Nice addition to other SoundTouch systems at home.

This is my second SoundTouch Wireless Adapter. I have been very happy with my first one, hooked up to Bose SA-4 amplifier and 301 speakers. That is why I have recently purchased the second adapter for our Lifestyle 135 Series II.
The system setup was not as straight forward as one would desire. Updating the console with the Bose provided USB stick was a challenge (the stick had to be plugged in multiple times in order for it to work)! Then, the adapter was plugged-in and updated, a lengthy process combined. To my surprise, the USB "setup" cable had to remain plugged in for the system to work (besides the Bose Link cable)! On other systems we have such as the WAVE Radio and the SA-4, the Bose Link connection is the only one needed. I have contacted Bose Support about this "oddity" (and sloppiness). They confirmed that the USB "setup" cable has to remain connected to our LifeStyle 135 II console!
Over all, the product works as advertised (despite Bose cable "sloppiness" that may not be a big deal to most people). If you have many SoundTouch devices as we do in the house, this adapter makes a nice addition!!!

This adapter is a neat little gadget that is a must have if you have a Bose home theater system and a smart phone.
Once set up, this little system lets you link your wireless computer, smart phone or tablet to your Bose home theater system so that you can listen to your music through your home system without plugging into an auxiliary cord. You do have to download the app to do this, but it is simple and painless.
Just don't attempt to have 2 devices going to the system at once or it'll freeze up and you'll have to shut it down and restart it.
Great addition to any Bose system!!

I haven't used this function very much, and only got it so that it would be on par with competitive, yet much cheaper products. The world is going wireless and Bose seems to be a bit behind. The sound is awesome though.

I love the Soundtouch, very convenient. The only thing I don't like it's that it disconnects often and is s process to reconnect. The update process is very long and frequent.

This is a necessity if you want to stream music from your smartphone or tablet to any Bose home theater systems that did not already come with it. However I had to buy and return 2 of them before finding one that worked. Good luck.

I would not buy this separately. I took it because it was a part of the Sound System bundle, but it is not that straightforward to play music from your tablet or phone via wi-fi.

Not that impressed, if you have to pay for it, rather get the Bluetooth attachment, since you can play directly from your Bluetooth devices like your phone which you cannot do with this device.

Hello Rookichuckster. Thank you for the review. The SoundTouch Wireless Adapter is designed to connect to your Lifestyle or CineMate system. It allows you to access online streaming sources such as Pandora, internet radio stations, and music from your computer wirelessly over your home's WiFi network. All of it would be controlled from the free SoundTouch app on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Using this product I cannot play the music stored in the mobile which is not acceptable. It can only play music using some specified app in Sound Touch App. Soon going to buy Bose Bluetooth Adapter.
