Bose Wave Bluetooth Audio Adapter Review

I paid extra for a Bose Bluetooth speaker over other brands because we used to own a Bose Wave Radio/CD player, and I still use my Bose PC speakers. I know a lot of hardcore audiophiles dislike Bose for how it manipulates the audio - but I'm no audiophile, and Bose speakers always have big sound for a small device - not just loud, but full and encompassing the space I'm in. This one surprised even me with how room-filling the audio is, especially from a battery-operated speaker that's not much bigger than a portable DVD drive. It goes with me whenever I travel now, and I take it from the living room to the bathroom when I'm showering so I can hear over the water what's being said on podcasts.

I have been listening to Bose since the 70's with their 901 speakers through their Bose Wave technology. Time to update to Bluetooth and put away the CD's and IPOD. Great sound quality as expected. Play it loud.

I mounted this directly to the back of an old Bose Wave Radio that I use on my desk. I have a central whole-house audio feed that I sometimes like to listen to through it, but sometimes I just want to listen only to the music through my bluetooth adapter just in this room, so this allows me to easily switch between those two sources with a flick of a switch. Mounting it to the back of the radio with sticky foam tape hides it from the front, and makes it easy to find by feel. I've had it since June 2014, and it's still going strong as of Dec 2019 (5.5yrs).

Bose is the best bar none! From their Wave Radio to their speakers!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little Bluetooth adapter to connect to my audio system. Although my receiver has built-in Bluetooth, it is very finicky to connect to. This unit solved the problem. I like that it has an optical cable connector to make the connection to my receiver.

Great sound, prefer over my Bose wave radio

I am sooo Delighted with my Bose Bluetooth Speaker…

For $ I am very pleased... I use this on my Sony turntable which has a pre-amp, but not powerful enough when I route this through my Bose Wave music system. Works great, very happy with the purchase...Wish it had an on/off switch, though.

The Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter works right out of the box. It comes with a power supply , a mini-stereo to RCA cord. In my case I connected to the Aux-Input on an old Sony receiver. I paired it to my iPhone 4s and my macbook pro with no trouble. My daughter's macbook pro paired up right away but she tried to stream her iTunes and it would not go. However, her Spotify went fine. The range seemed acceptable. There were some artifacts (like digital hiccups) but I am not sure it was the device or the laptop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an owner of many Bluetooth audio speakers, including multiple Bose speakers (three Soundlinks included), I was not disappointed in Bose's newest addition, the Soundlink Flex. The SoundLink Flex continues the legacy of great-sounding Bose portable Bluetooth speakers – big sound in a small package. I love my Soundlink Micro for biking and listening to music on the beach, but it was time for an upgrade, and the micro, while impressive, was never going to blow anyone away with its sound. The Flex is a perfect upgrade to the micro. It has much deeper bass and louder overall volume, which makes it better suited for outdoor activities. The highs are also clearer at both lower and higher volume levels. Yes, the Flex is a little larger and heavier, but the included strap makes it easy to attach and carry. The Flex is just as waterproof as the micro, so it is ideally suited for beach activities. I also take I t on my jet ski because it is loud enough to hear. Bose included a few new perks, including the ability to set up the flex as part of a stereo pair with other Soundlink speakers. This excellent feature allows me to connect my Revolve II or micro for some added sound and stereo for larger parties on my patio. The Bose Connect app quickly paired the Flex to my Android phone without any problems. While connected to your phone, the Flex can take calls, and the microphone is not bad if you are relatively close. It also allows you to connect to your phone's assistant to request music or other assistant features through the speaker. I did not notice any Bluetooth cutouts or interference issues. The flex is a fantastic addition to the Soundlink family. Disclaimer: I did receive a discount on this product for my unbiased review.
