- 6 Programmspeichertasten
- Nur wenige Streamingdienste nutzbar
- App etwas unübersichtlich
- Kein aptX
Mit gut funktionierendem Sprachassistent, richtig gutem und breit gestreutem Klang sowie einem Farbdisplay mit vielen sinnvollen Informationen ist der Bose Smart Speaker 500 sein Geld durchaus wert. Die App könnte allerdings noch benutzerfreundlicher sein und Bluetooth aptX würde Nicht-Apple-User freuen.
- Sehr guter Klang
- Umfangreiche Smart-Features
- Edles Design und hochwertige Verarbeitung
- Einrichtung mitunter hakelig
- Vergleichsweise hoher Preis
Bose macht beim Smart Speaker 500 vieles richtig. Vor allem klanglich kann der smarte Lautsprecher auf nahezu ganzer Linie überzeugen. Er punktet mit einem ausgewogenen Klangprofil, satten Bässen und einer hohen Lautstärke.
Klang insgesamt gut. Aber nicht immer ausgewogen, der Bass dröhnt mitunter. Musik vom Heimnetz-Server und lokal vom Handy nur via Zusatz-App. Stereo-Pairing nicht möglich. Die da oder die da? Nutzer kann zwischen Alexa und Google Assistant wählen. Gute Anzeige. Gute Bedienung am Gerät. Gute App-Steuerung. Bose-App sendet Daten an Facebook. Kompaktes und leichtes Gerät.
