A pain to setup on android . After 1.5 hours trying to set up via android I had cables needed to setup using win 10 laptop quick easy 5 minutes streaming from my 5 gig of mp3's on my NAS . Android a different deal entirely do yourself a favor setup using PC if possible then use android app to login and control music - still experimenting at 6:am on a Friday Blackberry Smoke, Bill Withers, Bad Co bet the neighbors luv me :) maybe a full five with a little more learning - did not call Crutchfield for support they likely would have saved me a few hours as they are always on top of their game since the 80's.

Great for Music Streaming

My Apple Airport Express finally pooped out after 15+ years of pretty good reliable service. It was used exclusively for streaming music to our home stereo system. When it died I panicked as I thought we wouldn't be able to stream music throughout the house on our non bluetooth system. After doing some research I found a few possibilities but went with Bose as our music system is an older Bose Lifestyle Home Theater System. The Bose option was more expensive but worth it. While the Airport Express did it's job it occasionally skipped in and out. The Bose Wireless Link adapter hasn't skipped once in the two weeks we've had it. The set up literally took minutes and was very easy. Glad I found this as we listen to music pretty much whenever we're home.

Bose SoundTouch Wireless Link adapter

I have an 1980s home sound system for which I wanted to enable satellite radio listening instead of purchasing a whole new system for this capability. This device enables me to do this and seems to work quite well thanks to the included cables. I gave it only 4-stars since I just recently purchased it and have not yet used it extensively to judge long term performance and reliability. I also tested this device on an old boombox radio as well as a job site radio for satellite radio listening. This device worked well in these applications so I might purchase additional units dedicated to these other radios.

Not for Everyone

This device probably works fine with some devices, but not with a Gen 1 Bose Wave Radio. Sound level through the auxiliary input is so low, you have to turn the volume wide open to hear anything and if you toggle back to the radio, you'll go deaf. Simple to set up, but doesn't work. I should have researched better. Lots of posts about the same issue.

I have an older Onkyo receiver that is set up with speakers inside, speakers by the pool and speakers by the hot tub. How awesome it was to simply hook up the Bose sound touch (which was simple) and be able to play music off my playlist on my phone immediately. Even better than that I didn't have to purchase a very pricey receiver or speakers.

good but

when you get it to connect works great but it looses the connection for no apparent reason to your phone which controls what your listening to .This can be and is annoying as it starts searching for your phone or it says speakerit eventually reconnects but can be many minutes before it reconnects.The only good thing is even though it says searching it will continue to play what ever your last selection was. So the music feed does not stop only problem is during this searching time you can not change your selection . Otherwise it does what it says and makes older equipment that works fine now internet ready.

This is the alternative to lousy BlueTooth.

I'm an audiophile. The Bose SoundTouch is an inexpensive path to true HIFI, assuming the rest of your system can deliver. Kicks serious butt on BlueTooth.

Use this to add wireless & Bluetooth to your old Bose Wave

This device is working perfectly for me to update an early generation Bose Wave CD player (with a supplemental 3-CD player). It was not a slam dunk: to attach the supplemental 3-CD player, the plug covers the Audio In port on the main player. My Crutchfield advisor Trish did the research and found that the RCA plug would do the trick when plugged into the AUX 1 ports of the supplemental player. Trish figured out what the reps at Bose couldn't /wouldn't!!! Setting it up was a breeze - it was operational in a matter of minutes. Be aware that the adapter needs power and has a power cord besides the connections.

Great product for my home audio system.

I love this product. I have it connected to my home's Russound speaker system throughout my house. The streaming features are way better than I expected. It's very responsive and easy to use. I had some setup issues, that prevented me from giving it the full 5 stars. From starting out with the wrong Bose apps to getting it set up on my wifi network. But now that it is working I am very impressed.

I listen to Bose SoundTouch products in multiple rooms, I really enjoy the app convience and music selection. I also listen to a nice tube amplifier and wanted a solution to connect with SoundTouch. Thanks to Crutchfields help this Bose link adaptor works seamless with my tube amplifier. Connection took five minutes, sound is really good for internet radio/Pandora. The dac in this link adaptor does a good job! I'm very satisfied with the ease to combine new technology with old school. Awesome!

The adapter functions well. The optical cable is a nice touch if you want some control what device handles the D to A conversion. The loss of one star is because of the app. Poor and confusing design. When your competition is Sonos and Yamaha you have to try harder! Not worthy of the great company that is Bose.

I'm listening to in-home music again!

I love this! I'd stopped using my receiver and cd player because my local FM is mostly talk, and you can only play cd's for so long... Streaming in the home, with all the genres, artists, etc. available for free is liberating. I may have to buy new speakers now! Big change for not much money. Crutchfield staff was excellent in listening to me and offering great advice. They didn't try to up-sell me. Only complaint is with the set-up directions. I don't think they were as clear and helpful as they could have been. Did take me a while to set-up and I did not contact Crutchfield. I wanted to do this myself. Once set-up it's everything I wanted.

Works great, excellent app

This device works great with my existing stereo, a looking me to access streaming music from the web ( other free and subscription services) as well as all of my music saved on a NAS drive (all in FLAC format - yes it plays FLAC files). Has a digital out and a fiber optic cable if your receiver is set up for that. One word of caution : Getting the device connected to your router may require you to connect to the device using your computer first, rather than the app. I had to connect to the device from my computer (wirelessly) then enter the wifi router info (name and password) in the fields that pop up after you connect to the device. Once I did this, I was able to use the app to add the device.

This is the product that I've been waiting for! I love being able to play the music stored on my phone/iPad and Pandora through my vintage stereo system that has Bose speakers. The sound produced with the bluetooth connection is simply awesome. The setup process using bluetooth is so much easier than setting up the wifi connection. Changing the wifi connection to a different extender is challenging.

Functional Device for Bringing Internet Radio to Older Tuners

Purchased for internet radio access with an older JVC tuner. Simple set up although the instructions included were bare minimum (need to download a manual from the company). Software needed updating at start. Initial connection to internet reasonably smooth although not sure how sensitive this device is to router signal strength. Have not tried Bluetooth connection. Software permits access to a reasonable choice of internet radio stations. Device allows pre-sets but the draw back is that you need to have the Sound Touch software active to operate the device; there is no remote control. For the price, I found this device worth it.

Love it! Accomplished exactly what I needed. I had a Logitech Squeezebox Touch which worked well through the years but then recently Spotify announced they were no longer supporting the squeezebox. I call Crutchfield and as usual got great advice which led me to the purchase of the Soundtouch Wireless Link Adaptor. Connectivity could not have been easier. The only shortcoming is Bose lack of any detail of how to utilize the app to control my stereo and link it to my Wave Soundtouch upstairs. One more call to Crutchfield and I was on my way. Very happy indeed!

Wish it wasn't so irritatingly complicated to set up.

I found the setup routine irritating and when I was done, discovered the Soundtouch software demanded both my Wave and the system I was driving with the adapter had to be playing together. I removed the adapter from the Soundtouch software and tried to set it up again but could not get it to work at all. I own several other Bose systems and find them all irritatingly complicated to set up.

Great Gadget --Instructions? Not so much !!

Let me say at the outset that this is a great gadget with one caveat....the instructions both with the device and available online are the most inscrutable and difficult to follow I have ever encountered. On the plus side, Bose has excellent phone support with humans to walk you through it. The system I wanted to use it with is a hard-wired (speakers), multi-room home stereo sound system. I have a strong home wifi and hoped I could hook the "puck" to it. Unfortunately, the instructions were of no help to do so. Fortunately, Bose as mentioned, has excellent product 1-800 phone support. The Bose tech confirmed that phone connection to Bose "puck" via WiFi was indeed possible and proceeded to walk me through it. Wow, what a difference!! I can walk around my house now, even out on the deck where I have outdoor speakers and the music is clear and unbroken. No way does Bluetooth have that range. Bose should do better on their instructions with detailed instructions for EVERY possible hook-up situation: wifi, Bluetooth, wired speaker system, Bluetooth speaker system. I am quite savvy with regard to computers and software but this installation really was confusing. As I said, now that the Bose "puck" is networked to my wifi as well as via Bluetooth, I can choose either one, however wifi is hands down better. It is a GREAT device and by far EXCEEDS my expectations. I only wish Bose had made it easier to install.

It's a great add on for my BOSE Wave system adding it to my SoundTouch group. However, I think it's a bit over-priced by the manufacturer for what it does. BOSE systems should have the capability already built in without having to buy more.

I have a Bose home theater and other Bose equipments in my house. I didn't want to get a new system to integrate my other Bose SoundTouch amp or speakers. The Bose SoundTouch Link is perfect.

Works as expected....

Use this to connect your receiver and wired speakers to a wireless system. I purchased the 2 pack Bose Soundtouch speakers and this adapter. You have to use an optical audio input so I used the "Game" input on my Onkyo receiver since I don't have any video games connected. You may experience the typical aggravations connecting to your house Wi-Fi, but after that, this is great. You can play your stereo and any Bose soundtouch speakers at the same time with the same music source. Control everything with a smartphone.

Awesome product. I had been planning to buy a full Sonos system that included several speakers and several CONNECT players. I was initially nervous about the Bose SoundTouch products because of how new and very little reviews on them. I'm so happy I chose Bose. The SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter was so easy to set up and it has worked to perfection. I bought 3 and set up to link existing sound systems (Home Theater, Bose 321 in bedroom, and TV sound bar on patio). In addition I added a Bose SoundTouch 30 in the Kitchen. When playing all together they sound amazing and are perfectly synced. Other advantages the SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter has over Sonos Connect is it connects to Bluetooth, much smaller in size, and much better price point. As for the SoundTouch App, it works great. Simple layout and easy to use. No issues so far.
