SoundWear Companion speaker
Hands free. Ears free.
Meet the SoundWear Companion speaker, a wearable speaker packed with technologies that create a truly unique listening experience. It surrounds you with clear, full sound while keeping you aware of your surroundings, too.
Every inch is designed for better sound.
Take a call as you walk around the block. Enjoy your music while you garden or cook dinner. Ask Siri a question while at work. You’ll feel and hear the difference. Digital signal processing combined with legendary waveguide technology from Bose pump out what other wearable speakers don’t—deep, rich sound. And upward facing speakers point toward your ears, maximizing what you hear, while minimizing what others hear around you.
More than just music.
With your ears free, you can stay aware of what’s around you while you enjoy your music. But there are other things you want to hear, too. Like taking a call from a friend. And you can use your phone’s Siri or the Google Assistant for help on the fly. SoundWear Companion keeps you closer to all of it—your music, your surroundings and both at the same time.
Comfortable. Flexible. Durable.
The SoundWear Companion speaker is flexible and durable. And since it form-fits your shoulders in whatever position you leave it, you’ll hardly know you’re wearing it. The speaker is sweat and weather resistant, with an IPX4 rating. And the high-quality black speaker cover (included with purchase) repels dust and is four-way stretchable, so it fits the speaker snugly without affecting the sound. Additional speaker covers—available in Blue and Plum—are sold separately.

Product Description
Introducing the latest in a long line of groundbreaking, innovative products from Bose. The SoundWear Companion speaker is a wearable speaker that surrounds you with sound, so you can stay connected to your environment, access music and virtual assistants (like Siri and the Google Assistant) and take callsall without having to take your phone out of your pocket. Its packed with technologies that create a truly unique and immersive sound experiencesurrounding you with clear, full soundwhile limiting what others hear around you. With a comfortable and flexible design, its better sound you can wear at work, at home or on the go. Troubleshoot if microphone is not picking up sound make sure the microphone opening on the left side of the speaker is not blocked or try another phone call or try another compatible device. If poor sound quality use a different music source, connect a different device, disconnect the second device, or disable any audio enhancement features on the device or music applicationEvery part of this speaker is engineered to deliver clear, powerful sound and surprisingly deep bass. Digital signal processing and legendary waveguide technology pump out the kind of deep, rich sound other wearables dont. Upward facing speakers point precisely toward your ears, maximizing what you hear, while minimizing what others hear. A three button control makes it easy to make calls, play and pause tracks and access your phones Siri or the Google Assistant right from the speaker. An advanced microphone system ensures calls and your phones virtual assistant apps sound clear and intelligible even in windy and noisy environments. You can choose between vibration and out loud alerts to notify you of incoming calls. And the speaker plays for up to 12 hours off a single charge (and a quick 15 minute charge delivers up to 3 hours of performance), so you can listen throughout your day. The SoundWear Companion speaker is flexible, durable and so comfortable you may forget you are wearing it. A bend and stay steel wire encased in medical grade silicone provides just the right amount of low spring torsion to stay form fitted to your shoulders throughout the day. The speaker is sweat and weather resistant (with an IPX4 rating) and comes with a four way stretchable cover made to withstand dust and static. And the cover is acoustically transparent, so nothing gets between you and better sound. Additional speaker coversavailable in Blue, Plum and Greyare sold separately.‘Never-tire’ carrying experience - ergonomic Air System back, harness & waist belt

Build quality is on point...you can really tell they used premium materials here. The cover is soft and well made and the speaker itself feels like it can take a beating and be just fine (love that it's water resistant). I personally like the design (even if it does look a little like a neck pillow as some have said) because its simple and non-intrusive.
At first, when I saw this advertised, I jumped on it because it seemed so innovative and cool. When I finally got it in the mail, it took me some time to fall in love with it because at first, I was having trouble deciding what niche this device filled in my life. In the end, I really only have two issues with this product that have made it hard for me to give it a full 5 stars. First, I felt that it was advertised as a semi-private listening device (ads and reviews were claiming that it created this magical bubble of sound around your head that no one else would really hear unless they got really close to you). This isn't true at all really unless you keep the volume super low (really, the only thing you hear prominently that others don't is the bass). Secondly, despite the amazing build quality, innovative design, and great sound, I still think $300 is a bit steep for this. I feel like as nice as this is, probably $200 would have been a more fair price (considering Bose's ear buds are typically 100-150, I doubt you'd ever see a product like this any lower than that).
All in all after 10 days of ownership, I can say I'm happy with the device and think I'll end up keeping it. It's nice for audio books, podcasts, and light music when cooking, doing housework, sitting at the computer, etc. It's nice to have your music move through the house with you and I like that I can have music at a level that sounds loud and immersive to me, but doesn't bother others too much. I'm considering buying a Bluetooth adapter to pair with my TV so I can watch movies in the evening without waking up our daughter when she's asleep. Also, FYI: there are many nice hard-shell cases popping up on Amazon for this device if you have an interested in carrying this with you when you travel back and forth from the office.
UPDATE: I've now owned this almost 3 weeks and I have to say that it's really grown on me more and more the longer I've owned it. I went ahead and ordered a hard shell case (ASIN: B077HKP39B) and have been carrying the Soundwear to work with me every day. I work at a computer and with the volume moderately low, I can hear the music just loud enough to keep me in the zone without anyone else hearing it in my office. I connect it to my Echo when at home and can walk all over the house doing chores and my music goes with me (excellent range!). The best part is I can hear really great quality sound without being closed off from my environment. Battery life has been great and I've taken several phone calls on the Soundwear since writing my original review and they sound amazing (not just to me, but to the person on the other end). These fill a niche between speakers and headphones that I never thought existed until now, but I'm glad to have them. They really are a joy to use and I'm glad I ended up giving these a chance to grow on me. Bose offers a 30 day satisfaction guarantee...I recommend you make use of that and really give these a chance to prove themselves to you. They seem hard to justify at first because they seem to fill sort of a narrow set of use cases and are pretty costly, but for that price you're getting great sound quality and a super cool and innovative piece of new audio tech. I've been enjoying these so much that I've added another star. Thanks for reading and hopefully my review helps others decide if this unique and cool gadget is for you.
It's the form factor that is unique. You can have that louder sound without having to be loud because the speakers are right under your ears. You don't have the isolation like headphones or the wear on your head. The person next to you will be able to hear noise coming out of it. I heard a couple reviewers on YouTube say that the person next to you can't even hear it. That is not true. There is no way they can't. 😄
When connected to TV there is lag but if you get a good aptx you can cut the latency significantly to where it's not bothersome. Bose does state it's not ment for use with video that there is lag. I think they dropped the ball here. I'm watching a movie and it sounds like I have the volume up but I don't. It's great for when you need to be quieter but you want the full volume effect. Like I said though get a BTT with aptx and it cuts it down a lot. 😉👍
I'm a little disappointed in the overall sound quality I was expecting more at this price and from Bose. But you gotta give it to them for the comfy form factor and the flexibility of this device. You can bend it stretch it fits easily around your neck. Battery life is good its water resistant comes with a cover which is already on it and packaging that can be used for storage.
There is a firmware update for this. I have no idea what it does. The app is simple it has a few adjustments. But it's another invasive app that wants your location your contacts phone status etc. 🙄 Why do they need my contacts. 🤨
I'm a Bose fan I have several products and I like them all. Including this! 😁 I like it because it's unique and it's good despite some things that I wish were better. Oh and phone calls are good. Person on the other end had no problem hearing me. They have something here that's an alternative to headphones and earbuds. They just need to improve on it. 👍
UPDATE: I use this all the time especially at night in bed. Gotta bump it up to 5 stars. It connects so easily and remembers several devices. I can have it connected to my TV and phone. If I receive a call I hit the BT button and instantly can take the call. When I'm done i can switch back just as easily. It's been a couple of years I hope they release a new version but not for $300. $150 is the most i would want to pay. Notice how they are selling better now at this price Bose? Or better yet just give us another firmware update with surround sound and booming Bose bass. 😎👍

Solo había visto reviews de estos audífonos y al verlos a mitad de precio regular me anime a comprarlos. La verdad que quede ENCANTADO!.
Tengo dos hijos pequeños en casa (6 y 3 años) , asi que usar el noise cancelling es estresante a veces por que tengo que estar checando constantemente si estan haciendo ruido (indicacion de que siguen vivos :P ) y rompe con la experiencia.
Al probar estos audífonos es como tener una bocinas en cada hombro, crea un sonido envolvente que con poco volumen es casi imperceptible para los que estan a 1 metro de distancia.
Al usarlos al máximo volumen todos al rededor escucharan lo que se reproduce, su volumen se compara al de una bocina promedio a bajo volumen. Pero ese mismo volumen para la persona que los esta usando lo sumergen en una experiencia similar a la de estar en un cuarto con un estéreo a máximo volumen.
Los bajos por default no son fuertes, desde la configuración del celular o dispositivo se puede intentar aumentarlos, pero ni en un telefono android o una ipad el aumento de los bajos fue muy notorio. Aun asi el sonido es nitido. Si lo que buscas es la sensación de bajos que te hagan retumbar, estos no son para ti, probablemente sean mejor unos beats.
Si lo que buscas es fidelidad y estar aware de tu entorno (volumen al 60-70%) sin sentirte desconectado por completo del mundo, esto audífonos cumplen por mucho su objetivo.
La carga de bateria tarda alrededor de 2 horas y media (depende de los watts de tu cargador, 2.4 en mi caso) y dura alrededor de un 10 horas, dependiendo del volumen al que lo utilices.
No sientes cansancio al usarlos, pero después de 4 horas llega a notarse el peso de los ... audífonos ?
Pros
+ Increíble nueva experiencia.
+ Fidelidad
+ Soporte tecnico y garantia
Contras
- Completamente dependientes de la bateria
- Precio regular demasiado alto
+- Se podría mejorar los bajos un poco (me gusta la electronica y en algunas veces es increible sentir los bajos tipo audífonos beats, pero para musica clasica, rock, los bajos son adecuados)
