Bose Portable Smart Speaker
More music — wherever you are.
Living room dance off? Backyard camping? Patio party? Whatever (and wherever) you have planned, the Bose Portable Smart Speaker delivers the sound you want and portability you need to keep the party going — or take the party with you.
How do I control the Bose Portable Smart Speaker?
Within Wi-Fi range, you can control the speaker with your voice (without using your mobile device) or with the Bose Music app. Outside Wi-Fi range, you can control the speaker with your mobile device via Bluetooth.
What music services can I use with the Bose Portable Smart Speaker?
You can play popular music services like Amazon Music, Spotify, and Pandora anywhere you’ve got Wi-Fi. Everywhere else, you can use Bluetooth to listen to anything your mobile phone or tablet can play. Apple users can also use AirPlay 2.
How does the Bose Portable Smart Speaker compare to the Bose Home Speaker 300 and Bose Home Speaker 500?
The Portable Home Speaker is wireless and water-resistant, while the Home Speaker 300 and 500 aren’t. The Portable Home Speaker and the Home Speaker 300 have comparable acoustic performance, while the Home Speaker 500 has even better sound.
How does the Bose Portable Smart Speaker compare to the Bose SoundLink Revolve+?
Both are Bluetooth speakers, but only the Portable Smart Speaker works via Wi-Fi, too. Only the Portable Home Speaker has built-in voice assistants. The Portable Home Speaker has a shorter battery life, however, but more powerful sound.
Can I make or take calls from the Bose Portable Smart Speaker?
Yes. With Alexa only, you can make or take calls to Bose smart products, Amazon Echo products, and anyone in your contacts list. To call products, both parties must have this feature set up and be on Wi-Fi.


Enjoy spacious 360 degree sound with powerful bass.
Just like our SoundLink Revolve and Revolve+ speakers, the Bose Portable Smart Speaker is designed to radiate clear sound in all directions at the same time — but it’s also engineered to pack a bigger punch, with deeper bass and more power. Put the speaker in the middle of the party and everyone can enjoy the same experience. Or place it in the corner of the room and the sound will feel like it’s all around you.
They’re even better all together.
The Bose Portable Smart Speaker is part of the new family of Bose smart speakers, which includes the Bose Home Speaker 300, the Bose Home Speaker 500, the Bose Soundbar 500, and the Bose Soundbar 700. Start with one and add more anytime. Because nothing makes a home feel homier than every room filled with astonishing Bose sound.

I received the Bose Portable Home Speaker and setup was pretty straight forward. I long awaited Bose to offer a portable WIFI/Bluetooth speaker and now it is here. It works well with WIFI and Bluetooth. No early dropout. At first listen it wasn’t bad. It has more low end than the revolve+ but it seemed to leave the mids sounding a bit thin. I also noticed that there is a large boost around 85hZ that comes in and drops off sharply as music plays. I think this is due to the design of the passive radiators. There are 3 instead of 2 now. I think Bose are pushing the limit of what the speaker can do and it is a balancing act they usually win but this speaker is not the case. It is that resonating frequency that annoys me because it is so loud compared to all other frequencies.
The only other issue I have is that even at low volume the music sounds over compressed sometimes. You usually don’t get this affect until higher volumes. It is also annoying and not like Bose to do that.
I listen to everything from smooth jazz to hip hop although I prefer jazz so it has been tested with all types of music.
For it’s size it is still amazing that it can produce the sound it does. I think a software update could fix these issues.
On a good note the app works really well with the Bose Portable Home Speaker and even offers a Bass and Treble adjustment. Definitely a first for Bose.
I am a sound engineer so you might not notice these flaws like I did and I know that this is not designed to be a reference speaker so I do not have those types of expectations I have simply owned almost all major brand Bluetooth speakers and many off brands at one time or another. So I know what to expect due to size, design, and price point. For a price of $349.99 this should be up there with the best sounding Bluetooth speakers on the market. Let’s hope Bose sends an update to remedy this.
Update: 9/8/20
The Zipp 2 proved to be a great speaker until it would no longer connect to airplay. I ended up giving it to a friend after purchasing the Sonos Move. It has all the features as the above but sounded way better, and if you are familiar with the app it is pretty amazing and works seamlessly with many different music platforms. Search for Spotify, SiriusXM, Apple Music, Hulu, and title plus more off from the app using one search and it will give you results for each music service all in one. Anytime you move the Sonos Move, hence the name, it will use it seven different microphones to adjust The sound to your surroundings to give it the best possible sound no matter where you put it. It is quite amazing how flat and uncolored the sound is with only a little extra zest in the lower end. Compared to the Bose portable home speaker the cost is $499 but it also includes a halo shaped charger that is very slim and sits on a desk or table and all you do is simply set the Sonos Move in the dock and it will start charging. The Bose portable home speaker charging cradle was a separate cost and it was not included in the original purchase of the speaker itself. I was able to get 12 hours of battery life at a decent volume. Believe me this thing gets pretty loud so it can cover a party no problem whether it’s inside or out and maintains the superb sound that Sonos is famous for.

Finally, I have the apps are different, I have the BoseQC35 and I have to install 2 apps, and my wife she has the Revolve, but for this I have to use a different app, it is like 2 different brands.
Quality sound is great, but with the time that becomes a commodity, the main difference relies on the small details.

Tremendous sound distortion at highs. Bass punch only felt when hearing from the sides. Loudness was really impressive but sound clarity was astonishingly not impressive. You are spending 31,500 of your hard earned money you want to be perfect.

some real pros
1. Sound clarity is top notch. no vibrations or trembling even at high volume. i connect with spotify and its seamless.
2. it has airplay2. so if you are in iOS eco system, you will appreciate the feature.
3.built in alexa is nice to have
4. I had used a similarly priced SONOS smart home speaker in the past. but this thing totally beat it even though this is a portable speaker.
things to consider before buying
1.budget of course
2.doesn't have a 3.5mm audio jack. in case thats a deal beaker.
3.not a total waterproof lik the other sony IP67 versions. its just splash proof and i wouldn't recommend to take this to pool.
4.google assistant is not available in India as of the date i'm writing this review.

1) it cannot be used to take calls.
2) battery life isnt tht great
3) it doesnt support siri or apple features
4) u cannot msg or send audio files via alexa on bose
5) u cannot make phone calls

I initially had issues connecting to Alexa but resolved it after researching a bit. FYI, there is not much help available. (Also if you have Echo in your home then you probably don't need to buy this. Just go with other Bose speakers with BT and pair it with echo. The non-personal assistant speakers also have a longer battery life)
The real issues are however with bluetooth connectivity. Since it's a wireless device, you will depend on your bluetooth a lot to play music. Remember you cannot connect this device with an aux cable.
When I play music via bluetooth, the connection gets "dropped" for a second or two every now and then. It can be very annoying if you're listening to good music as it breaks your "trance". I tried everything that Bose says on their community to fix this (seems like other people have the same issue by the way) - including disabling WPS on the wifi router, resetting the device, installing latest drivers on the computer etc. While it has improved a little bit, the issue persists with lesser frequency.
I will be trying the speakers today and if this continues then mostly returning it. Only reason to place the additional hope and patience is because of the speaker quality. It's really great.
I will mostly be going with Bose Revolve+ which has aux support.
