Bose Home Speaker 300 vs KEF LS50 Wireless II

google nest audio, bose home speaker series. blueetooth on these stays on and in pairing mode forever.

The connection test now included in the app shows the connection dwindling from up to 60 down to .1 in less than a minute ! The speaker cannot sustain a connection for more than few minutes. The music will stutter, switch tracks or stop completely. They claim they have dealt with the Spotify connection issue in the latest update

Bose speakers have been most effective in my experience for bedtime listening ,they have the best tuning in terms of dynamic bass adjustment for lower volumes and sound is quite full. bose speakers are generally overpriced ,connect to each other well and do have some 360 degree offerings also like revolve, revolve plus, portable home speaker and home speaker 300. or the stereo ones like soundtouch 20, home speaker 500. wouldnt really recommend any jbl, anker or sony(tribit has decent low volume performance) for your application

From general consensus the 2-EX drastically improve the bass, plus the benefits of RAAL tweeters - and so further down the rabbit hole I go...

As far as the sound quality, I don't feel it lives up to the price point of this speaker, especially since the Sonos One Gen 2 I bought on sale was significantly cheaper than the Bose Home 300. To my ears the Sonos One Gen 2 sounds better. However, I'm not a sound quality snob, I wanted something more fully featured with aux input as an option, but the lack of reminders makes this speaker not very useful for me, as I would need to supplement it with a Dot or similar Echo device anyways.

Every bit of gear was better than what I already had. The mids where more luscious, the treble more sparkling and the base filled the room better than everything else. Everything sOuNdEd As iF i WaS tHeRe!

Grouping works only sometimes, usually in the beginning and then speakers drop out even though I have great wifi signal on clear channel and router set according to Bose instructions. Changing volume in the app causes speakers to play at random volumes jumping constantly.

They'Re great aren't that comparable to wireless twos, it's sort of like comparing a toyota to a porsche. Yes they're, both cars and perform the same ...

Bottom line, you can find the same quality, or better, with better usability for about the same price. I will not be adding any more bose products to my sound system and if I ever win another, I'll sell it.

The deal is at Woot which is like Amazon's deal site. I checked around and saw this was basically the best current deal.

which is not why I bought it. If you want a great sounding bluetooth speaker, this will do. If you're looking for a "smart" speaker, look elsewhere

I could not find my old lg g7 phone that i use as a dedicated remote for all my smart devices. The caf connect app is installed on that phone and work...

Just another annoyance. I thought this would be good for ease of use but the Bose software let me down on this product.

The red indicates the main radiation pattern area, and what i really like about the speaker is that it, i would say it's it's a bit wider than uh than...

This is the first one once I set up the volume I don’t have to wake Up in the middle of the night because the sound becomes too loud. This speaker also does not give me that bad vibe like resonating in my chest. That being said you have to pass the hurdle of being familiar with the accompanying app and the initial set up. C’mon Bose you should do better! Once the app recognizes the device is a home run

Getting them online went quickly, and the new KEF app is world's better than the two apps they put out for the LS50 wireless first gen model. However, the download of current firmware caused a system freeze, and multiple reboots of my phone and power cycling of the speakers were required to get it going. I used Spotify connect and the Spotify app found the speakers immediately and music was had! So, first thing is that any volume control of these speakers is software based. There are buttons on top of the primary speaker and you can use your phone but there is no way to program an "initial volume" so if your phone is at max volume when you connect to the speakers you will get a full blast of sound that cannot be good for your ears or the speakers
