Bose Surround Sound System for Home Theater, Black

These Bose surrounds are incredible. I have been an audiophile since the 80's I set up an early 5.0 speaker surround system in the late 70's. There was no subwoofer at that time but the 5 channels sounded fantastic. This was around the time that tv channels started to broadcast in stereo. My first movie I watched was 2001 A Space Odyssey and I was hooked. Over the years I have built many systems from various different receivers and speakers and subs. About 5 years ago I wanted to make that leap from big receivers and speakers and subs to sounders. I had different ones, Hissence, Polk, and even went the full range and got the Sonos Arc, Era 300's, and the sub mini for my theater room. The Sonos system was good but it had a few issues, some audio dropouts, clicking noises with the Era 300's and the worst was the harsh and rough dialog. I could only understand half of the dialog. I tried all of the voice enhancers and unplugging and replugging, resetting the app. Nothing worked. Then I researched Bose. I always heard that they were very high quality and exceptional. So I decided to pick up the Bose 600 Soundbar. I got a small sale on it and I it included TRUE Dolby Atmos. I moved the Sonos Soundbar into my bedroom and it sounds great in there by itself. Then I hooked up the Bose 600. No fuss no muss. Plug it in, HDMI from Earc on tv to Earth on the Soundbar. Download the app and everything connected within 5 minutes. But when I put on my favorite series, which I always had to use captioning, WOWWW. With the built in True Space technology and voice clarity Ai, I was able to understand every word. I couldn't believe it. So I decided to order these surround speakers. I am waiting on the Bose 500 bass module, for now. It took about 20 to do some small wiring and connecting with the Bose app and the surround sound is fantastic. I don't understand where many reviewers are not happy with the volume. You don't want the volume louder than the Soundbar and the surround is just right for me. They are both evenly balanced with good clarity, and totally immersive. I am very happy with Bose. Sorry Sonos. I highly recommend these speakers and hope for many years of home theater enjoyment.

This past December, I decided to splurge on a new TV, soundbar, and rear speakers, as all of mine were 11 years old. I’ve had hearing aids for the past two years (my audiologist says I’m his youngest patient - ugh); my old soundbar didn’t have a dedicated speaker for dialogue, plus the rear speakers I had just made everything louder, not sharper, and I need sharpness to help with the type of hearing loss I have. As a public school teacher, the cost of this entire purchase was a big deal, so I researched the hell out of everything, and I kept coming back to Bose. I bought the black soundbar at Costco, and I wanted white rear speakers since they’d be in front of the white wainscoting. The soundbar itself is fantastic — a huge improvement over what I had before — and the rear speakers are what really bring everything to life, especially when I’m not wearing my hearing aids. I get to hear doctors being paged when watching The Pitt, gunfire in the distance while watching Paradise, birds chirping in Wicked, and so many other noises in other shows and movies that round out the viewing experience. Two important things: 1. You pair the speakers and control their volume through the Bose app. Mine are at 80, and the “height” channel on my soundbar is at 20. You’ll figure out the right ratio for you. 2. I have a very small TV room, and my rear speakers are on the Bose stands (a bit pricey but I kept them anyway) right behind the couch. I can’t speak to what the sound would be like in a much bigger room with these mounted on the wall, but I’m sure they’d be great. I could do that setup with hearing aids in, but they probably wouldn’t help me in a big room if my hearing aids are out.

These small surround speakers create awesome bass. I was totally caught off guard when I added Bose II rear speakers to my Bose 600 soundbar and 500 Bass Module, the most noticable difference was enhanced bass. I think it's a sound wave thing. Anyway, I love the room filling sound (medium sized family room) these little speakers produce. Setup was very easy using the Bose Music App. They are a bit pricey, but I got them as a birthday gift; I'm not sure I would have bought them if I had to pay for them. I recommend you purchase them through a military exchange if you qualify because they offer a much better discounted price. I might be a little OCD, but I replaced the black power cords with white ones to match the color of the speakers.

Wasnt hearing rear speakers at first. Downloaded test program and worked fine. need to turn down front volumes to hear rear better. I do like them but cost is out of site.

Very disappointed!!! Certainly not to Bose standard. The set up was pretty simple, pairing with the sour bar 700 took a few minutes, however once set up there was virtually no sound. Using the Bose app I brought the level up to 100, not much better. I mostly listen to music and not very interest in the theatre surround sound. With the soundbar on, I turned off the surround sound speakers no change. I could not tell if they were actually working. I attempted to do the ADAPTiQ, it would only pick up one of the speakers and then told me there was too much noise. I was the only one in the room. I attempted several times and a failure message continued to prevent completion of the iQ check. I spent 4 hours with a Bose technician, no help. Buyer BEWARE there is a scam company who portrays themselves as Bose techs ASK-CREW.COM. Their tech did walk me through the steps. The same steps as the Bose tech, but it cost me $38. Save yourself time and money - DON’T BUY these horrible speakers!!!!!

Love this addition to my Bose soundbar! The sound is excellent for such a small package and it completes our home theater experience. The only nit is connecting the speaker wire to the adapter that plugs into the back of the speaker, its super fiddly and uneccessary IMO. Why not ship that cable presassembled? This seems made to appeal to “real” audiophiles from 1987. And yes, that would be me…but I’m older & wiser now…I see how silly I was amd now just want an Easy Button for everything. Bose can do better, make it easy…especially for older customers like me to enjoy your product. Anyway, overall assembly was easy and sound quality is great and we are very happy! RECOMMEND!

Bose is pure quality

Good: Fantastic, immersive sound (with rear surrounds), very boomy when coupled with the Bass Module 700. Solid design, easy to use remote control (thing is a heavy brick though...RF connected though, not IR). Good music streaming options. AdaptIQ optimization is great, makes the sound pop in five different seated areas, great for home theater. Don’t need to drag any cables anymore! Bad: I had some problems with the one I bought, lots of intermittent interference on the wireless channels (sub and surround). Trouble shooting says you can run a wired connection to the bass module but I’m not going to do that for a system that totals nearly $2K when it’s supposed to be wirelessly connected and only 4’ from the sound bar. The interference was kind of a low “bubbling” sound. A friend brought his own same system over and it seemed to work fine, so maybe I had a defective unit. Set-up is physically very easy, just put everything where you need it, plug it in, run the app on your phone; however, sometimes not all the components are detected right away, so I had to cycle power a couple times. The HDMI port is at a 45 degree angle, rather than straight in, you end up having to bend your cable quite a bit if it’s coming from the wrong angle, or you’ll need more slack in your cable. The meh: it connects with Alexa pretty easily, but you can’t add it to your “everywhere group”. So if you want whole house music with that playing, you’re out of luck. The Alexa microphone is really sensitive, too, you’ll find it dominates your wake-up word even if you’re standing closer to an Alexa-enabled device.

I have never given a product 5 stars until now. I bought the Soundbar 500 with the bass module and have owned that now for a few years. The sound was good, but not as good as my KEF LS50W2, which is the top HiFi wireless powered speaker. And then I decided to get the satellite speakers. They are not very powerful. They have no bass, only treble. And played on their own, sound terrible. BUT! I placed them behind me as recommended, left and right. And with the soundbar in front. I played hi definition music from Tidal, and my god, I was brought to tears because the sound was so beautiful. For 3 nights in a row now I sit in the perfect spot in my chair and just listening to a song is an emotional, moving experience.

¿El tamaño importa? La respuesta para este producto es no. Que las dimensiones de los Speakers Surround 5.1 de BOSE no te engañen, sí ya cuentas con alguna barra de sonido BOSE compatible (en mi caso el modelo 900) vas a convertir tu habitación en una auténtica sala de cine, ya que cuentan con una excelente tecnología para exprimir los sonidos ambientales con la mejor calidad de audio; la correcta colocación y altura (dependiendo del área personal) es importante para una mejor experiencia, pero igualmente puedo asegurar que no te arrepentirás de añadir estos Speakers a tu barra de sonido ya que creará una impresionante atmósfera de sonido.

Tenía mis dudas sobre adquirir estos altavoces por el precio y lo que podía esperar de ellos por comentarios leídos. Ahora que me anime considero que es la mejor compra que he hecho para complementar mi equipo soundbar 500. Cambia por completo la experiencia de ver películas y conciertos con su sistema envolvente. El sonido y nitidez en la sala de tv, me encantaron!!!! Solo aconsejo en la aplicación bose music después de instalados hacer el proceso de ADAPTIQ para calibrar y optimizar todos los altavoces.

Great product, such discreet speaker with huge sound! Huge difference to my sound! Great customer service as first package was previously opened and parts missing. Easy return and easy replacement!

Super padrisimo una fidelidad excelente con el bajo y barra se lo recomiendo
