Bose SoundTouch 30 Series III Wireless Music System

Product Information

SoundTouch 30 is a wireless music system that streams songs via DLNA, Spotify, Deezer, internet radio and Bluetooth, as well as forming part of a multiroom network with other SoundTouch speakers. The app scrolls through huge music libraries without much hesitation – I whizzed down a list of more than 900 albums on my NAS drive and it needed only a brief pause when it reached “M”. However, our recent multi-room system test – which saw Bose’s Wireless Link enter our testing rooms for the first time – gave us cause to run the rule over its SoundTouch speakers once again. As noted, the app started out a little rough around the edges, but has steadily improved -- and continues to get better.

There is considerable yet considered bass weight, which carries some insight rather than the warbling hum that can often be mistaken for low-end authority. Additional music features: skip forwards/backwards, play/pause and rate your music (thumbs up or down buttons) as you listen. In addition to the Wi-fi option, the sound system also features a Bluetooth function and USB audio inputs.Unless indicated otherwise, all settings are cleared and reverted to their original out-of-box state. On the whole, however, there are many more positives than negatives in the SoundTouch 30’s performance.

Thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi connection, the SoundTouch 30 lets you stream music from servers on your home network, such as PCs and NAS drives, as well as Spotify, Deezer and internet radio.SoundTouch lets you take total control of your listening experience, right from your smartphone or tablet.
