Bose Smart Speaker 300 With Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Voice Control Built-in, Silver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Form. 5/5 The speaker is a great size and is very sturdy. It feels and looks 'expensive' and you can appreciate the quality of the build as soon as you handle it. It's attractive to look at and fits in well in any room in the house. Set up. 4/5 The first thing to note about the Bose 300 is how easy the it is to set up with with both Google and Alexa. It's effectively two systems in one as well as standard Bluetooth connectivity. I already own both a Google Home and an Amazon Echo, but even if you've never used either of these, the set-up is relatively straightforward. However, initially the connection dropped out on the first couple of tries, although after this, it has remained stable. Sound. 5/5 Absolutely superb! I've tested this for over a week and have played classical music, rock, pop and a variety of audio books. The sound is absolutely fantastic. There is PLENTY of bass and this is more than good enough to replace a modern stereo system. It's fantastic for playing Spotify, Amazon Music and internet radio. You can also connect any Bluetooth device directly to the speaker. Quite brilliant!!! Usability. 5/5 Set up is a doddle through the Bose music app. I downloaded the Android version through my OnePlus 5 phone. You can choose to use Google or Alexa, and to be honest they are both equally as good. It's simple to use and easy to navigate the app menus. Very straightforward. Both Google and Alexa have their flaws (particularly with my accent!), but this is no reflection on the Bose Home Speaker 300. I have similar problems with my Google Home and Alexa speakers... Verdict: I would highly recommend this product to all music lovers. The sound quality is fantastic. It's a bit more expensive than similar speakers on the market, but you're effectively getting a choice of operating systems and aren't fixed to either Google or Amazon. Great for audiobooks, Spotify and Amazon Music! Pros: - Excellent sound - Sturdy build - Easy to set up - Wide range of skills / apps - Dual Amazon and Google. Cons: - Initial connectivity issues - Expensive

We absolutely love our BOSE 300 speaker. I have always loved BOSE products since I was young and they have really good sound. I have a bunch of BOSE products and this speaker did not disappoint me. I love it is easy to set up and only takes a few minutes to connect to the BOSE and ALEXA apps. It's a great addition to all the other speakers we have including other Bose speakers. This speaker packs a powerful sound in it's small size and I use it most for listening to music in our kitchen. It connects easily to the Bose App and Alexa apps. I am able to ask Alexa just about anything, add things to my cart, find recipes, get notifications and more. It connects easily via USB bluetooth, wifi, and airplay which is cool. It has 6 preset buttons and the sound is superior with such a compact design. The best part for me is the sound quality and how I can connect easily to my Amazon prime music and ask it to play whatever music I prefer. It also connects to spotify, pandora, iheart, weezer, Sirius XM and more. The speaker has a very sleek and classy design and doesn't take up much space. It hears me clearly and does just about whatever I need. My kids even like talking to Alexa and one of my kids even figured out she could play games with it on the Bpse speaker too although it's easy to mute Alexa. We are throughly impressed and happy with this speaker.
