First of all,to understand my rating read till lastAwesomeness- 1.sound with bass2.Mobile application to Control and setup3.Portability4. Sound clarity5. Connectivity (to primary device)6. Voice is clear even at max volumeDownside-1. Too too expensive. Jbl and many other speakers are available for almost 1/3-1/2 the price of this,with nearly similar sound effect (they can't match bose). Even though I got it in deal at an unbelievable prices (20k),but even then it's costly2. uneasy connecting other devices. If you want to connect next device with Bluetooth,either disconnect the first one,or use primary device "bose music"app to do that. Since it is Bluetooth 5.0,simultaneously connecting multiple devices should be an ease. ( More over,Sony has a method of connecting,wherein when you attempt to connect new device,the previous one automatically disconnects)3. Major flaw -alexa. It becomes unresponsive after Turning off the device for overnight or more. When called customer care regarding this,they said -ITS FLAW WITH SOFTWARE🙄4. The bass. Actually this is first bose device. I paid a hefty amount for it,as I had a Divine sound kind of picture in my mind. But the bass was great,but just fell short of expectations. Bass is crunchy and feels some lacking power. I already have a F&D tower speakers (powered) almost 1/3rd price of this,but everytime it begins with bose and ends with F&D 😅5. There is some vibrating sound in most of songs at high volume. I can't make out the issue. But doesn't feel good in such a productBut ultimately its awesome except price tag

Worth every penny if you are ready to shell out 25k+ for a speaker.some real pros1. Sound clarity is top notch. no vibrations or trembling even at high volume. i connect with spotify and its seamless.2. it has airplay2. so if you are in iOS eco system, you will appreciate the feature.3.built in alexa is nice to have4. I had used a similarly priced SONOS smart home speaker in the past. but this thing totally beat it even though this is a portable speaker.things to consider before buying1.budget of course2.doesn't have a 3.5mm audio jack. in case thats a deal beaker.3.not a total waterproof lik the other sony IP67 versions. its just splash proof and i wouldn't recommend to take this to pool.4.google assistant is not available in India as of the date i'm writing this review.

Excellent speaker

Bose quality is great and you can experience that immediately but what is the use if that quality cannot be experienced all the time?I initially had issues connecting to Alexa but resolved it after researching a bit. FYI, there is not much help available. (Also if you have Echo in your home then you probably don't need to buy this. Just go with other Bose speakers with BT and pair it with echo. The non-personal assistant speakers also have a longer battery life)The real issues are however with bluetooth connectivity. Since it's a wireless device, you will depend on your bluetooth a lot to play music. Remember you cannot connect this device with an aux cable.When I play music via bluetooth, the connection gets "dropped" for a second or two every now and then. It can be very annoying if you're listening to good music as it breaks your "trance". I tried everything that Bose says on their community to fix this (seems like other people have the same issue by the way) - including disabling WPS on the wifi router, resetting the device, installing latest drivers on the computer etc. While it has improved a little bit, the issue persists with lesser frequency.I will be trying the speakers today and if this continues then mostly returning it. Only reason to place the additional hope and patience is because of the speaker quality. It's really great.I will mostly be going with Bose Revolve+ which has aux support.

I really love this speaker. It has everything you would need for home entertainment. The bass is really good and gives you that thump on punchy notes. I often use it for streaming audio via AirPlay when watching movies. Overall I am quite happy and satisfied with the purchase. Its a little expensive but you get the quality in return.

No doubt Bose sound quality is unmatchable but the way its operation is designed is very tedious. It's very irritating to download so many aps to run a sound box, it could be made simple to connect with bluetooth or wifi and play with Alexa. Also with this you need to purchase Amazon Prime without that it won't play any song.Useless product.
