    The Sound Is Great

    We added these to the rest of the Bose 700 series. We were surprised by how much these add to the system. The presence of these small speakers is amazing. It's definitely a good idea to run the enhancement software in the phone app. These speakers are also easy to position because they do not needing wires for the audio. Connection wires for the AC power is still necessary, however. We recommend buying the Bose mounts because the two are made to work together. We bought the table mounts and attached them to speaker stands, which is working well for us and cost a lot less than the Bose floor stands. We liked that the speakers came with a cute little screwdriver to connect the wires. The only con we have is the price. At about $2,000 to put together the soundbar, bass module and these surround speakers, it may be possible to be just as happy with a lower-cost option. Overall, we like them very much and would probably buy them again.

    These speakers are impressive. Sleek design, easy set up, not once had any connection issues and the sound of these speakers are super crisp. A must have in my opinion if you seek or appreciate that full surround sound experience.

    Sound quality was very good. Just a tad small and expensive for it's size. Especially if you buy the Bose Omni Jewel stands.

    If you’re looking to get the entire 8 channel 24 bit 192 kHz Atmospheric sound the sound bar 900 was meant to offer. With the sleek sexiness, and ease of use Bose has to offer, these are a must. They’re expensive but the only way they’re not worth it is if your tv and pc settings respectively aren’t set right i.e. passthrough, bitstream, Atmos app installed, windows audio enhancements off etc. I ran ADAPTiQ and didn’t have to do anything else. Every effect Dolby has to offer is there and the location based sounds feels visible. Truly incredible for such small but heavy and sturdy speakers that will blend perfectly into you homes decor.

    These two are Amazing, takes a little time setting up, but once they are online the rest is history. Good surround effects for movies and music is awesome. Paired with the 900 sound bar and 700 sub woofer you can’t go wrong! Best money ever spent.

    First, they are rear speakers for surround sound, so they aren’t ment to blast music or to replace regular speakers. But they sound great, but again they are mostly for background audio, or for a song that has put in surround effects. I didn’t know this at the time but your Tv has to have specific audio options for the newer soundbars to work as intended. But thankfully my tv broke & the new one had the specs it needed. Ps: A tip when you set them up and you’re doing the ADAPTiQ thing, put a dish towel or a hand towel over them. It will trick the system into giving it more power (just remember to remove them when you’re done. LOL)

    This product was the last addition to complete my Bose 700 surround system. Watching movies that have 5.1 audio especially marvel and Michael Bay’s movie became more immersive. Sometimes I forget that I have surround sounds and think there is a bird in my house chirping, a car is passing by or glass breaking. I tried to use it as whole house music speaker (like Sonos One) but I do not recommend it because it sounded too tinny. They complement the soundbar but are horrible as standalone speakers. As much as I enjoy them for watching movies I think they are OVERPRICED for what it’s for. For $550 + $50 for metal wall brackets I could have purchase a PlayStation 5 bundled with a second controller and one video game. I will be keeping mine because it completes my surround system but I think for some people it’s not financially justifiable.

    Great Sound, Weird Look With Stand

    Definite upgrade over the previous wireless surrounds from Bose. These have a much more pronounced effect. The only complaint I have is with the way they look when using the stands, which I do. The stand is almost as thick as the speakers (they are remarkably small) so it looks more like a pole on each side of the couch instead of a speaker on a thinner stand. They sound excellent though.

    So I thought I was upgrading to a bigger rear speaker, rather than the cube rear speakers. So when these arrived, & after I opened, I was very disappointed that these are quite smaller than the cube speakers. After having the cube and then going to the 700 rears, I can only say it's a slight upgrade from the cube style. But maybe now that Football season is starting, and I'm watching more TV from my Bose system, hopefully then I might get that wow factor. But I'm content for now....I should've just been Happy with the cube style rears, instead of dishing out the extra 250 to upgrade, after I returned the old ones

    These work great, not sure why there's negative feedback on them. They work seamlessly with my bose 900 soundbar and 500 bass module. People say they're too quiet, they're surround speakers, meant to add to the overall sound, they mostly play movie scores/music and effects, i have them at level 50 and they work perfectly as an addition to the system, that's what theyre menat to do. Just run the adaptiq calibration for your room and tweek levels on the app to your liking and you'll be fine. Also, when you do run the calibration, make sure all the settings are on default (0). This will assure the calibration is suiting your surroundings correctly, from there adjust levels on the app for everything (bar, surrounds, bass module) till it sounds good to your ears, and you wont be disappointed

    These Bose surround sound 700 speakers are incredibly good. I really love playing with them learning them and getting to enjoy them at the same time. I still think they are overpriced. I can’t help but feel that way because I am bluntly honest I paid for them. I feel like I can be honest and tell you the truth about these speakers. They really do sound incredibly good. I hooked them up and thought what could really come out of these. They are so small but let me tell you they are powerful. You really can enjoy them depending on what you watch on TV and listen to if things are recorded real good then it really comes out in the speaker there are a lot of people there are putting towels over their speakers. I have not tried that yet I may do it later I don’t know, but summarize my opinion, I made a good buy. I would recommend them to anyone else they are some powerful and 40 W speakers to be so small. Don’t hesitate go buy them now they work well with this 900 sound bar.

    I have purchased the Bose 500 (two of them) and 900 sound bars, 500 & 700 subwoofers and 500 & 700 surrounds. The sound quality is superb. Exquisite even. Now the downsides. These don’t play well with TVs. I couldn’t get the TV remotes to turn the volume up on the Bose soundbar. With EARC you can have devices communicate things like volume and on/off signals to all devices. Bose is EARC “compatible” Not at all. I purchased 3 different brand high quality TVs just to get these sound bars to work. Really. I literally went through three brand new TVs so I could keep the Bose products. I connected directly to the TVs with a few different quality HDMI cables. I even had geek squad out and they were baffled. I use an Apple TV and I couldn’t get that remote to work with the Bose stuff either. I had to use the infrared on my Apple Remote to finally get the soundbar to work. Ya like 60 year old technology. So because the soundbar is under the TV and on a high TV entertainment unit I have to have direct line of sight between the remote and soundbar. This means my arm must go way up in the air to change the volume every time. It’s even more fun laying on the couch. The TV and Apple Remote are set up for Bluetooth. Beautiful. No more aiming at the tv. Till Bose. It sucks. Same thing for my Bose 500 in the bedroom on a smaller tv. HDMI won’t even work with the sound bar for sound. I have to use another old technology. Optical cable. It works but just barely. Oh yes and on both systems the updates are horrible. They get stuck all the time updating. Days stuck on the update. Meanwhile I can’t use any app features like dialogue mode. Then I have to play a game to get them unstuck. This usually results in having to reconnect the subwoofer and surrounds which is a huge pain. Oh and sometime it deletes the IQ feature which takes a bunch of time to set up too. I can spend an hour resetting things up because of updates. One last thing about their proprietary products. These can not be used with any other products. I went to use my 500 subwoofer in my office for my computer and it doesn’t use a normal input. So I put it back in the bedroom. It made me realize that someday when the soundbar dies I will be unable to make use of the sub and surround speakers. To have a soundbar go out and have the rest of the working speakers be unable to work is a waste of money. Buy Sonos instead. I’m going to switch to them on my next purchase. The sound quality of Bose isn’t worth the nightmare.

    These speakers sound great. I just wish they were a little louder, but I think it depends on what you're watching or listening to. They're also very compact for inconspicuous placement. I would definitely recommend if you already have the Bose soundbar.

    Very good rear sound channel 5.1 suround - if you love that Bose sound you will enjoy this with soundbar and sub. They are very small and lok good on shelf but beware there is a large power cord and power block that attaches it to power in the wall. It is wireless and comes with a stand. You need to have a place to hide the pwer cord block on its way to wall outlet. Other than that very elegant and sound great
