BoseS1 Pro System Backpack, Black

I just finished taking this speaker/backpack on a fast paced month of traveling to 6 countries, 7 locations, with lots of flights. Airlines do not allow you to check-in lithium batteries (which the Bose speaker has), so you must take the speaker as a carry-on. If not for this backpack, it would have been horrible. The backpack survived the month of constant travel, and is still in great shape. The speaker is heavy, but the backpack made it work. It’s big (with the speaker inside), so a couple Australian airlines told me it had to go as a check-in, but when I explained that it has a lithium battery, they let me carry it on.One downside: the top handle is kinda ridiculous. It causes the entire weight of the speaker to be held by a zipper. I don’t use that handle at all, it just seems like it will break. So buy this pack, but don’t hold it by the top handle and you’ll be fine.

We own a wedding business and provide sound for ceremonies on the beach. We needed portable, yet high quality, and battery powered. We put off purchasing one for several years (and own two speakers from a competitor) but we needed a third and decided to bite the bullet and try out the BOSE S1. For those of you who have the speaker, you know it’s quality and value. The backpack is the perfect compliment to hold the speaker and keep it secure. It’s so much easier to carry as a backpack so you can carry a speaker stand or other gear as well. I love the top zippered area. We store our iPad and aux cord in it so it’s alwags together. We love this and if we ever purchase additional S1 Pro’s we will definitely purchase the backpack again.

Love my personal BOSE carrying backpack,handpack,sidepack,no matter how you carry it, you will know its a BOSE. Beautiful,compact and spacious at same time,not bulky,will not bother your walk,love it,im a preacher,fitted my bible,bluetooth head microphone,speaker,and extra room,theres no word to describe the usefullness of this bag,money will not be the issue,when you feel how good it feels carrying your equipment

This backpack for my Bose S1 pro is top quality. Perfect fit, excellent materials and construction, very comfortable. Highly recommended for working musicians. Storage for mic, cord and numerous other items. I tried other backpacks not made for Bose S1 pro and they were lame, compared to this high quality Bose item.

Bose sound equipment performs to a standard above anything else I've used over the 50 years or so I've been a professional musician, and this little backpack lives up to that standard. I'm writing this back home after a 2-hour solo gig in a moderate-sized room for which I used the S1 Pro for the entire sound system. I love it that I could pack the S1 away with my microphone and all the cables for the show in the upper chamber of this backpack. I could actually use some gusseted pockets on the outside; I have no idea what those little flat pockets will ever be good for. That said, the overall design is great, the construction is bulletproof, and the fit is perfect. Yes, it's expensive for a backpack, but like everything Bose, it is well worth it.

I was on the fence about requiring this but after paying $650 for a speaker the thought of not protecting it made it a no brainer. Great fit, comfortable to carry. You won’t be disappointed. I do wish the price point was lower, realistically should be $75-$100

I am glad to have on of these, but I have a hard time recommending them due to the high price. My S1 fits easily, and is reasonably well protected from scratches and minor bumps, but I wouldn't expect it to protect very well if tossed into a van or truck for more professional gigs. Think of this as a great way to schlep your S1 around for busking, camping etc... While it is reasonably sturdy, there are no hard panels to protect your gear from dings and dents. It is a lot better than merely tossing your S1 into your trunk, but that's about it.

Great unit. I loved this unit so much I went and bought a 2nd Bose S1 Pro. I am a professional DJ in Socal California and do approximately 100 weddings a year. This unit is perfect for wedding ceremonies under 120 and below and a 2nd unit is perfect to cover cocktail hour with no dependency or reliance on electrical power. I have even brought it to the park or the basketball court. The fact that it is battery operated helps tremendously is great.
