I have a few Amazon Echos that I love, but they're not the greatest range of sound

It's range and sound are fabulous and with the volume on full blast, there is music in every area of my house

[Update in October 2015: I recently set up a powerful wireless range extender in the room where I use this system, and the sync problems and some related playback issues disappeared, so they were probably a sign of a wireless dead zone to which the Bose was simply more sensitive than other devices used in the same room

I chose that system because AirPlay is universal (for iPhone users) in that it can be activated from any app, has lossless audio, range limited only by your wifi network and ease for a guests to connect.

(I can highly recommend that stand as it works well and allows for adjusting the vertical height of the TV as well as allowing the user to rotate the TV through a fairly reasonable range so you can easily angle or point the TV in any direction you might need for a better viewing angle).

For a tech Luddite like me, it was just amazing to hear that great, fat Bose sound, as well as be able to access the thousands of world-wide internet radio stations.

The radio is also great once I brought it home to try out

Tested the base response on KCRW in LA, favorite radio station

Great sound and internet radio which solves the poor of FM reception in our home, plus you can connect wirelessly to stream from your phone or computer

While the app has radio stations that seemingly work just fine to play music (even that has issues where the speakers routinly cut in and out routinely), it is a hopeless endavaor to stream my itunes library music over their app to my speakers

Until Bose can come up with a better way of connecting it's speakers to the Bose radio it

Sound is crystal clear, depth is amazing, but the bass could be handled in a better way

I love the way they can be connected or separate, but have never been that happy with the sound

The only way it would work is to pretend it's not wireless and just use the audio jack

As usual, the sound quality for Bose equipment is great.

To summarise: Great concept, very good sound, crappy quality (in my case, anyway, the Portable went dead after only one month of giving me the above error messages :) - had to get a new board AND pay for

In summary, no setup issues whatsoever and great sound quality

The sound quality is great and it is easy to transport almost anywhere.

; The sound quality is marginal at best, save your money and buy a cheaper better sounding unit.

The Bose soundtouch 20 is far superior to all other speakers in its class

I wanted to love my SoundTouch 20 but it wouldn't stay connected

Flexibility on Bose SoundTouch by far a hands-down winner !!

We had no difficulty accessing our iTunes library, but due to a software flaw, the SoundTouch is unable to properly shuffle iTunes playlists.

The Best Sound Quality speaker comparing to other wireless speakers in the market

I was really excited about this because I wanted the same functionality that Sonos has which is the ability to use the speaker as an alarm and TTS

The speaker itself sounds great, but there are a lot of speakers out there that have decent audio quality and do not cost $350

The smaller Sonos speakers do not have headphone output, which limits its usefulness as an auxiliary speaker, which the SoundTouch 10 can do

This speaker is no good the buttons don't work won't even turn on unless it is plugged in and has just been more of a hassle since I got it

The unit works in concert with the SmartTouch app designed for smartphones and tablets.

The other 25% is thinking the unit is defective, so another will work better.

; The sound quality is marginal at best, save your money and buy a cheaper better sounding unit.

Since they can be paired, if the units were not Bose-expensive, I would buy a couple more for other rooms

GREAT sound but aweful software and bluetooth auto shutdownIf BOSE would listen and fix the STUPID auto shut down and Bluetooth disconnect they would have my business and all my co workers and PROFESSIONAL musician colleagues as well!!!!I returned it and got a Peachtree Deepblue,sound quality slightly less good but good solid Bluetooth connection and unit STAYS ON connected ,unlike the stupid BOSE auto shut down and auto dis connect

Bose is blaming poor app products on lack of experience in the software department??

I've long wondered how Bose lucked into having a good reputation -- this isn't the first time I've owned a totally disappointing product of theirs.

But I do love this product and will be replacing it with a upgrade one

I really love the product, cant stop listening songs on my Bose.

Great product, nice sound, sits elegantly on my shelf and takes up little space...just what I was looking for

But the software and operating system is so incredibly AWFUL that I would never recommend these speakers to anybody who is not a techie type of person who actually prefers trouble shooting all the problems and isn't really all that into listening to music.

This is a nice system but I found that the sound is too heavy on bass for my tastes

However, since then I've realized that the app and remote for controlling the system are both extremely lacking

Overall, this is a really nice compact system that offers the ability to link up to a variety of devices in order to stream music

With that in mind, this system provides a much needed boost to your music, playing it a little closer to house it should sound

Sure it isn't going to fill a concert hall with loud music, but it wasn't designed to -- it fills their home office and bedrooms with god sounding audio nicely, exactly why we bought the 20 rather than overkill with the 30.Only complaint I have was with Amazon's warehouse, not the product.

Set up is very easy to stream all your favorite music , set up took a total of 25 min with an online update to speaker .... do not think twice about buying this

Just a few examples: it doesn't support Apple Music or Amazon Music.

Quite honestly, this isn't a big deal for us, since Pandora, internet radio stations (including local ones), and our network library (WD My Cloud) give us more than enough music

Easy to set up, beautiful design, perfect music to enjoy, while painting art, dancing, working, etc

Of course, you don't get the wireless stuff, but the Bose isn't so hot at this either

Finally a chance to play cd quality on great Bose speakers!

That means that at any time, Bose can decide your speaker doesn’t work anymore

We bought a Bose ST20, Series II internet radio a couple years back and love it.

Hope Bose improves this issue because even if the speaker is plugged in and with all the wifi still get message it has so signal and will stop playing.

With respect to sound, I love the sound quality that this unit puts out; nice clear tones and rich bass.

The highs stay sharp, the mids stay rich, and the bass packs a punch

And here the second problem becomes apparent; the is a huge - and I mean genuinely overpowering - bass presence, at the expense of any mid range clarity

The sound fills the whole room and the bass is loud and clear.

Bass is surprisingly rich, probably overly aggressive on default settings in fact (there is a way to turn it down buried deep in the control app

So I smashed my cucumber instead... sorry cucumber

The SoundTouch ecosystem is a buggy, unreliable, frustrating mess.

The Echo rendered this all as a muddy mess, while the SoundTouch performed admirably
