PSA: Bose S1 Pro now ships with their $99 battery ... FREE
Two days ago it was a $99 optional extra.
But now Bose ships a FREE battery with every SR1. Up to 6 hours of full-volume sound. I give up. That's it. I can no longer resist. I had to buy one for my busking duties. Plus Sweetwater (actually their affiliate Synchrony Bank) offers 0% interest for 4 years, OAC of course. $12.48 a month! That's what a few drops of gas costs now Free shipping too. Give in. You know you want to. Resistance is futile. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...m-with-battery Last edited by Tico; 05-12-2018 at 02:55 PM. |

Bose finally realizing (most likely through lackluster sales or maybe online complaints?) that at the current price point they should have included the battery in from the get go instead of gouging us an extra $100. For those of that reluctantly paid this extra price it's a slap in the face. And their lame offer of a free backpack won't mitigate my discontent. I neither want to nor need a backpack case.
For those interested in this unit this might push them over the edge. It's still a good system (great system for our needs) as long as you use some sort of preamp. Also, for those still on the fence, don't forget that most places have great return policies so you can basically try these out for free and get a full refund if you don't like it or it doesn't meet your needs. |

Thanks for your continuing commentary on the S1. I used to cart around Voice of the Theater cabinets and horns. Downsized to 15"/horn cabinets. Then, the Bose L1C. Now, an S1 on order. Coming up next: the iPhone XII with "power speakers"! |

Zach is my sales rep. I sometimes find us chatting about gear and gigging an extra 10 or 15min just because. Pretty cool. He has also bent over backwards to hook me up when it’s reasonable - like price matching or honoring recently expired promo deals etc.

Tad was very complimentary regarding the S1, as well. |

That may be true for swwetwater, but for other stores it isn't. Besides that, stores like Thomann are raising the prices more than 10% for the S1 Pro.

That would be on them, not on Bose.
