It seems I have to turn up higher to hear it. The volume went from in the fifties to 70s now.

Wow! This speaker is awesome. Small & sleek, modern looking. It delivers that true Bose sound, that rich bass sound. It’s LOUD! Fills up my whole apartment with incredible sound. I took it outside and I’m pretty sure all the neighbors all heard it, lol. 😂 I love good quality music and this delivers premium sound to any space. I can’t think of one bad thing to say about this. I highly recommend this Bose Soundlink Home Bluetooth Speaker. Would be great gift but you are gonna want one or 2 for yourself.

Good things come in small packages

I have several other Bose products (from headphones to the original SoundLink and SoundLink Micro, to their PA system, etc.), and I was so excited when I saw the gorgeous, sleek design of this new SoundLink Home. It really looks amazing and would blend perfectly into any home’s decor. And it’s so small and light, you can easily take it from room to room (or even outside) with you. What really surprised me is how full and loud the sound is! I listen to a variety of music and I must say, vocals have never been more crystal clear as they are on this Home speaker. I was also really impressed by how this tiny speaker handles bass! Of course it doesn’t have as much bass as their larger, PA system, but even playing heavier bass songs (dance/house music), there is absolutely zero distortion or muddling. It sounds much better than my older, larger SoundLink and I think it will sound even better after a longer ‘break in’ period. Another really cool thing is that you can pair 2 SoundLink Home speakers to each other (without the need for an app) for even louder, fuller, stereo sound. At this price point, I recommend buying two if you want even more volume or prefer placing left and right speakers for true stereo sound; either way, you won’t regret it!

Great Speaker!

The Soundlink Home is a great speaker. It has a wonderful sleek look, the perfect size, crisp clean sound, and well balanced bass. I love to listen to music all day, and it fits perfectly on my desk. The Bluetooth range is impressive, and the charging cord is double the length than other Bose speakers, which is a plus. The only downfall, in my opinion, is this speaker can only pair with another Soundlink Home speaker. I own a Flex Soundlink that I would have loved to pair it with. Nonetheless, this is a great speaker to have.

Big Sounds, small package

The design is familiar to more of a home setting. Although it looks great anywhere, it fits best into a contemporary style interiors. The speaker works best at 80% volume. This is where the balance of the bass and treble compliments one another. The bass sound signature is more of the traditional bose bookshelf speaker but in a waves tube like eq. It pushes deep lows that you won't find in any other speaker this size. The highs are detailed an crispy. The sound at max volume is comparable to the flex in paired mode. It's impressive for it's size. Just needs a longer usb cable and a wall adapter would be a nice finishing touch.

I love the shape and design of the speaker making it easy to blend to any space. The small details such as matching charging cable that gown down at 90 degrees instead of going straight out is a winner in my book. Don’t let the size of the speaker fool you because it packs a hefty punch. The only con I had about the speaker is that even though it is a soundlink home it is not able to pair with any other soundlink devices.

Bose's most elegant speaker

When I first unpackaged the speaker I was met with a gorgeous, machined silver speaker. It's design broke out of its common theme with previous SoundLink speakers of cylindrical shapes and rounded edges. I do appreciate the new rectangular shape with it's own unique base as a stand. The machine finish circling around the speaker looks very nice along with the cloth material on the front and back, it all blends in very beautifully. As far as the quality of the music, it sounds really nice and crisp. I took this speaker and placed it in my garage for a few days for some workout sessions and played some variety of hip-hop/rap, rock, alternative and I was very happy with the quality of it!
A cool feature I really like is that you could purchase a pair of 2 of these bad boys and hook them up for a Left and Right setup. One thing to note is that they will only pair with another of the same model -- SoundLink Home, and nothing else, other Bose speakers WILL NOT work.
One thing they did have to give up that I noticed is that it is NOT made to be waterproof/dustproof as a lot of their other products.This is why I knocked it for a star. It is promoted and named a home speaker after all and outside so long as it is on a beautiful, dry and sunny day. It's not meant to be out in the elements to that extent like a SoundLink Flex.
Overall, I do think it is a great buy, one of their most, if not most elegant speakers to put front and center for everyone to see inside your home. It is small but still holds its weight against other speakers of similar size. Bose created a very beautiful product with the SoundLink Home speaker.
