Bose does it again!!! The speaker is very easy to connect to Bluetooth devices and the sound quality is great. You get the same crisp, quality sound that Bose is known for. Also, the look of the speaker will set off your room and get you many compliments. If you don't own this speaker...you need to get one!!

Great indoor speaker

As a 30 year old guy who is either at home, or out camping/ hiking but also enjoys high quality sound, I’ve had my fair share of experiences with Bluetooth speakers, headphones and soundbars, I always find myself coming back to Bose. The Bose SoundLink Home continues to uphold the brand’s reputation for delivering top-tier audio quality in a compact form. For its size, the sound is truly impressive—rich, clear, and capable of filling a medium sized room with ease. Pairing a second speaker is the icing on the cake. The immersion goes from great to amazing. The best part is, they’re really easy to pair. With a touch of some buttons, and the speaker itself guiding you, it could not be easier to pair them together. Whether you’re listening to music, podcasts, or watching videos, the sound remains well-balanced and immersive.
The design is another standout feature. With its sleek, modern aesthetic, it seamlessly fits into any home setting. Whether it’s on a shelf or a coffee table, it complements the space without feeling obtrusive. I usually leave it on my entryway table and my other one in the tv stand to give the living room that surround sound feeling. That makes it really easy to listen to music when I just want to relax after working all day.
However, there are a couple of minor downsides worth noting. The charging cable is notably short, which can be inconvenient depending on where you plan to use it. Additionally, the placement of the charging port feels awkward, making it look odd when plugged in. Although This is easily remedied by unplugging it, as it does have good battery life, I’d prefer if the charging port was in the back. Because of my love for the outdoors, I also miss the weather-resistant feature found in previous SoundLink models. This omission limits its use in outdoor environments compared to its predecessors.
Despite these small flaws, the Bose SoundLink Home still shines in terms of sound quality and design. Having purchased various brands over the years, I can confidently say that Bose consistently delivers a superior audio experience, which keeps me coming back.
Pros:
Amazing sound quality for its size.
Sleek and modern design.
Ability to pair 2 speakers
Great battery life
Portable

Incredible sound!

Wow! I can hardly believe my ears when listening to my favorite music through this new speaker! The amazing sound is only one of many great qualities this latest effort has. Beginning with the construction, this speaker is extremely well made, from the sturdy aluminum case to the appealing fabric covering. The speaker rests on a rubber baseplate that keeps it in place on any surface. Once you hold this speaker in your hands, the weight and quality workmanship are obvious. This has tremendous eye appeal and complements any room's decor beautifully. Now the best part - the sound it produces. Absolutely incredible! This portable speaker packs a powerful punch without being overbearing. The sound easily fills my family room, which is 27 x 13. The higher the volume is adjusted, the better the sound output. Bass and treble are perfectly balanced across any music genre, with audio books and podcasts having equally favorable results. The audio experience from such a small, portable, absolutely stunning unit is unparalleled. I have owned the previous generations of portable speakers, and they are fantastic as far as sound and eye appeal are concerned, but this unit exceeds even the highest expectations I have come to expect. This speaker sets the standard bar at the highest level, and it's difficult to speculate on any improvement that can be made. Well done!

Impressive!

I just received my Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker, and I must say that I am completely impressed. This small but mighty speaker delivers a punch in a powerful and clear sound that one might expect from a much larger speaker system. The quality of sound is superb, and the modern design of the speaker at first glance threw me off a bit that it was a speaker. It was easy to connect, and even simpler to use. My only complaint is that the power button had a couple of deep scratches on it, but as a certifiable Bose fanatic myself, this speaker delivers the superior sound quality that one would expect from Bose. I really love it!

Awesome speaker

I've owned the Bose SoundLink Home for about a week and I love it. I've owned and own other Bose BT speakers and I can say that the Soundlink Home is by far the best I've had. Battery life lasts for hours while the speaker is in use. The charging cable is longer, thicker and sturdy. Buttons are easy to use. The only thing I don't like and the reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the cloth/mesh material on the speaker. I own cats and im constantly finding myself having to keep the cats away from the speaker because I feel that if they claw it, it will easily rip.

Another Amazing New Product From Bose!

I received this speaker in the mail a few days ago and it is amazing! The sound quality is excellent, and it was very easy to get set up. The size of the speaker is perfect for using around the house or even on the go. I have mine set up in my living room and the sound fills the room. I have several different types of Bose speakers, and this one is by far the best yet! The price is very much worth the quality that is put into this Bose speaker. The only downside was I was not able to connect to the speaker through the Bose app so I could change the equalizer settings. The Bluetooth connection works great, and it is very easy to set up. I was able to take the speaker out of the box and start playing music right away. The Bose speaker is very user friendly; the buttons are very similar to other Bose speakers that I have. But, overall, this is a must have Bose speaker, I highly recommend it!

Pros:
Look - Love the sleek look - perfect fir to home office set up
Sound - Incredibly clear audio - especially speech. Podcast and Webex - awesome. I connected to TV as well and it allowed me to watch some tv shows without the need for subtitles.
Range - Surprisingly strong - would not break or distort heavily as I would walk away upstairs or outside with my phone
Battery - It lasts a full workday of listening to Webex calls/podcasts/music - longer than normal charger cable
Cons:
Build - feels a bit top heavy (rear) as it topples over very easily
Bass - not very heavy (I prefer the Soundlink Flex)

Clear Crisp Sound

This little speaker packs an incredibly clear and clean sound. I have a number of Bose bluetooth speakers and the brightness of the treble on this one blows me away. This speaker is perfect for vocal and instrumental music. If you are after the bumpin' bass in a small, portable, bluetooth speaker, I prefer the Bose SoundLink Revolve. It provides big sound for such a small speaker and easily fills our living room. It also has a sleek modern look to it.
