I kept mine in the closet for several years. When I set it up again, it wouldn't allow me use it unless I updated the firmware. It wouldn't update immediately, even with a download and a cable, etc. Finally, set it to Recovery Mode and let it alone for 6 days. It finally got the firmware upgrade and now works perfectly.

I received yesterday my Bose Home 500.. Fu***king impressive!!!! the sound is very loud and booming bass!!! I played with high audio resulotion track Just WOW!!!!!
Hey I may sound stupid but is it suitable for connecting to more than PC, TV via Home WiFi? I didn't find clear answer or maybe that should be definitely included :/ could you please verify?
No doubt that Bose make great speakers but ......... I was very disappointed that I could not access my in home NAS (network attached storage) through the Speaker 500 & Soundbar 500. Come on Bose update the firmware on this range to allow for access to our internal LAN's via WiFi or wired connections to enable NAS access. Paid cloud services are great but what about all the personal music libraries that we all have.
I have it since December 2018 and still I'm very happy with it. The only thing which sucks is the room in which it stands because it is very bad for sound quality...
Marshall Stanmore II or Bose 500? Same price with Alexa. I have both and feel the Marshall sounds better at higher volume. Just wanted other thoughts on this. Thanks
I’ve only had mine for a week and not sure I love when volume way up but great at midrange .I’m only plying music off iTunes that I purchased for both my iPod touch and 14pro max but so far I have not seen any album art on screen.Any thoughts why I’m not getting that.THANKS
Hello, I have a bose home speaker 500 and I have a problem with pairing with an iphone. The wife with a Samsung phone connects without a problem, but I have a problem with the connection of the iPhone 12. I'm on the same WiFi network, I've deactivated the WiFi assistant, I've tried restarting everything. But I can't connect with the iPhone, in the bose music app. It always tells me in the app "turn on WiFi and connect to the network" I tried another iPhone and the same thing. Has anyone encountered this?

Hi,i just bought my bose home speaker 500 few months ago.I am having a problem in using it now.I probably have pressed the buttons unintentionally while cleaning my room and i can see a line light coming from left to the right side of the upper screen.I cannot also connect to bluetooth.Can somebody please help me..Thank you very much.
Very Bad experience with this model, purchased it in 07/10/2019 and within a year the sound started cracking, The service center were not operational due to COVID. I repaired the product at a BOSE service center in March 22... & few months back in June the same issue again ... have written numerous mails to Bose but they keep informing to visit the service center again for repair .. what is the guarantee that this issue will not happen again. I think with Bose standard I'm being sold a faulty product .... Never a Bose again nor will recommend this product to anyone
Quick question. With Apple airplay 2 feature on the Bose 500, will I be able to use the multi-room feature with lets say a Bose 500 in my bedroom and a Sonos Beam in the living room to play the same music on all the speakers since both have airplay 2 feature on the speaker.
Assuming it supports AirPlay II - can you not use that to sync with older SoundTouch devices? I have a soundbar 500 and that pairs with my SoundTouch devices no problem.
I want to buy a speaker for listening to music in the backyard, not looking for loud music, but clear sound, I am considering this one and the resolve plus even if I need to keep it plugged into the wall, thoughts?
How you can compare home speaker 500 with two Bose soundlink flex playing in stereo mode? I have two flex and i'm wondering if 500 will perform better than two flex in stereo?
@@manuelsumulong5923 it is certainly able to pair with other speakers. Having said that, what would be a good option for pairing this to another Bose speaker? I was thinking a left and right speaker kind of thing
None of them. I would buy the Anker Soundcore Motion +, Dockin D Fine + or Teufel Rockster Cross depending on how much money you want to spend. (I'd say the Teufel is pretty much the best portable speaker you can buy till now.)
Just ordered 1. I wish it had a rechargeable battery. EDIT: Mine came in, and I'm not impressed. The bass isn't nearly as described in any video I've watched about it, and yes I've used the EQ settings in the app. Some of the speakers Walmart has on display sound better for a 3rd of the price.
I think my Sonos Roam is even worst, the audio pauses with Bluetooth and Airplay, Alexa gets stuck and it’s impossible to play Spotify through Voice command, and, even worst, the battery drains pretty quickly, many times, the device doesn’t even want to turn on, showing a flashing red light in the bottom of the speaker, it gets super hot when it’s charging, and I don’t like its battery life at all, very lousy. I don’t really recommend the Sonos Roam to anyone, it’s the worst wireless speaker you can buy for around 200 dollars, yea, it has a great sound but it’s buggy, the Wifi and Bluetooth connections are pretty bad, and the battery is really lousy. So, don’t buy the Sonos Roam, I’ll choose the UE Wonderboom in stead, is much better than the Sonos Roam no matter if it only has Bluetooth
@@SquidwardIsHandsome Yes you can. If your Smart Tv has bluetooth functionality, this can be paired with it. It does not support Wifi Pairing. So you can rock it with either Bluetooth or Aux.
Evita la soundtouch 20, nor sirve para listening de conversasion ni en peliculas, debido a que el driver patentado que trae no maneja las frecuencias medias si estas proviene de dos canales o mas. Se oye mudo o bajito las conversasciones, en cambio en la home speaker si se oyen claras.

Device keeps getting better. With the recent firmware update you can now group this speaker with standard google home speakers.
Can you pair with the standard alexa speaker?

Just bought one in March 2022. I LOVE it! Great sound. And the price has come down from the almost $400 quoted in this review.
Hi. Do u think it could pump good enough sound for a home theatre room.. or its not enough?
@@quentinseicappie1246 Rather get the Vifa Oslo, no smart gimmicks but a serious and hifi sound and is almost as loud as the boombox without compression...

An update is being added for the Bose 500 at the moment, this update includes chromecast built in.

Still good in 2022? Or do we have a better option?
Bose all the way, and Bose anyday for me...sound quality-wise...... if you know, you know!! :)
Correction - it will pair with Revolve but not Sound Touch speakers.

Would you say the soundtouch 30 is better or the home speaker 500 ?
I have it since December 2018 and still I'm very happy with it.
The only thing which sucks is the room in which it stands because it is very bad for sound quality...
Just bought one. LOVE IT. You complained the cover art is not high def enough for you i think it looks just fine. 👍
Can you have it so that the song is not displayed. That is, can you have the window so that it is blank?
Listening with BOSE HOME 500. Traded my BOSE SOUNDLINK FLEX . GOOD TRADE. Traded my brother who bought the BOSE 500 at a pawn shop for $80.
Do you suggest to buy this one or the Marshall one? (for the audio quality)
can you bluetooth it to a pc?
The bose 500 bass and tri has to be increased from the bose app settings after which only ull get the best results.
How you do this
Can you add it to a group in Google Home and have it play along with the other speakers in the group?
picked this up I totally agree with the screen a let down its good enough but could of been better.
Bose Home Speaker 500 vs Apple HomePod vs Google Home Max pls???
the home max is absolutely terrible, the bass isn't really deep it's boomie, it sounds modded.
Does this have more output than the Bose Revolve plus? Looking for something with a bit more volume. Thanks
Can i Hook this thing in my tv without latency ??
( I'm not into soundbar.)
compairing with H/K citation 300 or 500, which one sounds best?

should be able to, depending if your TV supports using speakers over Bluetooth as the audio source
If your tv did before with an Alexa echo, it will work. Just a bit delayed
Use aux cable

Marshall Stanmore II or Bose 500? Same price with Alexa. I have both and feel the Marshall sounds better at higher volume. Just wanted other thoughts on this. Thanks
Ok! I will buy Marshall
No.
The Marshall is nowhere near this.
Marshall are good at instrumental sound quality .Bose is good on Vocal sound

Unless you like loud rock n roll. Then go with the Marshall
Hey Gymcaddy
Should I buy jbl clip 3 or ue wonderboom? Please help me in making a decision!
None of them.
I would buy the Anker Soundcore Motion +, Dockin D Fine + or Teufel Rockster Cross depending on how much money you want to spend. (I'd say the Teufel is pretty much the best portable speaker you can buy till now.)
How is the sound level compared to the new bose home portable?
Was wondering the exact same thing, did you ever find out?
Just ordered 1. I wish it had a rechargeable battery. EDIT: Mine came in, and I'm not impressed. The bass isn't nearly as described in any video I've watched about it, and yes I've used the EQ settings in the app. Some of the speakers Walmart has on display sound better for a 3rd of the price.
Buy bose home portable its recharble and you can bring to backyard
I prefer this device as it is, I mean, without battery. Batteries get damaged after a few years
How's the bass on this?
Price please dear
So this version is same as model currently on the market this 2024
How cool would it be if they update this with an AMOLED touch screen and better sound.
Can this be used without a power cord?
I just got it thinking that it would be charged and usable without the power cable. So far no dice.
Compatible with Google?.
Can you link the new soundlink ll to the 500 to have both playing same time ?
The Bose makes the other two speakers sound tinny. I’m buying one of these today.
Brought one in March 22. The speaker started giving cracking noise within a month. Really disappointed
I think my Sonos Roam is even worst, the audio pauses with Bluetooth and Airplay, Alexa gets stuck and it’s impossible to play Spotify through Voice command, and, even worst, the battery drains pretty quickly, many times, the device doesn’t even want to turn on, showing a flashing red light in the bottom of the speaker, it gets super hot when it’s charging, and I don’t like its battery life at all, very lousy.
