Being bit of an audiophile, I never wanted anything from Bose. These things came to me as a gift(some who thought Bose is audiophile grade, got it for me!), so I didnt had an option. Though they dont THE SAME as any so-called monitors at its price, these are few things which I noticed. 1.

First of all I do not like Bose products. This was my first purchase and I only bought these because I was in Bogota and there was NOTHING else available. These were what I expected. No tweeter means there were no highs to speak of.

Readily available

no highs; boomy bass; noisy electronics with hum

Bottom Line? If you're looking for some basic speakers and aren't too concerned with your listening environment or extreme accuracy - these Bose are great. They work perfectly as a reference monitor to check your mixes before you finalize them.

Bought these speakers for watching movies on our projector on our back patio for family gatherings. They had good sound quality and my Techie College student decided the quality was terrific & took them back to college! Hmmm I'll have to buy them again for me! Great price.

Right about now I am pretty pleased with Bose . Before I thougth they made fantastic products but they were generally unafordable to a lot of people. While a lot of us could marvel at the great sounds Bose units produce, how many of us realistically have a spare thousand bucks lying around to put...

Here I am looking at two sets of small speakers, the first from Creative are a wired Bluetooth unit that is similar in size and shape to the second from Bose, a name I associate with high end audio but here at a cheaper price.
