This SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter is actually another great Bose addition to ANY existing non-wirless set up including previous Bose products that didn't offer SoundTouch like my Bose CineMate 120 soundbar, which they dropped and revised to the Bose SoundTouch 120 soundbar
I streamed a variety of music from Amazon Music and Pandora and was increadibly impressed with how rich the SoundTouch's DAC is and how much presence the music has
Thankfully Bose listened to its customers and created this product to add the awesome soundtouch capability to any speakers
You can select the appropriate input remotely using the free SoundTouch app
The integration with the App is great and working within the App to control the Link Adapter as well as a SoundTouch Portable.

My soundbar, for example, was completely missing from the Bose app, with no instructions for setting up the wifi.- At $149, the link adapter is 50% more expensive than Apple's Airtunes (Airport Express) and 400%+ more expensive than Google Chromsecast (
As I said, now that the Bose “puck” is networked to BOTH my wifi as well as via Bluetooth, I can choose either one, however wifi is hands down better.

I'm not saying some Bose adapters don't have problems.
This thing works well enough but some other things let it down, notably the TERRIBLE Bose mobile app which won't let you sort by ANYTHING and will only display 20 albums by an artist, so you can forget browsing, say, Van Morrison or Bob Dylan's full catalogue

The amazing thing happened next when I installed the app on a tablet (after setting up with the phone), and the tablet picked up the presets, newly named speaker, and the Amazon/Pandora I'd set up.

I had an intercom system in my house that would do the same thing back in the old days of hard-wired devices and really enjoyed being able to go throughout the house listening to the same music wherever I was.
I have to disconnect the power in order for the bluetooth scan function to work
In addition, the Bluetooth on the SoundTouch is powerful
The bad about this item is the price for the added functionality you get, some of which can be replicated for less:--I have TuneIn Pro on my phone that also lets me stream internet radio from anywhere in the world, and it does pretty much the same as this Bose device.--Being able to connect a non-Bluetooth audio system to a Bluetooth transmitting device is great, but an inexpensive Bluetooth receiver like this [...] can add that capability for a lot less.
I've tried a couple other things like a receiver with a crappy app and a bluetooth
Much better off to use inexpensive Bluetooth adapter and an Echo Dot to connect via WiFi
The positives:This device is great for streaming Spotify or Bluetooth audio throughout the entire house
If you just want to have the audio alone this device works great.
I can stream to either Bose SoundTouch device no problem and to both of them at the same time sometimes, then suddenly one drops and nothing short of rebooting every device multiple times can bring it back.

The device works very well, both with bluetooth and wifi.
I love my SoundTouch 120 home theater system, but the Wireless Link Adapter doesn't seem to work at this stage.~ Kort
For a comfortable all room different devices and good app i really recommend the soundtouch way, especially now with this fantastic new wireless link adapter.
All this (nothing on toast) after a longish odyssey through unhelpful and dead links
I had intially planned to slap the Bose SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter on my computer sound system and be done with it
So while the Wireless Link is good for some things, it does not work well with other things
After much (1 hour), pressing the reset buttons, the Bluetooth button on top of the “puck” and back and forth with my android phone’s Bluetooth hookup, I finally got the system to play music from my phone (Pandora) via Bluetooth through my hard-wired home system.
I have a hard-wired home system; I don’t have any of their “speaker choices” they illustrated.

Sound quality through any wireless device is not going to be as good as a direct wire system.
The system I wanted to use it with is a hard-wired (speakers), multi-room home stereo sound system
