Customer reviews
Great Speaker! Alexa with ease! Kudos to the Bose Music App!
I hesitated on purchasing based a lot of the reviews, but I am so glad I decided to give it a try. The only con that I have found with this unit is that it is not portable. If Bose could combine the Home Speaker 300 with the portable features of the Revolve Soundlink, that would be an awesome product! Alexa works wonderfully. The Bose Music app is great, especially to control the volume. We use it mostly for streaming movies in the bedroom and it sounds just as good as our full entertainment system with multiple speakers and surround sound. We also use it when we travel. BT and WiFi Connections are easy and I was able to quickly connect to my favorite music streaming platforms through the app. Because it is Alexa enabled, it works flawlessly with my FireTV. I have NOT noticed any delay with the sound, even when watching action movies. The boom is powerful and I just love telling Alexa to ‘pause’ or ‘mute’ without moving a muscle. And finally, the footprint is small and compliments any decor. It’s small enough to easily move around, you just have to make sure there is an outlet nearby. Oh, and other reviewers indicated that it loses connectivity often, but as long as the speaker is connected to the same Wi-Fi as the device with the Bose Music app, I have not had to reconnect since the initial install. One more thing, the app allows you to easily connect to other Bose speakers (including Soundlink speakers) and create a group.

Wonderful sound quality
We purchased this speaker to replace one that I wore out (the bass started to break up). As soon as I set this unit up I was so pleased. The quality of the sound and the clarity of the bass and treble is fantastic. I had one problem in set up. I contacted Bose support. They were wonderful and took all the time necessary. As it turns out the problem was not with Bose, it was with my Apple phone. Note to future buyers - if the phone app does not work as supposed to shut down your phone and start over. The problem I had was my phone! I highly recommend the Bose speaker. One problem ... the speaker ability to play quality sounds at loud volumes far exceeds that which my wife allows me to play. The house walls shake when she is not home!

pretty stable connection to wifi
If you've owned earlier versions of any internet of things speakers - you may already have experienced the pain of a incessantly disconnecting speaker. I am pleased to report that these speakers seem to stay connected 99% of the time (which I have so much confidence in - that we put this speaker on a shelf that you need a ladder to get to). We own two now, one at work. The Bose app is WONKY for sure. However, we use this regularly with Spotify and iHeart radio with little issue. Spotify i think runs even when you don't have the device connected which is cool if you don't want the app running in the background of your phone or computer or whatever. Works much better than the bose color soundlink one for sure and is more skookum.

Compact Size, Expansive Sound
The Bose Home Speaker 300 is a sonic powerhouse in a sleek, space-saving design. The 360° sound fills the room with rich, balanced audio—crisp highs, deep bass, and clear vocals that make everything from jazz to podcasts sound incredible. Setup was quick and intuitive, and the built-in Alexa makes it a seamless addition to my smart home. Voice commands are picked up easily, even with music playing. I love being able to control my lights, check the weather, and queue up playlists hands-free. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity give me flexibility, and the touch controls on top are a nice bonus. Whether I’m winding down or hosting friends, this speaker delivers every time.
