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

5.0 out of 5 stars They are worth it!

Great speakers that deliver. They complete the Bose surround sound experience. I have it paired with a soundbar 700 and Bass module 700. Everyone that complains about the level of sound they output hasn’t experimented with their settings to get the best audio output. My only complaint is that they should have came with the optional table stands.

5.0 out of 5 stars well worth the money

I bought the 700 soundbar and subwoofer together and was skeptical about the rear speakers simply because of the price. After ADAPTiQ calibration upon set up its well worth the money. The sound is better that I expected. Would buy again, highly recommend.

These arent going to blow the roof off, but the sound that comes from them is very accurate and provides another dimension to your games and movies. The power brick being roughly twice the size of the speakers is wild, but I was able to easily hide the cables and bricks. At first I wanted to turn these speakers up and really hear what they can do. I quickly realized that leaving them on neutral or 0 in the bose music app provided the most immersive sound experience. Everything just blends together all around you and you cant even really tell which speaker is making the sound, it just feels a part of the room. I have the soundbar 900 and bass module 700 and it the setup is minimalist, attractive, and pumps enough noise to bother any close neighbors. Enjoying the setup overall!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Speakers, Underwhelming Support

J. · December 4, 2024

I originally bought the Bose soundbar 900 and the bass module 700. To have a cinema-like experience, I purchased the surround speakers 700. Considering the money it costs, I was expecting something better than this. It's hard to hear them even when setting them at maximum from the Bose app. I have other brands surround speakers (Sony, Sonos), which are far from this. In all honesty, it's a waste of money. Don't buy them. Please check other comments; they all say the same.Lastly, after more than one year, the soundbar suddenly stopped working. Bose support said a power surge might be related. Yeah, of course, it must have been a mysterious power surge that only singled out the soundbar while sparing every other device in the house. Amazing!The soundbar no longer has a warranty, and Bose support in Latin America requests that it be fixed at the same price as a brand-new soundbar. Marvelous!

4.0 out of 5 stars If You Can't Hear Them Read For the Fix

C.J. · December 28, 2022

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!!

Of course these are wonderful along with the Bose sound bar. I especially like them because they are in the room but not noticeable. I bought the white ones….positioned them near my white sofa…..PERFECT!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great surround solution

Set up was easy. Told the app to find the speakers. At first it only found one but moving the un-connected speaker close to the 600 Bose sound bar made the difference. Really like controlling the volume, as some people have written that there is no volume. Volume control is accessed through the app. I didn't want to get black speakers or put them on stands - too much clutter. The "white" model of these 700 Bose rear speakers actually have a white plastic top and bottom caps, but they are shiny metal. The metal reflects the color where they are placed. These are place in the corners of the window sill and reflecting the white trim paint become almost invisible.

Wow! Sound!

Just love it.Wish assembly instructions were clear and would expect less of wires from BOSE!

Sonido Sorround Espectacular!

A. · October 11, 2020

Al principio no creí que valieran todo el dinero que costaron.Primero me sorprendió lo diminutas que son, no vi las medidas, pero por las fotos creí que eran más grandes.He leído que mucha gente ha tenido problemas para vincular las bocinas a la barra; sin embargo, yo no tuve ningún problema con ellas, ni con la app, fue muy rápida la configuración.Pero al principio note que no eran muy potentes, no percibía el sonido del sorround en las películas aún teniendolo al 100 en la configuración de la app. Realicé varias veces la calibración sin notar mejora alguna. Esto me decepcionó mucho ya que no fueron nada baratas. En donde si notaba sonido era cuando ponía música de Spotify.Pero un día me di cuenta que mi televisor (Sony A8G) en la configuración de audio estaba en modo PCM, teniendo otras dos modalidades, Auto 1 y Auto 2. Cuando lo cambié a Auto 1, no saben lo sorprendido que quedé con el sonido de estas dos bellezas!!!!!.El sonido es cristalino, muy nítido y potente.Creo que PCM está más enfocado al sonido estéreo y es por eso que no sonaban como yo esperaba.Ahora estoy super feliz con ellas, el sonido de la Soundbar 700, con el Bassmodule 700 y las Sorround Speakers 700 es espectacular.¿Que si valen la pena?, Valen la pena cada maldito centavo. =)Como sugerencia, pongan la película "Matrix Revolutions", tiene muchos efectos especiales que hace que se escuchen espectaculares estas hermosuras de bocinas, no se si es por que las tengo instaladas en el techo, pero en la batalla final de Neo y Smith, los truenos se escuchan arriba y no atrás donde las tengo instaladas. Es increíble.

Small and Simply Amazing

I originally purchase the 700 soundbar and sub because of the ability to have rear speakers, something my Cinemate II system lacked. I did not purchase the rears at the same time and as I looked at some online reviews I became doubtful on the need and quality. Complicating the decision was whether to go with the 180-surround set or the full 360 Bose 700 set. Because of the extra money and peoples comments I was not going to go for the 700’s. But I decided to give them a try first to see, figuring I could always return if I did not like them.Well with the first night they were hooked up I knew I was keeping them, I can’t believe the other reviews and I have to question those people’s setup or expectations. You add the rear speakers to a system to help fill the room with sound and these little speakers do that completely. Now important to realize your sound output has to support 5.1 or you won’t hear any sound out of them. So, as I watch YouTube, I hear nothing out of them, which is expected. Then while some shows make use a little out of them like Suits, that shows creators have chosen not to really use 5,1 and to be honest it does not really need to. But that does not mean a drama could not do a better job. For example, Mindhunters uses 5.1 amazingly and I am hearing sounds I did not know existed. Prior to adding the rears, I heard good sound out of the sound bar, but after I would hear all the background noises. A lot of the show happens in jails and you hear the closing and opening of jail cells. In the background This is just lower level back ground noise, but completely adds the show. Now watch Star Wars or 6 Underground on Netflix and you will be blown away with the room filling sound between the soundbar, the sub and now the rear 700’s it just completes the entire setup.I had read the speakers were small, but not having seen them prior to my Bolo order I was surprised how small they actually were. But this is a complete plus, they hide nicely in the room, but the sound is amazingly strong. I did turn them up in the app to hear more, but that’s why the feature exists, some seem to say that as a downside. Remember your rear speakers do not produce all the sound and are meant only for specific ones that the show’s creators decide will add value to the show you are watching and in my mind these speakers knock it out of the park.I had intended to also pick up the 180 set to compare and maybe save some money. But in the end, I am too happy with the 700’s that I know longer intend to do the comparison and keep what I got. So, I cannot answer whether you could save some money and get the same out of the cheaper Bose speakers. But I can say you should not be disappointed with the 700’s and let’s be honest if you are looking to save money you don’t buy Bose. You buy Bose because you know you are getting superior sound and quality, but it is at a price. I also find that more expensive Bose systems do usually offer better sound then their cheaper cousins, but that’s just my opinion.
