🔊 Bose 161 Speaker System (Pair) - Black: Immerse in Enriched Audio Experience Review

Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I can confidently say that this speaker system has exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is crystal clear and the bass is impressive. Setup was a breeze, making it easy to use for all electronics. The only downside is the steep price point. However, if you can afford it, it's definitely worth the investment for a top-of-the-line home theater experience.

I returned them after comparing them to the Polk OWM3 (which is $50 cheaper). The Bose speakers lacked treble clarity, and the bass was muffled and compressed. The Polk speakers just sounded better (they have a two-way woofer and tweeter design compared to Bose's tiny 3-inch speakers), are cheaper, and offer more mounting options. Very happy with Revain's response to the return.

What I liked about the speakers is nothing. What I want is some bass. Once I hooked up the speakers and turned on the amp, I had to max out the bass to hear anything. I was shocked at the bad sound. I did a test and found the speakers wouldn't work much below 180Hz. The midrange was ok, but from about 3kHz it sounded terrible. I've heard cheap $40 bookshelf speakers sound a lot better. I tried to find the frequency response characteristics but Bose doesn't publish them, now I know why.
