Bose SoundTouch 20 Series III Wireless (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi) Speaker - Black A

Product Information

Everything is tested by our dedicated team of in-house reviewers in our custom-built test rooms in London, Reading and Bath. The SoundTouch 30 Series III is Bose’s best-performing one-piece solution, and the SoundTouch 20 Series III delivers rich, room-filling sound from a more compact enclosure. We approach the SoundTouch 20 Series III with a certain expectation of sonic weight and bottom-heaviness, and not just because of its predecessor’s character – neither the Bose SoundLink nor SoundLink Mini shied away from that either. Please note that the text provided is an objective description of the product without any subjective assessment.

The app lets you set six personalised presets to any music service playlist, artist or internet radio station, and change them whenever you want. When an update is available, the SoundTouch app will prompt you to install the update when you open the app. Sonos is well ahead on those fronts, but we expect that Bose will close the gap and improve the SoundTouch system with a steady stream of software upgrades over the course of 2014 and beyond. Now, every SoundTouch system -- including the new little SoundTouch 10 speaker -- all have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi built in for the best of both worlds, perfect for instant music and multi-room listening.

As well as Bluetooth, it can still stream music directly over the internet – over the air or via Ethernet cable – from any computer, NAS drive, tablet or smartphone connected to the same network.

That's good, but Bose still has some work do with making the setup even easier, improving its mobile apps, and integrating popular music services such as Spotify, Rdio, Beats, and others. Bose Corporation ("Bose") warrants your product against defects in materials and workmanship when purchased directly from Bose or a Bose authorised reseller. They also appreciate the remote control, saying it'll allow them to control the speakers from their smart phone.Browse your favorite music services, like Apple Music or Spotify®, or play anything from your phone or tablet. The SoundTouch 30 – Series III is our best-performing, one-piece wireless speaker with Bose waveguide speaker technology that produces deep, rich sound to fill your largest room. This speaker also connects to your home Wi-Fi network so you don’t have to worry about keeping your music ready - you can stream music online and play whatever you wish in crystal clear sound clarity. The SoundTouch 20 wireless speaker brings it all home, packing enough clear, robust sound for bedrooms, kitchens and most other rooms. You can join those speakers up, renaming them for the rooms they live in, and like Sonos, you can stream music to a single room or have the same music play on all your speakers at the same time.
