WOW! RIDICULOUS! IMPOSSIBLE! ... This pa is on another level. Remarkable engineering to get crisp, clear, powerful sounds from a speaker of this size and portability. Acoustic guitar and vocals are amazing! Dispersion is amazing as well. Buy it. You will not regret it. Thanks to zZounds for great service always!

What a powerful little PA system! I coupled it with my T1 Tonematch Engine and it simply is SUPERB!! Can't wait to take it to a gig! People will be blown away! BTW Bose recommends using a balanced cable to hook up the T1 to the S1. Got myself a MOGAMI 20 footer and WOW what a difference in sound from the unbalanced cable that I used previously.

As a solo acoustic performer the S1 is ideal. It's lightweight and small footprint make it perfect for small rooms, outdoor venues and larger halls. I also use it as a piece of my on stage gear when I add 3 or 4 musicians to my line up.

I bought this amp so our community jam group could continue playing together as I was concerned with people's mental health. It has been a great amp. We sit farther apart of course but this amp has such clarity and volume that it really is unbelievable. I get comments all the time from those who were not that enthused at first about our new venue playing in the park , that they are having a great time! No doubt this is at least partially because of the quaility and performance of this amp that now they are all very enthused about our little park party and do not want to go back indoors! Thankful and grateful here in NorCal!

First off, these are not only small and light, but easily the most powerful portable speakers I have used professionally. If you are a DJ these may just change your life! Gigging people everywhere, this will more than cover most shows with 100+ persons. The speakers are very versatile, I have used them for my guitar, directly in with the "ToneMatch" on guitar. Reverb is good and the EQ settings do assist getting a great sound. Phantom Power is not available on the unit, (the only mark missed in my opinion). My Shure SM 57 and 58's as well as the Sennhiesers 906e work well and sound clear as a bell. Singing and playing setup is very easy, as well as tearing down. I bought a Pair of Live sound Mini PA speaker stands to use these, the speakers are light and are a good fit you wont need the full size stands unless you want to get the speaker up high. They work good in the 3 positions they were designed for, and the EQ actually accommodates and changes for each change. I have used the BOSE Connect App to connect the speakers via Bluetooth in Stereo. I will let you know, that I did have to update the speakers to get this to work. The Bose site actually had this listed and the solution to resolve the issue. I have put actual distortion pedals into the speakers and it sounds well, the reverb and the ToneMatch give the sound of an amp! (very good sound with some tweaking) I love this setup for my OPEN Mic nights! I use one Bose S1,Two BOSS WL20 wireless systems, one Bogner Red Extacy Pedal and a Charvel San Dimas guitar. All battery, all wireless and all awesome. I am actually building more wireless options and rigs that have more versatility. I cannot rave enough about these incredible Speakers. Try one and see what you have been missing! I plan to but 4 more and replace my Huge PA Speakers with these. I can see the possibilities and so will you.

I just got delivery on the two Bose S1 Pro Units and am very pleased and true to Bose they deliver the sound for me every time Im use them. These little boxes are only 15 pounds but have the sound including low end of a much bigger box. I just ordered another one ! I just did the update also though the Bose web site so that you can use the Bose connect app to stream two together. Lightweight, powerful, full rich sound and great low end. The battery does what they say it does nd runs for hours .I ran it for about 4 hours first time with much more to spare.I have called Bose several times and they are quick and informative .That s one of the reasons I really like Bose .I use these for small Dj events and corporate they are great !

My S1Pro was delivered 3 days ago and I can’t believe something that light weight and small can deliver the sound quality I come to expect from BOSE. I love it. The sound is similar to my L1S1 towers. If you are looking for a true, quality practice system, this is it. I used it at band practice yesterday and the other guys couldn’t believe what they were hearing. If I could give it 6 stars I would. The only drawback is there is no phantom power button for my shure 87 A mic. I needed to attach one of my tone matches to get the phantom power. Adding the seoerate tone match also increases the number of channels. At practice I had 3 mics, a guitar and a bass going through it at the same time and it was crystal clear.

If I don’t fully love any music gear I purchase I will sell it within a couple months. I’m a very happy owner of this Bose S1 for several years now and I don’t plan on selling. I’ve been through numerous options for amplifying my acoustic guitar and vocals and for my money I think it’s the best.

cool little portable speaker with standard Bluetooth connectivity. Battery doesn't last as long when its played at full capacity. Do not use this speaker as a main speaker unless is a very small gathering. I use it as a monitor for my dj gigs and its perfect for that. Not so great as a house/studio monitor. Definitely not as powerful as I expected it to be. It cant even played at full volume without hearing a heavy distortion. I was not impressed with the amount of money I spent for it. But hey, its bose right...

I am not a newcomer to pa systems small or medium sized.I fogured its a Bose so it will fill a room with good quality clean crisp sound.Well....in a small living room area with 20 people the volumes on the mixer were maxed out and it was not enough!Mike had no headroom. Ok it sounded ok but not sensational as the price tag would suggest.my Behringer 8" powered speaker and Behringer mixer have way more punch and volume......sent it back.....

I bought this on a whim to try it out. It certainly has that "Bose" sound. Heavy bass, sometimes hard sounding highs but with decent midrange. You can tell it's heavily processed via EQ curve. I bought it mainly for a back yard Bluetooth speaker. In the upright position either on a table or stand, the bass is so forward that it distorts very easily even at mid volume with modern bass heavy music. Older 80s music is not an issue. IF it had a bass level on the Bluetooth input where you could dial it down, that my have helped. Unfortunately it does not. I find it funny how every on of the professional demos are acoustic guitar. It sounds great with that but put real world music through it and it disappoints. I suppose if you were using it in a PA system and were able to filter out the bass and send it to a subwoofer, it would work pretty good. Not sure if I'm keeping it. For $600 I expected more. I thought I may have gotten bit by the Bose bug but I think I'm just going to swat it away.

Excellent quality. Comes with a dust cover, battery pack and power cord. The sound is what makes or breaks this speaker. I would not use these for studio monitors or critical listening. I was playing some 24 bit HiRes AIFF files, and it could not keep up with a balanced frequency. I compared the Bose to different set of HiRes studio monitors. It gets the drum frequencies right, but it fails with ambience and vocals. You'll notice a big dip in the volume, as if you lowered a certain track during you're mixing. Very weird and disappointing. I found this speaker to sound phenomenal with YouTube videos and movies. Nice and smooth!. It just failed when it had to perform for my DAW. So confusing!. To conclude, my music is way too ambient for the Bose S1 Pro.. The Bose Acoustimas system sounds way better. I was just annoyed with a big sub bass under my desk and wires. When it comes to the S1 Pro, I do see this more ideal for live instruments, video games and movies. I would not recommend for DAWs and music purist.

I bought this system for ceremony and the vocals were mic volume was too low. The music was amazing. Blu-Tooth is also amazing. Sound was great. For just music its a homerun. But I cranked the mic up on the one channel and still it was too quiet. I am returning. I dont see the point of buying another mixer just to power this.. I can buy 2 smaller speakers for some priuce

ive had nothing but battery problems with this speaker, its one thing or another. Bought the play though cover and it makes the speaker rattle like crazy. I know Bose isn't known for their awesome sound but this thing seriously sounds like crap. Not even a tiny amount of Bass. Cool concept but this speaker is awful. Don't believe the hype.
