Bose is no stranger to wireless speakers, but the Lifestyle Ultra Speaker arrives with a different intent than the company’s previous models. Part of the same Lifestyle Collection as the Ultra Soundbar and Ultra Subwoofer, it's not only conceived as a starting point for something bigger — a speaker you build a surround system around — but there’s a focus on design.
At £299.95, it’s the same price as the latest portable Sonos Play (if you're in the habit of comparing Sonos vs Bose), nestling between the Sonos Era 100, which is £100 cheaper than both, and the Sonos Era 300, which is more expensive at £449. The Lifestyle Ultra Speaker, therefore, very much positions itself as a premium smart speaker designed for home use.
