Exactly what I was looking for!

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2016

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

If you are looking for a compact sound system with great sound this may be just what you need! I was looking for a compact sound system for primarily listening to music from my computer and phone. I really do not watch a lot of TV or movies so a 5.1 or higher home theater system was not of interest to me. I was drawn to 2.1 Soundbar systems for their compact size but I do not like the way any of them sound for music playback, at least within my price range. I owned a Soundbar previously and couldn't have been more disappointed with the audio quality for music playback. While it was an improvement to my TVs speakers, any music played through the unit sounded over processed and unnatural, even on the music setting. This time around, after doing more research, I learned that a Soundbar was not the right product for my needs. After looking at and listening to many sound systems I decided it was best to go with speakers I could pair with my old audio receiver. I took a chance at buying this product online because none of the stores near me had this system to demo. After considering the space I have, the experience I wanted, audio components I already had and the great reviews on this system, I decided to take a chance. I am no audiophile, but I do enjoy listening to music. Hearing all of the sounds and feeling the music makes a much more enjoyable listening experience for me. And while sound is very subjective, I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. It's compact, fits the space I have, looks and sounds incredible! I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend anyone with the same needs and expectations as me in a sound system to give this a try. I do not see how you can be disappointed.

I love this system

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2015

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I love this system. Nice warm sound and plenty of bass. Some say the (unpowered subwoofer) doesn't provide enough bass but I'll tell you that I guess they are using a Home Theater (5.1 or 7.1) unit as their receiver. Those units aren't designed for good music reproduction in a stereo setting and won't ever sound that great with any speakers set-up. I have a 7.1 home theater for watching movies so I can attest it never sounds great playing a CD through it. I also completely recommend pointing the open port in front against a wall. Doing that you will hear much richer bass than pointing it out into open space. But in all fairness this is in a carpeted room. The subwoofer would probably sound awesome on a hardwood floor.

Great sound and a small footprint

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2018

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I'm using these as computer speakers. I'm pairing them will a small 20w Class T amplifier and they get quite loud. I'm really enjoying the sound of these speakers - vocals are crystal clear and they make my music sound better to my ears than other speakers I've used in the past (and there have been MANY). The satellites are quite heavy for their size and seem quality as well. I liked them so much I bought another set for the bedroom. I'm looking forward to trying other Bose speakers now.

Good product but little changed for last 30 years

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Work well with typical Bose quality, but don’t expect much base. Bought these to replace original acoustimass unit that was about 28 years old. Was hoping for more improvement in mid and base with 30 years of development time. Perhaps slightly more mid with the right source, but for the most part can’t really tell much difference. This is a testimonial to how well Bose products hold up over the years, but also points to how they don’t make any effort to improve them.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2018

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I was so excited to get this. I immediately jumped on it when it was delivered. The first thing I noticed was how much larger the subwoofer is than the my old Acoustimass 10 woofer. The second disappointment is when I saw that the speaker hookups are a special multi-pin jack. PROPRIETARY SPEAKER HOOKUPS? Seriously Bose? I continued thinking that these may be even better than I was expecting. The speaker wires were long enough to give me a good spread between left and right channels. (25') I slowly and deliberately set it up and when I turned it on? I wanted to cry.

I was expecting bang for the buck. I got dribbles for a fortune. The bass is nowhere as deep and prominent as expected. The cube speakers really really sound like a just a step above a transistor radio. I have already destroyed the packaging (being convinced that this is super quality). My old acoustimass 10 was so much better!

Needless to say, I reinstalled my Klipsch bookshelves (without a subwoofer), and I am now listening to quality sound once again.

I'll be putting the bose on craigslist at a severe loss.

Bose, there is no other.

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018

My last Bose Acoustic system was purchased in 1994. It gave me incredebile sound the entire time I had it. I sold it to a friend this past February when I moved. Well, I purchase a new receiver and knew I had to have basickly the same system. I welcomed my new Bose Acoustic 5 system two months ago. It’s just as good as my old system, if not better. I’m truly a Bose guy, wouldn’t have anything else.

I will put these in my bathroom were the rest of the crap goes. On a shelf not over priced plastic

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2016

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Yes the speakers sound ok. But Bose has lost a customer for ever they really put it to the customer on mounting these speakers. They don't even show the back of the speakers to show they changed the connections. Well there not going to make another dime off me or anyone I know. I will put these in my bathroom were the rest of the crap goes.On a shelf not over priced plastic. If I would have known this I would not have bought these speakers. I will keep them because I do not want to return them to Amazon. Should have stayed with Klipsch, Polk or JBL or any of the 1000 other speaker makers out there.

From Old School large 4 way system to New School Bose!

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2017

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I finally had to retire my big 4 way, 12" woofer custom made speakers. Wasn't too sure which way to turn due to downsizing, but chose this Bose system. Very surprised and happy with sound quality and low end. Paired with my Pro logic system, 2 rear, center and the Bose for fronts, it was great. My music ranges from classic rock, country to classical pipe organ! Really fills the living area with quality like being there sound.

Gran sonido envolvente

Yo lo uso estas bocinas para musica, conectado con un potente amplificador vintage Pioneer SX-939, la verdad son una maravilla de potencia y nitidez, su sonido envolvente es como si tuvieras bocinas por todos lados. Tenia conectados antes unos bafles de alta gama Pioneer de los 80's, la verdad no le piden nada en potencia y nitidez, y definitivamente estas bocinas BOSE con su sonido envolvente superan a mis bafles vintage.

Passives System (!) ohne Verstärker, Sound bombastisch.

Reviewed in Germany on June 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

Ich verwende dieses System an einem Marantz PM6006 Hifi Verstärker. Ich wollte vor allem den Klang meines Samsung TV verbessern und dann auch Musik hören.

Beides ist sozusagen voll gelungen.

Die Satelliten Lautsprecher sind unauffällig an der Wand und fühlen sich auch schon einmal sehr wertig an. Schade, dass man die Wandhalter auch noch extra kaufen muss. Die Kabel sind unauffällig, die Kabel zum Subwoofer habe ich durch stärkere (2,5mm²) ersetzt und sie auch von der Länge besser angepasst. Dadurch kaum Leistungsverluste.

Insgesamt ist der Verkabelungsaufwand natürlich enorm. Zumindest wenn man solche Dinge wie Bluetooth Subwoofer zum Vergleich anführt. Ich hatte jedoch verschiedene solche Systeme getestet und deren Sound war abartig.

Mit dem Bose System bin ich endlich zufrieden. Es verlangt natürlich bauartbedingt nach Leistung. Der Marantz mit 2x60W reicht aber vollkommen aus, um die heimische Bude gut zu rocken.

Vom Bass her sehr gut und ausgewogen mit gutem Tiefbass. Die Subwoofer Box selbst ist schon recht sperrig. Beste Platzierung ist in der Mitte leicht schräg (je nach Wohnraum ausprobieren). Vom Geruch her am Anfang auch etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Die Höhen sind recht spitz und etwas überbetont, jedoch klar und nicht verzerrt. 'Kann man mal so hören' ;-) Auch die sonst problematischen, tieferen Mitten werden präsent wiedergegeben.

Auf jeden Fall steht meinem Vinyl Hifi Genuss nun auch nichts mehr im Weg (Pop/Rock/Acoustic). Für Klassik vielleicht mit Abstrichen.

Unverständlich bleibt, warum Bose hier kein aktives System anbietet...
