Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really regret getting this. The app is so difficult to use and every so often, it disconnects and I have to go through the whole process of setting it up again. I would chose the Sonos system instead.

I bought this along with a pair of Bose 251 outdoor speakers and they sound amazing. Love having the ability to control everything from my phone!

This is an exciting product from an AWESOME company. Bose really brought their "A" game with the sound touch line of devices. I added speakers to my patio cover and needed a solution. The house was not pre-wired for audio, so whole home automation and audio distribution was not in the cards, until I found this gem. Installation is a snap, run speaker cable, install speakers (add speaker selector if needed), plug in amp, install sound touch app...DONE. It was that easy. The SA-5 has built in steaming audio apps which saves your mobile device from having to provide the music and burn up data and battery life, however a Bluetooth connection is available if needed. I rarely use Bluetooth since the SA-5 is connected to my network and streams music directly from Pandora. The sound touch app connects you to all of the sound touch devices connected to your network. Need music in 3 rooms of your home and a patio cover? Bose sound touch devices can be used to create the whole home audio distribution you desire. Install the SA-5 for those speakers outside, then install any of the sound touch systems in the remaining rooms; sound touch 130 sound bar for the TV, sound touch 10 (20 or 30) in the bedroom and den. Connect them all to your home network, and BOOM, whole home audio distribution installed. You can play different music on all sound touch devices in each room, or you can play the same music on all of them! And it's all controlled through the app on your mobile device. It's really exciting and forward thinking from Bose. Great job to the people at Bose, thank you for making such a seamless integration of audio content and distribution for consumers without pre-wired systems. Kudos!

If you want Ariplay don't buy. No matter how many tries it just doesn't work. The product barely plays music streaming without interruption It's VERY fussy. I managed to get wi-fi streaming working for a time, but wired ethernet refused to work. Despite numerous reboots, and attempts to reconfigure. Given the price point, very very disappointed.

Don't buy. Nothing but problems. Slightly out of warranty it broke, they charged me for the repairs, then refused to repair. Bose used to be a great product, not anymore.
