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!

Perfect Home Office Complement

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.

This Speaker Rocks!

I love this Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker! It sounds and looks amazing. The Bluetooth range is the best I've ever seen and i have yet to drain the battery.
The Sound
I'm in my late fifties with very ecclectic taste in music. I used this speaker to listen to a variety of music including Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, Styx, Chicago, Led Zepplin and Chris Stapleton as weak as a few movies. It sounds great in every room of my house. The sound is rich, full and fills any room. I wasn't impressed with the sound at a very low volume in my office, but at every other level, the sound is impressive!

The Look
I have the light silver and it fits right in any room. It's sleek, modern look compliments any decor without standing out, unless you want it to.

Bluetooth
This has the best Bluetooth range of any device that I have. I went upstairs without realizing that the speaker was still on and my husband couldn't figure out why the speaker was playing.

Battery
The battery lasts forever! I have used this speaker for hours this week and have yet to drain the battery. When i received it, the battery life was 60% and after a half hour of charging, the battery was full. I used it for several hours for a few days in a row when i realized the battery life was still at 80% so i tracked my usage. I turned it on when it was at 80%, I listened for 4 hours and it went down to 60%, 3 hours later it was at 40%.

I highly recommend this speaker to anyone looking for a versatile home speaker. If it wasn't so portable, I would buy one for every room. I still prefer my SoundLink Flex for on the go use as it is waterproof and lighter than this one.

Bass AND Style!!

Looking for a speaker that can deliver Bose's amazing sound AND look sleek and stylish? Look no further! Soundlink Home has it all. My son loves to jam kid songs, while I like to jam songs with some good bass. Either way, our music sounds great!! And I absolutely love the new stylish look! Whether it's sitting on the TV stand, kitchen counter or on a nice display shelf, it looks amazing! I could even see someone wondering if its a speaker upon first glance. My one and only con on the Soundlink Home is that it will not link up to any other previous Soundlink speaker, but only with another Soundlink Home in stereo mode. All in all, if you are looking for a great quality speaker with great new looks, I highly recommend this speaker!!

Beautiful and Modern

I've had my Bose Soundlink Home speakers for a couple of weeks now and I really love them! The setup was really easy. I didn't need to use the Bose Connect app (I'm an android user) which sometimes can be wonky for me. I listened to music while I cleaned the kitchen and noticed that the sound was clear and sounded "closer" than usual. I usually listen on a Soundlink Flex, but this speaker sounded more robust. The music, podcasts and books I listened to just sounded closer to me somehow. Sounds were clear and smooth. I have paired my two Soundlink Home speakers together to get stereo sound and I love it! I put one in my family room and one in the kitchen - the rooms are open to each other with high ceilings. These mighty little speakers really fill the room. The music sounds rich and clean. I like to listen to cello music while I'm working and the bass sounded full, the way I like it. My husband also used stereo mode to listen to his music - metal and classic rock. He said he preferred a little more bass but that was the only thing he would change. Our living area (kitchen, eating area, family room) has tall ceilings but the footprint of our family room doesn't leave much room for large speakers so these really fit the room and the aesthetic. The polished look of these speakers blends in well with the look of our home. In fact, if Bose came out with a brass/gold version I would quickly buy it! When moving the speaker I noticed that I tended to pick it up by putting my hand in the space between the frame and the speaker because I didn't want to put fingerprints on the cloth or the metal. You can really pick it up easily but I like things to stay looking pristine. I really appreciate the little details that Bose put into this speaker, not only the modern look, but the bottom of the speaker has a rectangle of silicone with little feet that make putting it anywhere stress free because it won't scratch your furniture and you don't have to worry about hurting the nice metal frame of the speaker. These thoughtful touches go a long way with me. These speakers really fit the bill for my home and family, we are going to get a lot of enjoyment out of them for a long time!
