Bose

Small enclosures, and system design over specification

By

In brief

An American manufacturer whose soundbars and surround speakers are sold on how they behave in a room rather than on published driver and power figures. Reviewed here: Bose Surround Speakers, Bose TV Speaker. Both had an Amazon.com offer on October 25, 2026, from $229 to $399.

What they actually do

Soundbars and companion surround speakers, designed as systems that pair with each other rather than with other brands.

How we treat the missing figures

This brand publishes fewer specifications than most of this catalog. Where a driver count, a power rating or a frequency response is not published, these pages say it is not published rather than estimating one.

The two Bose products on this site

The Bose TV Speaker is a compact bar with two angled full-range drivers and a center tweeter for vocals, a dialogue mode and a bass boost on the remote, Dolby decoding, and HDMI, optical and AUX inputs. It ships with an optical cable only, its wall brackets are sold separately, and it publishes no wattage. It had an Amazon.com offer at $229 on October 25, 2026.

The Bose Surround Speakers are rear speakers under 4 in tall that connect wirelessly to a Bose soundbar — not to an AV receiver — and need a power outlet at each speaker. They were $399 the same day, and publish no driver size or response.

Building a Bose system

The parts are designed for each other, but not every bar takes every add-on. The Bose Surround Speakers’ listing pairs them wirelessly with a Bose soundbar; the TV Speaker’s listing names the Bass Module 500 or 700 as its add-on and no surround speakers, so check the bar’s own compatibility list before buying rears. Either way, a Bose system cannot be mixed with a receiver or another maker’s speakers.

What each Bose review concluded

  • Bose Surround Speakers — It will not connect to an AV receiver — it wirelessly pairs with a Bose soundbar and needs AC power at each speaker.
  • Bose TV Speaker — Two hundred and twenty-nine dollars on October 25, 2026 for two channels, no subwoofer, no HDMI cable and no wall brackets — and the most precise dimensions on the shelf, down to the remote’s weight.
