Bose Portable Smart Wireless Bluetooth Speaker with Alexa Voice Control Built-in, Wi-Fi Connectivity, 360° Sound, Powerful Bass (Black)

Amazing sound, Loved it

On high volume( above half volume) bluetooth started disconnecting. I thought it was a normal glitch.Later on, battery got discharged very promptly. I thought I may have consumed. Then it is completely dead from last 1.5 years. Outside areas, bluetooth gets disconnected on every dong twice or thrice. Not a good speaker at all. I think they have been selling units manufactured years back and getting faulty due to its shelf life. I also called for extended warranty and i mailed them goo however they dont provide extended warranty too. They dont believe in their product too. Very poor BOSE. Highly Not recommended. Never ever expected from Bose.

I can only nit pick about the price. This speaker has exceptional sound quality! Especially if you come from entry level JBL or Sony Bluetooth speakers. I cannot believe the sound that's coming out of this little speaker, its honestly mind boggling.

First of all,to understand my rating read till last Awesomeness- 1.sound with bass 2.Mobile application to Control and setup 3.Portability 4. Sound clarity 5. Connectivity (to primary device) 6. Voice is clear even at max volume Downside-1. Too too expensive. Jbl and many other speakers are available for almost 1/3-1/2 the price of this,with nearly similar sound effect (they can't match bose). Even though I got it in deal at an unbelievable prices (20k),but even then it's costly 2. uneasy connecting other devices. If you want to connect next device with Bluetooth,either disconnect the first one,or use primary device "bose music"app to do that. Since it is Bluetooth 5.0,simultaneously connecting multiple devices should be an ease. ( More over,Sony has a method of connecting,wherein when you attempt to connect new device,the previous one automatically disconnects) 3. Major flaw -alexa. It becomes unresponsive after Turning off the device for overnight or more. When called customer care regarding this,they said -ITS FLAW WITH SOFTWARE🙄 4. The bass. Actually this is first bose device. I paid a hefty amount for it,as I had a Divine sound kind of picture in my mind. But the bass was great,but just fell short of expectations. Bass is crunchy and feels some lacking power. I already have a F&D tower speakers (powered) almost 1/3rd price of this,but everytime it begins with bose and ends with F&D 😅 5. There is some vibrating sound in most of songs at high volume. I can't make out the issue. But doesn't feel good in such a product But ultimately its awesome except price tag

Pros 1. Great sound quality; 2. Strudy strap; 3. Bose Music app and Alexa sensitivity are perfect. 4. Airplay compatible for Apple users. Cons 1. Mysteriously stops working or does not connect to the wifi sometimes. 2. The battery percentage read out on pressing the power button has stopped working. 3. Works great on Bluetooth or Airplay connections. But the buttons work erratically. At this price point I would expect nothing less than perfection in all aspects. So overall disappointed with the purchase, but will live with it.

I was eyeing this bose Bluetooth speaker since a long time but couldn’t purchase it as it was priced at 40K. But recently in the month of June 2024, prices dropped to 29K with Amazon pay offer of around 4K off which brought the prices down significantly and immediately decided to buy it. The sound quality is amazing with true bass and crystal clear pitch. The build quality is great and it requires bose app to setup for either android or Apple phones. Apple has additional airplay option which is a boon as well. I was unaware of the Alexa feature which is better suited with either Spotify or Amazon music. It reacted sluggishly to voice commands and felt little rough. The battery backup is roughly around 9hrs for full charge. Charging takes around 2hrs from 50pc to 100pc. Alexa the next day became unresponsive and never responded to my queries. It always gives orange light when invoked. Third day, the speaker was completely unresponsive so thought of returning it but as there is no replacement available, tried manual troubleshooting. You have to long press play/pause button to reset it and it came back to life. Alexa too was responsive again. But it Alexa does again every time and it has to be reset again. This is a major flaw so please don’t buy it for its smart speaker feature. The sound quality is great though and it does the job of connectivity as well. I would recommend going for another speaker and not to risk your money with this one.

Great sound quality. Read review of other about connectivity issue etc. I also face the same in starting but it resolved later. Now it working fine without any issue.

Worst product! Do not buy at all! It disconnects after sometime and for repair it almost costs 22K. In distances it disconnects after sometime. It disconnects at high volumes. The seller is selling faulty products. I simultaneously bought another speaker frm offline store and it works really well. Do not fall trap for this reduced price. Faulty products are sold and service is extremely stupidly expensive as equal to a new product. I have been using multiple bose electronics from almost 10-15 years and this is the worst purchase I have done. Strongly and strictly recommend DO NOT BUY
