This was a mothers day gift. She loves the sound that memics a full and expensive home theater, and the ease of use. I set it up so she can play music and books from audiobooks, Pandora, Deezer, Spotify, Apple and Amazon prime

It is a very good Speaker but it is not easy to complete all the functions of it specially Alexa, because we are not able to put French Canadian language!

Bought this lovely speaker a few weeks ago and very glad that I did. Compact size and fantastic sound that you come to expect from Bose. I also used Myer's Click & Collect service which was extremely easy and convenient to use. Thanks again Myer :)

Unbelievable that this is not backwards compatible with the sound touch series! If you sit like me with such and want to expand the system, you are smoked! If at least one had been able to add old speakers just to be able to play songs.

The Bose Home Speaker 500 is one of the best sounding smart speakers in the market at the moment....

I am a long time Bose consumer (at least for my lifetime)...the Bose sound/speakers is always impressive, but moving into the digital realm, from experience, they can't seem to get the software portion hammered out.

The Bose Home Speaker 500 is one of the best sounding smart speakers in the market at the moment, and there are not a lot of choices in this segment for now. But this if you want to stream high-quality music just the way you like to hear it. The Indian Express is now on Telegram.

Too expensive; limited

“Rich, expansive sound helps this smart speaker deliver a virtuoso performance.”

Expansive stereo sound; Sleek; attractive design; Choice of Alexa or Google Assistant; Easy-to-use controls; Bluetooth; Wi-Fi; and line-in options; AirPlay 2

Does this smart speaker debut justify the wallet-melting price tag? Bose Home Speaker 500 rivals Bose Home Speaker 500 rivals
