SoundTouch 20 wireless speaker

The products cannot be grouped together through a Bose app. SoundTouch products use the SoundTouch app; while the Bose Home Speaker family uses the Bose Music app. However, Apple device owners can use Apple AirPlay 2 to group the SoundTouch 20 speaker – Series III with Bose Home Speaker family products for multi-room synchronized playback. Apple AirPlay 2 requires a Wi-Fi connection.

All you need is a home Wi-Fi network and a smartphone or tablet. Everything else required is included in the box.

SoundTouch speakers let you play Internet music services like Spotify®, Pandora®, iHeartRadio™, Deezer, TuneIn, Sirius, and Amazon Music. (where available)

No. Although most of these networks are free to use, their sign-up/sign-in processes differ from the SoundTouch app setup process. SoundTouch products are designed for in-home use, not on the go.

Yes. SoundTouch speakers can play music stored on your computer that is managed by iTunes or Windows Media Player.

It depends on the bandwidth of your home Wi-Fi network. For most homes, we expect you can have up to four speakers connected wirelessly. For more than four rooms, we recommend using Ethernet wired connections to some of them.

Yes, if you have multiple SoundTouch products, you can stream different music in different rooms, the same music in every room or customize zones to play what you want where you want.

The app is compatible with Windows® 7, 8, 10; 64-bit Macs running OS X 10.8 and later; any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 8.2 and later; Android devices running Android 4.4 and later.

Even though the SoundTouch 10, 20 and 30 all offer Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Apple AirPlay 2 compatibility and effortless one-touch presets to access your favorite streaming music, they each provide different levels of performance for different-sized rooms in your home. The SoundTouch 10 is our smallest SoundTouch speaker that delivers full, rich sound and Bose performance that seems to defy its size. The SoundTouch 20 – Series III is a compact, wireless speaker that delivers clear, room-filling sound. The SoundTouch 30 – Series III is our best-performing, one-piece wireless speaker with Bose waveguide speaker technology that produces deep, rich sound to fill your largest room. Another difference is that both SoundTouch 20 and 30 display in-depth song, artist, station and connectivity information on an OLED screen whereas the SoundTouch 10 displays simple connectivity information via 4 LEDs on the front of the product.
