Can you make calls with a Bose speaker?
Our most recent software update introduces a call feature so you can make calls directly to Bose smart products, Amazon Echo products, and anyone in your contacts list from your speaker or soundbar.* No phone. No hands. No charge. It’s like a walkie-talkie but so much better. And say mom beat you to the punch.
Is the sound quality on Bose speakers good?
Bose speakers are also great, but again, not for the sound quality. Bose knows that people who buy their products aren’t buying them to listen to music, they’re buying them to fill a space with music while other things are happening. Bose cuts a couple key frequency areas in the musical range on their speakers.

Without missing a beat (or a slice or a stir) you can simply say out loud: “Alexa, play my after-work playlist” and your Bose Home Speaker 500 comes to life, connects to your favorite music service, and suddenly fills the kitchen with music.
