Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought these a year ago and still love them. I shopped for speakers to fit into a new TV console that had small openings for my stereo equipment. These fit perfectly ( 4" deep X 4" high X 11" wide ) and look really nice, Sound is good, too. You can't go wrong with Bose.

I like the clear crisp sound that comes from these speakers i use two of them for my surround sound and 2 my for my mini stereo system

Im using these for my rear surround speakers for my home theater system. I have them mounted on the wall pointed downwards towards the center of the room. They look nice, feel solid and high quality. I have not tried using these and stand alone shelf speakers so I cant tell you how powerful or loud they are. For surrounds they work great, I would not use these without a sub if your looking to hear that bass given they only have 2.5" drivers. Got these for $169 at best buy so for the money I cant complain. If they were say $50 more I would take em back or pay a little more for a higher end bose model.

Greetings! So I already have a set of Accoustimass 10 speakers in my home and decided to upgrade my Home Theater system from 5.1 to 7.2. surround sound. I needed one extra set of speakers and wanted the excellent sound of BOSE! These speakers are stand alone and hook directly into the receiver and NOT to an accoustimass or sound processor. I used them as my rear set of speakers (separate) from my Accoustimass 10's. WOW the sound is fantastic. And because they are a little bit bigger they really kick the deeper sounds needed for the rear sound. They are clear and very clean sounding as you would expect from Bose. The price I thought was a little cheap for what your getting. Very nice and attractive set of speakers for the money!

I Decided to purchased these Bose speakers because of its sound, size and price. The sound is very crisp, clear and very loud for its size. They don't project a lot of bass but that didn't bother me so if you're looking for something with more bass, I recommend you buy a subwoofer. Overall, good purchased!

These Bose speakers deliver excellent sound and acoustics. They do not take up much space and can be mounted also. The price is very reasonable and one gets the benefits of Bose technology.

We already had one pair to replace some black bose 101,s. We moved up to a 7.1 surround system and these blend better with the ceiling. The sound for the size is typical Bose ..sounds very good for surround speakers... I wish there was a little more clearance between the ceiling and the speaker so the tilt could have reached the next slot on the bracket. But that is minor.

There are better Bose, but for the money and space I have, these 161 sound great. I'm using them as rear speakers for my surround sound, with 2 boxed Bose speakers in the front ( I've had for over 35 years) and a Bose center channel. The highs and lows are so good, that at times I think I'm hearing something outside. Very pleased.

I needed small bookshelf speakers and these were the perfect ones. They sound great, fit perfectly in a small space and were reasonably priced. If you are looking for quality sound at a reasonable price for brand name speakers, these are the ones to get.

I purchased these to be used as the rear surround speakers in my home theater. I like the fact that the speakers are wall mountable and come with brackets to do so. Sound quality is excellent and these are definitely a huge step up in quality from the old pair they have replaced. I am very happy with this purchase.

I have purchase Bose for the normal (superb) sound and I have not been disappointed! Would have been welcome if Bose would have provide at least 25 feet of speaker wire as this was an additional purchase and cost from retailer.

I was looking for a nice set of surround sound speakers that I could have mounted in the rear position up on the wall. These sound really good and for the money are a nice addition to my home audio system.

I wanted a set of speakers with clear sound to fill the room without cluttering the space. These replaced a pair of large floor old school Jensen speakers. These may not get as loud but they are loud enough for what I want. Movies and music in the living room. I'm not looking for dorm busters anymore.

Quality product with the best sound for your money . After my first set I had to add more !

Great speakers. Seem to be good sound quality for the price. Bose usually have great speakers. Very easy to mount as well.

t. Quality of sound is excellent and size is fine for smaller apartment.

Needed new wall speakers for bedroom surround after moving furniture around, these Bose speakers were a great fit and great price for the set and with ALL Bose speakers always sound GREAT! I have them in a 13'x17' master bedroom and the sound just as good with my home theater receiver as my living room. Great overall sound and Bose quality for a surprising low cost for Bose. Highly recommend for any home theater system that needs separate speakers.

We purchased these as the second set for our surround system. We had a pair for the front and were using another brand for the back from our original system. What a difference! The balance with the same four Bose speakers a Bose center and subwoofer running through a Yamaha is amazing. Crisp, clear, deep.

We used these speakers for the rear speakers on 5.2 surround sound system. Mounted them on the wall and they have a pretty good sound for the price.

Fantastic sound in a very small package. Extremely happy with my purchase
