Customer Ratings & Reviews

I thought by purchasing the Bose surround sound speakers would add the wow factor. I was very wrong about the Surroundsound speakers. I would not recommend them.

Great surround speakers. Only issues I have is trying to conceal the wires that you have to connect from the power box, along with trying to conceal the big power box and transmitter

QUICK TAKE The Bose Surround speakers are add-on products to select Bose Soundbars. They add a new dimension to the sound experience especially when the movie or TV show has a dedicated surround soundtrack. However, you might get subtle unexpected audio during programming that is not optimized for surround. And the Bose Surround speakers are small, attractive, and mighty. DESCRIPTION The surround speakers are small and can blend easily in any room. They produce impressive sound which continues Bose reputation for impressive audio reproduction from tiny devices. Build quality is very nice. Hefty, but not heavy. And the bottom has a non-slip foot to keep each speaker in place while eliminating vibration. The surround speakers are wireless from the soundbar to the surround receivers. From those receivers to the actual speakers, they are wired. And each receiver requires its own power source. And each receiver has a switch to make it either right or left surround position. SETUP & BOSE MUSIC APP The setup process started off a bit frustrating. The instructions referred me to the smartphone app. The smartphone app found the speakers but then offered no setup guidance. I figured it out after just a few minutes, but I was disappointed. To summarize proper setup: Place the speakers where you want them, place the wireless receivers where you want them, cut the speaker wire to your preferred length from the receivers to the speakers, attach the wires to the speaker adapters, and plug the adapters into the speakers (you need a small screwdriver to connect the wires to the adapters). All of this might sound obvious, but cautious DIYers are not fans of ambiguity. Use the Bose Music app to connect the surround speakers to the soundbar. The process was automatic and went smoothly. The ADAPTIQ audio calibration detects and configures the satellite speakers for optimal performance. PERFORMANCE The sound reproduction is really impressive for such small speakers. During movies and sports, they added a fun, new dimension to the audio experience. For some programs, I noticed some irregular use of the rear channels. Voice tracks during a few programs would be present in the surrounds on and off during the same dialog scenes. This is not Bose's fault, nor was it actually all that distracting. It was just something I noticed. The Bose Music app allows you to adjust the volume of the rear channels so you can achieve your best surround experience. Or you can simply turn them off in the app. CONCLUSION They might not be perfect, but the Bose Surround speakers are wonderful additions for a Bose soundbar. They put you right in the middle of the action while the speakers themselves practically disappear in your room's background. If you're looking for a simple solution to a surround sound experience, then be sure to consider these.

I am so disappointed this soundbar. The sound is very low and don't feel like a surround I know and besides the is very small and kinda look cheap.

Ended up returning and purchasing new- was missing a wire

This is what I expected from bose. Only this you need to take care of is to increase the rear speaker volume from the application so that you can hear it properly.

These are very nice speaker. The only problem is that the volume is too low even when You set it to max

Hard to tell sometimes that there even there. The power supply is bigger then the speaker so make sure you have something to cover it with

Thought these would give me similar surround sound. They don't. Barely hear them at all

Only bad thing about these speakers is that they cannot be adjusted. Other than that they are a great add on! Gives the extra little bit to the speaker.

not that loud was expecting more out of a BOSE product

I expected much more from them, they practically go unnoticed.

This item was compact and small as far as the speakers go. However, the cords that connect the speakers and the adaptor piece do not make these speakers wireless.

Great for watching movies/ sports is surround sound they come alive. Stand alone for music they aren’t that impressive

I was never sure they even worked because I could never hear a sound come through. Not until the dogs would run towards one of them if a door slammed on whatever I was watching did I decided to keep them just in case it’s me and not the speakers themselves. Music does not play through them at all

Could not use these because the soundbar 900 i bought was broken out of the box and bose and best buy wanted to charge me to look at it and fix it. Not impressed with bose or best buy. I should not have to pay to have something fixed out of the box. Best buy could be more helpful.

Pain in the butt to hook the the sound bar, THE WORST APP!! Get something else

When I opened the box and saw all the included wires I returned these and the accompanying sound bar.

Can someone answer this-the BOSE website says its compatible with the Smart soundbar 300, but when I ordered these and reviewed the instructions, it only mentions the Soundtouch 300 soundbar-if it is not compatible with the Smart soundbar, BOSE-please update your website-very disappointed.

The only flaw is that you can't control the volume of the speakers.
