Just picked these up for $20 on letgo app from somebody local. I have and the amazon site sells the brand new model of these speakers for $100. I also find that putting them farther apart makes them sound better.



Cons

Vocals sound receded and muffled. Sound cracks at high volume on my computer (75%) then it comes back, louder than before. The feedback these speakers get from my phone and internet modem is ridiculous. The shielding is useless.

Hi hats sound splashy and brittle. The klispch sound 100x better at teh same price point. As for the sound, these speakers are not so stellar.

Bose's problem is to use a price tag to impress the buyers in stead of focusing on quality.

Apart from having our jobs outsourced, the imported stuff we're buying ain't the national stuff we used to buy. Thank you for contacting bose corporation. However the construction quality is terrible! Save your money for something else.

Quality


The quality of these speakers is impressive.


I will still use my original speakers and i expect they will last another few decades, seeing as how they are so well made.


10 years of great sounding music, then blew right speaker.


I own two sets of these speakers, one set for my pc and another set for a 4k tv that had really bad built-in speakers.

Price


For $100 they sound pretty good hooked up to my pc.


I was absolutely thrilled that they were only $99.


So, if you're trying to decide about the deal you'll be getting by purchasing a used set of speakers, remember, these are $100,...  Read More


I’ve got them hooked up to an apple airport express that i got at thrift store for 20 bucks.

Shipping


Bought these along time ago, didn’t even realize that i bought them from amazon, don’t even know if they still make them.


It arrived quicker then i thought it would.

Packaging/appearance


Someone forgot to pack the power cord, so i was able to use my old cord , and it worked great.


I would have given the speakers 5 stars, but they didn't come with the cd as shown.

Competitiveness


I trust and love the bose brand.


Beyond that, they are pure bose, so if you like the way bose speakers in general present music, you will probably like these desktop units.


I can't complain about 10 years but will not be purchasing the same brand.

    I was disappointed in the condition of the speakers externally


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Well worn one speaker has significant dents and what looks like crayon stuck in the speaker screen


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I do reccomend getting a small amplifier because the bass tends to over power the sound and drowns out the music and lowers the volume a bit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I cant complain about 10 years but will not be purchasing the same brand


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I prefer something that can go louder with more bass however that is not in the 100 price range


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I bought these speakers back in march of 2009


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It might seem like a big chunk of change but these were not your average computer speakers they were bose an i had always wanted to try out a bose product from the very first time i saw a bose advert on tv
