The exceptional Bose® Portable Home Speaker, is an ultra-versatile, compact speaker that combines the convenience of battery power, the simplicity of Bluetooth®, and the ease of voice control in a modern new design.  It delivers improved 360-degree sound, deeper bass than any other portable smart speaker.  Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled the Bose proprietary voice pick-up system works with the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, both built-in, to access playlists, podcasts, news, weather, smart home devices, and more.  Choose AirPlay 2 to play music from Apple devices, or Spotify Connect to listen directly from the Spotify app.

There are buttons on top for basic functionality, including Bose’s proprietary mic-off feature — which cuts power to the microphones, eliminating any possibility you can be listened to or recorded — along with power, volume, play/pause and skip tracks, wake or dismiss virtual assistants, and Bluetooth source.

The new Bose Portable is water-resistant with an IPX4 rating to survive spills, splashes, and rain; and rugged enough to withstand drops, knocks, and hits.  It comes with an integrated handle for convenience, and can charge through standard USB-C, or a charging cradle.

The Home Speaker 300 is part of a new Bose family of smart speakers. It creates exceptional room-rocking bass and 360° lifelike sound in a compact size. It allows you to experience the freedom to control music your way by tapping the top presets to play, pause, or skip tracks, or to enjoy a personalized experience from the Bose Music app. With Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, and Apple AirPlay 2 compatibility, Home Speaker 300 wirelessly streams whatever you want, however you want. It can browse integrated music services, like Spotify®, Amazon Music, and Apple Music, or play anything from your phone or tablet. The newest Home Speaker 300 sleek and modern design are available in Triple Black or Luxe Silver.

Both speakers work brilliantly alone or together as a multi-room system.  Each delivers superior audio performance for their size, and proprietary voice pick-up using mic technology developed for Bose military, aviation, and consumer headphones.
