Is the Bose L1 worth it?
Such a common question, one that is asked all the time in various Facebook groups for Bose users, musicians and DJs.
Whether the Bose L1 is worth it depends on your needs and budget. It is a high-quality portable PA system that offers excellent sound quality and is relatively easy to set up. However, it is also quite expensive.
Here are some of the pros and cons of the Bose L1 to help you decide if it is the right system for you:
Pros:
- Excellent sound quality
- Amazing throw of sound
- Small footprint, low profile, and isn’t an eye-sore in any room.
- Wide coverage
- One size doesn’t fit all, so there are a number of Bose Professional portable options, be it for a DJ, solo musician, live band, dance school, and more.
- Portable and easy to set up
- Reliable warranty and local, personal support
- Variety of input options
Cons:
- It’s not cheap. Nothing good in life is cheap.
- Takes some getting used to compared to “traditional speaker on a stand” options.
If you are looking for a high-quality portable PA system that offers excellent sound quality and is relatively easy to set up, then the Bose L1 is a good option. However, if you are on a budget or need a system that can handle larger venues, then there are other options that may be a better fit.
Ultimately, the best way to decide if the Bose L1 is worth it is to try it out and see if it meets your needs.

Seeing it in a retail store doesn’t cut it, it simply doesn’t compare to giving it a go at a real event on stage, or in your usual practice room or studio.
