A smart speaker may help you manage your time and enjoy your music more. Here’s a guide and review to the Bose Home Speaker 500 for you.
In a world where refrigerators may order milk, phones can recognize faces, and watches may track sleep patterns, home speakers should be able to do considerably more than simply play music. Everything from automobiles and vacuum cleaners to doorbells and thermostats is now smart; therefore, so should your speakers. Bose has three speakers and two soundbars available on the market that are smart. They provide all of the latest features that make smart speakers so intelligent, in addition to a superior listening experience.
Smart speakers, on the other hand, can’t just be smart—they have to be thoughtful as well. The following buying guide will assist you in selecting the finest smart home speaker based on your requirements and lifestyle.
Audio Quality
Before you buy a sound system, think about how important sound quality is to you. The Bose Home Speaker 500 delivers wall-to-wall stereo sound that’s designed to fill any space, whether you’re known for hosting friends or family dinners. Inside the Bose Home Speaker 500, two custom speakers facing in opposite directions reflect the sound off your walls. What’s the result? An extremely wide stereo sound stage that is suited to any scenario.
The Bose Home Speaker 300 and the Bose Portable Smart Speaker are two other options. Both have 360 degrees of incredible Bose sound that radiates clear sound in all directions, and they’re ideal for bass heads since they provide room-shaking bass that will wow.
Portability
Do you have barbeques or gatherings on your patio? Do you enjoy going to the beach? Perhaps you spend as much time at home as you do on the road? The Bose Portable Smart Speaker is a portable smart speaker that can travel with you wherever you go. It’s equipped with Bose’s proprietary noise-cancelling technology to ensure a crisp, clear sound. The freedom of a Bluetooth speaker and the power of a smart speaker are combined in one device, which is called the Omni-directional. Grab the speaker’s handle and go wherever your day takes you—from room to room or off into the great unknown—with just a touch.
When the Bose Portable Smart Speaker is linked to Wi-Fi®, you may use its smart capabilities whenever your home wireless network connection is good. When there is no Wi-Fi connection, the speaker functions like any other wireless Bluetooth speaker, making it ideal for people who live their lives on the go.
The Bose Portable Smart Speaker is both durable and water-resistant, with up to 12 hours of battery life, so you don’t have to worry about the clock or hunting for a power source. You won’t have to worry about spilt drinks or rain clouds, since the Bose Portable Smart Speaker has a robust and waterproof design that will survive.
Size
Another thing to think about is the size of the room. Do you have a big home? A spacious area demands a powerful sound. The Bose Home Speaker 500 is where it’s at for those with wide homes. Are you limited on space? Instead, the Bose Home Speaker 300 is a smaller speaker. With a diameter of just over 15 centimetres, this little speaker produces robust audio, making it ideal for smaller rooms or spaces. The smart capabilities of both smart speakers are identical, so you may pick whichever one is the most suitable size for your area.
Control
Last but not least, control. When looking for the finest smart home speaker, the last thing you should think about is how you will use it. You can just sing a song or ask what the weather is like with built-in voice assistants, which are simply one voice command away from listening to your favourite music or checking the forecast. During the product’s setup, you may select which voice assistant you’re most comfortable with. Even if your house is noisy, don’t worry. Bose smart speakers feature custom microphones that can hear your voice even in the midst of a crowd. For Apple users, AirPlay 2 connects iOS functions effortlessly.

The Bose Home Speaker 500 is the best smart home speaker for you if you’re a visual person. It includes an LCD display that shows you what’s playing, as well as a clock when nothing is playing.
You can also use the Bose Music app to operate your Bose smart speaker from a distance with your smartphone, which is a great deal of convenience. When you don’t, Bose’s smart speakers have a plethora of buttons on top of the speakers. Controls allow you to play, pause or skip tracks, and turn the volume up or down as needed. The Bose Smart Speaker 500 and Bose Home Speaker 300 have six programmable presets as well, allowing you to quickly access your favourite stations.

I am keen on the BOSE SMART SPEAKER 500. I just need to know if I can use Google Assistant to do searching, controls, etc. If the list of DO’s is too long, then you can tell me what it CAN’T do.
Hi there, Malaysia does not support Alexa and Google Assistant Services as mentioned in the article.
