Bose Home Speaker 500 review: Rethinking-and reshaping-smart speakers

Bose jumps into the smart speaker fray with a high-quality compact offering that promises to get better over time.

Expansive; honest sound from an agreeably compact package; Onboard display and user-friendly physical controls; Recognizes voice commands even in...

Companion app can't also control Bose's own SoundTouch speakers; Touch controls on top of the speaker aren't backlit; Some minor bugs remain to be...

Bose Home Speaker 500

The Bose Home Speaker 500 sounds great for its size, and the bass rattling can be forgiven because it only happened on one track and wasn't actually distortion. Regardless of how rich and crisp the drivers can sound, however, the wide stereo experience that Bose claims is not something we...

Powerful audio performance with rich bass and clear highs; Streams via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi; Works with Alexa, and will eventually work with more voice assistants

Expensive; Display looks a little dated; DSP thins bass out at top volumes; Some deep bass causes enclosure to rattle

Sonos and Apple need to move over as Bose is entering the high-end smart speaker market. At $50 more than Apple's HomePod and $100 less than the Sonos Play:5 , the Home Speaker 500 from Bose might be hitting a sweet spot for high-end smart speakers.

Robust sound with strong bass; Sleek design gives it a premium feel; No distortion; even at high volumes; Alexa integration is good

Painfully pricey; Display doesn't do much; No way to share connected services across accounts

Bose Home Speaker 500 Review: Amazon Alexa Has Never Sounded Better, no Arguments

"Alexa, play some new Trance music," a simple call that I make to the Amazon Echo Plus speaker at home every evening. At some point, my wife would chime in with a request for Alexa to play her Zumba playlist, and eventually, the parents would demand some order be restored with some Hindi pop or...

Alexa is not working in the Philippines.

I didn't' see a clear disclaimer that Alexa will not gonna work in the Philippines. SO I can't use the voice control. Totally useless because I also have OTHER BOSE device. What attracted me to buy this product is the ALEXA FEATURE. CAN ANYONE IN BOSE OR AMAZON HELP ME THANKS.

Bose Not Compatible With Amazon Echo

Cant use this speaker in a multi group speaker. I have several echo dots attached to speakers via aux. They all recognize each other and play with no problem. I have two soundtouch series speakers with echo dots up upstairs and they dont recognize bose smart speaker.

Great sound/challenging Alexa setup

I purchased the Bose Home Speaker 500 to replace a very old Bose Sound Dock that I was using with an old iPod touch. I selected the Silver unit, and it is beautiful. A very pleasing esthetic design. The sound is wonderful and more importantly is in stereo.

Beautifully designed unit Superior sound quality Stereo playback LCD screen w/clock Aux input

Problematic Alexa setup Control buttons flush with surface/no tactile feel for buttons Setup exclusively via smartphone or tablet/no manual setup Pricey

Bose Home Speaker 500

Bose has a long history of producing high-quality wireless speakers - like, for example, the Bose SoundLink Revolve+ - and with the launch of its latest, the Bose Home Speaker 500, the company shows no signs of slowing down.

Fantastic audio quality; Sleek design; Alexa built-in; Sensitive microphones

Very expensive; WiFi setup doesn't always work

Bose Home Speaker 500 - first look Review

Trusted Reviews went ears-on with the Home Speaker 500, the new smart Alexa-enabled speaker from Bose, at a cosy press launch at the AV manufacturer's recently refurbished flagship store on London's Regent Street. In lieu of our full review, here's how we got on.

Alexa and Spotify support; AirPlay support in the pipeline; Multiple mics mean Alexa will hear you loud and clear; Colour screen displays Spotify album art

Won't work with SoundTouch products; Expensive compared to rival products
