Bose SoundTouch 10 Wireless Music System - Black

Ok I hummed and hawed over this for ages being 57 and a bit of a thechnophobe I checked out all the reviews for this and about half a dozen others out there , well I have to say it arrived today and I unpacked it plugged it in ,downloaded the app connected to my WiFi let the speaker update its self , then put two of my favourite radio stations and one of my playlists onto three of the six available presets and voila 15-20 mins later I'm sitting back listening to my favourite tunes on an awesome sounding speaker over WiFi , it truly sounds like the bands in the room .Finally I can honestly say that if any one isn't getting the same experience then send it back for a replacement it's simply a faulty unit and don't complain until then cause mines is fantastic thank you Bose one satisfied customer .Just to answer some of the critics out there yes this is a mono speaker and if stereo is so important to you buy a stereo or just get two of these and use the free app to connect them as in my experience the average ear will find this fine if however you have pitch perfect hearing don't bother as nothing is going to satisfy you .OK had this for a little while now so time for an update, yes there are problems with Bluetooth dropping out ocassionally and the whole amazon in UK thing is annoying although it will be resolved I just used the aux to connect to my cheap TV which had poor sound and it was like night and day this little speaker makes an awesome soundbar so I still would give this five stars thanks for reading .Update... Well we finally got amazon music added to the UK and was it worth the wait , I have to say yes the functionality of this product just keeps getting better , finally a product we don't have to replace every time something better comes out just let it update itself thank you Bose.

Firstly I have very little to complain about with this speaker. As one comes to expect with a Bose product the sound is fantastic, the highs are well defined and not overpowering, the mids are audible and pleasant and the bass is well balanced and provides a clear body to anything one listens too. The app that is required for a lot of the functionality is clear, easy to use and very accessible, being able to programme radio stations onto the buttons is a great feature. Further I have only used Spotify however being able to instantly cast the sound to the speaker is convenient and always seamless.I would definitely recommend this speaker for anyone looking for a high quality device and being able to use an Alexa (or other smart assistant) with the device definitely makes it a competitor to the offerings from Google, Apple or even Sonos, in fact I would argue on sound alone, this speaker is better! Would recommend.

As I have predominantly Sonos equipment at home, naturally this unit is always going to be compared with the these. That said, I do miss my old Bose SoundDock and being able to take my music away with me. So I wanted the flexibility of a unit that would be Bluetooth compatible, hence the purchase.I appreciate that the SoundTouch 10 is the entry unit to the range, and it feels like it audibly. That said, the sound it produces is well defined and pretty rich, but it feels lacking in the mid-range and bass to my Sonos Play:3's. I don't own a Play:1 so I can't really compare like for like in the similar price bracket. The lack of a decent Graphic Equaliser feels a lot like a missed opportunity, as this enabled me to give my music far more punch on the Sonos, so the SoundTouch will always be a little more lacking for my tastes.The app feels more considered than the Sonos version and is fairly easy to navigate - not perfect, but better.The remote control is almost surplus to requirements for me, as I control everything through my phone or tablet ... the only real use I can see for it would be if the phone/tablet was tethered to it, and I didn't want to move to change tracks and/or volume.It's early days yet, and this unit already meets my requirements for portability. I'm sure I'll learn to like it more, but it'll always be comparing it to the richer sound from my Sonos setup. Maybe the SoundTouch 30 would be a fairer comparison, but I wasn't planning on spending that much money.

Fantastic speaker with excellent sound without breaking the bank! A friend brought his to our student house and it's perfect for parties and just playing music while chilling. I bought one as a Christmas gift for my parents so they could connect their Echo Dot to it and play from Spotify and they use it constantly - we just had the kitchen redone so it has pride of place and fills the downstairs of the house brilliantly. Definitely considering getting one for myself as well!The 6 presets are handy too, and it's really really easy to set up/connect to. You do need an internet connection, but it doesn't slow anything down by a noticeable amount. It is also a great size and easy to transport should you need to.100% recommend and worth every penny!
