First, let me clarify that I don't know anything about sound systems or speakers. It's not really my thing. But when the internal speakers in my flatscreen television started going out, I quickly realized it would be significantly cheaper to buy external speakers than to replace the TV. Boy am I glad I did! The Bose 3-2-1 GSX Home Theater System didn't just do the job of replacing speakers, it makes watching movies at home feel like the movie theaters. Amazing. The sound quality is fantastic. Clear as a bell. And you can physically feel the sound when the bass is going strong. It was extremely easy to install too, and I'm one of the least technology-familiar people ever so that really says a lot. I was actually shocked at how quickly I managed to set it up without help. Honestly, I wish I'd bought the Bose 3-2-1 GSX Home Theater System years ago.

We got this system to replace our old home entertainment system that decided to go out on us. After months of looking (and purchasing and returning a different brand), we spent the extra money and went with Bose. So glad we did. These speakers are small and take up hardly any room, but man do they blast the sound. With the exception of the subwoofer, they fit perfectly on our entertainment center. They really do provide amazing quality sound. We haven't even gotten them up to full volume yet and there is no distortion or problem from the speakers that you might find in other products. Watching movies certainly provides the theater sound. When we watch television, if it gets too loud, it's as simple as turning them off. I can't get over the quality of sound. We have had several brands before this and they really just don't stand up as well as these. They may be pricey, but they are well worth the extra money.

The Bose 3-2-1 Home theater system is by far the best all-in-one aystem that you can buy. Without seeing it, you would never notice that it is a small system. The highs aee so crisp and clear. The midrange is powerful, and the lows are so tihjt and deep that you would think you were liatening to concert speakers or a club sound system. Anyone looking for fast and easy set up will also appreciate how wasy it ia to install and initially set up.

The BOSE 3-2-1 GSX Home Theater system is simply the only one you will ever need. Setup is a breeze and fast. If you have had a home theater before, you will find its really a smart and compact system which fits into any setup pretty easily. The sound from the system is simply incredible and feels like you have a real 7.1 system setup. The bass is just incredible and sounds like you are right there in the action. The player does play DVD's, but i wish they also had the ability to play a blu-ray disc. i can just imagine what a blu-ray would have sounded like on this system. If you get an Ipod or Iphone adapter you can even play all your ipod or iphone music thru the system. Ordinary CD music tracks sound great and it is a great way to relax after a long hard day. The display has a green read out with basic info like the track, disc and song. The side speakers are wired and you would have to setup the system in such a way that you can hide them. I wish the two side speakers were wireless, so you could place the two speakers anywhere you wanted. In all this is one of the best systems out there.

This bose theater sound system is the greatest sound system i have ever listened to. Me and my family like to have movie nights in our house and so we like it to feel like we are in a real theater. Setting up the system is very simple and there are hardly any disturbing cords. The speakers are not bulky so that makes them a lot less noticeable in the house. The sound quality is very clear and i can hear everything that is coming from my television in great quality. The price is very expensive, but if you are a movie or a music buff, you will find that it is worth it. There is not that many parts to this set, but when they are all working together, it is very good and sounds fantastic. The weight of each speaker is also very light.

BOSE has always been a quality maker of all things audio. I really like this home theater system because its unoticeable. IT has extremely small speakers which can be easily hidden. Not only that, but it is reliable and consistent with the quality of its sound. You can hear the low basses and all the ranges. Moreover, for someone like me who is always not so good with installing these electronic things, it was a breeze to install. All in all it is a great speaker system for a small entertainment room. ABout the price, its not that extremely cheap for what you get. I suggest you test these out in the store if you think the sound quality is worth the price because im not an audiophile. Even besides the steep price tag, I think this is a solid system for any home owner to create their small living room into a movie theatre. In the end, if you get it you won't regret it because the quality is there.

Bose is at the upper level of sound systems. The price is too. That being said, if you can afford to buy a Bose, do it. It is worth the extra money. The surround sound is incredible for there being only two speakers and one woofer. The bass that comes out is as clean sounding as you can dream of. It feels like the room is shaking if you have it up loud enough. The sound quality that comes out of this product rivals that of a movie theater sound system. If you do not like to listen to your tv loud, or have a movie theater type of experience, then don't waste your money on the Bose system. You can get decent sound for a lot cheaper. However, if you want to hear your television like never before, and if you want to experience movies and sporting events like never before, then get this Bose sound system and you will be blown away. If feels like you are in the movie or at the game. Everyone should experience Bose at least once in their lifetime.

Keeping in mind that this is a smaller Bose system- it's not one that goes all around your room and rattles you off of your couch- it's amazing! It makes listening to music and watching movies so much better! The detail that it picks up is incredible- especially for my husband's blow em up movies. :) The floor speaker is kind of big, but not bad since you really want good bass sound and you're going to have to get a speaker that size anyways. The other speakers are a lot smaller and would be pretty easy to hide. We didn't hide ours because we don't mind them showing. They are just small and black nothing obnoxious or anything. It was easy to install, too! We didn't get ours brand new so there was no instruction booklet or anything like that, but he was able to just go ahead and plug it in using normal connections and it started working right away! If you want a nice sound system that isn't over the top, this is great.

I have this theater setup in my house for almost six months now and it is superior to every single other type of setup I have ever had, tried, or been in. The speakers produce the best sound that money can buy and can be heard properly from every seat in the room. Best of all, the speakers are small and can easily be hidden or put away in out of the way places, yet still produce superior sound quality all around the room. The price is not cheap - this setup is expensive. But you get what you pay for. You will likely have to save for this setup, but it is definitely top notch. Most importantly, the setup is easy, so you will not have to pay some know it all to set it up for you. You can do this yourself and still have great sound quality all throughout the room. Therefore, I highly recommend this home theater package to anyone in the market for one - the price is high- but the the quality cannot be beat.

Bose has such amazing products. They can get very pricey but wow, the difference is VERY noticeable. The sound is just amazing and it has so many options! You can choose from a simple "package" to a high tech system with multiple options and add-ons. We did have our 3-2-1 system stop working, but we took it back to the store we had purchased it from (we had purchased a warranty) and they were able to give us a new system. It comes with a subwoofer (which I will admit, does take up quite a bit of room unless you have a cabinet or something that you can hide it in or under) and 2 small speakers and you wouldn't think it would be very loud, but I am constantly telling my husband to turn it down. Since having a Bose system, I would never want to downgrade because it does everything in just 1 box. It has so many different sources you can choose from (cable/satellite, AM/FM radio, CD/DVD, etc. etc.) I just love this system!
