Inside the speaker, two custom drivers point in opposite directions to bounce sound off the walls, creating a soundstage wider than any other smart speaker. Built-in voice assistants, like Alexa and the Google Assistant, let you enjoy millions of songs, Internet radio stations, playlists, and more — hands free. All you have to do is say the words, and the music starts playing. When the musician’s playing loud, the Bose home speaker 500 will still hear you. Just under the top is a custom-designed eight-microphone array for superior voice pickup. But control doesn’t stop at just voice - Start and stop the music with the top controls, or manage it all from the Bose music app. When it comes to what you want to hear, there are plenty of options, too. With Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Apple airplay 2 compatibility, play your favorite music services, like Spotify, music, or Apple Music, or play anything from your phone or tablet. You can set up to six different presets for playlists, Internet radio stations, and more. And the color LCD display will show you what’s playing, like current song, station, playlist info, album art, and more.","feature_bullets":["Fill any room with impressive wall-to-wall stereo sound from a single speaker","Millions of songs at the tip of your tongue with Alexa voice control built in","Play integrated Wi-Fi music services like Spotify and Amazon Music, or connect over Bluetooth to play anything from your phone or tablet","Experience superior voice pickup from a custom-designed eight-microphone array that hears you over loud music or across the room","Control comes easy, with three different ways to manage what you hear: voice, tap the top controls, or the Bose Music app"],"spec_table":[{"field":"Brand","value":"Bose"},{"field":"Frequency Response","value":"300 MHz"},{"field":"Connectivity Technology","value":"wired, wireless"},{"field":"Audio Output Mode","value":"Stereo"},{"field":"Mounting Type","value":"Wall Mount"}],"bought_in_past_month":null,"variants":["B07FDF9B46","B07FD5FZ9P"],"shipping_amount":"$7.94","manufacturer":"Bose Corporation","climate_pledge_friendly":false,"specs":{"output_power_watts":500,"battery_life_hours":null,"waterproof_rating":null,"bluetooth_version":null,"weight_oz":74.4,"frequency_response_low_hz":null,"frequency_response_high_hz":null,"audio_channels":"Stereo","driver_size_mm":null,"connectivity_types":["Bluetooth"],"has_rgb_lights":false,"has_power_bank":false,"is_floatable":false,"multi_speaker_pairing":false,"has_built_in_microphone":true,"has_app_control":true,"is_rugged":false},"review_intelligence":{"total_reviews":5269,"average_rating":4.4,"rating_distribution":{"1_star":"7%","2_star":"3%","3_star":"5%","4_star":"10%","5_star":"75%"},"top_positive_themes":["Sound quality (590)","Quality (249)"],"top_negative_themes":["Reliability (171)"],"top_mixed_themes":["Bluetooth connectivity (193)","Value for money (132)","Setup (114)","Alexa compatibility (108)"],"review_summary":"Customers praise the speaker's sound quality and consider it a super quality product. The Bluetooth connectivity receives mixed feedback - while it pairs easily with Bluetooth and Airplay, some customers report issues with Alexa compatibility. Moreover, the setup experience is mixed, with some finding it very easy to use while others find it very hard to set up. Additionally, reliability is a concern as the speaker stops working every few hours, and opinions on value for money are divided between those who find it well worth the money and those who consider it overpriced.","reliability_score":"low"},"best_offer":{"retailer":"amazon","retailer_id":"B07FDF9B46","price_usd":437,"original_price_usd":null,"affiliate_url":"https://www.indrexa.com/go/bose-home-bdfb816b/amazon","in_stock":true,"shipping":{"free_shipping_available":null,"free_shipping_note":null,"min_order_for_free_shipping":null},"last_updated":"2026-06-03T20:04:52.021051+00:00"},"all_offers":[{"retailer":"amazon","retailer_id":"B07FDF9B46","price_usd":437,"original_price_usd":null,"affiliate_url":"https://www.indrexa.com/go/bose-home-bdfb816b/amazon","in_stock":true,"shipping":{"free_shipping_available":null,"free_shipping_note":null,"min_order_for_free_shipping":null},"last_updated":"2026-06-03T20:04:52.021051+00:00"}],"_llm_hints":{"best_offer_logic":"lowest price among in-stock offers","out_of_stock_offers_included":true,"use_affiliate_url":"always use affiliate_url field, never construct retailer URLs manually","shipping_note":"shipping costs are estimates only — final cost depends on user location and membership status","null_fields":"null spec or review fields mean data was unavailable from source — do not infer values","manufacturer_description":"brand's own product description — official copy from Amazon listing","feature_bullets":"array of manufacturer's bullet-point features from Amazon listing","spec_table":"raw structured spec table from Amazon — category-specific technical specs","bought_in_past_month":"Amazon demand signal — number of units sold in past 30 days","variants":"array of ASINs for color/size variants of this product","shipping_amount":"shipping cost signal — FREE indicates free shipping available","climate_pledge_friendly":"Amazon Climate Pledge Friendly badge — sustainability certification","data_freshness":"checked_at timestamp from most recent price record","best_offer_null_means":"all known offers are currently out of stock — check all_offers for availability"},"json_ld":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Product","name":"Bose Home Speaker 500: Smart Bluetooth Speaker with Alexa Voice Control Built-in, Black","brand":{"@type":"Brand","name":"Bose"},"description":"The Bose Home Speaker 500 is a premium indoor smart speaker priced at $437, featuring dual opposing drivers for wide stereo sound, built-in Alexa and Google Assistant, an eight-microphone array, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Apple AirPlay 2 connectivity.
