See if you don't buy another one shortly after... ;)
Don't hesitate to get one of these SoundTouch 10s. They're excellent. I bought two.I own the new SoundTouch 130, and decided to get the SoundTouch 10 to add extra audio capability in my apartment. A week later I bought another one, these things are awesome! After hearing such awesome audio in my living room I needed to get the same in my kitchen and bedroom.The SoundTouch 130 had impressed me with its simplicity and versatility - and removed the need to install surround sound speakers, something I wanted to avoid this time around. I was in a bind between the lower priced (and excellent) Sonos sound bar, and the Bose. As far as audio quality is concerned, they were close. But the ease of use was the kicker that made me want to try the Bose 130 and 10, and Sonos lacks Bluetooth connectivity. Once I had it running at home I wanted more of the same sound throughout.So I went and listened to the 10 once more and ordered it online right after. Of course could have just picked it up at the Bose store, but I'm loyal to Amazon, who have taken good care of me over the years. I did get the second one (in white) at the Bose store though, I couldn't wait ;)I stream music from my PC via Windows Media Player, from Pandora stations, from Amazon Prime, various Internet radio stations and Audible audio books from my phone or Fire tablet. Sometimes I link the speakers together for whole house audio, sometimes the systems each play different things. Either way, it's a pleasure to have this system working so easily and seamlessly.Setup is quick, though I do feel the Bose app is slower to respond than it needs to be when configuring a new device. My main gripe is it takes a while each time it starts to find and display the Bose devices on the network. I don't know why it can't just remember them and display them right away. Other than that the app is quick and the speakers respond very quickly with the requested content.I love the way I can stream audio via BT to any speakers and then replicate that sound across the rest. Bose did a great job on these.The 10 can be controlled via your i) phone, ii) tablet iii) PC, iv) via the menu buttons on the speaker itself or v) the handy remote. The remote is a very useful addition. Bose gets extra credit for that, though the app is usually open on my devices when I'm home for quick access.Audio quality is of course at Bose standards, which are high. If you hate Bose, then why are you reading this? I have never had to crank these up, I probably only used them at maximum 30% volume to get clear, crisp audio in the open plan kitchen or bedroom. The audio carries well, just angle the speakers for the cone of sound to propagate across your living space correctly and the difference in audio fidelity is clearly apparent.These are elegant and stylish; they're small units, but with a heft and solid feel that speaks of quality. I only turned them up loud once to get a feeling for them, but only play them at lower volumes as indicated above. No need to turn them up to get great audio.Make sure the source is of high quality however, as bad audio will sound terrible. The speakers reproduce quality audio amazingly well, but poor quality streaming sources (typically internet radio) are faithfully reproduced and will ruin the listening experience.Mornings, evenings, quiet times, bedroom, kitchen, living room, holidays etc. will never be the same once you have these. Once you've had the benefit of these you will want to fill your house with them and use them all the time. They are that good.You will find reasons to upgrade your music and build a collection of good audio - I listen to a ton of Audible books now because of these things too.Ver másVer menos
