Bose Surround Wireless Speakers

Box says Virtually Invisible Series II. Good luck finding them in a seach. They don't pair with the soundbar 500. Product support is non-existent.

Hello. I have a Cinemate 2 system. Will the surround speakers link with soundtouch wireless link adapter via WiFi?

Bought these a couple days after the 500 soundbar. They are a must have! Really make a difference. Super easy setup. Look great.

I have the same issue as a previous person.
I bought them last month. I’m a big fan of Bose speakers. I have had 701's for decades.
I dont need to write this myself as my problem is exactly the same. So i will copy the content from "Banniish"

However, I found a crazy thing about these surround speakers. I was playing music and realized it was not a clear and smooth sound form the surrounds. I tried to figure out what wrong was with it. Here is the funny result!!! When you turn down the center level to -10 (doesn’t matter what the surrounds level is) from SoundTouch app audio settings, the surrounds become incredibly clear and kind of louder! When you turn the center level up to +10 (w/o touching the surrounds level), oh my god!!! They sound like a 20$ portable speaker!!! I even go further to make sure I was not wrong! I put the speakers in a room, closed the door so I was able to hear the surround speakers alone! Disappointingly, the same results! I tested them playing music on Youtube (using HDMI ARC connection), via Bluetooth, and on my computer (using HDMI cable). The same results. . Please don’t tell me if I’ve run ADAPTiQ calibration or not. I’ve sure done.

My summary is, if you turn the centre channel down the surround speaker volume and quality increase substantially. Yes the channel quality changes dramatically.

I dont understand how people can rave about this surround system, maybe they have never had a good one to compare to.

I completely regret buying this system.

got it last week, the 500 surround speakers you can bearlyl hear them when watching tv, but do sound better when playing music, not very happy with them, kinda worthless.

I bought them last week from Amazon. I’m a big fan of Bose speakers. However, I found a crazy thing about these surround speakers. I was playing music and realized it was not a clear and smooth sound form the surrounds. I tried to figure out what wrong was with it. Here is the funny result!!! When you turn down the center level to -10 (doesn’t matter what the surrounds level is) from SoundTouch app audio settings, the surrounds become incredibly clear and kind of louder!

I put the speakers in a room, closed the door so I was able to hear the surround speakers alone! Disappointingly, the same results! I tested them playing music on Youtube (using HDMI ARC connection), via Bluetooth, and on my computer (using HDMI cable). The same results. Tested my friend’s Virtually Invisible 300! Again, the same results. Please don’t tell me if I’ve run ADAPTiQ calibration or not. I’ve sure done. Please test yours first and tell me if mine and my friend’s are defective or it’s an issue for this model. (I know these and Virtually invisible 300 are identical). If I don’t find an answer to this issue, I will have to return them and look for another soundbar system cuz I had a plan to have a 5.1 sound system when I bought the soundtouch 300 in the first place.

I got these surround speakers maybe almost a year. To be frank, I am not satisfied with it. The sounds are not even noticeable. It’s so slow. I paired it with my soundbar 700 and bass module 700. I don’t what to do to make it work good!!

I just got the rear speakers and I am very disappointed, the sound is very low I tried everything different set ups, adaptik with the speakers far away, different volumes for the 700 system and bass module, restart the bar, everything, what can I do? Very poor sound these two speakers.

I read review after review `about these and they really are 50:50 for and against. I saw reviews like they add nothing, they are muffled etc etc. Its taken me 3 years to finally decide to get these and complete my system and they are awesome. They add the depth of sound that is missing from 2.1 system and so glad I invested. East to setup and easy to adjust for your room and listening preferences.

Great buy in my book but you have to set them up for your taste.

The only negative and its a small one is Bose on the next edition should reduce the size of the receiver and amplifier for them.

Purchased these wireless surround speaker to complete the 5.1.2 home theatre experience but i really got disappointed for the quality of the output vs price. Just for the name its wireless but the really its come with long black speaker cables wire and we need to hide it. Have to Screw the wire to the adapter which not so great design in 2019.. most of the time the wires comes out the screw. The quality of surround is not good i hardly feel the difference with and without surround. Did the adapt IQ but no use.
Pros:- simple design with classic look
Cons:- price, minimal output , bad design, not fully wireless

I have bought this product and am really happy with the sound quality .. however stting it up was not that easy as instructions are not clear enough in the package... I would like to know as to how many surround sound speakers can be set up with the soundbar???

Bought this a week ago and I’m loving it Great design and sound quality

I bought it yesterday and it sounds great I mean it connects to my Bose soundbar 700. I hear more music now. I 100% enjoy it.

They only down side it needs a wire for power but I get that because all speakers needs power for wireless part of it but too many cables to do that.

Spent some time listening to these speakers today. First of all ease of use and connectivity was super easy and was quickly done (using sound touch 300 sound bar) I have not done adaptig yet and I am already impressed with the speakers sound and performance. Once I complete the setup and mount them on the wall I will be more excited to hear what it would sound like.

Though the speakers have the sound and look I was looking for ... my goal was to hang them behind me on the ceiling.. w/o wires showing so I figured I buy wireless,,,, we’ll the deceiving part is that thought they advertise wireless... there are not fully wireless.. So had to buy stand for the system .. which was a hole other story ... they don’t advertise a mount for them and ended up buying a set and modified them so to these speakers not having a screw hole made it very hard to mount but after some MacGyvering I got all set up and pretty happy.

Let’s start with the instructions. If you have a soundbar 500 or 700 it states to use method 1. For method1, just use the app, that’s it, but oh know, you still need to do the hook up in method 2. By virtually invisible, what they really mean is you need to hook up a speaker wire, then hook that to a wireless port (which is bigger than the speakers), and finally plug that in to an outlet! Looks like these things are going back.

Bought these to go with soundtouch 300. They work and are quite good. easy to set up etc. biggest issue is hiding the mains / receiver box. It's bigger than the speakers and looks ugly on a corner back shelf. Given this is a common configuration I'm surprised Bose couldn't do better, i..e design all the interface electronics into the same box as the speaker. Yes it would make these nearly invisible speakers be larger but with the current design they are hardly that when the two are placed together.

Feels less than premium when I have to screw the speaker cable in my self, surely this is an oversight in design? Plastic backing to the speakers feels cheap.

Don’t get me started on the size of the power packs, seriously they are bigger than the speakers themselves... not really invisible if your ask me.

Sound... meh.

No ability to play music separately.

Should have stuck with the Sonos Beam and the Sones Ones.

Bought the Bose 500 subwoofer and sound surround speakers last week. Extremely difficult to setup. Bose app doesn’t find the subwoofer or sound surround speakers. Will be returning!

Disappointed that the brackets to affix to floor stands not included.

Bose is only great for singular purpose use. Each time i’ve purchased Bose products I’ve been disappointed with lack of compatibility.
I’ve got quite a few Soundlink devices(4), Sounchtouch devices (6) plus the 700 soundbar with its accessories (Bass, 4 sets of these surround speakers). Yet none of these work together. I’ve purchased a few sets of these speakers to place around the Home so I could at least have music playing through the rooms, yet after further research now see they’re only good for providing background noise of a car crash in movies. Bose support are quite unhelpful.
Product is great if you want it all in one room for movies, that’s it. It’s useless for music. This is the last time I will be buying any more Bose products.

Awesome little speakers. I can adjust the bass on the Bose app as well as turn up these little speakers and get the full stereo surround sound effect.

Excellent investment the sound is well put together.

Checked this out in one of my colleague's place. Got blown away

This product will not pair with the soundbar 700 and its a waste of money so jos I’m stuck with expensive paperweights

Bought these to help my husband to hear our new Samsung tv withBose700 soundbar. They only broadcast music absolutely no speech and definitely do not supply surround sound. We are seriously disappointed and are considering returning themto JB Hifi for a refund.

Paired with the Bose Soundbar, these 'virtually invisible' surround speakers transformed my lounge into a cinema.

I have had this set up with the 700 sound bar and 700 sub woofer. AMAZING!! Even with Xfinity’s weak signal. 4K movies = Awesome!! I am very happy. Replaced a Sony set up. There is no comparison to the Bose.

my surround speakers only emit very low level sound seem to make no difference

BOSE is boss!! I originally purchased a Sonos sound system and returned it to the store as I was not satisfied with the sound quality. I knew BOSE’s reputation was justified when I set up my Surround Wireless Speakers. In a word...Amazing!! The sound was bold and beautiful!!

Bought sound bar 700 with surround sound speaker and trust me the surround speakers are hard to setup as it has small screws ad the adapter doesn’t fit in the rear speakers and often loses the connection. I am tired checking them. Not at all happy.
The adapter to the speaker disconnects physically every now and then.

I just purchased Bose Surround Speakers to compliment the Soundbar 700 which I bought several more months ago. Honestly the 700 pleased me so much that I thought i did not need surround speakers. Best Buy offers a 15 day, full refund return policy, so I figured I’d give the surround speakers a try. Glad I did, they are a great add, For my videos that support Atmos/Vision & Dolby Digital the seperation is supurb. For music, the surround speakers add depth. There is a volume control for the Surround Speaker in the Bose Music App under Adjustments. Glad I tried them. Ver pleased.

I’ve had these speakers for about 2 weeks but for some reason 3 trips to Best Buy and still can’t get the right mounting brackets to mount them to the wall. Hope there is one out there somewhere

Awsome addition to my surround sound system

Bought the UFS-20 II stand with these speakers. Speakers sound good enough...on the end tables. The stands do NOT work with these speakers at all.

I have set them up in my vacation home with the bar and sub. 700. The app is a pain and the speakers will not stay connected to the bar... I should have stuck with sonos

The surround speakers by itself sound good but the power cables are annoyingly bad designed.
It is a task to hide them as they are bigger than the speakers themselves.
And providing black black power cables with white speakers? I don't get that point.
Same goes with bose soundbar 700 and subwoofer 700. Black power cables ruin the aesthetics

I bought the Bose Soundbar 500 and Subwoofer and love it! The sound is great and have several other Bose speakers. My only disappointment is that I cannot group Alexa with my other Alexas. I hope Bose will eventually have the capability.

These small speakers really pack a punch. I have been using them with the Bose Soundbar 700 and the sound is phenomenal. Setup was super easy using WiFi and Bluetooth and my phone. No miles off trailing speaker cables as each speaker has its own power cable and connects wirelessly to the soundbar.
Music videos sound awesome and I really get immersed in films with the 360° sound.
If you want top notch surround sound quality, you won't be disappointed with these little gems.

I have these as an addition to my Soundbar 700 and have enjoyed their use. They are of an excellent quality and design and fit seamlessly into the home. I have not found a way to increase the volume in them though so it can often be a bit quiet, but this is not a big issue. The only other issue I have had with them was during set up, I found that the instructions were not super clear on how to set them up and also thought that given the price of them it was annoying to have to do some of the wiring yourself. Overall though this is a great addition to your sound bar and I have really enjoyed them so far! Would recommend them to people who really love to immerse themselves into the whole environment when watching TV or listening to music.

These speakers like most BOSE products I own are excellent quality however this SoundTouch 300 system has been extremely unreliable for pairing. The sound bar itself is sensational but it is a constant effort to keep the sub paired and the rear speakers have worked on and off since purchasing and I regret not taking it all back when I had the chance. Rear speakers now won’t pair at all. The app to control these products is far from what you would expect from a company like BOSE and it is very ‘cluncky’.

I received this a mo the ago and found that it couples up well with the Bose 700 soundbar.

When also used with shine cinema sub woofer the whole system seems to leave the cinema feeling right in your home. With crystal clear quality at low prices

These lovely little boxes are the perfect size to not be a hindrance or asthetical nightmare in your home

I bought 2 Sets of Speaker that means 4 Speaker, Was able to connect them as well with Combination of Soundbar 700 and Bass 700. Speakers Size are so small which I never expected and didn't like sound as well as its very less and if volume is adjusted via app then I lose voice of soundbar. I tried to make a good home theater with combination of Soundbar 700 + Bass 700 + 4 Speakers but very dissappointed. Never expected from Boss and this Wireless Connectivity seems very odd as you need Wifi, don't know why Wifi Dependency has been built because if WIFI is down then the whole system is down, atleast it should have Bluetooth connectivity if customer don't have wifi at home or need an alternative as you can relay of wifi all the time.

Looking forward on some other solution on Boss for making good home theater combination with this.

I've been using these speakers with the Bose Soundbar 700 for a month now and the sound is fantastic. The set up was a doddle. Unlike my previous speakers which had wires trailing everywhere, each speaker plugs into the mains and connects to the soundbar via its own Wi-Fi. Place the speakers where you want them and then go through the set up using your phone and the gizmo that comes with the speakers. It allows you to choose 5 favourite positions around the room for optimum surround sound.
I've listened to music videos and watched films, and the great thing about this surround system is that because of the set up, you don't notice that it's surround sound, it just seems like natural should so you really immerse yourself in what you are watching. With my old system, I would hear sound from the nearest speaker over the others which was really annoying.
Each speaker has a left/right button so you can't get the set up wrong.
These are pricy, but if you are looking for quality surround sound, you can't do better than these speakers.

Great little speakers, I have these linked to my Soundtouch 300 soundbar along with a bass module and am very pleased with the overall package.

These speakers are nice and neat in themselves but they do come along with 2 boxes that need to be plugged in and wired to the speakers so they are not quite as compact and wireless as you are lead to believe, you do however get a cool little Bose screwdriver to help you do this in the box. once wired up they did connect wirelessly to the soundbar without a problem.

The sound from these is great and they do complete the home cinema experience, as with all Bose products the sound that comes out of these is far bigger than you would expect from such a small package. They cope with movies and music equally as well which means I often group the soundbar in with other devices in a soundtouch group when listening to music during the day

I've been using these speakers for about a month, and they've been excellent. Setup takes a few minutes, but once done, your surround sound is set up for the exact space you have and where people are sitting.

If I had to point out a flaw, I'd say perhaps the soundbar's automatically powering off when the TV is turned off can be a bit of a pain, but even then, it's not really that bad.

Setup is easy, use is easy, troubleshooting hasn't needed to happen as of yet, so I can't speak to that. Overall, definitely worth the time and money!

The acoustic sound delivered in my apartment is phenomenal! I’m so glad I added these two speakers to the system

RThese two Bose Surround speakers connected seamlessly to my Bose Soundbar. Using wireless connectivity, they were up and running in no time at all. Less than six inches high,these two Bose speakers created an immersive soundtrack for every movie I watched. Voices came from behind me, bullets flew from left to right, planes flew away in to the distance, bullets ricocheted around the room and explosions were truly stunning. The deep base notes coupled with clear and audible voices gave every film a new dimension and turned them in to a cinematic experience. Even the sound on normal television programmes seemed clearer and more defined. When music was played through the speakers, it was crisp and clear, but not drowned out and overpowered by bass notes.
Although not cheap, I think you get what you pay for and these units have certainly had some favourable comments made about them from visitors at my house. I think some may even have become Bose converts.

If the setup process was better on the soundbar700, then i would give both 700 and these amazing surround speakers a glowing 5 stars... but that didn't happen so it definitely took off a lot of points on both.

Do note, these speakers are amazing! I am only giving it 4 stars because i had a bad experience setting up the 700, which came with these surround system.

Pros:
1) This makes you feel like you are immersed in to whatever you are listening/watching with the speakers. Wow.
2) They are very tiny compared to the power it gives
3) With adaptiq, these surround speakers work magic and takes you away.
4) Super easy to setup!

Cons:
1) i can't think of any!

I bought the Bose soundbar700 & the bass module 700 a few days back. Today I bought the Bose surround speakers as well from a Bose store in my country. The spaeakers box is of Bose ‘surround speakers’ but when I opened the box, the individual speaker boxes had Bose invisible speakers series ll written on them. I am posting the pictures as well but my question is whether I’ve been fooled or this is the way it is supposed to be?
