Best Bose Speakers
Sound fades in and out – As identified by other reviewers, the speakers work well initially, then the sound starts to cut/fade in and out. This is beyond annoying - it makes… Read more
the speakers unusable and I have since replaced them with a cheaper set of Logitech speakers. This happened after about 10 months for the first set and I contacted customer care who replaced the speakers. That process was good. However, the second set did exactly the same after 2 months. I went through *all* of the trouble shooting tips (different power source, different computers, trialing different speakers etc). My previous Bose Companion speakers (from the 90s) worked perfectly. This is a dud product. And for a company does one thing (sound), I'm amazed that they haven't fixed this well-known issue with the product (check out reviews on the Bose Australia website as well).
Can’t thank Bose enough for discontinuing service for their SoundTouch system - I now have a house full of Bose speakers - that won’t sync with just about anything! Show details
Great for the bedroom – This Home speaker gives a great sound and what is even better it does by voice command "Hey Google " and turns off by voice command. You can command… Read more

Response to all those who say the bass is no good – The Bose 301 bass response is tuneable to a certain extent by how far the are placed from a wall. Recommended is 30cm, but you can noticeably alter… Read more
the response by moving them closer and further away from the wall.
Without doubt, based on my experiences, you will feel the bass is lacking if they are placed to far from the wall.
A decent improvement to TV sound – It has significantly improved the sound of both a Samsung and Sony TV I have used it with. I like the compact size of the sound bar, yet it still has… Read more
decent bass and clear speech. Great for TV, but not going to give you that home cinema experience if that's what you're looking for. I recommend hooking it up with an HDMI cable for eARC so you never have to think about it and control it from the TV remote instead.

off. and so i went to their webiste to place the repair order, and it cost $179, on the website it says that they will send a box for me to send it out to them as bass module 700 have glass on top, and apparently they don't have the box either after i place the order!!! to pay $1000 for this module speaker and to die within 3 years is freakin ridicoulus!!! and for them to not send out the box?? and i can't drop it off as well??
I recently purchased the Bose Lifestyle Soundbar system and, considering the premium price point and Bose’s reputation, the overall experience has… Read more
been extremely disappointing. This is coming from someone who has owned a large number of Bose products over the years and has generally been a strong supporter of the brand. Unfortunately, in many ways this system feels like a step backwards compared to previous-generation Bose soundbars I have owned, which I honestly preferred overall.
The setup process was far from the “seamless” experience Bose advertises. The rear speakers constantly refused to connect, requiring multiple resets and power cycles before they finally paired properly. Compared to the previous-generation Bose soundbar I owned, the connection process was noticeably less reliable, more frustrating, and far less polished. For a premium home theatre system, this level of inconsistency is unacceptable.
Another issue I experienced was popping and crackling noises when powering the system on from standby. The system does this both wired and wirelessly through the speakers during startup, which is not something I would expect from a premium-priced audio system and immediately takes away from the quality feel Bose markets this product around.
I was also extremely underwhelmed with the Dialogue Boost feature. In many movies and TV shows, it actually makes voices sound unnatural and introduces an echo-like effect rather than improving vocal clarity. Even with Dialogue Enhancement turned off, the system still randomly introduces an artificial echo into voices at times, which completely ruins the premium viewing experience. At this price point, these kinds of audio processing issues are simply unacceptable.
When paired with the new Bose Ultra Sub, the bass tuning has also been disappointing. It is very difficult to fine-tune the system for late-night viewing or situations where you do not want to disturb neighbours. Even on lower bass settings, the subwoofer still sounds overly overpowering and boomy rather than controlled and balanced. For a premium-priced system, I expected much better tuning flexibility and refinement.
Overall, this system feels more like a downgrade than an upgrade. Previous Bose soundbars I have owned were more reliable, more refined, and provided a far better user experience overall. Considering the premium price Bose charges for this system, I expected a polished flagship product — not one that feels unfinished, frustrating to use, and inferior in several ways to older Bose generations.
