Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker is available at Mascom International for KSh 32,000, brand new and sealed, with Bluetooth 5.3, a USB-C audio input, stereo pairing and up to 9 hours of battery. Made by Bose for indoor listening, the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker pairs a woven fabric front with a metal frame and a slim stand, so it looks at home on a bookshelf, a work desk or a bedside table. It weighs under 1kg and runs on its own battery, so you can carry it from the kitchen to the bedroom. Hear it for yourself at our showroom on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for executives, lawyers, accountants, developers and anyone who works from a home office across Kenya, the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker is a desk speaker first. Laptop speakers sound thin and tinny, and bulky hi-fi systems eat space in a Kilimani apartment. The Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker solves both: plug it into a laptop by USB-C for wired audio, or stream from your phone over Bluetooth. Pair two units for true left and right stereo across a living room. The built-in microphone also handles calls and voice assistant commands.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push loud party speakers, Mascom International stocks the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker for buyers who want clean, balanced sound at a sensible volume. At Mascom International, we're seeing professionals in Westlands and Upper Hill choose it for home offices and study rooms. Customers across Nairobi tell us they like that it sounds full without rattling the walls at night. Visit us in Nairobi CBD to hear it beside other Bose speakers, or order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya, with a 12-month warranty included.
Common Questions About the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker
How much is the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker in Kenya?
The Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker costs KSh 32,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed. That price includes the speaker, a USB-C to USB-A cable and a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. A wall charger is not in the box. Delivery is pay-on-arrival to all 47 counties, so you pay only after checking the unit. The Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II sits at the same KSh 32,000 if you want an outdoor-ready alternative.
Can I connect the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker to my laptop with a cable?
Yes, the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker has a USB-C audio input, so a laptop can play through it over a single USB-C cable. That avoids Bluetooth lag during video calls, Netflix or YouTube on a MacBook or Windows laptop. It suits a home office or a student desk at Strathmore or USIU. You can still switch to Bluetooth for music from your phone, and the speaker remembers paired devices for quick reconnection.
How long does the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker battery last?
The Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker plays for up to 9 hours per charge, based on Bose testing at half volume over Bluetooth. That covers a full working day of background music at a desk. It charges through USB-C, and Bose recommends a 5V 1.5A supply, which most phone chargers exceed. Playing louder or keeping it in a hot room shortens run time, so plan on a top-up each evening if you use it all day.
Is the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker good for Kenyan homes with power cuts?
Yes, the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker runs on its internal battery, so a KPLC outage does not stop the music. With 9 hours per charge, it covers most evening blackouts in Nairobi, Nakuru or Kisumu. You can also charge it from a power bank or a solar kit with a USB port. Note that it has no water or dust rating, so keep it indoors and away from open windows during rain or dusty dry seasons.
Should I buy the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker or the Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II?
Choose the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker for a desk or shelf with USB-C audio; choose the Revolve+ II for outdoor and all-round sound. Both cost KSh 32,000 at Mascom International. The Home uses newer Bluetooth 5.3, charges by USB-C and accepts wired laptop audio. The Revolve+ II offers 360-degree sound, up to 17 hours of battery and IP55 water resistance, making it the better pick for gardens, patios and travel.
Can I pair two Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speakers for stereo?
Yes, two Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speakers can be paired in Stereo Mode, with one playing the left channel and the other the right. Set on either side of a TV or desk, they give a wider sound than a single unit. Stereo Mode works only between two SoundLink Home speakers; it does not link with other Bose models or SimpleSync. Pairing is done with buttons on the speaker, since it does not use the Bose app.
Does the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker work with the Bose app?
No, the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker does not use the Bose app or the older Bose Connect app. Everything runs from the buttons on the speaker and your phone's Bluetooth menu. That keeps it simple for older relatives or shared family use, with no account or app setup. The trade-off is no adjustable EQ, so you cannot tune the bass or treble yourself. It works with any Android phone or iPhone on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya or Telkom.
Who should buy the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker and who should skip it?
The Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker suits home-office workers, students and anyone wanting a good-looking speaker for a desk, bedroom or study. It is a strong fit if you want wired laptop audio without extra adapters. Skip it if you plan to take it outdoors, to the beach or near a pool, because it has no water protection. The IP67-rated Bose SoundLink Flex, also in stock at Mascom International, handles those conditions for less money.
Technical Specifications
Audio Hardware
- Two custom transducers paired with dual passive radiators give fuller bass than you would expect from its size.
- Sized for a desk, bedroom or study, it fills a small room clearly without needing high volume.
- Tuned for clear vocals, so podcasts, Zoom calls, YouTube lectures and news broadcasts stay easy to follow.
- Stereo Mode with a second SoundLink Home speaker splits left and right channels for a wider sound stage.
- Balanced sound at moderate volume suits apartments, hostels and offices where loud bass would bother neighbours.
Wireless Connectivity
- Bluetooth 5.3 gives a stable connection and lower power use with current phones, tablets and laptops.
- Multipoint lets two devices stay connected at once, so you can switch from a phone to a laptop quickly.
- Works with any Bluetooth phone, from budget Android models to current iPhone and Samsung Galaxy handsets.
- No app required: pairing, volume and playback all run from the speaker buttons and your phone's settings.
- Not compatible with the Bose app, Bose Connect or SimpleSync, so it cannot group with other Bose speakers.
Battery
- Up to 9 hours of playback per charge at moderate volume, enough for a full working day at a desk.
- USB-C charging port means the same cable that powers most current phones also charges the speaker.
- Bose specifies a 5V 1.5A, or 7.5W, supply, which any standard phone charger from Mascom International meets.
- Plays while charging, so it can stay plugged in on a desk all day without running flat.
- Can run from a power bank during KPLC outages, keeping music or meetings going through a blackout.
Build and Durability
- Metal frame with a woven fabric front gives a finished look that fits living rooms, bedrooms and offices.
- Integrated frame doubles as a stand and carry handle, keeping the speaker upright on shelves and desks.
- Measures about 21.6cm wide, 11.2cm tall and 5.8cm deep, a footprint smaller than a sheet of A4 paper.
- Weighs about 0.88kg, light enough to carry from room to room but stable on a shelf.
- No water or dust rating, so keep it indoors, away from rain, kitchen splashes and open dusty windows.
Controls and Inputs
- Top buttons control power, Bluetooth pairing, volume, play and pause, and access to your phone's voice assistant.
- USB-C audio input plays sound directly from a laptop or tablet, avoiding Bluetooth delay during video calls.
- Built-in microphone takes hands-free calls and triggers Siri or Google Assistant on the connected phone.
- The same USB-C port handles both charging and wired audio, so you need only one cable at your desk.
- A dedicated button sets up Stereo Mode with a second SoundLink Home speaker without any app.
Package Contents
The sealed box holds the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker, a USB-C to USB-A cable and a printed safety sheet. A wall adapter is not included, so plan to use an existing USB phone charger or a laptop USB port. Mascom International stocks compatible USB chargers and USB-C to USB-C cables separately, which also let you connect the speaker to newer laptops for wired audio.
Warranty
The Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker ships with a 12-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. If a fault occurs, return the speaker with your receipt to our service desk in Nairobi CBD, where our team handles the claim with you in person.
