I’ve always been amazed at how Bose can pack such incredible sound in such a small speaker! The Bose Soundlink Home Speaker is yet another example. Full sound with decent bass. Bluetooth connection is excellent. Bravo!

Incredible as a stereo pair

Just got a pair of these - and if I were you, I'd buy two of them too, so you can use them a stereo pair. They sound *sooo* much better as a stereo pair (well, any speakers sound better as a stereo-pair as opposed to one, even those that try to create create stereo sound out of just one speaker). Yeah, there is so much more spaciousness of sound as a a pair, and the wireless stereo-pairing on these Bose speakers works really well too.
Before had bought these, had gotten a pair of Marshall Acton II's that were also supposed to pair together for stereo sound, but they were *really* buggy and it was very difficult to get them to connect together. These Bose Soundlink's on the other hand pair super easily and it feels like magic when they do. Yeah, am really liking the stereo features of these speakers.
I have two gripes. The first is that the there is no sound app to change the equalizer settings (surprisingly important. For example, this will allow you to tweak how it sounds in different rooms...). The the second is the cloth over the front and back of the speakers has different colors in different lighting. Normally, it has a brown color, like you'd expect. But in something like 20% of the lighting, it looks a dirty red, which doesn't look so nice. Actually got my hands on the black color of this speaker, but it also does the same thing (its cloth can look purple), so ended up keeping the brown. Yeah, still, they look really nice overall and they just sound fantastic in stereo mode. They're wonderful!

I didn't expect to love it soo much! It's not only elegant and the perfect size to place anywhere, but the sound that comes from both the front and the back bathes my entire livingroom in crisp highs, solid mids; and strong warm delicious tone of bass!! I am a lover of all types of music and they all sound so very, " live in concert ", with this elegant finely engineered piece of heaven! Happily surprised by this bluetooth speaker and the battery lasts a long time!

I'm not crazy about the sound quality - bass isn't there. Plus, the controls could be clearer. I bought two so I could set up stereo but it seems you have to set it again every time you turn it on.
Response from bose.comBy Bose, Customer Support, December 18, 2025
Hi there, thank you for your feedback. The Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker’s bass can be adjusted, and its sound characteristics may change depending on the location and environment of the sound source. Moving the system closer to a wall or corner, or placing it on or near hard surfaces, will increase the bass response.
Here’s a helpful guide you can check for this concern: https://bose.life/3YBzAs0
Regarding stereo mode: when either speaker is powered on, it reconnects to the most recently connected speaker. Note: The other speaker must be within range (30 ft / 9 m) and powered on. Hope this helps!
