Bose home speaker 500 3,5 jaar gebruik in restaurant de portier in nijmegen, de speakers zijn nog zo goed als nieuw. Ze worden verkocht want we stappen over op een ander systeem. €200 per stuk, a
Compared with the obvious alternatives around this money, €200 is a fair-to-full asking price rather than a bargain. Your 1,171 comparable listings put the median at €111, with the upper quartile at €208, so this sits just below the expensive end of the normal used market. It would be easier to recommend at €150–€175, unless the condition and accessories are especially good.
The Bose earns its appeal through broad, room-filling sound, a clear midrange, useful bass-and-treble adjustment, and unusually capable voice pickup. Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, presets, and line-in make it a convenient one-box system rather than merely a wireless speaker. It is a good fit for casual listening and mixed household use, though deep bass is not its strongest suit and maximum-volume compression is possible. At €200, confirm clean operation, working microphones, display, app setup, and the original power cable.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bose Corporation traces its roots to 1964, when MIT professor Amar Gopal Bose founded the company in Natick, Massachusetts, after growing disillusioned with the poor performance of a high-end stereo system he purchased as a graduate student. Driven by a passion for replicating the immersive qualities of live music through rigorous acoustic research, Bose launched the venture with initial contracts for the U.S. military and NASA, emphasizing innovative speaker designs that prioritized indirect, reverberant sound over direct radiation. This American heritage, rooted in psychoacoustics and engineering excellence, has defined the brand's pursuit of "Better Sound Through Research."
Bose excels in consumer and professional audio categories, renowned for its home audio systems, premium speakers like the iconic 901 Series, and pioneering noise-canceling headphones first prototyped in the 1980s for pilots. The lineup extends to vehicle sound systems, portable Bluetooth speakers, and professional installations, but steers clear of niche hi-fi components such as amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or cables, focusing instead on integrated, user-friendly solutions that blend advanced signal processing with spatial audio reproduction.
Positioned as a premium mid-tier powerhouse in the global market, Bose commands widespread appeal among discerning buyers seeking accessible high-performance audio without audiophile esoterica. Its reputation for innovation and reliability has built a loyal following, though purists occasionally critique its measured sound signature, cementing Bose as a dominant force in mainstream hi-fi rather than high-end boutique or vintage realms.
