QuestionIs this speaker. Bluetooth. Connectable to any device
Asked 5 years ago by Mally.
- Answer I tried to connect it to my smart TV and was unable to do so. I read that Bose does this on purpose so that you have to buy their entertainment system, which is pretty pricey, sounds good, but not good enough for the price. I believe you are able to pair this speaker with other Bose speaker though.

QuestionCan this be connected to WiFi tv
Asked 5 years ago by Tutti.
- Answer Hi there Tutti! The Home Speaker 500 can be connected via AUX, Bluetooth (Bluetooth version 4.0) or through Wi-Fi on the Bose Music app. If your TV uses AUX or Bluetooth you could pair wirelessly, however for Wi-Fi pairing you would need the app which is currently only available on iOS 10.3.3 or newer devices, or Android 5.1 or newer. If you're interested in a system for direct use with a TV though, we would recommend you check our our Soundbar products!

QuestionIn my country the electricity is 220v. I think I need an adaptor. If yes can I buy too an adaptor from 110 to connect to the wall 220v?. Another question: can I listen my music from my computer. Can i listen to the radio?
Asked 5 years ago by Cristina.
- Answer Thank you for your recent question regarding our Home Speaker 500. This Home Speaker is auto sensing 100-240 V, at 50-60 Hz. As such, provided you're using the right power ports/cables, this can be used in countries within this voltage range. You can connect to this system through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or directly via AUX. If you use Bluetooth or AUX, you can pair to a computer and play any source onto the system (downloaded music, video players, online sources etc.). If you use Wi-Fi with our Bose Music App on a mobile device, you can access internet radio stations through our Tune-In service. We hope this answers your questions!
