Bose Smart Speaker 500

I replaced a Bose Smart Speaker 500 with the Marshall Action 3 speaker. I prefer the simplicity & well built design of my Marshall speaker, and the sound is indeed AWESOME!

I use the Sonos 5 on a daily basis. Before this, it was a Bose Home speaker 500. It's downside is a lack of Bluetooth, my workaround for this to my TV is adapting the optical out to a 3.5mm jack (got complicated quickly, first started using Ethernet, which was good but internet to TV..) Very good speaker, annoys the neighbours, love it.

I bought a bose smart speaker and it didn't work (wouldn't connect to the internet). Returned it and bought this Sonos and love it. Setup was super easy with amazing sound. Works as a pass through speaker from my laptop or I can use the controller App from my Android phone.

We purchased the Bose Wave Sound Touch music system and this speaker last week to use for my smart TV, Cell-phone, Computer, I Pad and Tablet . This is the perfect system I just take it with me when I go up stairs, outside or in the garage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL never fails to put a smile on my face when listening to music with their products! This JBL Authentics 500 retro looking smart home speaker is amazing. Punchy lows, powerful mids, and crisp highs! Everything down to the clean brass / gold accents on the speaker, beautiful grille, to the packaging screams classy. This absolutely can be a center piece and doesnt need to be hidden away like other speakers you may have in your home. As classy and sophisticated the JBL Authentics 500 looks, it does not play around when you need to transform your home into your very own live concert or night club. At it's top volume, you have no distortion and even your neighbors across the street will be enjoying the quality of sound this speaker gives. At this point you don't need to read anymore and just buy this speaker but... it gets even better!! This is a wi-fi speaker meaning you can pair the JBL Authentics 500 with all of your other wi-fi enabled smart speakers in home! An absolute joy to shake your home and feel like you are front stage at your favorite band's concert! If you are contemplating getting this to add speakers to your home or even have this as a stand-alone, you will not be dissappinted in the slightest bit!

Happy I went with Bose! I will never use any other speaker.

What can I say .....We all know Bose is the only speaker you will ever need. And it just keeps getting better.

This speaker is awesome. Way better than the Bose speaker I have.

I am new to Bose, and by far the best speaker that I had. Super happy!

I'm very satisfied with the Bose Soundlink Flex Speaker.
