Bose launched a brand new wi-fi transportable speaker on Tuesday. The SoundLink House is a comparatively small addition to the lineup with “premium sound” and round 9 hours of battery life for $219.
The SoundLink Residence is kind of “mini” for a home-branded speaker: 8.5 inches excessive, 4.4 inches broad and a couple of.3 inches deep. It weighs 1.93 lbs (0.88 kg). It shouldn’t be onerous to tote it from room to room or discover an open spot on a desk or desk.
A small dimension usually means compromised audio, however Bose guarantees its twin passive radiators will produce “deep bass that fills any room.” The corporate additionally says it has “premium sound” with “nice acoustics.” The corporate can squeeze surprisingly highly effective sound into small packages, as evidenced by its SoundLink Flex lineup (extra on that in a second).
The SoundLink Residence forgoes Bose app entry, so that you’ll have to tweak your supply audio if you wish to alter EQ ranges. Along with Bluetooth 5.3 (together with multipoint!), it allows you to connect a USB-C cable for wired enter. The speaker additionally has a built-in mic to make use of for voice assistant entry or as a speakerphone for calls.
You need to use its bundled USB-C cable for charging, too, and Bose says it can go from empty to full in round 4 hours. You possibly can hyperlink it wirelessly with a second unit for a stereo setup.
As its photographs point out, it’s a snazzy-looking little speaker. Its physique is comprised of anodized aluminum, and it has a “high-quality” cloth grille and a built-in stand.
The Bose SoundLink Residence is out there now completely on the company website. You should buy it in grey and silver colorways. The speaker prices $219 and (not less than for me) reveals delivery accessible instantly.
Bose SoundLink Flex
The corporate not too long ago up to date its SoundLink Flex, a pill-shaped transportable speaker that’s considered one of Engadget’s picks for the best Bluetooth speakers. In contrast to the primary model (and the SoundLink Residence), this second-gen mannequin now connects to the Bose app. There, you may make EQ changes and retailer stereo pairing connections with different appropriate Bose audio system. The brand new model helps AAC and aptX audio codecs and is available in a brand new Alpine Sage colorway.
The brand new mannequin additionally positive factors a shortcut button (just like the one on the SoundLink Max). Like that mannequin, the button on the Flex is customizable via the app.
The second-gen SoundLink Flex is available now for $149.
