" ... What I don't like is that, after only 8 months, the battery no longer charges properly and I'll have to contact Bose directly (via phone) to get it serviced. ... "
" ... It is annoying when products lose a charge when they are not in use. ... Next when I do charge it, there is about a 50/50 chance the charger will do its job on the first few tries. ... "
" ... This wireless speaker worked fine for about a week until it just stopped charging. ... "
" ... One of them kept acting like it was constantly being put on and taken off the charger, making the connect and disconnect sound before failing entirely. ... The other one sometimes is completely dead after removing it from the charger, and sometimes seems to work for a bit. ... "
" ... Can only charge if I delicately position cord and port in weird posture to make contact. ... "
" ... After two months it wouldn't hold a charge anymore, but it would work if plugged in. ... Two months after that it won't charge or work at all even if plugged in. ... "
" ... This will not charge and I have contacted seller and no response! ... "

" ... So so range in our old house (newer houses may have better range). ... "
" ... Bought two more for family members! ... "
" ... It can be carried so easily to different locations when moving about the house. ... "
" ... It's perfect for my apartment. ... "
" ... more for a couple listening to music in the living room or bedroom. ... "
" ... This is our second Bose product and each one gets better, The speaker is used in a college dorm room and it fills the space with a great sound. ... "
" ... For a bedroom or office, it's great. ... "
" ... Still, this speaker is far superior to the Echo built-in speaker, so I would use it on the main level of my house exclusively. ... I took this speaker with me on a family vacation, and the house we rented was full of Sonos speakers (mostly Play:3s), and my mother-in-law commented that the Bose actually sounded more full than the Sonos, despite the fact that it was competing with about three of those speakers. ...

" ... Worked great for about 6 months, then started shutting off randomly and not playing music even though BT connection is active and working with full battery charge. ... I hope that doesn't start failing too in a couple months. ... "
" ... Now to the issues, this speaker was all I expected for the first couple months, then I noticed some issues. ... "
" ... Maybe just a streak of bad luck. ... It's electronic and used, so anything could have happened. ... "
" ... I'm gentle with equipment and there was no reason for it to fail after 2 months. ... "
" ... Now roughly 4 months later the product does not work at all and will not turn on. ... "
" ... I've owned two of these so far, and both failed after about a year and a half. ... One of them kept acting like it was constantly being put on and taken off the charger, making the connect and disconnect sound before failing entirely. ... "
" ... now product almost useless. ... "
" ... After two months it wouldn't hold a charge anymore, but it would work if plugged in. ... Two months after that it won't charge or work at all even if plugged in. ... "
