The most compact member of the new Bose Lifestyle Collection is the new Bose Lifestyle Ultra Speaker. This traditional smart speaker delivers audio through two front-facing drivers and one upfiring driver. It features an understated look with a knit fabric grill, touch controls, and a radial slider for volume. This audio device works as a standalone smart speaker with Alexa+ compatibility, or you can pair it with another unit for stereo audio. It can serve as the rear speakers for your Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar.

The Bose Lifestyle Ultra Speaker requires a wired power source and supports Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi, and a 3.5mm auxiliary port for connecting with analog devices, like a turntable. Bose also packs in its audio technologies like TrueSpatial and CleanBass. It retails for US$349 (around CA$475) and will be available starting May 15 in Driftwood Sand, Black, and White Smoke.
