Bose has updated its BoseSmart speakers with support for Apple AirPlay 2.

We're excited to announce that AirPlay 2 is now available on your Smart Speakers and Soundbars! As many of you know, AirPlay 2 lets you stream music, podcasts and audio for video from any Apple device to your Bose product (including Apple Music!).

The company also confirmed that it still plans to bring AirPlay 2 support to SoundTouch devices.

"We know many of our SoundTouch customers are also eager for AirPlay 2 functionality on their speakers, and while today's announcement only applies to our smart speakers and soundbars, rest assured we are still working on bringing the feature to SoundTouch as well."

AirPlay 2 support will come via an over-the-air firmware update. The firmware version is 3.1.7 and it applies to the following three devices:

Bose Home Speaker 500
Bose Soundbar 500
Bose Soundbar 700
