Bose S1 Professional Multi-Position Bluetooth PA System with Battery

I love it. The sound is awesome. Waiting for my microphone. I have a question.? I plug in mic and play music off phone, this allows me to be able to sing along with the music. Correct. Thanks so much!!

Stupid thing didn’t want to connect Bluetooth and when it did there was a lot of static in the background

Lo tengo ya casi por un año, es fantástico, practico, y además da un sonido profesional, especial para reuniones en casa

It the best Bluetooth speaker I ever bought
And system

very clear sound and excellent equipment, I can recommend it

I bought two of those for my daughter’s birthday party and my guest and I love the sound.

Received thru home delivery 2 days ago and can't stop using it...it is really a fantastic speaker.

I actually don’t have this speaker, however the American Legion post I am a member of has one they use everyday! Sound quality is phenomenal as is usual with Bose products! I also have a variety of Bose speakers throughout my house! Phenomenal! Those of you posting 1, 2 and 3 star ratings (which aren’t many), better get your ears checked by a doctor!

Wow amazing power and quality from the speaker. Limitless.

What I like is this is a basic system with a battery you can take anywhere and setup for an instrument and vocals.
I would not say it works well on the ground as advertised. Up at ear level it operates a ton better and there are a number of stands that work with it.
The canned guitar setting is going to be dependent on the your pickup choice. Most of my acoustics sounded better without that setting.
The mic setting worked well with a number of mics I had here.
All in all a pretty nice basic system.

I obsess over the details and the quality of something. It's easy to fall in love with this speaker. The power is great and so many people comment that they can't believe the music that radiates from its size. Buy one of these and you won't regret it! I dare someone to find something that correlates with the size and quality. Bose you nailed this one.

Bose is still making a high quality speaker!! God BLESS them! please continue Bose! Please continue!!

I bought these two weeks ago to get rid of some old tower speakers, I was/am blown away with how amazing and crystal clear these speakers are. I bought two and use the easy to use app to turn them on stereo mode and bamm these suckers pump, I haven't even put them to full strength yet they are that loud ! For such small speakers in size they surpassed any expectations I had. Summer time at the cottage will be great this season with these bad boys !!!

I Dj and have active speakers but have added this to my range and can leave home without it! the only thing that makes me mark down by 1 star is that the battery lasts for about 4 hours rather than the advertised 11...not sure if something is wrong with mine specifically but other than that love it!

I don't have much time with the product but I'm happy because I like how it sounds

Two channels ok, however can not be panned. Is there going to be an up grade featuring two channels panning possibility? Thus enabling stereo sound delivered from one unit?
No need be using two units when one's got the BOSE capability. Except eliminating all stereo effect options.

Bought S1 pro today and the sound and built quality is superb. A +++

I bought this before I went off to college and I have to say this speaker is fantastic. I use it every single night. You know its a good speaker when you can feel the bass through the floor. Great in all ranges of music. Not too boomy. I was between this and the best portable JBL speaker and this for a couple hundred more was the best choice.

Unbelievable sound for such light weight box. Magical. The battery life is also good

I have two of these and they make our lives so much easier bringing music to smaller performances. No wires, no power needed…Awesome! I advise getting the backpack as well!

I’m not a musician in any way however I love listening to music while on the go. This speaker delivers. Small enough to be carried everywhere and produces fantastic sound for its size. Definitely purchasing a second one to hear them in stereo mode.

Ordered this on 12-2-19 received 12-6-19 and returning 12-9-19. 99.99% of the reason I made this purchase was for the portability and Bluetooth capabilities. Bluetooth option has no adjustment options and the base is horrible and no way of adjusting. I have other Bose products that I have owned for years and love them. This particular unit does not match their quality. I’m sure as a PA it’s perfect, but if you’re wanting for Bluetooth option I don’t recommend.

I received this today and I have been playing all genres of music for the past five hours straight and everything sounds amazing. It was super easy to connect, and it is super easy to control. I bought it for use as a portable Bluetooth speaker, but the microphone option has me thinking I’ll be using it for music and as a PA for my daughters’ graduation parties next spring. I’m going to buy a second one and pair them up.

Should've bought this one first, as its the best. Bose means quality, concise perfection.

I bought mine almost a year ago and I was blown away! I host karaoke shows and solo acoustic shows with it everywhere, just one tiny speaker. Everyone looks for other speakers in the room, and are telling me they have to get one once they see I'm only using one speaker. I have a huge JBL SR system with Crown Macro Tech 5000i amp. The old system was killing my back setting it up night after night. Huge difference if set up but with this Bose I cannot tell you the positive feedback given. I still use it at home with my laptop and phone and I replaced it with a Bose F1. I am a Nashville recording artist with 8 world top 10 hit songs and I am a gear head, I love great gear. This speaker is flat out AMAZING for it's size! 1) It is battery powered and electric. 2) ultra light weight, and long battery life. 50% volume is VERY loud and last 5 to 7 hours or more. 3) the reverb on both guitar and mic are beautiful sounding. It has an auto EQ switch for mic and guitar for perfect sound. While doing a few karaoke shows with my now Bose F1 the business did not have wifi and being a tin roof I couldn't tether my phone to my laptop. I had this bose in my car. I bluetooth her song through this speaker while she sang through the F! and it was perfect and so crisp and clear and everyone was happy.

I have two of these. I really like them. Perfect for my use outdoors at speaking events with 300 people. Small and portable with clean sound. Unfortunately, the batteries do not stay charged. This is a reported problem and I have not yet seen a fix. It takes a day (as in 24 hours) to charge. Batteries will discharge in about two days if left unplugged. This means it takes more planning around timing to use when on the road than it should. I intended to expand to four speakers but the cost and battery drainage problem pretty much makes these speakers too much of a hassle financially and logistically. If there wasn't a battery discharge problem the cost would be worth it.

Not much of a singer but like to think I am one. With the S1 Pro, it is a game changer and no matter which level, you feel good singing.

Man this thing rocks... used it while camping to play music and hooked it up to the projector for movie night. Performed extremely well, sounds like a whole surround sound system all by itself. The line array mixed in with point source is incredible..every product I have from you guys blows me away.

I bought this as on the paper was the perfect busking amp but returned it after a good test. Is a decent little speaker but to my ears the sound is just not good enough. Papery and metallic top end, middle range lacking body and weight, bass with no impact whatsoever. Comparing with others it lacked volume, power, body and the sound was flat and shrill. Sorry but for me this amp is way overpriced and overhyped.

I bought this like a year ago, omg it is great, and excellent for karaoke as well, not that big and easy to transport anywhere we like, love Bose products.

Got this a couple of months ago and now my mixer and QSCs are collecting dust.
Excellent sound for Happy hr Patio or small bar restaurant type gigs. Love the battery life as well. Why plug in when you don't have to, its just one less cord to run right. I use this with a Acoustic duo for Patio gigs every week and could not be happier with the performance. My percussionist got so jealous of my setup times he just bought one too.

Love the speaker and the sound it produce but only thing that is bad about it is the lack of bass. Picks up mids and highs fine but does horrible with low bass.

Exactly what I thought I was gettin, so powerful and has a battery! Wicked sound

I bought the system yesterday. Amazing quality of sound.

Purchased the S1 Pro system. It has great sound and it is very portable. But the battery will drian if left without use within around five days. Returned mine to Bose store. Once they have it corrected I will happily buy it again.

Please put USB Poert
Recorded Music on USB Stick can be played

The sound quality of this week or will blow your mind

Its realy realy Good sound quality, Great futures, I love this smaller but powerfulp Sound, indoor & outdoor Too good & great sound quality

I've had 3 brand new units pass through my hands over the last week and a half and 2 of the 3 units have had bad batteries. I spent many hours and many phone calls with BOSE and both times we determined that I had faulty batteries. I hope it was just a bad batch but only time will tell.

I bought the S1 pro online having never actually heard the thing. There were so many great reviews that I was confident that it couldn’t be to bad. I hire speakers as a side business (used to to it full time but have scaled back) and most punters these days just want something to play music from their phone for a house party. I thought that th S1 will save me having to bundle cables and a mixer and trying to teach the user how to connect and use it all. The S1 arrived yesterday’s and those dreams were shattered. To start with, I should mention the speaker sounds decent for program with no percussion or bass especially considering the size. That being said, as soon as any kind of bass is added to the program, the sound great degrades significantly even at low volumes. The $100 bookshelf speakers hanging on the wall in my house sound significantly better and are better able to reproduce the bass content. First thought? I can’t hire these out as party speakers, there isn’t nearly enough volume and no bass. Second thought? Maybe I could couple them with a small sub! Good idea but! Unfortunately Bose have hamstrung the unit by not including a low cut (high pass) facility. A button would be great. A dial (or two) would be perfect. As is there is no way to increase output by connecting a sub, yes the sub will provide the base that was missing, but without being able to implement a low cut on the S1 you will still have clipping at low volumes meaning that it can’t see a way to get any real volume out of this thing without adding a mixer, crossover, subwoofer, and cables (which defeats the whole purpose unless.... I can find a sub with Bluetooth audio and built in crossover). Bose have put a lot of thought into their orientation sensors, this is fantastic and all but really, I am happy to select my position using a switch. If they had have taken that time and cost and provided a low cut (preferably with variable attenuation and frequency) then the speaker would become much more useful. And as a bonus, Bose would sell more subs.

Bose: adding a low cut facility to the S1 would make an average speaker great....also consider making a sub with bluetooth audio and a pole mount. You would sell lots.

We were comparing this Bose speaker to other speakers for a poolside speaker. Here is what I noticed compared to other systems:

Although this is a Portable PA system, what sets it apart from other speakers of the same class is the high quality of sound even at high volumes. We tried other boombox style speakers and we were so much more impressed with the Bose S1. Having the ability to use AC power, or it's own battery power is a big plus. It makes the uses of the setup so versatile. A friend brought over their guitar, and they were blown away by the quality of sound from the custom controls on the side of the speaker. This really is a multi-use setup that has been well crafted.

Shifting the speaker onto its side also allows for the speaker to switch speaker projection internally which makes the sounds correct whether vertical or horizontal laying positions.

We found that the battery life was closer to 7-8 hours on HIGH volume and 12 hours on low volumes in our tests. This is perfect for pool parties in the backyard, BBQs, and other events. This is an amazing speaker that costs less than a dedicated outdoor speaker setup, but has better sound quality and is portable which is so handy. We are big fans of the S1. Purchasing it for such uses as described above will not disappoint you. The Bluetooth range is also quite good. We even had the phone accidentally left in a pocket walk away into the house a few times without losing signal. Very impressive, Bose!

I own around 6 products from Bose. Each system sound's different for the same song. Main difference I noticed is the bass sound how deep each speaker system goes. Our mind always like deep bass and loud. This creates or transfers the bass vibration from our home to neighbors which you cannot even realize and still you will feel like to increase the volume, which shows bose is good for you but bad for our neighbors (in conventional speakers you will know it is loud and you will realize it could disturb neighbors, but not on bose). However, at the end you cannot replace bose with anything else, even you cannot replace the particular bose system you used to play songs with most of the other bose products. You will just customize yourself for the particular product.

Background. Professional Musician. Singer / Guitar with Backing Tracks. I own two L1 Type IIs B2 Subs and a couple B1s, a compact and now an S1 Pro. I am playing for a wedding this summer in San Diego and need to supply music on the beach where the ceremony will be so I thought the S1 would be perfect for that...After I opened it up and charged it I set it up to see how my mic SMBeta58 and one of my travel guitars (Journey Overhead) would sound through it....OMG. How is it even possible it sounds this good??? I can't comprehend how something so small can sound so good? Backing Tracks sound amazing, Guitar very cool and vocals really full.... Its actually mind boggling. My wife was out swimming and I brought this system out and play a set for her and you know the most amazing thing of all about the S1.....it sounds great outside, just like all my other Bose gear. It creates its own acoustic environment. I am sure people trying to use this for something it was not intended for would not share my experience but I tell you what I have done some smaller shows with this and people are completely blown away. I now have a 100% completely wireless solution and setup with wireless mic, guitar bluetooth to the speaker and battery powered. I will be getting one more I love it that much.

I bought this to use on out float for our 40th high school reunion. It worked great. Everyone on the 32' float and the sidewalks were jamming through the entire parade route and then for several hours afterwards while we kicked back and enjoyed good food and adult beverages. I'll get a second one too.

Just got my 2nd S1 today. I did everything as instructed, Bose Connect app can not find the speakers. I turned them off and on as instructed, even reinstall the app, still does not pair. It does play one at a time though. What a disappointment.

This is one killer Bluetooth speaker. Bose never fails, and neither does worldwide stereo. Superfast delivery!

Use the speaker in my room, backyard in my car and at the beach ( FIRE EMOJI ). Battery life was not an issue. sound is amazing especially vocals, trumpet, piano AND guitar. If you love Banda or mariachi this Bose S1 pro is the speaker to get. Can't wait to get a second speak and a pair of stands.

SPEAKER IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! BOSE IS THE BEST OUT THERE!!

i am just a huge fan, don't have a lot of money but my more precious possessions are a QC35 and a Soundsport, both great. My cousin just bought one of this and the sound is so good that i just started dancing immediately, we where in a large backyard and still the music reach everywhere i was really impress, the best besides the sound quality is how looks this speaker, i am just starting a savings account now with the objective of getting one for sure, i am not an expert just a regular guy who likes listen some music and watch some movies all in the best quality possible and BOSE is one of the best providing that. Thanks

There is nothing negative about this speaker . I love it
