Awesome Sound from Small Footprint!

If you are looking for a small set of speakers with big sound, and want to avoid buying a system that depends on a subwoofer the size of a small refrigerator, you will really like these speakers. I wanted to avoid a 2+1 system or a two-speaker system...

Lots of Bass. Detailed and balanced sound. Small Footprint

Line-in cord is too short. Should be at least 6

Theyre OK

I purchased these to replace a 5.1 system with a ton of wires, because i was sick of routing all the wires. I knew going into it, they wouldn't be as good... but i certainly expected better. I ended up returning the speakers.

They're OK for a 2.0 setup ... the mids are alright ... lows are terrible

With the Bose name, i honestly expected much better. The bass is almost non existent ; For the price, I'm not very happy with it

Excellent Sound Quality

Excellent sound quality, crisp, nuanced and accurate. A pleasure to use across all kinds of material

A little big, but this is a very minor nit

Not So Great

While the higher frequencies played with good clarity, for a Bose speaker system, I found the bass response to be substandard. After 2 days, left speaker went out. After 2 weeks, right speaker went out. As a 20 year Bose fan, I am not pleased with this...

Compact

Substandard bass repsonse. Lack of power indicator. Faulty

Cheap Bose Speaker

I should buy a better Bose speaker.

It looks nice and small

I use it for my home theater projector, but sound too small. It sounds just the same as some $50 PC speakers. The cable is too short for projector

Rocking lil speakers

the primary wire that connects from the speaker to your audio jack is short. I ended up having rearrange my setup a but and put the right speaker on the left side of my television and the left speaker on the right side to make the wires fit without...

Price !! Bose brand ; They work great, are small, sleek, and produce more than enough sound to make splinter cell totally insane

the software does not have an option to select speakers individually and say ok this is the right speaker this is the left speaker

A huge upgrade

The sound is wonderful. The quality is excellent. The negatives does not run off of usb so that means an extra 110 cord exc. Bose speakers always run a little heavy to bass. After I found the equalizer in the computer controls these speakers are...
