Reviews around bass (4.78 of 5)

  • But love the bass and other sound when watching music DVDs and movies.
  • Very nice sound great bass, a very good alternative to a full blown system
  • They Acustimass module puts out a great deep bass note.
  • Unlike the Cinemate II, the Cinemate GS II does provide rich sound and ample bass.
  • But no head phone jack on the new TV (guess that is my fault, again).Highs ok, bass is muddy and gets worse as you turn up the sound level

Reviews around remote (4.58 of 5)

  • The universal remote that comes with it works great and is dead easy to set up.
  • The Universal remote is a breeze to use, it has step by step instructions on how to set it up and once that is done everything is a snap
  • If you use an all in one smart remote the Bose system throws everything off with its auto off feature
  • The universal remote is great, it easily synced to my Samsung tv and panasonic dvd player
  • I would suggest two other expectations you have that you assume so much that you're not even aware of it: A)that your tv's remote will be able to work the Bose system, so that you can be relieved of having One More(UNNECESSARY)Remote laying out

Reviews around product (4.32 of 5)

  • Bose products have a reputation for their endurance, so I can recommend this product without reservation.
  • This product really enhanced the sound of our big screen TV.
  • Overall, Bose has a great product for smaller rooms, but not at the price they want ($600), and not for the replacement of a real surround sound
  • I would not recommend this product if u want great, full sound
  • The product it self is excellent, delivers great sound quality.

Reviews around quality (4.28 of 5)

  • However, the sound quality is noticeably worse than Bose Cinemate
  • Great Sound, and Good Quality, which is what we get from all of our BOSE products
  • The quality of sound is mediocre, and I would have returned the system had I purchased directly from Bose and not from Amazon.
  • I recommend this to anyone that is looking for a good speaker system with no hassle and great quality sound for your TV
  • Sony is great, but the quality of sound from Bose is better.

Reviews around music (4.18 of 5)

  • Sounds terrible... music is good but when you watch movies you can't hear the vocals well
  • Can hear the dialog now while enjoying the background music instead of cursing it.
  • Heck, it even makes the music into to
  • If u lose the remote u cant change the volume

Reviews around tv (4.16 of 5)

  • This is perfect for our living room (connected to our 55inch LED tv)
  • This is very disappointing because with the optical connection to TV all you get sound output but there is no interaction between your TV and the Bose system to for example adjust volume
  • My TV is hung above a
  • This system is paired up with a Samsung LED TV, Samsung Blu-ray player, Motorola cable box, and a new Apple TV.
  • This is the perfect accompaniment for my 50" Samsung LED TV.

Reviews around unit (4.16 of 5)

  • I only knew to do it because I had another (cheaper) unit that I set up this way.1
  • The unit is not very powerful, but the quality is great
  • If u lose the remote u cant change the volume
  • For two small speakers and a sub this unit sounds great and gets incredibly loud.

Reviews around price (4.05 of 5)

  • I bought from Best-Buy for $500 so this price is free to what your getting if you are in the market for the perfect Home Theater Sound System.
  • Sounds much better than the TV speakers and a great price
  • ****Cons: Price, No add-on option (i.e additional speakers), no HEADPHONE jack out-put!, no radio/tuner option...sheesh and still using wires>?!
  • The price is outrageous and you get very little.
  • The price was the best I could find, and ordering was simple

Reviews around speaker (3.99 of 5)

  • The speakers themselves are less intrusive to the decor.
  • The detail of the sound is no great and the speakers are weak
  • I recommend this to anyone that is looking for a good speaker system with no hassle and great quality sound for your TV
  • These speakers sound great but we are questioning the connection to the small box
  • The two small speakers sounds great, just a few connections, and it sounds better than my 5.1 system I replaced.

Reviews around bose (3.51 of 5)

  • Really like the Bose, and sorry to see they have gone to the soundbar.
  • I have had other subwoofers of a smaller size that were just as good as the oversized Bose.
  • Before I buy I didnt realize why people are telling Bose is good and great
  • And, its hooked-up in our apartment, providing us superb Bose sound that we love.
  • charitable!).Too bad Bose hasn't found a way to integrate the speakers with the tv

Reviews around thing (3.34 of 5)

  • Another good thing about this system is, It works in 100-240V which means universal voltage.
  • All in all, you get what you pay for, which in this case is not a bad thing.
  • The only weird thing about it is that the inputs are RCA and optical, which are both incredible outdated and make it difficult to have a lot of inputs go directly to the system (e.g., airport, ipod dock, tv, etc.).
  • The main worst thing is, with out the remote you can't do anything as there is no switch/nob in this system
  • Good thing is the module switch automatically based on the active input

Reviews around wire (1.00 of 5)

  • My living situation does not merit running wires and setting ups speakers (think rental space with limited room here)
  • If you stay in an apartment and don't like wires running all around the place, this is the best home theater system that is available in the market
  • But if you don't like running wires and want a minimalist system with superb sound then I strongly recommend the Bose Cinemate GS II; or if budget minded, or can't discern the audio difference, then the Bose Cinemate II is a solid 2nd choice.
  • If you have an entertainment center to hide everything, the wires will be no problem for you
  • This is stereo sound, up front with great bass and clear mid range and high frequency, but without the depth of a surround sound system (and without the messy wires running along the floor).Read more

Reviews around bite (1.00 of 5)

  • At first i was a bit sceptical about replacing my Samsung 7.1CH home theatre with a this product, but i stuck with the brand hoping that box would deliver the amazing sound quality they produce
  • Overall, I recommend this speaker system for its ease of use, portability, sound quality, and warranty, but be cautioned that the volume is a bit unpredictable.
  • It's a bit tedious to program it finding the right code for your devices
  • While I'll admit the price is a bit steep, for me after hearing this system, thought it was well worth it
  • The Bose base module has always been a bit weak, but figured it was worth it anyway

Reviews around floor (1.00 of 5)

  • Turning down the subwoofer at night is a must as it tends to noticeably vibrate the upper floors of my house
  • But when I moved to my new house and took the expensive setup I had for my "man town", I wanted to get a nice basic system for the living room so for one, we'd have great sound on that tv too, but more importantly, so I didn't have to rip up floors or rip through the walls to successfully and cleanly wire a full surround sound system
  • It is entirely stained concrete floors with area rugs and vaulted ceilings (I tell you this only so you can see we have a slight challenge with good sound quality in that room)
  • With that qualification, Bose offers the most desirable collection of benefits, while eliminating considerations that most don't find important or have control over (furniture selections and carpet vs hard flooring).

Reviews around house (1.00 of 5)

  • As for the sub, it is so powerful, you don't even need to turn it all the way up before it rattles your house.
  • The sub will rattle your house, without sounding like the speaker is about to explode
  • Even at max volume (watching GI Joe), it was very very loud and the whole house was shaking, but the system did not distort at all--in almost disbelief it seemed to sound even better and clearer
