I'm really happy with this small, but powerful speaker also has big display, my recommendations

Looked at reviews which said this speaker was difficult to set up. I purchased from John Lewis as I went to listen to the speaker which I felt was the best on offer. To my surprise it was quite easy to set up just download the Bose music app and follow the step by step instructions which also guide...

Sound quality amazing as it always is with Bose

The main problem is that the speaker has a very nice colour screen but it is impossible to get the album artwork on the display, so you never get to see the screen in action; Mine only shows volume or which device is connected, in black and white.

The Bose Home Speaker 500 is a powerful chunky black anodised aluminium addition to the list of Alexa powered smart speakers at a premium price of $599 RRP. I listened to it for a week before it had to be returned to Bose but that was enough time to get a good impression of it's capabilities.

Best house warming present from my in laws. It is sure a great little system and the sound it pumps out is amazing

The idea seemed silly at first. Bose made an Alexa-powered wireless speaker with a little screen, a big $400 price tag and a promise "to fill any room with an astonishing stereo performance.

Great sound quality

Too expensive; limited

Amazon has always maintained that it wants other companies to use its Alexa voice assistant in their devices. That's probably why it's left the speakers somewhat weak in terms of audio quality.

This thing sounds great and is solidly built, but it's user interface is terrible. I got it for our kitchen to connect with the TV. I have it connected to the AUX port and if I shut down the TV, after about 15 minutes, it shuts itself off too.

Was given as a gift to my boyf who is a bit of an ‘audiophile'! :p He says the sound quality is great so he's happy - and it looks great in our front room, not too big and very stylish so I'm happy too!

Bought this for the speaker function and as you would suspect from Bose it is top notch. Having Alexa included has opened up more options and functions. It is great and highly recommended
