Just Right
Perfect size, weight, and sound. Would like the wireless box to be smaller, but it works.

Good but I’m not sure they work as they should
I purchased these to enhance my Bose 900 sound bar. I am unable to get much sound from them. One of them works better than the other, but they both only if you get certain things coming off the TV can you hear them so I’m not sure what I’m gonna do.

Great difference.
Just to let you know. After you connect your virtual invisible surround speakers, is very important to make the ADAPTiQ calibration. At first I was really disappointed, the sound was so low and really bad. But right after calibration it was amazing! Really the change is worth it, add the surround speakers and you will be surprised.

Underwhelmed
Disappointed. Thought speakers would be more noticeable but volume is weak relative to soundbar. Also, impossible to set up without the app which requires an operating system which my i-phone 7 can not achieve.

Simply Amazing!
We have enjoyed these little powerhouses for several weeks now and love the sound environment they create! Dolby Atmos is simply amazing with the Bose surround speakers, soundbar 600 and base module. They were super easy to pair and the iPhone app. works great.

???Can't connect!
I have always loved Bose products... the Bose surround sound speakers will not connect to any of my devices! I've spent hours trying to download remotes and trying to find a way for them to connect. I know I will appreciate their quality when I can get them to work!

Good speakers
I purchased this item a few weeks ago. Works great. Only problem that I'm having is I don't have a smart phone so I'm not able to adjust the sound. To bad this can't be done with the remote.

Great addition to my sound system.
I am very happy that I purchased these speakers a couple of weeks ago. They work nicely with my Smart Sound Bar 900 and Base Module500. Just be prepared to try more than once to get the speakers to connect. I think it was the third time I tried when finally they connected and it has been smooth sailing ever since. They are an amazing addition.

Hello Mike, I am sorry to hear the Bose Surround Speakers aren't meeting your expectations, one way you can improve the quality of sound is run through the Adaptiq Process to calibrate the speakers with your soundbar https://bose.life/3IddHY8
