Might as well BURN your money!!!

Date of Review:  Feb 15, 2000
Review: While many people plunk their money down in Bose products, few know that for the same price they could be getting much better products that offer so much more. For many people Bose is an easy decision; everyone knows the name, seen the advertising,...

Small Speakers, Big Sound!

Date of Review:  Feb 5, 2001
The Bottom Line: Superb sound in small package. Doesn't take up much space but gives you the excellent quality of large systems.
Review: My parents bought this system several years back and to this day these speakers still sound crisp and high quality. We set up the speakers in the extra room where the acoustics usually made sounds echo or sound hollow. But, with the Bose speakers...

"Friends Don't Let Friends Buy Bose" -Anonymous

Date of Review:  Mar 8, 2000
Review: Let me say right off the bat: these speakers are terrible. They were the first "real" speakers that I ever purchased. I bought them because I completely bought into the hype and the Bose stereo in my parent's car sounded pretty good (on reflection,...

Bose- It's perfect for me!

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2000
Review: It may not meet your needs but it is perfect for me. I listen to soul, rap, hip-hop, and r&b. I own a Bose Acoustimass 5 series II speaker system, and it has been the greatest electronic investment of my life! This is the one with the Acoustimass...

Not For Serious Music

Date of Review:  Jul 26, 2000
Review: I ended up returning my Bose Acoustimass 5 series III system after just one day. It simply did not meet up to my expectations. It did not sound nearly as good as the ESM-3 bookshelf speakers I was replacing. One of my ESM-3's developed a rattle, but...

Good for music only!

Date of Review:  Dec 8, 2000
Review: Many audiophiles consider Bose Speakers the top of the line speakers. This was true for a very long time but now the market has challenged the Bose line.

Bose speakers are great for those only interested in listening to music. The...

Bose Acoustimass 5 III Speaker System

Date of Review:  Oct 29, 2009
Review: These Bose Acoustimass Speakers are very over-rated. I pretty much gave an arm and a leg for them and they aren't as good as Sony! I would go out and buy Sony speakers, for half the price, becuse the Sony speakers have better sound and quality. Just...
