Excellent Speaker For Size!
I currently own a variety of portable speakers, hard wired speakers and a home theater system. I have always been a fan of BOSE for the sounddock systems and the portable battery powered Revolve +. Bose is known for over emphasized & artificially created soundstage. However, this in my opinion is a positive when it comes to small portable speakers. When the first BOSE sounddock came out years ago I was amazed at how big and full it sounded for it’s size. I have had a few generations of that one and now they have the Bose Soundtouch 10,20,30 series. I own the series 20 and have it at my office. Great smaller hardwired speaker. However, I wanted a portable speaker to take to the beach, pool, my garage, our back porch, yard, etc. The answer was the BOSE Revolve Plus. First time I powered it on I was amazed at the sound and bass for the little size. The battery lasts a long time and being splash proof was nice when we would take to our friends pool. With our growing family I find the revolver plus disappearing more so I was looking to purchase another. I waited a few weeks knowing BOSE was coming out with the newer version that was only slightly bigger, more powerful, deeper bass, WiFi AND now with Alexa and other app capability. I received it about a week ago and it was very easy to hook up to internet, update and run the BOSE app. No issues like some others have had. I really enjoy being able to run it on WiFi at home, but still be able to use Bluetooth if out and about. I think the Sonos app is better, but the Bose app is still ok and seems to get better with updates. (Been using the BOSE app a few years now) After charging, I set it side by side with Revolver plus to see if it was different enough or if I would be sending back for another Revolver plus. I could easily flip back and forth in my Spotify app to move the sound instantly from one back to the other over and over. Tried different genres of music from Country, to Hip Hop to Jazz to Rock. Definitely a warmer and more filling sound with the new BOSE Portable Home Speaker. Louder as well if needed. I thought the Revolver had great sound, but now it sounds a little flatter next to this one. The extra radiator gives a little more bass too which is nice. The size between the two is almost the same with the new Bose being a hair taller and wider and a tad heavier. I have a pic of both above side by side. I skipped the Sonos Move, not because of sound, but its size, weight and portability. No way are you throwing that speaker in a suitcase or car to travel. Much heavier and much bigger in size. The size of this speaker and grab handle make it excellent for taking anywhere with you. Add the built-in Alexa and you get a great speaker. Yes, it is a tad pricey. If you are considering the Revolve plus, spend the extra $50 for this one. You won’t be sorry. Overall I am very satisfied with this speaker. Very clear highs, “ok” mid-range and decent bass for the size. I also like you can adjust the bass and treble on this one where the Revolve you cannot. I currently own a Sonos Play 5, which I love and use in my family room. I also own a Sonos Beam for a center in the family room. Both are great for that room and I really like the Sonos app. I also have a Martin Logan theater system in the basement. This Bose is honestly not that far behind the Play 5 which is mind boggling. Just shows you what a great job BOSE can do with such a tiny footprint. To sum up, if you want a portable speaker that you can actually take with you easily to the beach, pool, yard, gym or anywhere, I don’t think this speaker will disappoint for the size, sound, Alexa capability and battery life. Well done BOSE!

LIGHTWEIGHT & POWERFUL !
I like to sit on the patio with a beer and listen to music I like. And if I’m in the garage working on our road bikes I like to have some good music going. My wife decided to buy me a good quality portable speaker for Xmas. It had to have blue tooth, wi-fi and airplay 2 mainly because I want to keep my iPhone free to use. It would also be great if I could take it with us when we travel by car or air. My wife got on Amazon on Black Friday and ticked off the various brands and models that fulfilled most of these things but the only one that she found that seem to fit the big picture was the Sonos Move Wireless Speaker. My wife got a good Black Friday deal for $299 and it arrived within a day or 2. As soon as I picked up the box from our doorstep I knew there was a problem…..too heavy. I checked the specs on Amazon and this thing weighed over 6 lbs which is pretty chunky to cart around the house or lug as carry on baggage. I got on Amazon myself and found the Bose Portable Smart Speaker. It weighed a little over 2 lbs and ticked all the boxes. It didn’t come up on my wife’s Black Friday sale search because it wasn’t on sale. With the optional charging base it came to almost $400 but I still ordered it. It arrived the next morning and I charged it up to compare with the Sonos Move. Both speakers sounded great but the compact size and the light weight of the Bose Portable Smart Speaker won the day. If it played my iTunes it would be perfect but I use Pandora and of course Amazon Music. It was worth the extra bucks !

Honest review
Bose, the name says it all.The first set of portable speakers that I bought was Bose Revolve Plus and I felt already that the sound was superior quality compared to the other competitors but this portable home speaker is 10x better than its predecessor and itâs also smart which is a major deal breaker.Pros:- BOSE- Supreme sound quality(never heard with 100% volume because it never felt necessary which is a good thing)- Premium finish- The Buttons at the top feels really good to touch, made with superior quality rubber- Battery quality is good but since itâs a smart speaker, it is advised to let it be on charge always- can function as a Bluetooth speaker and as a smart speakerCons:- one major negative for me was that when you say hey google or Alexa, you donât get the prompt sound or does it have any sound in the end which is kind of a downer for me because I never know whether it heard me- Bose music app feels sluggish and requires lot of bug fixes(software wise)- Doesnât work with Bose connect- Not completely water resistant. Can resist water splashes but not advisable at all.Bottom line:Boseâs best portable home speaker till date and definitely worth the money since itâs not $50 less and possibly might go down even more.

This product has great promise. It doesnât integrate with Alexa, just connects to your phone. Doesnât hold a charge for long. Had to send mine in for repairs after one use, which took 4 months. Still only holds a charge for a few hours of use and about a day of standby (turned off not plugged in). Not particularly loud but sounds ok. Not worth a third of the cost.

à impressionante como o portable smart da Bose entrega uma sonoridade refinada em 360 graus. A bateria não é tão boa, mas a profundidade de campo sonoro, os detalhes ouvidos na reprodução, o acabamento do materialâ¦Eu também possuo um excelente Sonos Move, no entanto, o portable smart da Bose entrega mais. Se puder, compre sem dó, seus ouvidos vão ficar em festa de alegriað

Amazing sound , you can adjust bass treble through bose app.. don’t buy revolve models as clarity wise this is much much better than revolve .. its clarity bass treble vocals are just amazing.. I have companion 5 and this one comes close to it. Only draw back is battery life could have been better..but it’s OK good sound consumes power… you won’t like another bluetooth speaker if you heat this once.. I generally don’t write reviews but doing this because I’m music lover and want people to pick up best
