BoseSurround Speakers 700, Black

I went for the ultra sound bar and the subwoofer. Yes it's pricey, but got them on sale. I was waiting for the satellite speakers to go on sale, but they never did. So I bit the bullet and got them too because although the sound bar and subwoofer sound great on their own, I felt something was missing especially when listening to music, and I do listen to a lot of music. I have an extensive collection. I will say that they do make a difference in the sound of the system. They definitely improve the soundstage, as well as the Dolby Atmos experience when watching movies, etc. They sound good. I did put the cloth over them when I ran the adaptec setup. I actually feel the volume of these is quite sufficient in fact I've had to tone them back a little bit. They are not meant for bass, but these add to that all around you sound filling the room. I had a 9.1 setup at my last house so I am familiar with how the rear speakers sometimes are not in the mix at all and other times are extremely in the mix. So IMO, it's all in what you want out of the system. This is not a quadrophonic stereo like we had in the 70's where all 4 speakers blasted out equally. But for a mostly unobtrusive setup, this is very good. The Bose App let's you tweek the volume easily. One other comment I will mention about the app is that you can add addional Bose Soundlink speakers in other rooms, or outside. I love that.

Perfect with Bose surround! Unmatched quality!

Sound great. Easy installation.

Bose just speaks for itself, be your own judge

Speakers look great and sound good for what little sound they put out. I bought a pair of these speakers along with the stands and spent 3 days trying to get the volume up. Finally I called Bose Tech Support and after 20 minutes of troubleshooting they said the soundbar (smart soundbar 600) I have does not have the ability to calibrate the speakers and that I needed the 700 soundbar or higher to work. I wasn't going to spend more money to get these too work, so I sent them back. If they would of worked I probably would of rated them 5 stars.

I would have given these 5 stars if it wasn't for the same issue that a lot people have had, very low to no sound after connecting them. These installed very easily with the app, within seconds. I did notice that they were very low even at 100 but figured that was because they weren't fully setup. So, I ran ADAPTiQ, which is a must anyway, and they were a little louder but still not really audible.The FIXAs many people have stated if you cover them with a cloth, I used wash clothes, and run the ADAPTiQ it SHOULD fix or help. In my case it solved the problem. I just watch a movie and all of the background noise/sounds that you should hear from the rear speakers was there and fills the room even better than the Soundbar 700 does on it's own.I have have and have had many Bose speakers and this was very surprising to me. Bose really needs to work on this fixing this issue.

Sonido envolvent multidireccional. Excelente. Estilo super minimalista.

I recently bought the Bose 900 soundbar and 700 subwoofer. I am extremely happy with both of them but still felt that was an element of that full room sound experience missing. I was hesitant to buy these 700 surround speakers because of the price for such small speakers, as well as the reviews saying how quiet they are. Let me say right away that if you plan on using adaptiq for these, you are probably not going to like them because of how quiet they are. I personally don't use adaptiq at all on my system. I find that tuning it to my preferences is the best option to get what I want out of it. If you use adaptiq, these are going to be very quiet. An option to do is cover them with a rag while using adaptiq, thus quieting the pings from the tune and having them tune themselves louder. By not using adaptiq, these put out a TON more sound. They absolutely give me that full room sound cinema like experience that I want. Also, these are not for bass. These are for all of the clearer high end surrounding sounds that you aren't hearing with out them. The full music sound, the shoes on a floor, the explosions and bullets feeling like they are whizzing past you. I was completely hesitant on these but I am glad I decided to try them because they absolutely make a world of difference in your audio experience. HIGHLY recommend
