Reviews around stuff (5.00 of 5)

  • Cannot say enough good stuff about these speakers.
  • bose makes great stuff with a great sound
  • Considering their shape and size, I suppose they are impressive, but for the price, there is much better sounding stuff out there

Reviews around size (5.00 of 5)

  • Bose is the best; speakers are just the right size for location, and sound, as always, is superior.
  • The size is great too, big enough for a better sound, but smaller than bookshelf speakers....
  • Because I've used Bose products before, and because these were the 'right size' (per spouse), I purchased them.

Reviews around price (4.64 of 5)

  • I was glad to see these Bose speakers sold at such an affordable price.
  • For the reasonable price I was very impressed with the sound output and quality
  • delivers great sound as front speakers in a home theater setting and at a good price also does not look so bulky hanging on wall next to flat pannle tv
  • Not a bad price for a bookshelf speaker or surround sound speaker.
  • Speakers are a great improvement to our home theater - and very reasonably priced.

Reviews around mount (4.26 of 5)

  • Limited mounting options because of their shape and non-compatibility with other mounts.
  • The combination of the gear-tooth method of setting the speakers at the desired angle, coupled with the set screw that is very difficult to screw in, makes mounting the speaker to the wall bracket not much fun
  • but these mounted on a wall look amazing and very profession if you have any knowledge about speaker placement then these are for you.
  • Elegant, easily mounted and most importantly, sounds great.
  • Mounted well both as ceiling mount horizontally as well as wall mounted vertically.

Reviews around addition (4.03 of 5)

  • Works really well - nice addition to my surround sound system.
  • These would probably be fine as additions to a current sound system but on their own, they suck.
  • These would probably be fine as additions to a current sound system but on their own, they suck.
  • Perfect addition, just add a Sub-woofer and you have sound extraordinaire

Reviews around quality (3.98 of 5)

  • i have them horizontally mounted on the wall and is secure with good quality sound
  • yup 4 stars is great speaker is really good quality sound
  • The sound quality seemed "shrill" - there's something about the way these speakers sound that is very un
  • I have 3 pair of these and they work great, could use a little more base but the sound quality is impressive
  • Frankly, while they were an upgrade from my old Polk surrounds (small and more like an introductory version), they have been disappointing sound quality-wise

Reviews around bass (3.80 of 5)

  • If you want better bass, then pair these with a subwoofer that is between 100-150 dollars, and it will be perfect
  • I am a bit disappointed with the sound quality as the bass falls off somewhat.
  • Actually the bass is pretty good too, even though it is meant to be more of a tweeter
  • They were an upgrade to a much larger pair of Bose 201 bookshelf speakers, and while the bass is not quite as powerful, it's still surprisingly deep considering their diminutive size.
  • They are as clear as the Klipsch front presence small speakers but the Bose has a much clearer bass.

Reviews around design (2.94 of 5)

  • I also like their sleek design.
  • However the design is severely lacking if you need to install it high up on the ceiling without too much room to maneuver
  • Great sound and great design!
  • Don't like that they are not designed to be free standing
  • Sleek design
