BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10

★★★★★ A BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10 review will not answer these 21 questions. Get the truth from people who own a BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10, including the fact that it won't...

WILL THE BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10 PLAY FROM MY SIRIUS XM ACCOUNT?

• Great question! As of right now, a Sirius/XM receiver can be connected to the 3.5mm auxiliary jack located on the back of the system. Any device with the Sirius/XM app can also be connected this way or wirelessly through Bluetooth. Any wireless content can also broadcast to other SoundTouch systems in the network. More features for this system are on the way!

• Hello, thank you for your question. Yes the Bose soundtouch can play Sirius xm from an online account. It has Bluetooth capability as well as an aux port. If you are playing it from something like a pc with Bluetooth capability it will work no problem.

• Not directly, if you use the app on the phone then blue tooth yes.if you have it on stereo then on a network yes also.maybe an adaptor by Sirius to convert to Bluetooth

• It is my understanding that it will not at the present time but it may in the future.


HOW MANY SPEAKER UNITS CAN CONNECT TO EACH OTHER? CAN YOU CONNECT ALL THE DIFFERENT ONES IN ONE ROOM? AND CAN YOU HAVE DIFFERENT VOLUME SETTINGS FROM THE APP?

• Excellent questions! SoundTouch can support at least 4 rooms wirelessly on most home routers. Over Ethernet there is no practical limit to the number of rooms that can be supported with other SoundTouch units with Ethernet connectors. There is a simple "Play Everywhere" button in the app that enables multi-room synchronized playback. Volume can be controlled independently on each system with the buttons on the system, remote or the free SoundTouch app on your smartphone, tablet or computer.

• I have 2 units that are connected in different rooms. You can connect them or play separately. The app allows you to adjust a different volume for each room.

• You connect speakers to the control App. Then you can play the same or different music through each speaker. Not sure how many, however I have 2 connected.


DOES THE BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10 WORK WITH THE BOSE WAVE SOUND TOUCH MUSIC SYSTEM IV?

• As a owner of both systems, I can tell you that they work together beautifully using the sound touch wave app. As an example, from my tablet I can play music from Pandora on one or both of the systems. My Bose wave sound touch music system is downstairs and my Bose Soundtouch 10 is upstairs and I can play two different music stations or the same station throughout the house. It works beautifully together!

• Great question! Yes, this SoundTouch 10 can sync with the SoundTouch Wave Music System IV to play the same WiFi audio, using the SoundTouch app. The same works for audio from a device connected to either device via Bluetooth as well.


CAN I USE THE BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10 IF CONNECTED VIA BLUETOOTH WITH MY IPHONE 6, WITHOUT USING THE BOSE APP, LIKE I WOULD WITH A PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER?

• Hello Spencer and thank you for the question! You can definitely connect Bluetooth devices including your iPhone 6 wirelessly without using the Bose app.

• Yes, you can! Anything you can stream by Bluetooth on the internet can be played on the Bose SoundTouch system, including YouTube audio.

• I don't have an iPhone but a review by Digital Trends hooked an iPhone6 via bluetooth to a Soundtouch 10. Hope this helps.

• Yes you can that's how I used it I would just connect it through my Bluetooth on my phone.


CAN YOU PLAY MUSIC DIRECTLY USING THE ITUNES APP ON OUR IPHONE/IPAD OR IOS REMOTE APP AND BYPASS THE BOSE APP?

• Great question Richard. The SoundTouch 10 has Bluetooth built into it alongside the Wi-Fi capabilities, it does not have AirPlay. Once connected via Bluetooth you can play music from your device directly to the system without having to access the Bose SoundTouch Controller app.

• Yes. I use amazon prime music and with my speaker synced to blue tooth on the phone and laptop I can get it to play if I manually push the power button on the speaker. I just wait to hear it is connected then play whatever.


 CAN I PLAY SOUND FROM MY DESKTOP COMPUTER ?

• Glad you asked. Yes, there are a few ways to play sound from your computer. If the computer has Bluetooth then it can be connected to the Bose system wirelessly, if the computer does not have Bluetooth you could always hard wire the computer directly to the auxiliary input port on the back of the Bose system. Lastly if you are trying to play music from an ITunes or Windows Media player library then you can link that library to the SoundTouch application for playback over Wi-Fi.

• I have been trying to use this for my desktop comp. But it's not working.


 CAN I PLUG THE BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10 TO 220V?

• I see that Bose already answered this, but I just want to add that I have three sound touch speakers and have called Bose tech support a few times. They have been the most helpful tech support I have ever used, and are reason enough to buy their product. I would direct any further questions their way. Enjoy!

• Not directly. You would need a converter or split your 220 into two 110. Camper stores often have 220 to 110 splitters in the US.

• Glad you asked. The SoundTouch 10 is signal sensing so you may connect to 220v. Power cords with the proper prongs are available.


 CAN YOU PLAY MUSIC THROUGH ITUNES ON MY MAC VIA WIFI LIKE AN APPLE AIRPORT?

• Excellent question. This system does not support airplay however, If you download the SoundTouch application to your Mac computer you can then link your iTunes library to the application and play your iTunes library over Wi-Fi from any device that is running the SoundTouch application. Alternatively Bluetooth can be used to connect the Mac directly to the system wirelessly.

• No but you should be able to play with bluetooth on thr mac to the same effect

• I play my iTunes through it from my iPad . So I'm sure you can with your Mac


 CAN I STREAM MUSIC TO THE BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10 WITH "PLAY MUSIC" (ANDROID)?

• Glad you asked David! SoundTouch systems connect wirelessly to your home Wi-Fi network - so the music plays directly from the Internet to the SoundTouch system itself. SoundTouch 10 includes Bluetooth as well, so you can access music services not currently supported by SoundTouch, such as Google Play Music directly from your device.

• VERY IMPORTANT this system has Bluetooth and Bose/WiFi - no airplay unfortunately. Any device with Bluetooth can connect to it...the limitation? You can't stream music to multiple system without using the Bose App.


 HOW MANY SPEAKERS COME WITH THE BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10?

• Glad you asked. The SoundTouch 10 is our smallest SoundTouch system that delivers Bose performance that seems to defy its size in a single-unit. Any one of these systems can be used with another system (from the current series or from a previous series) to create a multi-room audio system.

• Only one. But, you can buy many Speakers and connect forma a sound system

• One speaker.....its all you need.

• One


CAN THE BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10 BE BOUGHT HERE AND USED WHEN I RETURN TO INDIA. DOES THE POWER CORD WORKS THERE ALSO?

• I would have to say that as long as the voltage in India is the same as in the US you can use it there. Just make sure it is between 110v and 120v ac.

• The SoundTouch 10 is signal sensing so it should work in India. You might need to use an adapter or purchase a power cord with the correct prongs.


IF I PURCHASE THE BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10, CAN I CONNECT IT WITH MY SOUNDLINK MINI IN ANOTHER ROOM?

• Great question! This system can send Bluetooth audio to other SoundTouch systems in the same WiFi network, rather than SoundLink products. It does so by sending that Bluetooth audio through the WiFi router to other SoundTouch systems. Since SoundLink products do not use WiFi, they won't accept that signal.

• I don't believe so, unfortunately. I think they rely on different technologies.

• Yes


 HI, HOW MUCH DOES THE BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10 WEIGH?

• Extremely light. I just placed it on a digital scale. I added the remote and it went just over 3 pounds. Hope that helps. It pushes some kind of sound for something so small. Bose has always rocked their products. You can control it with an app on your iPhone or iPad.

• Great question. The SoundTouch 10 system weighs approximately 2.89 lbs.

• According to my scale ~2.875 pounds (~46 oz)


 WILL THE SOUNDTOUCH 10 WORK WITH A BLUETOOTH TRANSMITTER CONNECTED TO A TV?

• Great question Harry. Although a transmitter will technically work, the experience does not meet Bose expectations. There will be a distracting delay between the audio and video that detracts from the experience and it is not something that we recommend.

• Yes, however keep in mind Bluetooth has slight latency which might bother you while watching movies or playing games


 CAN YOU CONNECT AUDIBLE BOOKS FROM AMAZON?

• As Bose said, if you have Audible on an iPhone, Android or other device, you can connect the phone via Bluetooth to SoundTouch and play an Audible book that way. You cannot directly play Audible on ScoundTouch...

• Great question Ken! Yes. You can wirelessly stream music from a Bluetooth device to listen to sources not currently supported by SoundTouch, such as Audible.


CAN MORE THAN ONE BLUETOOTH DEVICE(IPHONES AND IPADS) CONNECT TO AND CONTROL THE BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10?

• Great question. Yes, this device can be connected to and controlled from any Bluetooth device. It will remember the last 8 paired devices.

• Yes. I've connected both my laptop and my iPhone via bluetooth (not simultaneously, of course) and it's worked well with both.


 CAN YOU USE THE BOSE SOUNDTOUCH 10 AS A SPEAKER THAT CONNECTS TO A TV?

• Great question. Yes, you can connect the audio output signal from the TV to the 3.5mm auxiliary terminal on the back of the SoundTouch 10 system.

• If your television has Bluetooth connectivity then I believe so..

• Yes,through the 3.5mm jack on the back.


 WHAT IS THE USB CABLE USED FOR?

• Great question! The USB cable is used for an alternate method of initial setup if we need to use a computer rather than a smartphone or tablet.

• To set up the system if you're using laptop or computer to control it and do not have WiFi.


 HOW LONG ARE THE SUPPLIED CORDS?

• Thank you for asking. The SoundTouch 10 comes with two cords. The USB cable used for setup is 3 feet long and the power cord is 5 feet long.

• The power cord is about 5 feet long.

• About 2 feet long


 CAN THE SOUNDTOUCH 10 BE EXTENDED WITH SONY 5.1 MUSIC SYSTEM SPEAKERS?

• The SoundTouch 10 has no audio output so it cannot be used with the 5.1 speakers.

• I AM NOT SURE


 DO I NEED TO CONFIGURE THE SPEAKERS EVERY TIME I PLUG IN AND PLUG OUT?

• Hello Carlos, The speaker will connect automatically.

• No you don't have to
