Bose Portable Smart Speaker
More music — wherever you are.
Living room dance off? Backyard camping? Patio party? Whatever (and wherever) you have planned, the Bose Portable Smart Speaker delivers the sound you want and portability you need to keep the party going — or take the party with you.
How do I control the Bose Portable Smart Speaker?
Within Wi-Fi range, you can control the speaker with your voice (without using your mobile device) or with the Bose Music app. Outside Wi-Fi range, you can control the speaker with your mobile device via Bluetooth.
What music services can I use with the Bose Portable Smart Speaker?
You can play popular music services like Amazon Music, Spotify, and Pandora anywhere you’ve got Wi-Fi. Everywhere else, you can use Bluetooth to listen to anything your mobile phone or tablet can play. Apple users can also use AirPlay 2.
How does the Bose Portable Smart Speaker compare to the Bose Home Speaker 300 and Bose Home Speaker 500?
The Portable Home Speaker is wireless and water-resistant, while the Home Speaker 300 and 500 aren’t. The Portable Home Speaker and the Home Speaker 300 have comparable acoustic performance, while the Home Speaker 500 has even better sound.
How does the Bose Portable Smart Speaker compare to the Bose SoundLink Revolve+?
Both are Bluetooth speakers, but only the Portable Smart Speaker works via Wi-Fi, too. Only the Portable Home Speaker has built-in voice assistants. The Portable Home Speaker has a shorter battery life, however, but more powerful sound.
Can I make or take calls from the Bose Portable Smart Speaker?
Yes. With Alexa only, you can make or take calls to Bose smart products, Amazon Echo products, and anyone in your contacts list. To call products, both parties must have this feature set up and be on Wi-Fi.
Enjoy spacious 360 degree sound with powerful bass.
Just like our SoundLink Revolve and Revolve+ speakers, the Bose Portable Smart Speaker is designed to radiate clear sound in all directions at the same time — but it’s also engineered to pack a bigger punch, with deeper bass and more power. Put the speaker in the middle of the party and everyone can enjoy the same experience. Or place it in the corner of the room and the sound will feel like it’s all around you.
They’re even better all together.
The Bose Portable Smart Speaker is part of the new family of Bose smart speakers, which includes the Bose Home Speaker 300, the Bose Home Speaker 500, the Bose Soundbar 500, and the Bose Soundbar 700. Start with one and add more anytime. Because nothing makes a home feel homier than every room filled with astonishing Bose sound.

And the huge killer feature for this speaker is that it also connects and plays from wifi. Now I can play music without interruptions from notifications on my phone, and the music doesn't stop if I walk out of the room. I think the wifi AND bluetooth connectivity options may confuse some users, but I haven't encountered any issues with this and it is wonderful. The speaker appears inside my Spotify app.
I also paired it with our TV's Chromecast via Bluetooth and it provides vastly superior audio for watching movies compared to the build in tv speakers.
Loving this product.

The first set of portable speakers that I bought was Bose Revolve Plus and I felt already that the sound was superior quality compared to the other competitors but this portable home speaker is 10x better than its predecessor and it’s also smart which is a major deal breaker.
Pros:
- BOSE
- Supreme sound quality(never heard with 100% volume because it never felt necessary which is a good thing)
- Premium finish
- The Buttons at the top feels really good to touch, made with superior quality rubber
- Battery quality is good but since it’s a smart speaker, it is advised to let it be on charge always
- can function as a Bluetooth speaker and as a smart speaker
Cons:
- one major negative for me was that when you say hey google or Alexa, you don’t get the prompt sound or does it have any sound in the end which is kind of a downer for me because I never know whether it heard me
- Bose music app feels sluggish and requires lot of bug fixes(software wise)
- Doesn’t work with Bose connect
- Not completely water resistant. Can resist water splashes but not advisable at all.
Bottom line:
Bose’s best portable home speaker till date and definitely worth the money since it’s not $50 less and possibly might go down even more.
Top reviews from other countries
Honestly before buying this I was not very sure about how it will sound due to its small size .
My previous Bose spekars like, wave system, sound touch 30 are bigger in size as compared to this speaker.
When I turned it on for first time I was totally shocked to see how this small speaker can sound like big music system with high quality sound .
It's a magical speaker and totally worth it .
The bass it can produce will surprise you.
Just keep it in corner of room for more deep bass.
The battery backup is good , It lasts for around 10 hours continuous use.
It sounds great for movie audio when paired with TV over bluetooth.
When I played movie over it infront of friends they thought that it's playing on home theatre untill I told them that it's not. It sounds great in movie but it can not produce home theatre like surrounded sound. It can act as your emergency home theatre.
It sounded great in open space picnic area.
Note that in open space bass will be lesser as compared to room. But still it sounds magically great than any other bluetooth speaker available in market.
Hack: in room if you want further more bass then keep it on empty wooden box and enjoy booming deep bass.
