Default Is BOSE Worth The Money?

I have seen these speakers on the market and they are very pricey! The speakers are very small, and there usually is not a lot of them in a package. What about these speakers makes them so good, and so expensive?

Well they have to be good speakers if they're named after Dr. Bose himself. My uncle has a Home Theater Bose set of speakers and he loves them, but I honestly can't tell a difference between those and my JBL 5 speaker surround sound setup. Kind of hard to compare, but I'm interested to see some of the responses on this thread.

That is all just a big scam because they are so NAME brand. Speakers are pretty much the same, when you get into the higher prices.

Go ahead, someone correct me and say, "NO WAY! THERE ARE SPEAKERS OUT THERE THAT ARE TERRIBLE!"

Get a good reliable brand. Read the reviews. Don't waste your money when you don't have to.

BOSE is such a big name, and they are so innovative with their products. This is the big things that catches people, and makes them want to buy the product.

Just because their name is so big and well known doesn't mean they are the best. Remember that. There are other companies out there that can make a much better product for a much smaller price tag.

Seems as though not everyone thinks BOSE is so great. I looked through the online Best Buy catalog, and I found nothing by them that I would like to have in my house. Everything is so overpriced that I couldn't imagine what it would be like to buy that one speaker.

If you don't think it is worth you spending the money, the by all means don't do it. You can find something that will suite your needs just fine at a much smaller cost to you. I don't see BOSE going on sale anytime soon either.

Don't waste your money on BOSE speakers when you could be getting such better quality from speakers like JBL and Polk Audio. There are also many others that are cheaper, and perform just as good, if not better! Try Sony, Samsung, Toshiba, etc.

I think they are absolutely worth the money! Have you ever heard them? They are amazing and can get the whole room and a crowded party filled with your tunes. And the portable ones are so great for vacations or hanging out outside. they are second to none!

I've heard them, and I have heard them in a house before, not just the store. There is no speaker worth that kind of money. They simply just play sounds, but at higher levels than others.

I don't like the fact that the 901s have to be driven by an equalizer. A speaker should be good enough on its own. Without the equalizer, the 901s are horrible.
