I just purchased the S1 pro plus n I find it awesome. It’s really loud n I can’t put it to its full volume because it just way loud plus I don’t turn up the bass because it has enough bass without adding more to it. I got a mic Transmitter n it’s working great n I love it. I’m satisfied with this Bose It’s easy to operate not a lot of menu’s to deal with. It works for me. I’m sure which ever someone chooses they be happy. Great review!!
@soueyoflux I'd hate to think what people were using at Pubs before this speaker. I have 2 of them. Use them on stands. There's a sensor in the slot that turns the speaker into "Weapons"!
Question since your hands on. Does that mean that you can technically connect that one wireless microphone on slot 1 but also connect another microphone on that same slot using an XLR connection? So that’s technically 2 microphones being used in the first slot, correct?
Hi there, unfortunately you would only be able to use one microphone per input. If the wireless mic is connected you would not then be able to connect a XLR microphone to the same input.
Hopefully Bose will support this product in future years unlike what they did with us original L1 adopters. They screwed us and wouldn’t repair them. And they wouldn’t recommend an alternative repair center. And they wouldn’t provide a service manual. The big screw. Beware.
Hey 👋🏻 can’t seem to find a couple of important things in all the reviews I keep watching on this product, how loud is it? And are acoustic solo people gigging with these? How big are venues people are gigging with just one of these? Pubs? Halls? Thanks in advance for any advice on these things. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Interesting stuff. As an owner of the Bose S1 Pro, I actually feel like the weight reduction will be to the detriment of the sound (which strangely hasn't been mentioned once in this video . . . . I wonder why?)
@@joealves5070 how did you reach Bose Pro support… I received today Bose S1 Pro + and find it difficult to connect with my Bose S1 Pro… this is a bit stressful because I am organising event on this Friday 😅 Will be super grateful if you have any information in this matter 🙏🏻
@@magdalenainermiss545 Heads up, the S1 pro and S1 pro+ do not wirelessly connect to each other on party mode. They are on different apps, i learned the hard way, now have to return s1 Pro+, i talked to them after i could not connect them both

Oh man. And here I thought I could replace my Behringer Flow 8. But no. Still wireless to my Sennheiser XSW-D that has a tuner, wireless mic and wireless in-ear monitors.
Does this also act as an audio interface if I can connect it to my laptop and use a guitar amp sim? Also would I then just plug my electric guitar into this speaker while controlling the tones using my laptop? Does that make sense?
Hey folks....question: Any noticeable latency with mic transmitter? Im pretty sensitive to singing with latency....Dig my S1. Amazing sound, and so light.
Hey Man, thanks for this. Need your opinion. I have seen a few using the s1 pro+ to record their live performances. I know the pro+ allows you to stream live via pc/mac, so the video and audio are synced, and sent as one. Im wondering if you may have any suggestions, regarding the use the usb c port to stream, using a camera, or phone to record video and sound vis pro+? Im a bit confused myself, i know. Anyway im trying to wrap my head around how the pro+ can be connected to camera or phone, and sends the audio that (was mixed) by the pro+ and sending it with the video. Rather than recording the room sound. Its serving as an interface but confused on how to use camera or phone for the recording of the video, and pro+ to send the audio, synced, so I dont have to time the tracks appropriately in a daw, of some sort. Do I sound like I know what im talking about? Sometime I wonder. Im reaching out because Bose reps have no idea how to do this. Any help will be appreciated. lol
For anyone who’s already got the S1, they’re not going to upgrade. Bośe again has missed the mark by not going after the EV Everse 8 which is cheaper, has more power and more ins/outs. I have a pair of S1’s that I use for DJing ceremony / garden / even really small weddings over subs so no need for me to change. But still come on Bose, you needed an 8” woofer, 1 more input and more spl. Couldn’t have been that difficult. Like the idea of the 2 mic receivers but add that to more what I said and a home run would have been had 👊🏻
@@minhphat2069 It's YOU who doesn't understand. He is saying that BOSE should upgrade to an 8 inch speaker to improve bass response. They didn't do it in this new version, so it's not worth it. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? 😂
Does it have a removable battery like the other portable speakers? If the battery fails thats a problem where others you can just replace it easily. Also I have an MPC Live 2 can I use both inputs at the same time for left and right and can the mic be used at the same time as well? Also is there latency issues if I am using a drum machine?
Hi, thank you for your comment. The unit comes with a battery preinstalled, but you are able to replace it with a new battery if you wish to. Also, you would be able to use an MPC Live 2 and a mic simultaneously with no issue. You should not have any latency issues when using a drum machine with the unit.
Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately Bose does not release specific wattage RMS information for this product. However it is designed to deliver exceptional sound quality. Please let us know if you have anymore questions.
@@cduemig1 I own both the S1 Pro (older model) and the Everse 8, and you are right: The mic preamps (and overall sound quality and flexibility) are superior to those on the Bose. However, if people like the overall sound and form factor of the Bose, they can get more out of it by carefully choosing which vocal mic to use. It can make a huge difference, not only in gain, but also in vocal clarity. I tended to use an AKG on it that has a bit of the „chest“ sound of the SM58, but is far clearer in the upper mids and treble. That helps the S1 Pro jump to life, and get louder at the same time.
@@scottbecker3485 The S1 Peo is a great speaker. For ceremonies though I either used an external mixer or wireless mic that has higher gain. I really like the preamps on the Everse eliminating that need. Even my JBL Eon One Mk2 has the same preamp problem. I used to keep the S1 Pro in my truck at all times for backup and being able to play music anywhere. Plenty of times it’s come in handy. The Everse isn’t that much bigger but it’s enough I don’t carry it as much. What really killed the Bose for me was the battery. At an event in the winter the battery refused to charge.
@@Speakers293 Thanks....I thought so. I already have two S1s....if the wireless would have been 5 Ghz it might be something I might be interested in but I think I am going to give the Everse 8 a go. Cheers.
@@jeffmilkeyThe Everse 8 doesn‘t disappoint. I have transitioned to it from the older Bose S1 Pro, though I still kept the Bose because it‘s such a great speaker in and of itself, and I might want to pair it up with the Everse one day. The Everse, however, has a far more transparent sound (with extensive EQ adjustability to taste), compression on each channel, more reverb options… All in all it‘s a superior product for about the same money. If the wireless options of the new Bose were tossed in for free, I‘d get one just to have that option for certain situations. But when you tack on the price of the transmitters, you‘re talking big bucks just to go wireless, and that with only 2.4 GHz, as you point out. Won‘t float my boat at that price point, so Everse is my weapon of choice. Incidentally, the sound of the original Bose (same as the new one, they say) has its own coloration - a very appealing one, but not easy to tweak for greater transparency. The Everse lets me once again hear more subtleties, plus go deeper in the bass. Also delighted that all my great mics actually sound like themselves through the Everse, which wasn‘t the case of the one-size-fits-all sound of the Bose.
@@scottbecker3485 think i have to test it myself, but i was wondering is the Bose S1 pro " coloration " may be pleasant to the ear, and can help a first time beginner busker , if the sound can help to be pleasant. Maybe the everse can be " better ", but maybe it's also a little harder to get that.
One question, Can I link the old s1 pro and the new s1 pro+ together in the app, and which app? planning to add one more s1 and the s1 pro+ is the way to go, just wondering if they work well together in one app.
@@tonypowers123 Sorry but I completely disagree with you here. The S1 Pro has no feature to be able to connect to an App so what make you think that you will suddenly be able to do so now?
Heads up, the S1 pro and S1 pro+ do not wirelessly connect to each other on party mode. They are on different apps, i learned the hard way, now have to return s1 Pro+
Shame the guitar didn't come with 2 xlr out i stead of using a y cable. Also the wires microphone battery only last 4 hours. And the pa last 10 hours. This is disappointing
Yeah .. I tried it with my Rode Wireless Pro .. alot of problems. In the end I gave up and used cables to connect them and also got a Shure SLXD for wireless microphones. Also the microphone which are ominidirectional keep giving feedback, so I had to use only directional microphones.
The EV 8 is better than Bose on every attribute that matters. Bose clearly has them beat in marketing….. How in the hell does a Bose engineer not have a master volume on this thing among a few other things thst are standard for a $700 PA speaker. I’m an owner of this s1 pro plus, so here is my buyers remorse…. EV is so much more thought out for a stereo PA. So much more versatile. Master volume Tons of effects A real EQ An app that’s adds significant value 400W power XLR clip secure connects
Yikes...so... its the same speakers, same effects, same battery life, and same power? I guess I am one who prefers function over frills. Would have loved an 8 inch driver, 3 dedicated instrument channels, and mid control. That would have been way more useful in every meaningful way.
Vocal are the most important part. So why would u not test the vocals. And like see how good the vocals are with the reverb with say backing track & 2 of them together with a sub. This video was a complete waist of time
No delay no mids and the reverb no good .and u cannot conect a multy effect board with 2 xlr out total usles dont listen to these RU-vidrs there not honest
Bose come on. What the heck are you doing. I have been waiting for a better more powerful battery powered speaker. This is the same sound quality and same volume. I guess I have to get something else oe wait another 4 years. What a disappointment
Not loud enough for 100 people even with 2 bose s1 pro plus. No mids the reverb junk. The vocals will loose your gig in sound and quality. And the speakers are made in china. And one of the cheapest speakers u can buy in china. Mr gear4music not tell u this
Again Bose fails to listen to the voice of the consumer and provide a master volume on the Pro line of speakers. Presumably to cause the consumer to buy the Bose mixer.
The unit has an input for a vocal mic. No-one reviewing the unit bothers to discuss this. I know guitarists are obsessed with themselves and their instrument, but come on, people.
