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.

The surround speakers were very easy to setup and connect to the Bose Soundbar. The combination of speakers provides great sound in my 14' x 16' room.

Love the speakers, don't love no brackets.

Be very careful with this product. The first thing to understand is that speakers are suddenly complicated, you don't just plug them in anymore. If you don't pay attention you miss the fact that the speakers are useless by themselves, they have to connect to a soundbar via Bluetooth. To further complicate the conversation, not all of the Bose soundbars work with the speakers and documentation showing which ones do and don't seems to be missing. So its super easy to buy the wrong sound bar (like I did). Now I have $1,000 invested in speakers that I can't get to work and I am so annoyed and frustrated I am going to go buy a different brand and never pay a premium for this mess again.

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.

Para muchas personas que han comprado estos excelentes parlantes surround y se han frustrado al instalarlos y no escuchar lo que esperaban, les comento que me paso lo mismo, hasta que me di cuenta que lo que sucedia hera que la reproduccion no se encontraba en el formato de sonido 5.1 que es el indicado para estos parlantes , al escoger este formato fue increible experimentar el maravilloso sonido enbolvente, suerte.....

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!

¿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.

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

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.

They sound amazing! Took me 3 months to figure out how to get them to stop disconnecting. All I did was disable earc mode on my tv and they work flawlessly without any static or disconnecting. They're very good
