    Incredible Home Theater System

    I expected a great deal from this system seeing as it cost $4,000, and my expectations were exceeded. I paired the 650 with my Samsung 65" 800 series TV and will probably never go out to the movies again. The sound is so crisp and clean even at very high volume. I am hearing details on movies that I did not hear in the theater. But I really bought the system to listen to music, and the sound is simply incredible! Set up was easy and I had no problems. I could not be happier with my Bose 650 Home Theater. To me, it was worth every penny and is a quantum leap forward in my home entertainment experience.

    This being the central core to my home entertainment system, I didn't want to scrimp. I mean, everything else is piped through this, right? So, I spent the money. At first I was underwhelmed by the sound quality. I thought, "I paid 4K for this?!" Then, I hooked my turntable to it. WOW! It's as though they are sitting in my living room! I realized that my first impression was due to the signal that I get from my cable company. Money well spent.!!!

    It is amazing product for the sound. But it did not come with the wall mount brackets for all of the speakers. At this price I expect that these would be included. The set up process is so easy/simple to achieve best results on the sound. Just wish it comes with build in mp3 or mkv player.

    Great Entertainment System. However, not perfect

    The Bose Lifestyle 650 is a very good system. Though far from perfect. At times it kind of lacks the chest pounding sound and crystal clarity one expects from a very expensive system. It may be due to the source. Sources (video, movie, music) are streamed. And due to compression of files, the quality of the sound is compromised. It would also have been nice if they kept the cd/dvd and radio receiver like the older Lifestyle systems. The 650 is now basically an amplifier with available bluetooth and wifi.

    Good product and very clean and very loud no noise. But having issues with the Sub Bass cutting off, I will need help from Bose.

    The Bose home theater system is a complete home entertainment product with outstanding sound. As a prior Bose product owner, the quality of their product line is outstanding. The system sounds like being in a movie theater, with sounds never before picked up on my prior system.

    Sounds great, did have trouble with the pass thru from the TV to the unit, ended up using the optical link for the sound when using the "Smart TV" functions.

    I've been switching over to all Bose over the years. I'm not disappointed in this system at all. It took me a bit to get everything installed properly but I'm not a pro so understandable. Enjoy the sound even more so when the action movies start. I'll continue with Bose.

    Needed a new system after our old one stopped working. Couldn't be happier with this sound system! I love how small the satellite speakers are and how strong the bass hits.

    Have a component home theater system but wanted a wireless system for our new 75-inch Samsung 4k QLED TV (also got at Best Buy). While there is a visceral sound quality to large-cone speakers the sound from the very (and I mean VERY) small Bose speakers is pretty sweet! The "wireless" rear speakers is a bit of an over-promise because they each so need to be plugged into an outlet but no speaker wires running from the unit to the rears (and the sub) is very nice. Overall for what we wanted - very good sound, small speakers, 5.1 system, and no speaker wires we are very pleased. And the Best Buy total tech support for set up and assistance was fantastic!!!

    Bose - Lifestyle 650 home entertainment system

    Bose is a good system and a quality name brand. Purchased this system on April 25, 2020 and have been having nagging issues with audio. Audio would fade out briefly (seconds) from a full to a thin sound; base exhibits the same problem associated with crackling from the base speakers. I've checked all the connections and updated the software to no avail. Tried calling Bose, sent emails to no avail. Customer service is not responding.
