I have and prefer the original S1 because of the treble/bass/reverb controls, I know where they are and there's no need to have to bend over in dim light and see what function they're currently on.
This is a very good point. I feel a lot of companies are going for a ‘single pain of glass’ for controls and while nice it usually makes adjustments more complicated to make than less.
Agree!!!
All the way ! I never understood this upgrade ? It’s just for wireless situations ! Come on Bose give us a real upgrade like a larger version with more power ….. like the Everse 8
100% 👍👍. Nothing beats the original! Stupid upgrade ? Bose needs to make a big brother to the original S1 Pro 👍👍
Excellent job my friend. great production value. very informative. I've been on the fence on pulling the trigger. this helps
Glad I could help
I’ve had this item for a couple of years: this is an excellent review of the S1.
The S1 is a very solid unit!
@@23eightfivedo you know of they have ever offered updates on the S1Pro? Have to hook up to a computer, like with the Plus?
Fantastic professional quality review, especially for a non-musician. You spoke quickly, informatively, with logical points, no verbal diarrhea, "umm... basically..." etc. Thanks. Why the hell didn't they (again) include PHANTOM power for condenser mics???!
WE WANT PHANTOM POWER! ... WE WANT PHANTOM POWER! ... WE WANT PHANTOM POWER!
Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent review my friend. I have two S1Pro’s and I love them.
Thanks! 👍
Thank you for that recording feature info on the S1+. Didnt know about that, and that would be great for me.
No problem!
I just purchased the pro plus n the mic transmitter. My first Bose n I love it. It sounds so clear n loud. The mic transmitter works great. I’m just amazed how loud this small speaker is. I’m so satisfied with this model.
Great to hear!
I'm your 325 subscriber thank you!
Nonono, thank you!
This is a great analysis of these 2 products from Bose. I currently have the Bose S1. I am extremely happy with it. I do however love the additions made in the Bose S1 Pro +. I am just not sure if it is necessary for me to make the purchase. I am a Saxophonist/Trumper player. I don't want to have to spend time trying to become an audio engineer to get a great sound with my solo/band performances where we do not have a sound man. Thank you very much for this presentation!
I agree. I don’t think it’s worth the upgrade if you have the older versions.
@@23eightfivewhat if I wanna add another S1 to my old one. Which S1 is a wiser choice and why? Thank you
thanks for the heads up on the clicking, something the other reviewers have failed to mention. think I'll go for the non pro varient
While the clicking is very loud I wouldn’t say that’s a reason to not buy this unit simply because you don’t HAVE to turn the logo.
the knobs on the app dont require you dagging left or right. all you need to do is drag up and down. its the same behaviour for all phone apps
Does the channel 3 of Plus play BT and the TRS simultaneously? Or it plays only one of them like Pro does? Thank you in advance.
A truly excellent review! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Very good review. The Bose app volume can be controlled by moving your finger up and down on the volume control rather than a circular motion.
Thanks for that update!
4 hr transmitter... Will work. Most live gigs I play are 3.5 hours at the longest. Plug it back in during breaks. Should work for duration.
I guess I’m just always worried for that time I forget to plug it back in which is why I wish the batter time was a little more but I guess the unit does go in to sleep mode after so much time of not transmitting anything which should help.
The xlr output I believe is to connect there sub 1 or sub 2 to take advantage of the wireless setup
That is correct but you can also use it for other things as well from what I’ve seen.
I loved the sound comparison on this video
Hard to compare audio through your speakers on your phone/computer. But I can say the quality of the S1 Pro+ is as good or better than the S1 Pro.
Скажите пожалуйста , при отключении s1pro + и повторном включении , настройки частот на каналах 1 и 2 . Сохроняются так же как и были настрояны до того ? Сново не надо каждый раз после отключения настраивать звук?
Thanks for the review. I gig with an S1Pro daily. I have to use an impedance-matching transformer to get enough volume from my microphone. I've tried different mics, with the same results, way too low of volume output, and with no phantom power on either, I'm considering going to the JBL Compact. But, I really like the Bose. Any advice?
Unfortunately I never use a mic with the system so I am unfamiliar in this area.
@@23eightfive I have since purchased the S1 Pro Plus, and I can verify that the Plus has corrected the low output issue with the S1. Additionally, I can run another mic at full volume by using the third channel, with the 1/8" input to the XLR. I do find that the Plus has a bit different voicing. The Bluetooth control works nice, except the on the phone rotary controls are a bit odd. Thanks.
Original S1 can be connected to the bose app after firmware upgrade.
This is great. Any idea if this is allowable to carry on a plane as it weigh less than 7 kg? Thanks
First let me say this was such a great informative video. So thank you. I have 4 of the OG S1's I'm on the fence for the Plus models because of the cost.
Thanks for watching!
Best review I’ve seen!
Thank you!
Thank you for this. A convinced me to buy the bows.
Glad I could help!
Hey, great video! I’m a singer that performs with a big non electric piano. How can I record my audio exactly? Just thru the voice recorder app on my Mac? If yes would you still be hearing the piano?
Thanks🙏🏻
I'm deciding between buying the bose ultra bar or the bose s1 pro+, which is better? Which one has better sound quality? maybe you could make a video comparing these two units
I have the Bose soundbar 700 and 900 and I would say that they have very different use cases. The S1 is great to be portable because it has a battery and several different angles it can be set at. The soundbars are pretty static and do provide good sound quality but not sure I was use them for anything outside of my living room or bedroom.
Could you use the aux channel for acoustic guitar and then use the other 2 channels for mics?
I am using aux channel for acoustic guitar and channel one for vocal, leaving channel two open for an additional mic for when needed (I have a second vocalist that joins me when she can). This little unit is awesome, and I own both the Roland Cube Ex and the Fishman Loudbox Mini Charge. Personally I don't use the phone app, can use all the controls manually easily.
Actually the Bose S1 Pro does connect to the Bose connect app and that allows you to create a stereo pair between two units for Bluetooth streaming. Once they are
linked you can still use the two channels on each unit independently of the stereo pair. This is ideal for two musicians sharing a backing track.
for some mine cant connect anymore idk why its super annoying
It does not connect. I am so upset about this as I had to do an event and had that speaker ( the only one available that would ship over night) delivered on the day of and BOOM, I hit a wall.
Doesn’t connect to other Bose home speakers, just pairs s1 pros together
S1 Pro connects to S1 Pro. S1 Pro Plus connects to S1 pro Plus. S1 Pro does not connect with S1 pro plus. @@jrobledo3557
Great info here!
today, i bought newer verson s1 pro plus. i can't compare it with previous version s1 pro. but i can tell this s1 pro plus is very useful with app and sounds very natural. i have aer acoustic amp but bose s1 pro plus sounds more natural.
I agree with you
So what do you think is better?
@@garciascj8 I like it, very useful and sounds natural for acoustic guitar amp.
Yea, agreed, think I'm gonna sell my AER Compact Mobile 60/3, if anyone interested.
Very well spoken video
Thank you ford the feedback!
Have you checked out the Bose Sub2? I just bought one and it's insane how much louder and bassy these are with the Sub2. Definitely worth trying but the Sub2 is pricey.
I haven’t tried the sub2 yet but I’ll add it to my list!
Nice! How long have you been using it? Question can a feedback damage this speaker? I was connected to a laptop accidentally produced a strong loud feedback from mic, I wasn’t able to stop quickly maybe prolonged for about 3 seconds before the app limiter anti feedback got activated. I thought the speaker will explode 😂
It’s prone to feedback if you live in a small space with untreated walls.
I’ve been using this unit for a few weeks. I personally haven’t tested the unit in any feedback scenarios sorry.
I use the Bose Tonematch as a mixer for 4 S1 Pro speakers to get "stereo" output from my laptop. With this configuration, I connect a USB cable from my laptop to the USB port on the Tonematch. I can then connect one channel of the Tonematch output to one speaker, and another channel to another. Then use the speaker output 1/4 inch to a third and fourth S1 Pro speaker. The sound is amazing!!
Nice setup!
I saw that I cannot connect the Bose s1 pro and the Bose s1 pro plus wirelessly, can I connect them via cable so they will work properly together?
Probably through the S1pro+ 's LINE OUT and use an XLR to TRS cable or XLR to XLR from the S1 pro+ to S1
You should be able to connect this with a cable but I think Bose has fixed this issues with the Bose app and making a stereo pair based on some of the other comments.
Any work around for recording setup with the S1 pro?
What are you looking for?
Great video. I was wondering, can you pair the s1 pro with the s1 pro+ via Bluetooth?
Thanks
I have the same question! Does anyone knows if we can pair them both the same time?
You can connect both to the app now from what I’m told in other comments.
@@23eightfivecan you confirm this?
What about connecting it to mics?
Clicking of the logo betrays solid engineering - it needs to rotate, stay in position, AND it will not fall off :D
It would be nice to see this automated in some way
Does the wireless microphone transmitter have phantom power?
Get subscribed as I have a video coming out just on the wireless transmitters.
Funny T-shirt...hahahaha.... but what do you think would be better for busking? This or something like a Roland Cube Street EX? Cheers.!
I think they would both work well for busking. I’m not familiar with the Roland unit but I’ve been impressed with both these Bose units!
How about of pre amp of the Mics? Is better than the S1 Pro?
I have this question also
Well good for them for making the "+" a pound lighter and adding the 1/4" input on aux-in" channel(those are 2 improvements), but (for me) every other change made the S1 worse. Music equipment that needs to be hooked up to a phone or computer is annoying. I don't want to have to carry a computer or a smartphone with me when I go pretty much ANYWHERE, and especially don't want to have to use those things when I'm in the zone, playing music. Digital/LED lights+screens are a really awful new trend that backfires big-time when you take something outside on a sunny day and realize how difficult it can be to see the details outside. -and these battery powered speakers are meant to be used outside, right?.. so I hope they keep making the original S1.
You don’t have to use the app, but it does add some features you can do specially on the unit.
Can the old and new can be paired In party mode through Bose connect?
I’ve read not
@@james_flanagan they can’t
Can you do a review on the pro + as a karaoke machine?
How is the bass? Is it punch style bass or nice deep/mellow bass?
I had to play with my settings quite a bit but I would say it’s punchy but not too deep but that’s my personal opinion.
I use mine in stereo matched up on Bose connect.
This is something I’d like to try soon. Thinking about picking up another unit..
You need to get 2 transmitters and switch in between them.
The Bose logo needs to click louder. VW VR6 singing at 6,000rpm at 2am around a Sonic loud.
Oh I think they are plenty loud!
If you have an original S1, will it sync in stereo mode with the + via the Bose Music App?
@@vikes7384 Nope! Original s1 does not work with Bose Music app. Stuck in Bose Connect app
@@vikes7384 No
The most useless observation I've ever seen on a CZcams video....smh😂
I just want a small DJ “booth” monitor for mobile gigs. This thing fits the bill over my crappy Mackie SRM150.
This would make a great monitor!
Have you compared this against the electro voice everse 8?
I’m sorry I have not
Is it worth to upgrade from the pro to the pro+?
I would say if you already have the pro the + doesn’t add enough to constitute an upgrade. Just my .02
Love the S1!
Both units are great!
We have 1 s1pro,
I'm interested s1pro plus
Please sagese me both are concerned with bluethuth
You can connect both to the app now from what I’m told in other comments.
Im looking for just a good Bose Bluetooth speaker...is this overkill for me?
This is 100% overkill but it sounds amazing!
I got problems to conect the bose to the app, I been traying but not.
I would contact Bose. They are usually pretty helpful.
Great video. Clicking of Logo a deal breaker for me! :)
I'm not sure it's a deal breaker haha but it is excessively loud I think.
Para uso recreativo qual a melhor ?
They are both very good. I would get whichever you feel would best fit your needs!
Its a shame they not have 2 xlr out instead of using a y cable
It’s a shame that you cannot update the scenes unless you are connected to the speaker. That’s a big fail!
LOVE THE BUCKEYE CAP!!!
O H
Please pair both with blue though
I have not been able to do this in stereo pair yet but if I get it to work I’ll make a video on it.
The original Bose S1 Pro DOES connect to the Bose app. I have it and I’ve used it!
Can you pair the s1 pro to the s1 pro+??
You can connect both to the app now from what I’m told in other comments.
You’re a unit. Just kidding bro, nice review, very informative and helpful as a first model owner considering the Pro+. Thanks for the lowdown. Keep it easy on the units. . . .
Glad you liked it!
1:15.....the clicking of manually rotating logo is too loud....COMPLETE deal breaker. I was 100% going to buy this but not anymore with that loud click. I'm just messin around loved the video.
Thank you!
Did you sell the first model ?
I did
Hi! Which of the 8-inch or 6.5-inch battery-powered speakers can sound a city square near or at a great distance, like, for example, the Everse 8 in this street version? When a backing vocalist with a speaker is both nearby and from afar, his music is clearly audible. czcams.com/video/yoybdtGrRm4/video.html What else is similar to Everse 8? There is no need for a compact Jbl EON One. I have been using it for 3 years and have already sold it because it is twice as quiet as Everse 8. The speaker must be loud, compact and light so that the musician can transport it on a special cart (this can also be seen in the video). Will the 6.5-inch Bose S1 Pro Plus speaker be enough on such a city street czcams.com/video/uJeYJNi0bb8/video.html Where is another musician playing guitar and singing in Everse 8?
Will Phantom Powered Mics work with the Bose XLR Transmitter?
The faq says no, just dynamic mics
@@ddevienne Bummer. Come On Bose, Get with the program!
I bought a Xvive, single channel, rechargeable phantom power I use with mine. Extra cable, but it's great.
@@michaelmullins1290 Great Option but, Bose could have added that to S1 Pro+ considering the price you pay for one.
@@daflyinhawaiian2 it definitely could be added for the price.
Can you pair them?
Yes
What is the output watts?
I saw on Sweetwater or Musiciansfriend 150watts. First time I have seen it mentioned.
That's it?? Not dba ? Frequency response...? Just watts ?! Wow
@michaelmullins1290 that's not rms, it's peak
Can you use 1 s1 and s1pro + at same time?
I know you can do this with cables but as others have posted it currently isn’t supported in the Bose app.
wheres the xlr transmittter video?😅
Is coming. I’ve had some issues that’s prevented me from making videos unfortunately.
the crappiest thing about the Bose S1 pro and the Bose S1 pro plus, is that none are accepting phantom power in 2024 !!! that#s crap because the best acoustic guitars systems combine an internal condenser mic with a piezo, with these speakers you will be able to use only the piezo side of your acoustic guitar because of that and iI believe it sucks. #bose @bose
Excuse me its posibal pair bose s1 pro and bose s1 pro plus by bluetooh?
No
@@WWeiss-nv5vz thank very much
I have not been able to get this to work myself. Maybe Bose will have a update to their app to allow this one day.
how about via a cable? will left right function work?@@23eightfive
It's not a big change, they had to put in the mixer, delay, harmony.., They changed the buttons , that's all
The S1 Pro and the S1 Pro+ won't pair in party mode. Bose connect has all other Bose Bluetooth speakers but it does not list the S1 Pro+. That's such BS. Why would Bose do that?
Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought several people have stated Bose fixed this in a software update?
if you find it, let me know.
@@23eightfive
👍👍👍
Thanks!
speakers?
Yes, speakers!
The old Bose model is the best.
They are all good!
I put my s1 pro s on stands. No bending over
I do this too but unfortunately the strands I use are very high and i can’t reach the controls
Dump my S1 pros for everse 8, best decision ever made.. the effects bank alone on the everse are concert grade..
Thanks, I’ll have to take a look at this.
Don’t do it Everse 8 Suck
I’ll stick with my original S1-pro 👍. Faster and easier without the Led display 👍
Depending on how you’re using the unit the old controls could be beneficial.
One important factor, you would think both speakers would pair but they don't. That was a poor marketing stunt. I will never buy another Bose product unless this changes. I mean i understand not being able to pair with a different brand but it's literally the same speaker! Why would Bose do that? I'm mad as I had an event and went with the Pro Plus not even second guessing whether or not they would pair. I bought it as it was the only one that was overnight delivery and then I get hit with a wall. Thanks Bose
I think this has been fixed based on some other comments but I haven’t tested this myself.
if you it, please share. I called Bose and tech support said it can not be done.@@23eightfive
I hope you are right. Going to test it out. will get back to you
@@23eightfive
I have tested it out. I still can not link them via bluetooth. Bose connect has every other Bose speaker but the S1 Pro +. Real genius engineering guys.@@23eightfive
150 watts of power
He missed the mark completely by not giving details on sound difference versus options which he was more focused on.
The only reason I didn't go in to more detail on the actual audio output is how I use the unit myself. I did touch on my experience with trying to get the bass where I wanted though. But thanks for you feedback.
They sound great just not loud enough
I guess it depends on the setting you use them in. I’ve personally never needed to turn it up more than half way.
Definitely not for DJ use....
@@louhightower4141 absolutely you can use them for cocktail hour and smaller ceremonies
Noticing that these two can't both be on the same app? So annoying, the planned obsolescence.
That was one thing I didn't test before I got rid of my S1 Pro. But I've always had issues with my S1 Pro even connecting to the app.
@@23eightfive doesn't work
Really? The logo switch seems aggressive to you? Are you that fragile? 😂🤣
I just feel at this price point and a company like bose they could have done better!
Why would it evan be an issue seems petty to me
I actually really like the loud click of the logo, it sounds solid!
Click!
Thanks!
A s1 Original é bem melhor!
I wouldn’t say it’s better. I think they both have their place but the new one has some nice functionality.
👍♥️🇺🇸
Thanks!
Same crappy mixer as on the original S1 with some bells and whistles. That mixer sounds terrible!
I don’t think it sounds bad.
Yes
Please don't throw this speaker around..
Have you had issues?
They are the cheapest speakers u can buy in china.
people who slobber too much when they talk
Your going to squall about the clicking of the logo..really?
Have to complain about something 😂
i - o
Heck yea!
Why they always talking
?
You do know that you’re contradicting yourself in your own video lol maybe you should stick to the script instead of rambling on making yourself sound less knowledgeable. Let me explain in detail: first you state that the power switch is more complex and that’s the third option is speed charging the battery only and then you go on to say you have no idea why Bose implemented this feature. You just told us why! To speed charge the battery! Instead of using the extra power from the built-in supply to power of the music it can now go to charging the battery faster. How do you expect that to happen when the unit is on blasting music everywhere? Yes the battery will still get a charge but not as much because it’s leaking it will never fully charge. Also the power supply is rated to only put out so much power you’re not going to magically get extra power from out of nowhere. So the awesome adaptation of one extra position on the power switch to speed charge the battery just before a gig is brilliant and not complex at all you’re making crap up lol
Hey, I appreciate your response BUT the point I was making and I think you missed is the old model has this and the new model doesn’t require this. Also, 99% of other devices don’t need this. Example: any computer/phone/vape all understand when the device isn’t in use and then will charge the battery faster. So for the life of me I can’t understand why Bose decided to complicate something that’s been well established for decades. Nonetheless they removed this ridiculous ‘feature’ on the new model. Which was my point.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and always your feedback is appreciated!
@@23eightfive I would say every other device that doesn’t have a charge boost function is ridiculous again you contradicted yourself by saying that all these devices will boost charge when they’re not in use. First of all that is wrong it’s not boosting at all it’s charging normally. A boost charge is completely different much much much faster than regular charging. That’s why Bose installed it knowing that lots of professional musicians use these speakers and wanted to give them a way to quick charge them before gigs. If you can’t understand that and think that it’s ridiculous then your scope of vision is too narrow and you can’t comprehend other industries needs for features that you can’t conceive proper use of.that’s my point. Lol
Must be why they removed it on the new model, cause of how useful it was.
Appreciate your engagement. Have a nice day!
I've seen more than a dozen of these review videos. NO-ONE ever talks about how these work for VOCALS.
I’m sorry the reason I didn’t talk about vocals is I use this for playing music at tailgates.
