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.

I never believed that the whole set with the satellites speaker, the bass & soundbar will be so good and have so special sounds, I really did a great investment.

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.

a must have in addition to your bose soundbar!. Make sure you calibrate again with the provided bose adaptQ, ( for a little better performance or loudness out of your rear speakers cover both speakers with a standard sock, it will force the adaptQ to calibrate and give a little more loudness which is the only complaint heard from others.) Paired with the entire system soundar + bass module it is full on IMPRESSIVE

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.

Took a while to figure them out. They are nice, however smaller than expected. May not be worth the price tag in my opinion. Wish they were louder as well.

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.

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

Overall good. they are smaller than expected. I did have to use the ADAPTiQ with my bose surround bar and a towel over the speakers to get the audio up higher

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.

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

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
