I bought these pair of speakers to replace my old Roland speakers that I bought five years ago. I received them today and I already packed them back for a return. The quality of the sound did not meet the expectations at all. Furthermore, the quality is way down below the quality of a couple of average speakers that would sell for $30.00 (and this sells for $99!!!)- With some particular music, the sound was delivered like in waves, coming in and back randomly. I could not understand or figure out why, At less than 50% of the volume, these speakers are a joke. To start getting something our of them, you need to use more than 50% of the volume. And still, the sound is not impressive at all. I was comparing them with my old Roland, and my Roland deliver much more than this at 25% of their power. I was using my desktop and my laptop at the same time with the same exact song to see the difference, and I am confident that these Bose speakers are not good at all. So back to the box, and I am enjoying my Roland speakers again. I am NOT recomending this to absolutely anybody. They are extremely overpriced and they do NOT deliver what they were supposed to. Thanks for reading.

its so sad that people are still raving about their sound, have any of you listened to other equipment? maybe the name bose just makes it ok to make and sell junk from the 90s and 80s, other speaker manufactures have made leaps in bounds in music and movie sound reproduction in the past 20 years, bose is the same old bose, they sell the same mediocre stuff(at least its become cheaper) but they still cant get this stuff too work all the time, what are they doing if not upgrading the sound to where every other company?

people let your ears do the deciding not the name of the company.

I bought these speakers yesterday, and tested them with my wife’s Viewsonic High Definition 27″ tv where I wanted more volume and full sound. Speakers performed great, but where did the engineers place the ON/OFF switch? Nowhere. Well, now I feel stupid. TODAY: I received info from Bose. “The speakers shut off automatically, after a couple of minutes, if no signal is being sent to them. They reactivate when a signal is sent to them again. No need to fumble around looking for a shut off switch.

Thank you for contacting Bose Corporation.

These do not sound any different than any other cheap computer speaker. There only worth no more than $10. I recommend you go to Big Lots and get speakers with the same sound quality for only $5.99.
