According to our WiFi speaker expert
You can connect the speaker to the Bose smart multi-room system and stream music in the entire house.
The compact design allows you to place the speaker in any desired location.
Thanks to SimpleSync, you can connect the WiFi speaker to a Bose Bluetooth speaker to create a stereo set or multi-room setup.
Only the connection to the speaker is wireless, the speakers themselves must be connected to the power socket.
With the Bose Home Speaker 500, you can complete your Bose sound setup. Connect the speaker to the power grid and place the speaker above sitting height in the corner of your room or connect the speaker to a soundbar and subwoofer. That way, you can listen to surround sound. You connect to other speakers wirelessly via WiFi. Thanks to the multi-room function, you can connect the speaker to Bose Home speakers in multiple spaces. That way, you can listen to the same or a different song in every room. You control the speaker via the Bose Music app on your smartphone or tablet or via the control buttons on the speaker.

After having played with this speaker daily for 2 weeks, I noticed that it gives a super sound, the beautiful compact size also fits perfectly with my interior. After a long puzzling, I finally installed the wifi on it. Sometimes it works very well but every now and then the speaker disconnects from the app, restarting with the app and connecting the speaker is the solution, the reason is unknown to me because both the phone and speaker fall within my WiFi signal, Bluetooth works good by the way, but then I have that every message and other sound is also about the speaker, which is of course not always the intention. Google assistant also works properly and even with the Dutch language, but sometimes the music stops and it indicates that it can't help me even though I didn't say anything, I even thought the song contained sound to control the assistant , but after dialing the number again it didn't work. In my eyes it is a beautiful speaker with a beautiful sound, but with the necessary "teething problems". Maybe in the next update they will disappear. For me it is not recommended yet and I am still unsure about what I will do with it

What a sound! What an experience. It costs a penny, but you definitely pay for it! The quality you get in return is incomparable to other brands!

What a great sound comes from this small speaker, really sublime. Before I had her working I had to reset her (yes it's a ZE). Since there was no manual, it was a puzzle for a while, but long live the internet. After the reset it went almost by itself. The Bose Music app had trouble finding the speaker, but after some insistence it succeeded. The only music services she draws from are Spotify and TuneIn. She can't do anything with Deezer. It is a pity that a premium account on Spotify is required, this should be possible. She answers most questions or comments, which is quite comical sometimes. When I say: "Hey Google, good morning", I get a very friendly answer back, even the travel time and traffic situation to work comes after it, the weather conditions (home and work), any agenda items... a bit of a personal assistant who Google . I still have a lot to discover, but so far I'm very happy with it. It's just a shame that she isn't cordless, now you need an extension cord if you want to take her outside to enjoy your favorite music (or a good conversation, because she can do that too).
