Bose announced its move into dedicated Wi-Fi streaming devices earlier this year with the introduction of the SoundTouch 30, SoundTouch 20 and the SoundTouch Portable Wi-Fi music systems.

The idea behind SoundTouch is that you can start with one system and buy more for other rooms later.
The Bose SoundTouch 10 wireless speaker streams via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and can easily connect to other speakers throughout your home, but it lacks stereo output and sounds just average for the price.
Bose’s portable speaker takes on the Sonos Move
The Bose SoundTouch 20 once received our Editors' Choice Award, but was dethroned by the newer, Alexa enabled Bose Home Theater 500. That isn't to say the...
Whether you want a quality Bluetooth speaker or something bigger for your home stereo or theater system, we've got all the best Bose speaker deals.
