According to our WiFi speaker expert
Thanks to the very good quality assessment, you can be sure to have high sound quality.
Additional Bose speakers let you easily create a multi-room setup to stream music throughout the house.
This speaker doesn't support AirPlay yet.
The speaker doesn't have a display showing the playback information.
With the SoundTouch 30 III WiFi speaker, you can combine a variety of playback options with Bose sound quality. Thanks to the 2 tweeters and the woofer, the system produces a rich sound that fills even the largest room in the house. The only thing you have to do is put the plug in the socket. The speaker gives access to streaming services like Spotify and Deezer, making millions of songs available to you. Thanks to Spotify Connect, the speaker is in direct contact with Spotify's database. This way, you won't need to use your smartphone's mobile data and you can select songs directly in the Spotify app. You can listen to your own music collection over the speakers via WiFi and Bluetooth. You'll have an endless amount to listen to and you'll find the right song for every occasion.

After previously buying the Bose Soundtoch10 as a radio in the kitchen, I became so enthusiastic that I bought a Soundtouch30 (series 3) for the living room. Bose released the Soundtouch10 and Soundtouch20 and 30 (Series 3) in late Q3 2015. All 3 models are equipped with Bluetooth and dual band WiFi (2.4 and 5 GHz), which are good improvements compared to the series 2 speakers. I also understand that the series 3 has improved speakers compared to the series 2.
Connecting was also a piece of cake with this Soundtouch30. After the most recent update of the Bose app, it all works just fine over my 5GHz network.
The Soundtouch30 produces a rich and full sound that can fill a large room with ease! If I then select 'Play everywhere', where the Soundtouch10 is nicely synchronized with the Soundtouch30, then the sound is absolutely fantastic. If you find the bass predominant, you can easily turn it down a bit using the app. Go to Explore-Settings-Systems and click on the desired speaker in your system whose name or bass you want to change.
There are 6 preset settings that you can see in the app as well as on the speaker itself as push buttons and also on the remote control. For example, you can set 6 preset radio stations or set other sources here. For example, I have set my most used radio stations for the first 3, 4 is Spotify, 5 is AUX and 6 is Bluetooth. Just press the button and play!
I think this is really perfect because I don't necessarily have to use my tablet or smartphone when I want to listen to radio or Spotify quickly. My girlfriend doesn't turn on the radio at all when she first has to start an app on her smartphone, she is very happy with this Bose Soundtouch where she can listen to the radio with one push of a button and also has a remote control.
I have the Soundtouch30 next to my TV and unfortunately it could not be connected through the optical out of my TV. It is a pity that Bose has not realized an optical input on this large Soundtouch30. With that, Bose could easily have further differentiated itself from brands such as Sonos. Bose should of course have offered a Soundtouch playbar with an optical input with which you can complete your Soundtouch system. If you have a smart TV with Bluetooth, you can of course connect it to your Bose very easily.
Nevertheless, I have now satisfactorily resolved it by using a converter from optical to aux (29 euros). The sound of the TV now runs over the analog aux connection and sounds amazingly good! For me a possible Soundtouch playbar will come too late anyway Bose, that's fine ;-).
All in all, I can heartily recommend the new Soundtouch speakers (the 10 or touch20 /30 series 3)! For 599 euros you get a system with the Soundtouch30 that you can do everything with and with an amazingly powerful sound. Connect even more Soundtouch speakers to complete the party.
Are you still in doubt between Sonos play5 or this Bose Soundtouch30? I would say; Listen to them side by side in the store and I think your choice is made quickly.

doubted between Sonos and Bose, The advantage of Bose sound is that it can be expanded with truly wireless boxes (on battery) Glad I went for Bose!
