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

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

Build quality - goodDesign - GoodBattery backup - AverageEase of installation - PoorSound quality - On Wifi - Average, on bluetooth - PoorTotal waste of money for such a cost. The product is not user friendly and has too many dependencies. Sound through bluetooth is worse than ₹5000 mobile phone speakers.Better cheaper versions with more functionalities, compatabilities available.Interaction with Alexa app is again not friendly. Despite having a 500mbps connection Alexa keeps going out of sync. Speaker doesn't remain connected even while in the house.Theres no single app to control the speaker.Pathetic and user troubling product from Bose.

I own 4 Bose systems prior to buying portable home speaker.Honestly before buying this I was not very sure about how it will sound due to its small size .My previous Bose spekars like, wave system, sound touch 30 are bigger in size as compared to this speaker.When I turned it on for first time I was totally shocked to see how this small speaker can sound like big music system with high quality sound .It's a magical speaker and totally worth it .The bass it can produce will surprise you.Just keep it in corner of room for more deep bass.The battery backup is good , It lasts for around 10 hours continuous use.It sounds great for movie audio when paired with TV over bluetooth.When I played movie over it infront of friends they thought that it's playing on home theatre untill I told them that it's not. It sounds great in movie but it can not produce home theatre like surrounded sound. It can act as your emergency home theatre.It sounded great in open space picnic area.Note that in open space bass will be lesser as compared to room. But still it sounds magically great than any other bluetooth speaker available in market.Hack: in room if you want further more bass then keep it on empty wooden box and enjoy booming deep bass.

Setting up it as alexa is tedious process. Even if you are successful it does not function properly. Return or Replacement is once again very tedious or better to say not supported. I have had alexa already setup on another device. I connected this speaker as blue tooth speaker with alexa and it is working perfectly like it should. Sound quality is awesome as a bose speaker should be.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

Got a sweet deal(24k) on the great Indian festival.Pros-1. Bass. It's all about bass.2. Bluetooth connectivity and Alexa functionality.3. Portability.Cons-1. Battery backup is very low. Changing cradle is a must.2. Initial setup on an android device is a pain. Use iOS for setup.3. Need to keep connecting to new wifis...no automatic connection to new wifi networks.4. Sometimes there's disturbance while playing songs on wifi. Hopefully future updates will solve this problem.5. When Alexa is activated, Bluetooth will be automatically disconnected. This is an avoidable hassle.Although cons outweigh pros.... nothing sounds like BOSE. Worth every penny. Rest you decide.

Pros1. Great sound quality;2. Strudy strap;3. Bose Music app and Alexa sensitivity are perfect.4. Airplay compatible for Apple users.Cons1. 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.
