Surround Sound System for Home Theater, Black

The surround speakers were very easy to setup and connect to the Bose Soundbar. The combination of speakers provides great sound in my 14' x 16' room.

This past December, I decided to splurge on a new TV, soundbar, and rear speakers, as all of mine were 11 years old. I’ve had hearing aids for the past two years (my audiologist says I’m his youngest patient - ugh); my old soundbar didn’t have a dedicated speaker for dialogue, plus the rear speakers I had just made everything louder, not sharper, and I need sharpness to help with the type of hearing loss I have. As a public school teacher, the cost of this entire purchase was a big deal, so I researched the hell out of everything, and I kept coming back to Bose. I bought the black soundbar at Costco, and I wanted white rear speakers since they’d be in front of the white wainscoting. The soundbar itself is fantastic — a huge improvement over what I had before — and the rear speakers are what really bring everything to life, especially when I’m not wearing my hearing aids. I get to hear doctors being paged when watching The Pitt, gunfire in the distance while watching Paradise, birds chirping in Wicked, and so many other noises in other shows and movies that round out the viewing experience. Two important things: 1. You pair the speakers and control their volume through the Bose app. Mine are at 80, and the “height” channel on my soundbar is at 20. You’ll figure out the right ratio for you. 2. I have a very small TV room, and my rear speakers are on the Bose stands (a bit pricey but I kept them anyway) right behind the couch. I can’t speak to what the sound would be like in a much bigger room with these mounted on the wall, but I’m sure they’d be great. I could do that setup with hearing aids in, but they probably wouldn’t help me in a big room if my hearing aids are out.

Bose great as always, they look fantastic and also sound just as great.

These sound incredible. The setup was a little bit of a pain though because it is extremely hard to get the volume up high enough.

so far after an hour of installing and testing multiple movirs, tv shows and sports these speakers are not worth the money. i have tweaked the settings in the Bose app and they almost sound like a old transistor radio. very disappointed with Bose for selling these because I have the 600 sound bar and the 500 base.

I have soundbar 300+sub, so decided to complete the set with surround speakers. Quality is as expected, assembling with the floor stands, easy. At first day I was a bit disappointed. As many customers share here, the voice coming from speakers was very, very low, almost no difference. Started thinking those are next $418 we spent for nothing... BUT I have decided to believe and trust the brand (that's a Bose, it could not be that worse), same as you trust when you buy Mercedes.... Checked here and there, and found the solution (unfortunately not here), and sharing it with you as a New Year Gift ( if you decide to buy me a beer, I would accept :) ) So the solution of low sound coming form your new surround speakers is to install on your phones a Bose Mobile app. There are few. "Bose Connect" and "Bose Music" will not work with soundbar 300, they do with 500/700. For soundbar 300 model you need "Bose SoundTouch" app. It works using your home Wi-Fi to connect your phone/app with the soundbar. To prepare your soundbar for connection, press your soundtouch button on your remote, then press and hold 9. Open the app and follow instructions. It will also check for updates ( I even didn't know this sound system could get updates, so did it for a first time in 2 years since I bought it. Update took a while, about 15 minutes). When you are connected, on app under settings you could find "Audio Settings". There you can adjust the Central Level and your Surround Level, last one is what is bothering you, hit it to 10 :) Test your sound now. Merry Christmas and a Happy and noisy New 2020 :)
