Bose SoundTouch 10 Wireless Music System Review

Blog post: mytechmethods.c...
Bose was kind enough to sponsor this video, and in this video I’ll be reviewing the Bose SoundTouch 10 Wireless Music System. If you love listening to music at home but hate dealing with messy wires, this could be for you.
The Bose SoundTouch 10 Wireless Music System comes in a black or white finish and it's currently the smallest speaker out of the entire SoundTouch family. It has one goal in mind and that's for you to easily stream music in your home without taking up a lot of space. Unlike the Bose SoundLink Color which is a portable Bluetooth speaker, the SoundTouch 10 wireless music system does not have a built-in battery. Instead it’s built to be used inside your home on an existing WiFi network or with Bluetooth devices such as your smartphone, tablet, or computer. However, it still provides an AUX port if you want to use it with a wired connection.
With it being the smallest SoundTouch speaker it can be placed just about anywhere in your home especially due to the fact that it has an included remote which is really convenient. If you find yourself listening to too much music in bed, just quickly move the speaker from your nightstand to your living room mantle. But don’t be deceived by its small footprint. It has some kick to it. I’m not an audiophile by any means, but I’ve used and reviewed enough speakers to notice good quality audio when I hear it, and the SoundTouch 10 provides a really nice fulfilling sound for most indoor rooms. It's clear and rich. Similar to my experience with the SoundLink Color, the loudness of such a small speaker is pretty astonishing. I’m actually kind of scared to push the volume past 50% because I don’t want to disturb my neighbors. Danny Brown at 9am may be too much for them, especially on the SoundTouch 10.
But what’s really cool about this speaker, is that it not only plays audio from any app over Bluetooth, but it can connect to your WiFi network and play music via the free SoundTouch Controller app which is available for Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows. I’m usually not a fan of proprietary apps and I can understand why some people wouldn’t want to sign up for another online account and agree to another company's privacy policy, but you can still use the system with Bluetooth if you don’t want to use the app. It’s not required, but if you don’t mind signing up for a free Bose account with your email address then you can take advantage of the WiFi playback and presets because that's where this speaker really shines. With the SoundTouch Controller app you can connect the SoundTouch 10 system to your WiFi in a few simple steps. Once it’s connected you can connect your favorite music services such as Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, and a few other options and even your own music library. Unfortunately there's currently no Podcasting services, and I would love to see an update in the future that allows connecting podcast apps to the SoundTouch Controller. But the best feature about connecting music services to the SoundTouch app is the ability to use presets. You can assign up to 6 presets with things like a certain Pandora station or a certain Spotify artist, album or playlist. Basically the SoundTouch app makes it super easy to instantly play your favorite music with the touch of a button.
So overall, the Bose SoundTouch 10 Wireless music system is perfect for people who are just starting to turn their home into a music streaming zone. Once you have the SoundTouch 10 system you can add more SoundTouch wireless systems from the SoundTouch family such as larger speakers and home theater systems, which I’ll also be reviewing in case you’re interested.
I would definitely recommend the SoundTouch 10 wireless music system under these conditions: if you already have a WiFi network and at least one Bluetooth device, and you want an attractive small wireless speaker that can easily be moved within your home but you don’t necessarily need a portable speaker to take outside of your home.

Andy Slye but what about the table?

[@in-depthanalysis6751]

Andy Slye Thanks to your AMAZING INFORMATIVE REVIEW, now I'm not gonna buy this product!

[@Quork]

You didn't touch on the spotify connect functionality, you do not have to use a proprietary app to enjoy spotify

[@Chichiflix1]

I received this as gift from friend I hate this Bose 10. For me is as normal speaker with Bluetooth. Due that I use Apple Music. With AirPlay. I have a cheaper speaker that work fine with AirPlay. I will ask for the invoice and see if I can return it to Best Buy

[@LastRenegade00]

Dude you serious?? The main reason people buy any speakers is for the SOUND QUALITY, and yet you wasted our time with your 3 min jargon with no sound test whatsoever...Pathetic

[@robertma6068]

In an age of planned obscelence, this speaker blew me away. It lasted so long that by the time it finally gave out, this particular line of Bose speaker was no longer being made! This speaker was perfectly balanced for how much power/bass it had, and how big it was. One of my favorite speakers ever.

[@Rickandmorty_com]

So it died?

[@robertma6068]

@@Rickandmorty_com yes. One day finally it simply wouldn't turn on annymore, but that happened after 10 plus years of working perfectly

[@greggb681]

Sorry but I cant take a review seriously when the company sponsors the video. Obviously biased.

[@sanskardua4270]

Greg Yarbro I was in the mall 2 days ago and I heard the sound from this speaker and it was amazing. It’s a really good speaker for it’s size. It doesn’t have the bass like the soundtouch 20 though.

[@dickbanger8924]

I got one yesterday and I can a sure you that you wouldn't expect the sound that comes from this! it really is loud and clear with mean bass, think I'll be getting another one and hooking it up to the app and all that bollocks

[@remu3881]

LOL Andy Slye this guy is making him self looking VIP, Bose is his sponsor - what a dickhead !!! Bose would'n piss on him if he was on fire :-(

[@msg1711]

Rem U Your just a moron. Grow up. Stop being a wanker.

[@numberone8763]

I know you can't hear the true sound through a video , but kind of review is this if he doesn't even test the sound.

[@dair805]

Play the damn speaker! 😅 We want to hear the sound!!!

[@XD-wk4ny]

I have it it's relly good and have good bass

[@mikhaelpanggabean1111]

Its nice But You must Use the cable to turn on the Speaker. I have it

[@DrZiggyzoo1]

Speaker review, with no review of the sound lol. Fail.

[@mata_tabi9200]

Look the tittle. oh yes it's system review, not sound review.

[@DrZiggyzoo1]

@@mata_tabi9200 Yeah, since the system is system features is TOTALLY the main selling point of a speaker product. Not to mention the fact that he talks about the sound, with no demonstration of his claims. It is definitely a failed review.

[@Franz_Liszt_Korean]

I totally agree

[@martiamatters8710]

How do you connect it? I haven’t played it in a while but it’s brand new and it won’t connect but it’s says connected. I would hate to throw it away because I don’t hear that sound when it connects.

[@tksalalah]

Hi is this connect to google chromecast while I am using google chromecast to my projector and same can I get connect this for audio

[@hanumanyogananda]

hello Andy, would you be so kind to tell me if one can regulate the base volume in this device? cut them or lower them down? thank you very much

[@MrJordanwain]

How does this speaker compare to the soundlink mini 2 or the revolve? I’ve had the original soundlink mini for years and need to upgrade. I don’t move it too much so don’t 100% need a battery device.

[@level138inrs]

Takes 5-10 minutes to start working each time I try and switch this speaker on, it's horrible

[@thematt5325]

No sound test, huh

[@mr.wblack9107]

So I just bought a set of these speakers. They came bundled as a pair so I assumed you can set them up in different rooms and connect together so you can enjoy your music as you move throughout your space. However I can’t seem to figure out how to do this. Any hints?

[@Quork]

if you play a song in the soundtouch app, click on "play all" this will make it play it on all speakers, alternatively you could set them up as a stereo pair, in the settings, to enjoy better directional sound (soundtouch 10 only have one driver, so thats why they sell them as pairs)

[@alexsailaway1]

Hi Andy, can I use it with Acoustic Wave® music system 12V power cord?

[@kmet222]

Will this speaker pair with Wave sound touch 4 radio?

[@donaldramsamugh1723]

Hey Andy, I currently have a system that you just commented on , however I have used it for awhile listening to music via bluetooth, recently it will not pick up bluetooth nor does it allow me to use the direct connection, none of them works anymore, is it possible that the speaker box may need reprogramming? If it's a possibility please don't hesitate to advise thanks so much...Donald

[@alelakes]

Hi, I want to buy the sountouch 10 for my grandma who doesn't have a smartphone. Is it possible to set up a spotify playlist on one of the soundtouch buttons with my phone for her to listen even when I'm not in her house? Thanks!

[@aslye]

Good question! I think it is possible because I was able to play my preset stations on my SoundTouch speaker with my phone turned off. So it SHOULD work, but I cannot guarantee it.

[@billr3724]

I've always liked Bose, but I've heard of people unable to play their iTunes audio library on SoundTouch 10 speakers. Has this issue been resolved?

[@shadabshahrokhhai7679]

Hi Andy. I really liked your review. I’m looking forward to my SoundTouch 10 purchase soon. I already own a Bose Mini II SoundLink, so with Bluetooth, can I pair that with the Bose Soundtouch10? Also if you know, and again with either WiFi/Bluetooth, can I pair the SoundTouch 10 with my Song Bravia tv like how one would have it as a personal home theater system? Thanks.

[@praneetlikhite4495]

Hi, is external speaker connection possible with this device.

[@donaldramsamugh1723]

Hey Andy, I currently have this wireless speaker but it won't connect anymore wirelessly for some reason, can I reprogram this box ?

[@darotweiler7]

Does it only work with a smart phone or can i connect a TV to it?

[@buddhateachingsutra3642]

Hi! I have a problem on this product. The aux in has latency/ delay... Can anyone solved this... Thank you

[@keripeck1996]

If it Doesn't have an internal battery what makes it wireless other than the fact that you can stream music from any Bluetooth enabled device or Wi-Fi enabled device?

[@aslye]

I'm just going by the official name of the product: geni.us/f8FD

[@acientkid]

All these bose reviews tho! Nicee sponsors! Sadly cannot afford with any of those

[@aslye]

Thanks and if you're looking for a Bluetooth under $40 check out this one: amzn.to/2b1axax

[@rytninjayt8442]

I want to increase the bass how do i do it

[@uneCENT]

Price appears pretty steep for a small non-portable speaker. The lack of USB on the back hurts to as these will need to be upgraded with a Google Audio Cast in order to support what everyone now uses to stream media. (Bluetooth is dead)

[@thebigl156]

BOSE is quite simply the system when you can afford the very BEST. I adore the 30 series I purchased a few weeks ago, for it syncs incredibly well with my Bose Airwave system, so I now intend to purchase the 10 as an additional speaker for the kitchen. I also have a Bose system hooked up to my television and computer and will confess the entertainment system is on it's third television and second computer, while both Bose systems still sound as good as the day they came out of the box. It's simply plug, play and enjoy without all the wirings, unnecessary extras and insane remotes. Furthermore, the workmanship is designed to last, (I know people who have Bose systems that are over thirty years old) and their support is impeccable. FYI I'm not paid by Bose to say this.

[@dza3277]

Which is the best not too expensive Outdoor BOSE speaker?

[@kooper1683]

Nice video but would liked to have heard the speaker and seen it's options in use. 2* of 5*

[@jhungeamoga1536]

can you help me how to reset this speaker bcoz I can't connect to my wifi

[@foodvixen13]

I like your review, I just purchased the system and I'm so looking forward to it's arrival. I wish you would've played some music though! So we can actually hear the sound quality. I know Bose makes the best products. But it would've made this review more informative.

[@MrEdu89]

Can you play a song in different Bose at the same time

[@theblueduck8765]

I have this speaker, great sound but takes so long to connect via bluetooth.... very irritating.

[@danielwells3583]

Here's the thing...it's being labeled as a "wireless" speaker. It lacks a battery, so it must be tethered to a power source of some kind which negates the purpose of being truly wireless.

[@danielhjrupjohansen7945]

IMO, it's useless without a battery - but I didn't notice before I had already unwrapped it....

[@religionISscience]

I own this speaker. I came across it by accident. I was looking for their true smaller wireless, priced at $199 but i believe Bose stopped making it for some reason. I loved it and it kicked hard for its size!!! I m hard to please when it comes to this stuff, heavy handed, want the latest tech for a fair price (for all people😎) , and the sound has to be right. That speaker was a good fit for me, and ive never seen a speaker before or after like it. But wait, i bought this after realizing its true nature because ,honestly, we all know what happens to ANY batter operated devices after 6-10 months? The battery sucks and it has to be plugged in anyways. So this was a fix to my frustrations.Do you huff and complain or do you think and solve (for the non thinkers, I'm not looking for your reply to the last question)? I love its sound but its a bit big for what i want but luckily i have their sound bar system because it integrates and their base kicker.....woah... i mean "daaamn gina" i call it "thunder clapper" worth every. single. red. penny. If you want to spend money one time and never spend money in that department again (this is a warning ⚠️ to those who want quality and will eventually build a home with quality stuff in it!! stop wasting your money in the long run spending continuing to look for good sound) Bose is the "one and done" For real. Im not affiliated with them by by any means , wouldn't mind it tho;) i have musical backgrounds lol!! Jk! "👀 but Only if you are"

[@aminamunga1847]

It does not have a charger,really?

[@bradleyskinner8652]

Let me say that I have many Bose products and love them all however the 10’s lack the bass that I have come to expect from Bose. (I have a set paired). The sound is crisp but if you like bass......maybe another upgraded set is a better bet.

[@jeremychristian5409]

Very well done Andy. Keep em coming.

[@aslye]

Thanks Jeremy

[@Jrhortian]

Will this work over LTE? Like say I am coming home and I want music to be playing when I walk in the door?

[@aslye]

I think the SoundTouch feature requires a WiFi connection unless you're playing over Bluetooth from your smartphone.

[@spacemonkey2355]

Jeff Hortian yes it does

[@spacemonkey2355]

I go to bestbuy all the time and listen to music with my data turned on through rhis speaker.. It sounds really good

[@tmrwic]

Can you connect a mic with this???

[@T17-r6i]

how soon after i plug in the power cable and it can start playing ?

Takes like 20 secounds to start up then your good

Nice speaker. Id like to see the home cinema review

[@prashanth83kb]

You are reviewing a speaker and atleast play it once to people who watching your video. All you said what everyone know about how any $10 Bluetooth speaker works. Play the music if you reviewing speakers.

[@geeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz]

Yes it's so obvious but then they don't care about the sound, they just want to play with geek buttons. Lost souls roaming the earth.

[@TemujinScott80]

geeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz really? lol...

[@TemujinScott80]

Skimmed through and the first thing I heard was "Danny Brown at 9am" needless to say I'll keep watching

[@Jimmytwogunz]

can you play youtube music with this device ? Thanks

[@jamescarroll6954]

Beware of counterfeits of this unit. I got one from a reputable electronics dealer. The serial number was rejected as invalid by the Bose support website despite my having entered it several times, right off the label on the bottom. Since the serial number was fake, I couldn’t even request assistance from Bose.

[@ar250vb]

How to set or change EQ? With flat EQ not so impressive sound, must say!

[@lorinatidc]

For all you recent commenting people, do you own this? We recently got it and cannot find a real review of actual play and longevity of listening. Every 30-40 minutes the speaker loses connection, stops playing the music to have to re hit play on the phone or just hear it "blip" as it reconnects or reloads because it can't keep up with the stream of music? IDK but it's annoying to have to rehit play every so often when listening to music throughout the day 2-3 times an hour. Definitely doesn't have a steady stable connection and for the price. . . . sucks. Other alternatives that sounds great require charging and cannot play and charge at the same time. (True wireless speakers). So hard to get a good home speaker for a shelf to make use of the thousands of dollars of library music stored on a PC from days of yore because you are just suppose to stream crappy app radio stations of repetitious play. Ugh frustrated. Wired sadly is still the ultimate way to go. Digitial music still can't replace even a mediocre home sound system with hard media.

[@carlcauton1451]

does it have built in battery help please

[@aslye]

No

[@FalkeEins]

just got one ..reasonable quality sound for sure, but takes an age to boot up and connect. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, you could have 'operated' it ...

My MacBook syncs better with the ST10 than Minilink II. Sound is about the same with natural bass reach And...(adjusted for my 20x30 thin-coated space). Next Father's day I want's gets paired stereo with a second ST10.

[@MattShearerhotshotzphotography]

I bought these, they sound great as you would expect from Bose. The software and connections are slow and laggy though. Even playing via Bluetooth from my phone with two of them paired, there is a delay when changing songs/volume. I wouldn't buy them again.

[@tamtamnz6529]

truly awesome small speakers, ive got the white/cream one

[@cobaltcommander2105]

Genuine Question: Is it possible to add KZbin Music to the list of services like Spotify and Pandora and have it function within the app itself, WITHOUT using Bluetooth and the KZbin Music app itself? Also would the bose app need to be running in order for that to work or would the presets have the speaker function all on its own? Basically what im trying to do specifically is have 24/7 Radio streams available at the touch of a button, without the need to have another device streaming it to a speaker.

[@dibbo9264]

They’re awesome can’t wait to purchase my own one

[@flyhouseoftruth470]

It looks much bigger on eBay. Here's the thing, Bose if your reading this. I don't want small, I want you to design me a big jam box. styled like those large flat boxes from the early 80s. Something big and powerful. With a single 8 or 10 inch subwoofer right in the center powered by it's own class d amp, two 4" mids and 1" tweets off to the sides. and chambered ports coming out the back. With a carry strap, a molded hand hold to hold up to my ear, lastly a 24v input for a Kobalt tool battery to power it.

Thanks for the video. I was looking for reviews regarding Bose ST 10. Seems good. Am torn between Bose ST 10 and Bose Solo 5 TV system due to the cost, later costing little more. Am aware that the Catg is different, but with Solo 5, I was wondering if this 2 in 1 - TV system + play music via BT devices will be more beneficial.

[@AndrewSmith-bg1wb]

I love Bose or used to love Bose but this speaker is weak. It has to be plugged in which sucks and the sound is super muddy. I was hesitant about it because of the cord but I knew Bose had killer sound and huge bass so I bought it anyway and sadly I was so disappointed. Sometimes it was tolerable if I placed it in just the right spot but I love to cook and shower with music and plugging and unplugging was just dumb. It would maybe be doable if it sounded awesome but I couldn't do it anymore and got rid of it within 2 months.

where is the audio quality bro ...!!!!

[@andrewbrewer9353]

Hardware wise it's sound quality is everything you would expect with Bose's former reputation. However on the software/firmware side they need to fire their entire it department management for either not providing the programmers what they need to do their jobs or failing to hold them to Bose quality standards or industry and market requirements. I bought 2 of these and returned them in a week. I would not recommend them even at a quarter of the price for the simple reason that they need to connect and work to be a viable product at any price point.

[@Jaxon92]

Wow, Bose sponsored you and you didn't even provide a sound sample? I think they got ripped off. You only gave us information that only a anyone knows. Do you really consider yourself an expert?
