Suck software
I bought this a month ago and I’m so disappointed. I’ve never been so disappointed in Bose in my life. Poor software, poor help and poor performance. EVERY time I turn them on, I have to reset and reprogram and now I’m ready to toss them. Sonos here I come.

will not finish the update after download.
I have bought the set of two and one was found right away, yet the oter one was very stubborn and goes through the find, update download, and then says 15 minutes to completion. I get the flashing white light and it never quits.

Good speakers. Bose delivers again.
The quality of these speakers is very good. I did notice that the definition comes when you play it louder. I also think they look good! Smaller than I thought they would be, but that's not necessarily a bad thing!?

Connection Issues
The speakers always lose Airdrop connection. Every time I turn them on it’s a matter of when, not if, they will stop playing. Then they need to be unplugged and plugged back in to reconnect. Outlets aren’t always in the easiest locations to access. Very annoying for such an expensive product. It would be nice if you could reset them through the app. That way I could put the speakers where I want and not have to worry about accessing them. I would not buy again or recommend.

Connectivity
Individually the speakers work great. I have a hard time keeping the speakers paired. I have updated my Wi-Fi to a stronger unit. I have great reception. After about 6 songs one speaker will cut out. Then I have to go to the process of installing each speaker and pair them up again. It has happened to me the last three times I have had the system on. I is quite frustrating.

Doesn’t connect to Bose 600 sound bar
A ball is 600 sound bar and an ultra LS speaker were purchased to replace my existing Sonos system. However, after receiving the sound bar and the speaker I found that in the Bose app, it says some speakers cannot connect or be linked in the Bose app.. VERY FRUSTRATING especially after the amount of money I invested… I should’ve stayed with my Sonos equipment because it sounded just as good!

Great Features
I bought this speaker in June. I purchased this as a replacement to my SoundTouch 20 as I was unable to utilise my internet radio stations that I had preset. Although I was dismayed, the Ultra speaker has proven to be a winner for me. Nice and compact and the sound is awesome.

Perfect stereo pair
I am glad I made the purchase of a pair of the Lifestyle Ultra speakers. Great sound and excellent bass from a small form feature that fits the room well. The app is just enough to control the sound experience too.

Great sound tricky set up, pairing issues
Sound is great, style is beautiful, the problem is that the set up is tricky, takes long, especially when you try and pair two of them. After pairing the two initially, they are now both playing at a different echo and that’s annoying. I have yet to reset the 2nd speaker so I can start enjoying the sound of the two paired speakers again, the main reason I bought them. Overall Bose hasn’t improved in their ability to make the set up of their products easier for their customers which is disappointing.

Bad connectivity, sync and app
Sound is good. App is terrible and connectivity works only half the time. And after a few days, the paired speakers are out of sync by half a second.
