Did you know that the first product Bose released, way back in 1966, was a colossal array of 22 speakers designed to create a massive sonic environment? Thankfully they decided to chill out a little bit and over the years became one of the world's leading audio brands, producing amplifiers, speakers and headphones that are carefully tuned to enhance the listening experience.

In 2023, they offer an extensive and diverse array of products - almost too many to keep track of. But that's our whole job, so here's our picks of the best Bose speakers for any occasion from home systems, portable options, and even for those looking to pump up the noise at concerts and parties.

How We Picked The Best Bose Speakers

At Pocket-Lint, we make it our mission to review as many products as possible, so our selection here is shaped by real hands-on time with these devices, like the Bose Smart Soundbar 600 and the SoundLink Revolve+. We also compare them to the other leading brands on the market in terms of price and performance. That means that we come to recommendations with as clear and unbiased a perspective as possible.

For this list, our top pick is the Bose Home Speaker 500. That's the unit that has the most flexibility and power for the price and will work in the most different space configurations. If you're looking for more portability, the SoundLink Flex takes the top spot for its durability and price. For the smallest possible unit, the SoundLink Micro delivers surprisingly robust sound from a tiny package.

Bose has built a reputation in the audio industry for high performance and prices to match, but if you're serious about your sound they're one of the best mass-market options out there. No matter what your sonic needs are, they have a product that will hit your sweet spot.
