Bose Home Speaker 500 is a Wi-Fi smart speaker with two side-firing custom drivers that produce true stereo separation from a single body — a rarity at this size. A small LCD on the front displays album art and weather, while Alexa is built in for voice control of music, smart home and timers. Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth and a 3.5mm aux input make it equally at home as a casual or party speaker.
