About this deal

Just press a corresponding button on the SoundTouch speaker or the included remote, and with that one touch, your music starts playing -- no phone needed. While the number of supported music services is skimpy right now, iPhone users have the benefit of using AirPlay for native apps instead (in other words, you can play Spotify via AirPlay if you want). Switching from the SoundTouch app to the Spotify app is seamless; you’ll pick up wherever you left off.

The addition of 5 GHz compatibility also offers a better streaming option in crowded environments like apartment buildings in the city. Bose Corporation ("Bose") warrants your product against defects in materials and workmanship when purchased directly from Bose or a Bose authorised reseller.Easily personalize presets for one-touch access to the music you love, and control one or many SoundTouch speakers around your home. It supports popular services such as Deezer, Pandora, SIRIUS Internet Radio, Spotify, TuneIn, iHeartRadio, and iTunes.

This is the same remote control that comes in the box with SoundTouch® 10, SoundTouch® 20 series III or 30 series III speaker. Unlike the Smart Radio, however, (and the Squeezebox by extension) the Bose doesn't support on-the-fly playlists.It's worth noting that the six preset theme is very similar to the scheme found on the now-defunct UE Smart Radio. We had a little trouble with a corporate firewall (no other wireless system we've set up encountered this), but you shouldn't run into this problem at home.

Audio clarity is good but can't function as a full fledged speaker for watching movies, playing games and listening to music. Sonos is well ahead on those fronts, but we expect that Bose will close the gap and improve the SoundTouch system with a steady stream of software upgrades over the course of 2014 and beyond.With just a few taps, the SoundTouch app turns your phone or tablet into a powerful controller, letting you listen to the same music everywhere, or different music in different rooms. With its compact dimensions, the SoundTouch 20 Series III measures 314 mm in width, 104 mm in depth, and 188 mm in height. That's not to say it's not a detailed speaker, but it is able to pick out the important bits and leave out the fluff. The SoundTouch 10 speaker joins the new SoundTouch 20 and 30 Series III speakers, new SoundTouch soundbars, and new SoundTouch home cinema systems.

As noted, Bose's simplicity theme revolves around the use of "presets"; all the new speakers and apps (Android and iOS devices, as well as Macs and Windows PCs are supported at launch) are equipped with buttons numbered 1 through 6. Bose has launched a line of Wi-Fi speakers under its new SoundTouch brand, which the company touts as having a simple setup and operation, and it is aimed squarely at Sonos' audience. Install SoundTouch app for free from iTunes or Google Play and enjoy a wide range of songs, control your speaker, and save your favourite music as a preset, etc.And even control where it's playing—from the speaker in your kitchen to the speaker in your bedroom. Low-end extension is deep, though bass levels are still a little overegged – it’s the kind of table-shaking sort you might appreciate at a party (play Krossbow’s Blackout and you’ll see what we mean), but not for casual listening, especially if you like tip-top balance. The SoundTouch 20 – Series III is a compact, wireless speaker that delivers clear, room-filling sound. That's good, but Bose still has some work do with making the setup even easier, improving its mobile apps, and integrating popular music services such as Spotify, Rdio, Beats, and others.
