I experienced this at random times, including very early in the morning while I was still trying to sleep and the speaker made a loud noise to wake me up.

every loud noise outside my apartment wakes me

The speaker could make noise at any time without my ability to control it, so I can't bring this anywhere that I won't be embarrassed by a loud, unexpected noise coming from my speaker.

As for its closest competition, the B&O P2, the Bose is fully waterproof while the former doesn't have any weather proofing (I didn't think B&O advertised any water resistance but apparently some reviews state the speaker is splash proof)
