Bose have taken the wraps off their new wireless portable speaker, known as the Bose SoundLink Wireless Music System, which, apart from allowing users to stream audio wirelessly from their PC also boasts compatibility with iTunes and Pandora as well as offer access to other Internet radio broadcasts.

The Bose SoundLink Wireless Music System in essence consists of a speaker that hooks up to your PC wirelessly courtesy not of integrated Wi-Fi connectivity but a USB dongle – meaning that the device won’t simply connect to your home network like Wi-Fi enabled devices.

The speaker itself retains maximum portability thanks to being powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery which offers up around three hours of endurance with the system operating at full volume though, interestingly, Bose’s press release fails to actually confirm the device’s total output so we’re unable to confirm what exactly full volume is. Quite an odd omission to make. Bose do, however, confirm that the system features ‘a proprietary acoustics package, which combines exclusive Bose waveguide speaker technology and neodymium transducers to deliver room-filling, high-quality audio from a very small enclosure’. Which is nice. Still – would have been nice to have some further details like wattage and frequency response.

Additionally, in a press release that seems rather scant when it comes to specifics, Bose also don’t mention the wireless range of their Bose SoundLink Wireless Music System – merely stating that it’s a ‘long-range’ wireless system that works through ‘most’ walls and floors. Not especially helpful.

Bose have at least confirmed that the Pandora and iTubes compatible Bose SoundLink Wireless Music System will commence shipping as of 27 August and that it’ll set you back just shy of $550.

      Whoever wrote this isn’t used to Bose. Otherwise, they’d realize Bose NEVER releases wattage or frequency response of their products, believing that people should hear for themselves. As for not mentioning the range, that’s pretty weak. It probably is so no one complains that due to their specific home setup they don’t get the full advertised range.

    2. [...] in the house and play your audio through it.  Another option is to get remote speakers like this Bose set cost $550 and would sound much better and have a decent power [...]
