    SoundTouch Update Resolves Volume Issue

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I read previous reviews stating that the volume cannot be changed with these speakers. As of February, an update to the SoundTouch app gives the user the ability to change the center channel and the surround volume independently to resolve this issue and it definitely does help the experience. Speakers sound great with the soundbar and sub-woofer. So definitely get them, you won't regret it.

    Too Little Too Late

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Very disappointed with the Bose Surround Speakers. I purchased the 900 soundbar and the 700 bass speaker and have found them to be excellent. However, the surround speakers do not generate enough background sound to make the purchase worthwhile. There are a very limited number of broadcasts where the speakers even provide sound. I would not purchase again and I would not recommend.

    Best of Best

    I bought Bose soundbar 300, Acoustimass 300 sub last week. Even though the sound was good with only those two I thought of add virtually invisible 300 yesterday. Woow.. it made a huge difference. I would say this is the best Home theater system I have ever had. Enjoy every bit of it.

      Thanks for your review. If you hear nothing from your Surround Speakers, then they aren't necessarily broken. You'll need to play content in 5.1 format in order to hear sound from the Surround Speakers. Our support team is always happy to provide assistance, if needed: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

    I purchased these with the sound bar and sub, I was not sure if I would keep them. After watching a few movies and hearing actual sorround again, am just in love with the entire system.

    No Instructions, Wrong Power Cords

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    For a Bose Soundbar 700 you are supposed to follow the app instructions for setting these up. Step one of those instructions say to plug them in, but absolutely no instructions on exactly how to do that. You might think, well that's easy - just plug the power cord into the back of the speakers, dummy. Nope, the power cords do not fit into the speakers. They instead fit into adaptor boxes that come with the speakers. Well, per the very sparse printed instructions those boxes are for the 300 system, not the 500 or 700 systems. If Bose cannot even explain how to set up their own products then I am not going to try figuring it out on my own, especially after already having spent 5 hours on a disappointing soundbar and subwoofer. This is going back to the store.

    Low poor quality sound

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased these surround speakers to add another aspect to the already superb tones coming out from the soundbar 300. Apart from the bulky power supply and wireless adaptor which I was prepared for, the overall sound quality and level of sound coming from these surround speakers is way below my expectations. What sound that comes out is tinny and lacks any real punch and clarity. Contacting Bose direct to pass on my concerns has not changed anything, my suggestion of 'tricking' the adaptiq setup by placing a cloth over the surround speakers in order to raise the volume was accepted as a possible remedy and did help slightly. The 300 soundbars superior surround sound quality simply drowns out anything the virtually invisible 300's can dish out which for a Bose product is rather disappointing. I will be returning these and putting the proceeds towards the bass module which has proven results.

    Not fun to set up

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased these along with my Soundbar - After I did all the set up for the soundbar, I set up these speakers only to realize I needed to do the set up again... I'm not sure why Bose would do this, but the wires come seperate from the speakers and you have to put the wires in this adaptor and then screw them in place and then plug it in the speaker. When the consumer pays this much money for the product I would think it would be more of a plug and play concept. I biggest downside goes along with my other review on the soundbar, the system goes to sleep after a little while and shuts down. I couldn't find any answers to fix this and frustrating if you want to leave it on all day while at work so your dogs have some background noise when you leave. Overall, the sound is great however the Sonos system seems to have more of a user friendly experience...

      Thank you for the review Bryan. We appreciate the feedback. We are glad to hear that the sound is great. The system is designed to be simple to set up and easy to use, and you should not have had to run the setup twice. The system will turn off if it has not received an audio signal and user interaction for 30 minutes. When this occurs, the green LED will go out. If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our technical support team at 800-380-4831. We are here to help Monday through Friday 9am to 9pm EST. Bose

    The bricks turn me off

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought home the soundbar 600, the subwoofer 500 and left these two speaker at store. The reason is these have the brick attached to it. Could those Bose designer hide the brick inside the speakers like folks at SonoS do (SONOS One and one SL). I didnot even bother to listen to the sounds from them. Those BRICKs who want them for WIRELESS speakers?

    Serms Bose lost site of the term "invisible". Allthough siund is great and u dont have to run wires everywhere. The power adspter iis huge. So now u have all the wires near your power outlet. Seems like Bose could have st lest made the power adapter smaller, how could they miss this given the name????

    Worst product I have ever purchased! Horrible!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Product is one of the worst I have ever purchased. I previously owned a Sonos and traded it in for this device which was the biggest mistake and waste of money I have ever made. Constant issues with the Soundtouch app and fades in and out with horrible sound and shows on and off in the app. Bose just does not have wireless sound nailed down and it is apparent with the entire Soundtouch line including the soundbar. The sound is not Bose quality and I traded this whole package in and went back to Sonos which has wireless sound cornered. Do yourself a favor, do not waste your money. I have a pretty simple set up with a Sony 4K TV and Roku and Fios and with constant issues with the HDMI Arc and the app crashing and updates not making a difference this is not ready for prime time and in my eyes will never be ready!

    Bose Virtually Invisible Speakers

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    First let me say that I like Bose equipment. I have the Smartbar 300 and the 500 base module. Both work very well. Now lets talk about the Virtually Invisible 300 speakers. The only word that comes to mind is JUNK. Unless I have my ear up to the speaker I can not hear them. I downloaded the Bose app did everything as I should and Very Very little sound. I have the volume at 100 per cent and barely a sound. Anyone help me with this problem ?
