Although the Bose app doesn't yet support Apple Music, unlike Sonos, you can connect your phone or tablet via bluetooth and play literally anything through this. Not as convenient, but at least the option is there. I also like that it has the aux-in jack so you can just plug your Amazon Echo or other device directly into it, and use it as a hard-wired speaker. Again, something Sonos doesn't offer unless you go for their top-tier speaker.
I have a Bose Soundtouch 30 i bought for £28!!!!!!! it was in a UK store called Argos........ marked at the wrong price.. I have never bought something so fast in my life! .. its an amazing speaker that if i ever sold i would actually make a lot of money on.
Lo único que debo reprocharle a estos de Bose (modelos 10, 20 y 30) es que NO podamos trasmitirle la música de iTunes mediante WIFI, solo bluetooth y eso supone una perdida de fidelidad. por lo demás es una delicia de sonido ya sea a bajo volumen o a alto volumen no perderás fidelidad ni notarás distorsión alguna. NO es lo mejor del mercado pelo los mejores que este son tambien extremadamente costosos como el caso de Sonos que si acepta cualquier transmisión de sonido vía WIFI pero que cuesta el doble
Talking about amazon music, I’ve been having the exact same error on the app for the past 2 years... and I live in Mexico! (And if you are wondering, Amazon music is available in the country)
I purchased a SONOS Play 5 today, it's going back tomorrow, no airplay or Bluetooth support, have to use the SONOS App or a wire, such a crap idea for a £430 speaker.
+Matthew Kennedy that is a frustrating part of using SONOS, no Bluetooth! But if you have multiple speakers it can make a good multi room sound system!
for India you get only a two pin power cable ???? what happens when there is power fluctuation??? does it have a surge protector???? also how long is the warranty period???
Do not buy this. Me and 3 friends all bought this about 18 months ago. Since then not one of us has been problem free. 2 of them had to have the unit returned and replaced and mine has just bricked while updating - it is completely broken and is past the warranty date. I am not alone in this - the updates regularly screw up the unit. Sounds great, but will not last.
Bose earphones BLEW UP in my ears! Recently, the earphone exploded in my right ear while I was asleep and it caused an immense amount of throbbing pain along with the pressure. Drumming in the ears persisted for several minutes and I also went deaf for a few moments. I was stunned and found out that it was the battery that exploded. Contacted Bose straight away and of course they told me to wait. Well, guess what. The wait lasted for a month. Bose Hong Kong (I bought the earphones in Hong Kong and am still living in Hong Kong.) never had the intention to offer any compensation. I was outraged that Bose actually had the audacity to demand that I return the earphones, charging case and power cable. Not only do Bose sell defective products, they concealed the safety issues that could endanger their customers. Honestly, stay away from Bose if you still want functional ears..That's all I could say.Bose earphones blew up while I was asleep!

@@agtech7782 thanks, I've decided to get a Sonos Play 5 because it's a few years newer, it looks like Bose are focused on the Home Speaker range and not SoundTouch any more!?
When it comes sound which one is better? Companion 50, acoustimass 5, virtually invisible 300, soundtouch 20, and wave. they cost almost the same and I'm really confused which one to buy. Please help.
I had problems with my soundspeakers. it does connect to my device, but will not play music, even though music is playing on my iphone. I resetted the bluetooth list and all, but it does not function. does anyone know how to handle this?
I bought one and I was oh so happy, until it asked me to update the firmware. It has been 2 days and still updating. I want to shut it off and shoot it down!
The Bose Soundtouch 20 and up is stereo with them having 2 speakers into each of them. The Bose Soundtouch 10 is mono with them only having 1 speaker. But if you bought 2 of the Bose Soundtouch 10 for say the living room there's a setting to make them stereo as well...
Bose sucks now. The Sounddock 10 sounded a lot better and had better bass and the build quality was metal and very top notch. I had bought a Bluetooth adaptor for that. They are using cheaper materials now and giving less playback options by having less inputs. Whenever you are directly connected by wire, you get better audio. The Bluetooth is cool, but it's cool to have both.
The reviewer went too soft on the horrific initial setup. Horrific product. Don't buy unless you plan to spend at least 20 minutes on initial setup and connectivity before EVERY time you want to use it. Bose network and speakers are designed to disconnect all the time. The video sync feature is a networking disaster; one never knows when people on conference calls will hear echo.
Sound quality is terrible. It is a plastic box, it can only sound like a plastic box. I nearly bought one of these but when I heard it I just walked out the shop. So fucking angry. Also, I have not found one bad review of audio equipment on the whole of UA-cam......a little bit strange.

I like my bose sound touch 20. I use it for my alexa and my phone.
Thank you for the video. I followed all the steps to set up and unit is working perfectly now. Thank you.
An excellent well structured review! If only more UA-cam videos were this good!
I have a Bose Soundtouch 30 i bought for £28!!!!!!! it was in a UK store called Argos........ marked at the wrong price.. I have never bought something so fast in my life! .. its an amazing speaker that if i ever sold i would actually make a lot of money on.
Allen plz link me
soft clearity and nice bass,
I WOULD CRY TO HAVE BOSE IN MY NEW HOME! GOD BLESS MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS.
I love the Bose SoundTouch 30, which I assume is very similar

I connected Alexa to my soundtouch 20 and it sounds far better than any other speaker out there!
Nice review. Listened in store and it's exactly how you described it.
does it sound better in terms of high frequencies? my Soundtouch 10 sounds less in treble while my Soundtouch 30 has full audio spectrum.
Sir how to connect this speaker to my Ps4 or how to connect this speaker to tv?.what is the best way to connect in ps4 or tv?.
thanks for that vid mate it helped a lot because I want to get one :)

Does it work with deezer?
for India you get only a two pin power cable ???? what happens when there is power fluctuation??? does it have a surge protector???? also how long is the warranty period???
Good clear review.
They have added Apple Music support now
Nice work mate

I don't think you can, but don't quote me on that
Can i connect a lcd tv to bose sound touch 20 serious 2 wireless and how?

Why not post this on an earphones review? It’s irrelevant.
Lol
Wow what an joke
Is this still a good purchase in 2020? Is there a new model due?
Still a good purchase - the series III is out now which is a newer version

I haven’t tried them all so I couldn’t say I’m afraid!
AGTech.. ok.. then between companion 50 and soundtouch 20 which one is having better sound quality??
Can this connect to vizio smart tv?
I had problems with my soundspeakers. it does connect to my device, but will not play music, even though music is playing on my iphone. I resetted the bluetooth list and all, but it does not function. does anyone know how to handle this?
I cant find a complete review abt this speaker does it always have to be plugged in or can i charge it & take it outdoors
Hi Jay, it is not portable. There is no built in battery.
I bought one and I was oh so happy, until it asked me to update the firmware. It has been 2 days and still updating. I want to shut it off and shoot it down!
+KegPatcha that's super odd! I'd contact Bose!
Great review. What was the first song you played in this video. It's hard to tell but it looks like it says Bangkok
dephiter7728 bangduck - afrojack great song
You can play your phone through the Bluetooth too the speaker you can then play what ever you want
Is this speaker good for a family bbq

Use coal instead. The speaker doesnt burn well enough.
@@AniruddhJain111 ..lol.. too funny!
does anyone know if you can listen on UA-cam through soundtouch 20??
If you pair to the speaker with your phone via Bluetooth you can
is it mono or stereo speaker????
Stereo
The Bose Soundtouch 20 and up is stereo with them having 2 speakers into each of them. The Bose Soundtouch 10 is mono with them only having 1 speaker. But if you bought 2 of the Bose Soundtouch 10 for say the living room there's a setting to make them stereo as well...
Can I use this speeker in my car?
If your car doesn’t have speakers and you have a regular outlet to plug into, yes.
Nice new watermark
YES ,BOSE STILL BLOWS !!!!
can connect with led tv?
Apple music is trash anyway. Get Spotify ffs,. Bose just favours the intelligent who get Spotify premium.
yeah lol
Apple doesn't stream in high enough quality for Bose

Anthony Smith the Soundtouch 30 is great
Agreed. The older docks were much better.
Does the Bluetooth adapter work easily? How does it work?
Its a plastic box.

+matt69savage depends what sound you like, Bose products will never have a neutral sound signature, I personally prefer a fuller, bassier sound!
Bose is never a bad sounding speaker in my opinion and others too.
