Immersive sound good for portable AV

I have this unit in my living room and it fills the whole room and kitchen with sound. This device simply produces excellent low and high frequencies. Everyone has always been surprised that the sound comes from this contraption. It's really amazing and worth the money. I originally bought a SoundTouch 10 but after using it I wanted more and also decided on 20. Now I'm thinking about getting 30 and filling my entire home with the audio of my choice. Also, the preset keys are great! We set upโ€ฆ

  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Damaged

That sounds good; Software: BAD!

I bought the Soundtouch 20 to listen to internet radio and music on my NAS. After the initial setup, which was difficult because the Soundtouch *requires* a DLNA server, file sharing alone wasn't enough, everything worked fine. Fast forward a month or two and Bose has replaced its internet radio service with TuneIn. TuneIn doesn't have half the stations that were previously available, has poorer sound quality, and plays ads before "tuning in" which Internet Radio didn't. To top it off, Boseโ€ฆ

Such a headache. Don't buy these speakers.

The sound quality is good considering the size of the speakers. Nightmares is a horribly bad connection and a terrible app. Connectivity: 90% of the time I try to use the system I have to spend 5-15 minutes fiddling with it and trying to figure out why it's not working today. I usually complete the setup process for each speaker. The problem isn't with my WiFi; All other things in the house are 100% fine. And there is also an application. Wow. So expressionless. Very few features, slow andโ€ฆ

  • Everything is fine!

Great system no connection issues

I've only had it a day so hopefully nothing happens in the future to change my mind but I'll update if it does. First, I almost gave up on this purchase due to all the negative feedback about the Wi-Fi connection; however, it was painless easy for me. Not sure if they've updated their app or hardware as most of the negative reviews are old, but don't let that stop you if you have a decent Wi-Fi setup. I installed Google Grid at home so I see full stripes everywhere. Alexa commands stink soโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Hard to tell

We bought a Bose ST20 Series II internet radio a few years ago and we love it. This year I decided to order one as a birthday present for my sister-in-law who loves our internet radio versus her who uses an iPad to listen to her favorite internet radio stations. Before purchasing we did a web review search and read consumer reports, the only one that has generally proved consistently good was Bose. Don't get me wrong other brands are good but they were battery powered and portable, streamedโ€ฆ

Good sound and bass

UPDATE October 20, 2017 I now have 2 SoundTouch 30, 8 SoundTouch 20, 1 pair of SoundTouch 10 and a SoundTouch 130 home theater system. I bought the first one on July 28, 2016. 30 and 20 are high quality MONO speakers (it's absurd that 20 and 30 still can't be turned into stereo pairs). As a stand alone speaker I would give 30 and 20 5 stars and 10 2 stars. This update affects the SoundTouch software. After using it for over a year and updating with every new update, I am very disappointed. Theโ€ฆ

If you are looking to buy them I would recommend buying 20 Series 3

I have all three devices (10 series, 20 series 3 and 30 series 3) and here are my impressions. If you're looking to buy these, I'd recommend getting the 20 Series 3. There's nothing wrong with the other two models - the 20 is simply the best value for money in my opinion. The 10 doesn't have an LCD on the front, is big enough for large rooms, and doesn't have a network port. 30 is a bit louder and more than 20, but I find 20 powerful enough to handle any space in the room. Maybe 30 outside orโ€ฆ
