Bose
has
announced
a
new
addition
to
its
long-running
SoundLink
line
of
wireless
speakers.
Most
of
Bose’s
speakers
have
a
colorful
and
durable
design
that
shrugs
off
sand
and
water
during
an
afternoon
at
the
beach,
but
the
new
$219
SoundLink
Home
uses
materials
like
anodized
aluminum
and
a
fabric
speaker
cover
for
a
more
premium
appearance
designed
to
complement
the
home.
Battery
life
is
rated
up
to
nine
hours
after
a
four-hour
charge
through
the
speaker’s
USB-C
port,
which
doubles
as
an
audio
input
for
connecting
to
sources
like
laptops
with
a
cable.
The
SoundLink
Home
includes
support
for
Bluetooth
5.3
with
a
wireless
range
of
about
30
feet,
and
it
can
be
paired
with
other
SoundLink
Home
speakers
for
stereo
sound.
It
lacks
Wi-Fi,
however,
which
means
that,
unlike
other
Bose
speakers,
there’s
no
AirPlay
support
here.
The
Bose
SoundLink
Home
comes
in
cool
gray
or
light
silver
color
options.Image:

Although
designed
for
indoor
use,
you
may
want
to
avoid
using
the
SoundLink
Home
in
the
kitchen
because
it
lacks
any
dust
or
water
resistance.
It
does
include
a
microphone
so
you
can
use
it
as
a
speakerphone
or
to
interact
with
a
smart
assistant
on
a
connected
device.
The
SoundLink
Home
is
available
starting
today
through
Bose’s
online
store
in
either
a
neutral
cool
gray
or
light
silver
colorway.
Correction,
October
1st:
An
earlier
version
of
this
article
said
the
SoundLink
Home
can
be
paired
with
other
Bose
wireless
speakers
for
stereo
sound,
but
that
feature
only
works
with
the
Home
speaker
specifically.
