FAQ

Can the product connect to more than one Bluetooth® device at a time?

No. Only one mobile device can be connected to the Bose Home Speaker 300 at a time via Bluetooth. However, it’s easy to switch between devices using the Bose Music app or the Bluetooth settings on the selected device.

How does the Bose Home Speaker 300 compare to Bose SoundTouch speakers?

The Bose Home Speaker 300 along with the Bose Home Speaker 500, the Bose Soundbar 500 and the Bose Soundbar 700 (and future products) are the new smart speakers from Bose that include new acoustics with the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa built-in, and are compatible with the Bose Music app for setup and control of integrated Wi-Fi music services.

Bose SoundTouch speakers are a broader family of Wi-Fi speakers that provide Bose quality sound with easy access to your music. Bose SoundTouch products use the Bose SoundTouch app for setup and control of integrated Wi-Fi music services. Bose SoundTouch speakers do not have the Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa built-in, although they may be controlled by voice using separate devices like the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot.

In terms of acoustic performance, the Bose Home Speaker 300 produces deeper bass and a 360° lifelike sound when compared to the similarly sized Bose SoundTouch 10.

Is the Bose Home Speaker 300 compatible with Bose SoundTouch speakers?

No. The Bose Home Speaker 300 uses the Bose Music app for setup, control and music browsing, while Bose SoundTouch products use the Bose SoundTouch app. The Bose Home Speaker 300 works in synchronised multi-room groups with any combination of additional Bose Home Speaker 300 units, the Bose Home Speaker 500, the Bose Soundbar 500 or the Bose Soundbar 700.

However, the Bose Home Speaker 300, Bose Home Speaker 500, Bose Soundbar 500 and Bose Soundbar 700 can interoperate with Bose SoundTouch products to some extent through Alexa. There are no plans to update Bose SoundTouch products to be compatible through the Google Assistant in a similar fashion.

With Alexa, users can speak to the Bose Home Speaker 300, Bose Home Speaker 500, Bose Soundbar 500 or Bose Soundbar 700 to initiate or control music on any Bose SoundTouch speaker in their home. This requires that the user has enabled the Bose smart home skill for SoundTouch in the Alexa app. For example, a user can ask Alexa on their Bose Soundbar 500 to “Play The Beatles on my living room SoundTouch 20” or “Turn off the kitchen SoundTouch 10”. This feature still does not allow the Bose Home Speaker 500, Bose Soundbar 500 and Bose Soundbar 700 to be grouped with Bose SoundTouch products for synchronised multi-room playback.

Can the Bose Home Speaker 300 work in multi-room groups?

Yes. The Bose Home Speaker 300 can play in synchronised multi-room groups with additional Bose Home Speaker 300 units, or with the Bose Home Speaker 500, the Bose Soundbar 500 or the Bose Soundbar 700. However, you cannot play synchronised multi-room content across the Bose Home Speaker 300 and either Bose SoundTouch products or products from other manufacturers (including Google or Amazon).

Can I connect the Bose Home Speaker 300 to a bass module or satellite surround speakers?

No. The Bose Bass Module 500, Bose Bass Module 700 and Bose Surround Speakers can only be added to the Bose Soundbar 500 and Bose Soundbar 700.

Can I control the bass and treble?

Yes. Bass and treble can be adjusted via the settings menu in the Bose Music app.

What Google Assistant features are not supported?

The following features are not supported at this time, but will become available in future automatic software updates:
Chromecast capabilities, but Google Assistant voice control of Chromecast-enabled TVs is supported.

Can I use the Bose Home Speaker 300 as a clock or alarm?

Yes. Although the Bose Home Speaker 300 does not have an LCD display to show the time, you can use the Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa to ask for the time, timers and alarms.

What is the acoustic technology in the Bose Home Speaker 300?

The Bose Home Speaker 300 contains one proprietary Bose full-range driver positioned to fire downwards into an acoustic deflector. This design allows the speaker to produce incredibly smooth and spacious 360° sound. Proprietary digital signal processing enables the Bose Home Speaker 300, a mono speaker, to preserve and reproduce more of a recording’s original stereo audio content when compared to other mono speakers. Proprietary digital signal processing also enables the Bose Home Speaker 300 to maximise audio output from its small size and to produce surprisingly deep bass, leveraging an advanced acoustic port design with Bose’s innovative QuietPort technology.

Can I use the Bose Home Speaker 300 at my friend’s house? Or at a holiday home?

Yes. The Bose Home Speaker 300 can remember multiple Wi-Fi networks and passwords.

What are the main benefits of the Bose Home Speaker 300?

The Bose Home Speaker 300 delivers room-rocking bass and 360° sound in a space-saving size. With the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa built-in, you can enjoy millions of songs, playlists and more with just your voice. And you have the freedom to control the music your way—using your voice, a tap on the top controls or the Bose Music app. Plus, future software updates will add new features.

How can I set the preset buttons on the Bose Home Speaker 300?

You can press and hold any of the six preset buttons on the speaker to save the current station/playlist as a preset. Or you can set a preset via the Bose Music app.

What sources can I play music from?

The Bose Home Speaker 300 can play music directly from streaming music services over Wi-Fi®, controlled either by the Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, or using the Bose Music app. The Bose Home Speaker 300 also has Bluetooth® capability and a standard 3.5-mm aux line-in jack. Additionally, you can play music on the Bose Home Speaker 300 from the Spotify® app on a smartphone, tablet or computer using Spotify® Connect, and from an Apple device via Apple AirPlay 2 compatibility for streaming content like Apple Music.
