Very Nice!

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2018

I wanted a really nice speaker to use as the main sound system for my music as I do not use CDs and this speaker is everything I wanted. The speaker was easy to set up and connect with my phone (which was so appreciated). The sound quality is very nice and what you have come to expect from Bose. The speaker is attractive, easy to place around the house, and unobtrusive. I would highly recommend this speaker for people who just want something that sounds amazing, and is simple and easy to use.

The speakers sound great when they are working...

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2018

When this speaker is working, it's great! I have 5 of these speakers set up with one SoundTouch 20 speaker. However, they lose connection here and there, which leaves me needing to reconnect it as if it's a new setup. Very frustrating. With each use, there is an issue with at least one speaker and it's never the same speaker. I have very good wifi and I even have a booster upstairs, but these speakers just don't function as well as they should for the price. Also, the app stinks. If the main speaker loses connection, all the speaker stop playing. You can't just switch from one speaker to another. You have to stop the music, go into another speaker, then open the music library back up under that speaker to start playing music again. Big picture, not that great for the price. A good note, the speakers sound great when they are working.

Bose quality is unmatched

If you want to use a small speaker but get great sound, this is it. I wanted this as a non-portable speaker to sit on my mantle to let anyone who wanted to connect via Bluetooth and play their music. No issues connecting. I also downloaded their app to have functionality that way, which allows me to move my phone away. Great speaker.

Bose Quality

This is a great little speaker and fills our living room with sound. I'm pleased with the quality and overall ease of use. It is a little heavy on the bass but that is likely due to situating the speaker in a corner of our built-ins which accentuates the bass. I purchased the white model and it practically disappears on the white bookshelves.

An Enjoyable Listening Experience

This is my third SoundTouch 10 speaker. Love that they are portable and provide terrific sound. Good bass, clear midrange and treble leading to a well-balanced sound that lends itself to enjoyable listening. Connects easily to iPhone so my children can listen to their music - when my wife and I aren’t listening to ours. Software is a bit clunky but I buy Bose for sound quality (with hope they continue to improve the software).

Great sound....

It goes without saying that BOSE stuff has great sound... But, the connectivity of this item is sometimes a problem. We use our BOSE speakers with an IPOD that is bluetooth capable. We use that IPOD in the car, on the boat (with a bluetooth capable stereo system) and another brand of wireless speaker...and the IPOD connects almost immediately with everything. Except the BOSE speaker. (we have two of them in our house). You always have to press the connect button... then the speaker cycles seemingly forever... then eventually it connects to the IPOD (but not always). And... you cannot connect both speakers to the IPOD at one time... So, while we love the sound, sometimes we think the speaker is a pain.

Smooth like butter

I received this music system from my husband for Christmas. I absolutely love it. It was so easy to set up and start using. I now listen to internet radio (like WNYC and BBC) at home in the mornings and Pandora provides lovely music whenever I feel like listening to some tunes. It works flawlessly with my iPhone - running on Bluetooth and WiFi. And the sound...smooth like butter. And loud enough to fill our home (about 1800 square feet). Highly recommend!

Great quality.

This speaker is amazing. Not great sound if you turn it all the way up, it’s best to keep it at no more than 75%. But it’s plenty loud at that anyhow. I liked it so much, I bought a second for my camper.

About that Alexa 'compatability'

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2018

Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

* If you want to control the SoundTouch from an alexa device you can do that because there is an alexa skill. So you can change volume etc.
* If you want to use the SoundTouch as a speaker for your alexa device (the dot), you can do that to. You have plug a cable into aux between the devices.
* If you want to use the SoundTouch as a speaker AND retain the functionality of the SoundTouch. you CANNOT do this. If you have buttons programmed to particular services then you cannot use them. So then you might think? Ok I'll just install the SoundTouch skill and TELL it to 'play preset 1'. As soon as you do that it goes to 'wifi' setting and you lose 2-way interaction with the dot. So if you have alarms, timers, or want to ask it any question whatsoever, you're out of luck.

Moreover you create the password to the Bose account through the app without access through the browser at all. Some of use password managers or need to do the account management through the browser. But even if I didn't I CANNOT RESET THE PASSWORD THROUGH THE APP without completely logging out of the entire app! I swear this company is run by a bunch of muppets.

I mean I know I shouldn't expect much tech ability from an audio company but come on Bose hire *ONE* f@#$ing talented solutions expert to manage how these things are done right way. You are running a premier audio company not a lemonade stand.

So if you want 1) whole-home audio and 2) 2-way alexa at every speaker (and each speaker as a decent speaker) what are your options?

* Echo Dots at each SoundTouch -- doesnt work unless you want to hop back and forth between Aux and audio manually OR you are ok losing the buttons
* Dots with any other type of decent speaker connected by BLUETOOTH - with bluetooth this wont work. Amazon disables bluetooth with multi-point audio, you have to use aux cables at each point
* Dots with any other type of decent speaker connected by AUX using multi-room audio- this should
* Full Echo devices at each point using Amazons multi-room audio - this should work

BOTTOM LINE: you can use these speakers with multi-room audio and alexa but in almost any solution you will lose features/functionality of some sort.

Comparison between Soundtouch 10, Polk Hamden and Sonos Play 1 (pair)

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2016

Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

A comparison between Polk Hamden, Bose Soundtouch 10 and Sonos Play 1 (pair for stereo).

I went on a journey for my bedroom speakers and landed here. I started with the Bose Soundtouch 10 and while the presets are nothing short of genius, the sound was barely any better that the wireless Bose Soundlink Color that I already had. So I splurged and went for 2 Sonos Play1 speakers (for stereo). The sound is amazing. Way better than the Bose (even just 1 Play1 by itself) and only a bit better than the Hampdens. The software and the fact that you have to use Sonos' app is the craziest thing every. It is a terrible app and does not allow YouTube or many of the other things I would like to use speakers for. I had to send them back.

Then I got the Hamdens. I love the looks and the sound was almost as good as the Sonos 1 pair. It was also much more user friendly than the Sonos with the Bluetooth and was half the price. Love my choice.
