The Bose SoundLink Home differs from the company's other SoundLink portable speakers. Thanks to a retro-inspired design, it looks way cooler.

Unlike Bose’s other SoundLink speakers, the SoundLink Home is intended as an app-free experience — just power up the speaker and pair it with your favorite smartphone. Actually, with Bluetooth Multipoint, you can pair it to two phones simultaneously — but you’ll have to referee the fights between the phone owners.

The SoundLink Home includes support for Bluetooth 5.3 with a wireless range of about 30 feet, and it can be paired with other speakers in Bose’s SoundLink line for stereo sound. It lacks Wi-Fi, however,

Bose was one of the very first firms to make a hugely impressive portable Bluetooth speaker, the 2013 SoundLink Mini: I had mine for the best part of a decade and it consistently outperformed its newer rivals with its surprisingly powerful and deep sound.

Bose just expanded its Bluetooth speaker lineup with one for home and another to take wherever your path leads you.

Bluetooth speakers are now commonplace, and nearly every brand on the planet has at least one in its lineup. Bose has announced two new Bluetooth speakers into its SoundLink lineup, the Home, and the Flex. The Flex was announced last week, while today, Bose announced the addition of the Home.

In its most stylish iteration yet, Bose just introduced the SoundLink Home, a Bluetooth speaker housed in an ultra-steel frame and overlayed with chic gray fabrics.
