Great news, Bose. We gave you the best feedback possible and you updated the app with the best features in the world. Now i feel like i did not threw away my money. Keep up the good job!

Appreciate it, waiting for firmware update also. Will give some feedback, as soon I got the update.

Is it possible that Bose changed the sound of the headphones by updating the application?
I'm asking because I think my 700 sounds a bit different - worse / cheap after this update...🤔

Hi!

So before the update on the 27th of April of the Bose Music app I was able to group speakers in the following sequence that is soundbar with bose home speaker 300 and bose smart portable speaker  and afterwards with simple link I connected revolve speaker. After the update I can only group or all the smart speakers or 1 smart speaker and 1 revolve speaker. Do you expect to fix this?

From the pictures you can clearly see that with

 new version it is unsupported.

Android version bose music app 4.4.4.

On the print screen I did not add revolve to the group sync then it is not visible what is in the group you can only end the whole group. But before the update it definitely worked.

The first picture is the new app and the second is the old app version. From the second you can see that it was possible to add bose revolve soundlink additionally to the Bose portable and bathroom speaker (both smart)

After the update, it seems the Bluetooth connectivity on my iPhone 12 Pro is improved but still occasionally fails to connect. When the problem happens, Bluetooth connected buy Bose Music isn't so my earbuds. I have one simple fix for every connectivity issue by disabling and enabling Bluetooth on my phone then manually connecting the earbuds.
