinking about getting another unit and linking them together in order to play music in multiple locations. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a wireless solution for their music projection and enjoyment.

I spent several weeks looking at blue tooth speakers. There was no comparison on the sound quality from the big Bose 30 but I had read several negative reviews about connectivity that made me cautious.
Initially I was going to buy the Bose 10 speaker but once I listened to all 3 models there was only one choice for me. Yes it costs more but it fills the space I needed it for. It is not portable. Connectivity is great. It unlocks all the different storage areas and the iTunes access requires an iPad or iPhone via the rat tail connector or Bluetooth but with the app to control the speaker on a phone and or an iPad who cares. It works and sounds great. Sure there is competition from Sonos but if you listen to both of them the Bose wins. You can also access music from satellite radio amazon prime etc and a PC on the same network. Awesome. Love it.

Very nice speaker. I was very surprised by the sound that this speaker puts out. Because I don’t like the sound coming out of my bedroom TV I connected it directly to the TV using an AUX cable and really love the sound coming out of it. Highly recommend this item.

The days of wires across the floor have gone. Once the Bose Sound Touch 30 was setup, it immediately filled 3 rooms with cathedral ceilings with a clear crisp sound. My sister went and purchased the same unit. It does have the ability of being matched with a wireless subwoofer. We are extremely satisfied .

Granted this is a home speaker that can be on the expensive side for some people, it definitely has the versatility and the sound that makes the price worth every penny. I chose to go with the 30 instead of the 20 because it has a dedicated subwoofer that changes the sound output drastically. The Bluetooth feature is awesome, making it really easy to connect to pretty much any device. My primary use for this system is for streaming music from Spotify. The Spotify Connect feature works like it should. Setup was a breeze. I miss the AirPlay feature which made it easy to play music from any of my apple devices. All in all its the best speaker I've owned thus far. Bose customer service is the best and I feel you can't put a price on excellent customer service.

I was thinking about purchasing a Bose system for a long time. The price, was always stopped me from the jump. I currently had a huge, stereo system with base subwoofer, 2 speakers and the cd stereo part. It was so big, sounded amazing, but took up so much room. It was time to upgrade, and I must of looked over every system out there. I kept coming back to this system. Read the reviews, and I went to the store and made the jump. I dont play CDs, tapes, or listen to the radio. I use my bluetooth and phone as the music source. So I wanted a small, but amazing sounding top of the line system, and I brought this Bose soundtouch home. Wow. Is all I can say, the base is amazing, and volume is wonderful. At 15 on the volume, it filled my room with a huge stereo sound and was so clear and I did crank it up to see what it can do. I was like oh yeah, and it rumbled the walls, and I played all kinds of music. Its amazing how this small system sounds like my huge system I gave up. It also can be hooked up to a tv, computer, it has additional hook ups to but I don't use them. I just connect to my bluetooth phone, and crank it up and that's about it. It's very simple to use. It has a remote, and the unit had a classy, modern, clean and well built feel to it. I was not disappointed at all. It hit all my Mark's on what I wanted in a small system. Glad I made the jump, you gotta give it a try. You wont be disappointed at all. Wish I did it sooner.

The Bose name is synonymous with great sound. The Soundtouch 30 series III certainly lives up to that and more. I listened to the 10, 20 & 30 in a Bose store. The 30 had the best sound for me.
I use this unit throughout the day in my home office. I have a SIRIUSXM receiver plugged into the AUX input and my favorite channels sound great. The Soundtouch connects to your home WIFI network for controlling it and also to provide outside connectivity.
My biggest surprise was all the extra music features that come built in to the unit:
INTERNET RADIO STATIONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD.
ADDING A MUSIC LIBRARY (ITUNES, ETC)
ADDING A MUSIC SERVICE (deezer, iHeartRadio, Pandora, Spotify, and just added SIRIUSXM). If you subscribe to SIRIUSXM's online play feature, the recent update will let you enjoy your favorite channels complete with song/artist displaying on the unit.
BLUETOOTH (play music from your phone, tablet or computer).
A lot of the selections can be saved on one of the six presets located on top of the unit and also included with the APP.
Whatever you do, download the APP for your computer, phone or tablet. I can control my Soundtouch from anywhere in my home.
If you decide to purchase another Series III device(s), you can link them all together so that the same programming is broadcast throughout your home, or you can have each unit as a standalone device.
I realize the price is higher than units with fewer options, but the sound quality is really great. You really need to check one of these out at your closet store.
Enjoy!

There are several options for a Wifi sound system out there (Sonos, Monster, etc.) and many in the same price range sound quite excellent. My wife and I had a hard time deciding what to get and figured since they all sounded great we'd basically let price be the determining factor. That was before we noticed that the Bose was the only system that had buttons you can program for your favorite channels (Pandora, Spotify, internet radio, Iheart Radio, etc) so all you have to do is enter the room, turn it on, and press a button - bam there's your favorite music. Don't have to touch your phone or interact with the App at all. Really a nice option. We actually ended up paying about $100 more for the Bose system for that option.

This speaker is simply amazing, easy to setup, functions well, picks up wifi well, sounds crystal clear and has amazing bass! The remote works well with it too. It can use Bluetooth (pairs well with my nvidia shield, iPhone 6s, and laptop) downside to Bluetooth is it only connects to one at a time so you have to just search it again if you want to change around the devices. My primary uses for this speaker is internet or Apple Music radio, and in my personal home theater with my shield. The sound fills the whole room (and the house for that matter). If you're wondering if it will be loud enough it will. I can clearly hear music in my bathroom (about 40 feet or so away) through the door of the room it's in with both doors shut. Great addition and if you get other SoundTouch products you can pair them together wirelessly and listen to music or movies in your whole home!

I wanted a speaker that would sound good and easy to use. It meets all my expectations and more. Setup was simple and it sounds good too. You can control it from P/C or smart phone through your home network or set the preset on the unit to listen to what you want with the press of 1 button.

This radio has great sound. Small enough to move around to different rooms if needed but loud enough to hear outdoors or at a loud party. Clear and crisp. Have not used the App yet that allows you to tune to radio stations or download your own playlists. Just enjoying it as a great Bluetooth speaker to use with our phone.

This purchase was to basically give me a decent speaker system for my computer. My office is centrally located downstairs in our home and with the Bose SoundTouch on my desk, I can easily hear whatever I'm listening to throughout the entire downstairs. I have Bose radios upstairs and love them, but I think the sound quality from the SoundTouch is even better with no distortion whatsoever at high volume. Operation was very simple from the get-go and pairing with my computer was a snap - simply plug in the USB cable (included), download the software and remove the USB cable. I was able to start listening to internet radio music via wifi immediately and with just the smallest effort was listening to the music in my iTunes folder. I will need to make playlists and that will take a bit more effort - but I had wonderful sounding music within 5 minutes of opening the box - and that's pretty sweet. Still learning though - I want to get Pandora set-up and that's proving to be a tad more difficult. Overall - I'm very happy.

i love everything about this system but the key selling point to me on this purchase was not just how loud it can get. but how clear it is at such low and high volumes! and no distortion with the bass but that was one of biggest differences on terms of sound compared to the sound dock portable is that their wasn't a dedicated sub inside the unit like this one and that really makes the biggest difference to me on how full!! it sounds but i also love the fact that i can be sitting down and choose what song i want to play next wirelessly on my phone!!! if your thinking about the sound touch 30 you will not be disappointed at all!!!! this is really amazing buy it now lol!:))))))

As with most Bose products, it's very durable & modern! Best of all the sound is absolutely AMAZING! Volume level is much louder than I expected & fills the entire room with quality sound. The bass response is pretty good as well. The fact that you can link several together is an added bonus!

Bose delivers again. I have Bose noise cancelling headsets and a sound dock that the old iPhone would dock to and charge from. Both excellent sound quality. This speaker quickly and easily connected to the phone through bluetooth and sounds awesome. The base simply has to be heard. The bluetooth was so easy to link that my daughter had a sleep over and all her friends were able to link to it individually to play their own music. I liked it so much, I bought the smaller version of this speaker for my office. One note, this speaker is not with the other bluetooth speakers in Best buy stores, I think it was over my the tvs and stereo systems.
