Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Sound is imagine, can't complaint. The sound quality is stunning. Needless to say, the sound is as expected - amazing!

It has even more oomph behind the bass as well as a bit cleaner sounding bass. One interesting difference from the 600 to the v35 is on the 600 the front 3 speakers are connected with one thick cable directly to the back of the console which splits in... Read More

My older sony smart system was left wanting, massively. The only draw back to this system is it's hefty price of $4000+ which to me is a bit inflated.

Setup was easy, the instructions are clear, and the onscreen setup is very well designed. Easy to experiment with speaker positioning at a whim. Auto updates are established as and when required, with clear instructions given onscreen.

Lifestyle 650 is as good a theater system as you can buy combining great sound, a quality feel, aesthetics, all around a legendary name like bose make for it to be not heard but experienced. The 650 is the ideal system if you have an open floor panel ... Read More

Cons

The omni jewel sound system should be $2500-$3000 at most. Show me a real movie theater, with bose speakers in it. Your idea of speaker connections is a solder-tinned wire at the end of a $50 molded cable?

Can only view pix of install. Also, the sub goes offline randomly. Went to the local bose store to try and get help, to no avail.

Is it worth $4000 msrp? Starting to regret this purchase. Not worth the premium price point. Be wary of bose build quality and customer service.

Display is dull and resembles something you would have expected to find on a 1990s nintendo gameboy, except smaller. Hdmi cec and arc functionality is a shambles. Short sighted product development or lack of product knowledge.

Maybe someday, maybe. But it's slow and feels clunky. Doesn't really allow for the future of things to come. At least that's what i'm told, anyways.

The original system was defective as the receiver kept flickering.

A week after the initial connection, the system dropped out.

Price

While the price tag might be a bit steep, the experience this system delivers is worth every penny.

This is an outstanding system for the price.

(although i admit it was a little on the pricey side)

I think it is a bit expensive.

Shipping

Seller packs items extremely well, no shipping damage and seller ships quickly with no lag time.

The rep even called me back 10 min later to make sure everything went through as it was supposed to - great customer service.

I was delighted to get through in minutes, and the agent routed me to a specialist specifically for this system.

Packaging/appearance

Unboxing was a pleasure, the rig arrives in a fabulously well put together pack, a little smaller than a dishwasher, very well boxed.

I originally purchased the 650 from frys electronics and upon receiving the system the first thing that comes to mind is how or... Read More

For $3000 it should have a remote that is not so incredibly packed with buttons that you have no idea where you're pressing.

I have to say it was not a very pleasant experience, and i had doubt if it ever gonna work (i saved the box just in case we had... Read More

Competitiveness

I highly recommend going with the lifestyle 600 over the soundtouch 300 setup.

The internet says all of this is due to a cec compatibility issues in a lack of standard since cec used used by bose to turn on... Read More

I was looking to make some upgrades and was looking at bose.
