Welcome. Infoammy I have the Bose portable home speaker and today I'll go over
0:09
a quick unboxing of it and just a little sound test. Though keep it in mind that this
0:14
sound test won't probably be representative of what the actual speaker sounds like considering
0:21
it's going to be making whatever music it's going to be playing. It's going to be picked up by the microphone and then
0:26
you will be listening to it on whatever kind of sound source you will be listening to it
0:32
So there is a couple things that will change, most likely how the actual sound comes out
0:37
but hopefully it still gives some kind of representation of how it sounds
0:42
So anyway, thought it straight open. Actually I don't need a knife
0:48
Thank you, bows. There we just almost lift it up. There is another little pull tub
0:57
There's another little pull tab. So nothing in the box on the top side
1:08
So in here we get a charger
1:22
Now as you can see it does have a charger
1:38
C port which is kind of nice. And here we got a adapter
1:50
Now one of the things that I guess we can do here is you have the adopters
1:56
So for me obviously it's the European one but for instance if you live in a US you will have a different one and all you or all
2:03
all those really needs to do is just swap them out right. So the same charger, just a different little fitting right here, and you just slide it on this, that's all you need to do
2:13
And obviously also if you travel a lot and you want to bring this along, all you really need to do is just get a different fitting
2:21
And you can take the same charger everywhere, just have a couple different ones to swap the plugs for different countries
2:30
And we get a Type C to Type C charger, or charging cable
2:36
It looks like that's all we have in the box, so I'm going to just drop that back in here
2:41
and move over to the speaker. Now it is significantly smaller than I expected actually
2:56
The packaging is obviously way bigger than the speaker. Okay Okay so let see if we have some charge
3:33
Well, that sucks. So apparently the speaker doesn't have any charge in it, which makes this a little bit weird
3:44
Makes me feel like I'm missing something here. This looks like it's a charging base little plate so you can just plop it in somewhere and just have it on a charging plate
3:55
Kind of like, for instance, I don't want to drop that. Kind of for instance like this one was, for the Soundlink Mini, you had a bass plate and you just kind of pop it on here
4:07
But for SoundLeg Mini, it came with the actual speaker. Here it looks like it does not
4:13
So yeah. Anyway, I'm going to quickly plug it in. There we go
4:45
Oh, there we go. Okay, so let's pair it to my phone
5:38
Now for some reason I cannot lower the volume of that which is..
5:45
...which is not very nice. To start setup, download the Bose music app
5:52
Excuse me what? I just want a pair. Ready to connect. There we go
6:00
For some reason I was booting out for quite some time. It still had a... I would say enough battery life
6:07
enough battery life, 29% and most certainly didn't charge that in a span of five minutes
6:12
Or even less so I not sure why I didn want to turn on And from here let just go back to my music And I going to play just a sample here
6:27
So I'm not sure if you see this
6:42
I mean, obviously you can. the little ring that is around here
6:46
does signify the actual volume of the speaker so you can see it increases
6:52
now on my phone it is pretty quiet so that's why it's not as
6:57
as loud as you would expect see one more additional thing I want to see if
7:04
in the settings I can make it control yep sing volume with phone
7:08
And you can see it is making it's making it louder and quieter
7:24
Okay, so let's go back to... Let's go after my silver soul
7:42
Can you take any deeper now? Okay, so just a quick thought on it
8:28
Okay, so just a quick thought on it. The actual sound palette here is really good for obviously the size of this
8:38
It is portable, so that's nice. The reason why I point this out in a way is because I literally unboxed, I don't know, a couple of days ago, a Marshall wireless home Bluetooth speaker
8:52
That's exactly what it says on the box. And one of the things that was missing was the wireless part, even though it genuinely says on the box, wireless
9:01
It needs to be constantly plugged into power source, has no built-in battery. though that one was one bigger
9:08
to sound it actually better but also obviously it had no battery and no
9:15
Alexa support on Alexa Google Assistant support which I believe this one does
9:20
considering we have microphone and so on but you're most likely to set it up
9:24
and the UI here is significantly better now and this tiny little speaker comes at US
9:36
based on the actual Bose website. So we can probably get it for a little bit cheaper somewhere else
9:43
on like Amazon or eBay, stuff like that. So you could probably find a more competitive price
9:48
than what Bose actually offers, which is kind of weird, to be honest
9:53
considering this is the case for majority of the product. If you're looking at their official website
10:00
you can probably find it cheaper somewhere else. But yeah, for the price, I would have to say it's a little bit high on the price
10:09
Considering you have other devices like JVLs, which do have also outstanding sound
10:15
and they do cost, I think, a little bit cheaper. And yeah, so this, I guess you do pay for you brand
10:23
brand right here primarily considering it is almost it's basically 400 US dollars
10:29
for a tiny speaker which obviously because of its size limitations it won't deliver as
10:34
much punchy sound as something like a GBL extreme which I quickly check because I
10:41
think it might be even cheaper I don't know how many of them came out
10:48
stream 2 so yeah um gbl extreme 2
11:04
gbl extreme 2 as an example which let's see if there is 3
11:10
and there is a 3 i did test out gbl extreme 2 and
11:18
I will say that I believe it sounded a little bit, or not a little bit, but a bit better
11:23
Just because of its sheer size, it is going to be a bigger speaker
11:28
It is also water resistant and has basically the same feature. Just the sheer size of it allows it to have a fuller sound, something that this speaker would probably be doing better if it was just a little bit bigger
11:43
The only limitation here is just strictly the size. So yeah, with that being said, considering a Gbiel as an example, extreme, two, there's three and maybe even four, I'm not exactly sure, but I know there is three at least
11:58
But even the third one, costs still less than this, while offering probably more than this
12:06
Though I guess it's probably up to individual person, what they value more
12:12
for instance, style, brand, or strictly sound quality and couple additional features
12:19
So anyway, with that being said, that was the unboxing of the Bose speaker
