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.

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

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.

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

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 best sounding speaker we've tested, but asks a high price

Excellent Sound, Great volume, relatively compact, many connection options

Expensive, multi-speaker management leaves a bit to be desired, Expensive, multi-speaker management leaves a bit to be desired

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...
