5 out of 5 stars very nice!.......2007-12-26

I received these speakers with the little amplifier as a Christmas gift from my mom and dad. I am very pleased. I am amazed at the sound I get from these speakers considering how small they are. They are very stylish as well. I love the way they look. These speakers put the little black speaker set i used to have to shame. I have had these less than a day and am enjoying them immensely. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a small, portable set of speakers with good sound. If there is any negative it is that they are a little more bulky than some, but the sound they give makes up for that. This is a very nice little set of speakers.

4 out of 5 stars Very cute and great sound........2007-12-10

I bought these just to have them at work to listen to music from my ipod so I could get up and walk away when needed and so I didn't have to have on earphones, I was happy with the sound just from the speakers alone, but when I put the batteries in the amp and plugged everything in I was really surprised. They also come in handy when you want to share what you are watching on your video ipod. I would truly recommend them, they are soooo cute too. So don't forget the AAA batteries when you order a set for yourself or as a gift.

5 out of 5 stars Twenty Dollars!.......2007-11-07

I have been looking for reasonably priced speakers for several months in the chain stores. Well tonight I found them. All others were docking stations for the iPods that were impractible to pack in a small suitcase or briefcase, costing anywhere from 79. to 200+

Well that is no longer a problem. The sound is fine, the size excellent. Do they sound the same as my BOSE headphones? No. They are not supposed to. You get a great sized pair of speakers that run on 3 AAA. Like the title of this review is "Twenty Dollars". A good item at a great price.

1 out of 5 stars LIARS.......2007-09-18

I thought these speakers looked nice and I wanted a small set of speakers that I could plug in at work. WRONG CHOICE!!!!! I processed the return 5 minutes after opening them. They would be great if you were at a picnic in the woods with no outlet around but for my purposes they are not. There is NO WALL PLUG and NO AC ADAPTER PORT. If you want a set of speakers to plug in do not buy!

4 out of 5 stars OK................2007-08-25

These speakers, are pretty good. I have found that they don't go up very high. I have one song that I like, but it is pretty soft, and even when I turn it up all the way I can barely hear it, but other than that I have no complaints what so ever. They work great. One caution though. Don't let little kids touch them. They are tempted to push the silver 'button' in the middle. My younger sister almost ruined mine by dong that. Also, there isn't a wall plug for extra power as stated in description.

Bose VCS-10 Center Channel - Speaker, home theater sound for component systems - Black

Product Description

Special effects add excitement to the home theater experience, but the dialogue in a great movie is just as important. While your front and rear speakers process action and effects, the VCS-10 center channel works with your surround sound receiver to produce dialogue with rich, natural tones that seem to come directly from the screen. Each phrase can be lifelike and clear, so you dont miss a word. The VCS-10 center channel speaker is designed to complement your TV or entertainment center. Its patented Compound Loaded® drivers deliver clear, cinema-like dialogue. And Articulated Array® speaker design locks dialogue on screen and provides a large consistent sound field for a cinema-like experience. The VCS-10 center channel speaker features slim, sleek dimensions that complement your television or entertainment center. Picture distortion is prevented by the VCS-10 center channel speakers magnetic shielding. This center channel speaker is an appropriate choice for upgrading your component home theater system one piece at a time.

Amazon.com Product Description

Whether you're upgrading an existing surround speaker system or adapting your current listening system to accommodate the surround capabilities of DVD and HDTV programming, the VCS-10 center-channel speaker from Bose is your key to attractive, exciting home theater sound. Get more from your component system and let the whole family enjoy lifelike movie dialogue, even when people are seated off-axis from the speaker and screen.

The VCS-10 is designed to complement your existing TV or entertainment center. Its patented Compound Loaded drivers are built to deliver clear, cinema-like dialog, and its Articulated Array drivers "lock" dialogue to the screen and provide a large, even sound field.

The speaker's magnetic shielding prevents image distortion when the speaker is mounted atop a TV or computer monitor. The speaker comes with 4 pre-attached feet and 4 optional-use additional self-adhesive rubber feet.

According to Bose, standard zip cord (2-conductor, 18-gauge wire) works for most applications. If your speaker will be more than 30 feet from your audio/video receiver or amplifier, however, Bose recommends 16-gauge wire (45 feet) or 14-gauge wire (70 feet), for hookup that maintains a maximum frequency-response deviation of +/- 0.5 dB.

1 out of 5 stars I'm a Bose fan, but not this one, Bought it 2X's go for a Polk CS 1, even my cheapie speaker $15 was better >>.......2007-12-19

I owned this speaker for a year or so and I was never really satisfied with the quality, it looks like a million bucks - but the quality is not there on this one.

I had a hard time hearing dialouge without turning this way up. Eventually I started to notice sort of a 'tinging' sound, so just for kicks I replaced the speaker w/ another I had in my daughters room - and POW, even that was better!

So I buy ANOTHER one, I figured maybe I had a defective one, it sounded the same. I returned it the next day for a Polk CS1, which is HUGE, so big I'm putting up a shelf behind my big screen, but the sound... INCREDIBLE, I can't believe what I've been missing, all along thinking I had a good center channel...

All I can think of is more and more is coming through the center channel these days, and this speaker doesn't handle it.

Trust me. I'm not a Bose basher, I have 3 bose systems, I have 301's up front which are fantastic - this center channel is truly insulting.

3 out of 5 stars It fits--that's it.......2007-12-07

I bought this to fit on top of my Sony 50-inch screen. It fits (with help from Velcro to stabilize it). It takes a while before you realize how limited the frequency range--AND how critical it is. I thought since center channels basically carry dialogue why worry about the crash of cymbals resonating. Wrong. A soung engineer who lives in the building
chuckled when he said "Bose--no highs, no lows" Turns out that's an sound industry joke. The speaker looks great and the sound is clear. In retrospect, had it been less expensive I wouldn't be so tweaked. It's not good enough to really be happy with it, but not bad enough to replace it. I'll wait for some divine intervention.

4 out of 5 stars It's an ok center channel.......2007-05-15

i have owned this center channel for almost 2 years now. It took me almost a year to finally get it to where it sounded good, as others have stated it was very quiet and nobody could really hear any of the dialogue. I recently purchased a new amplifier as this speaker is 4-8ohms and most amps are 6-16ohms. having an amplifier with a lower ohm rating will push more power per channel which will in turn make the speaker sound better, i also used 12 guage wire which may be a little bit big but it made the speaker sound 100% better i can now hear everything in movies with no distortion at all

3 out of 5 stars Sound is a bit muddy .......2007-02-18

I've had this as my center channel speaker for a couple of years now. My previous center channel was a Yamaha model and I was quite pleased with it, but at some point I needed to get something with a smaller footprint and I chose this Bose.

The big draw of the Bose for me was the shorter height, but I'm not completely satisfied with the sound quality. The sound is a bit "muddy". Dialog doesn't seem as clear as it could be, and I sometimes feel like I'm missing part of what is being said. I even had my hearing checked to see if I had a problem. I didn't thank goodness, but even so I decided to temporarily go back to using the Yamaha center channel.

To my surprise, the Yamaha center channel no longer sounded good. It sounded tinny and cheap compared to the sound from the Bose. So while I can't give the Bose high marks, it's not the worst speaker out there. I'm now using the Bose again, but due to it's relatively high selling price, I can't fully recommend it.

2 out of 5 stars Compare for yourself.......2006-07-05

I own a Bose VCS-10 center channel. I would say that it is a good speaker for certain applications. You will find worst and your will find better. A few thoughts.

1) Many indicate that the speaker will sound better by adjusting your receiver. True. And that holds true for any speaker. And just be cautious when listening to audio at the stores...they will many times play specially tuned cds catered to the particular speaker. Bring your own CDs to listen to you own soundtracks.

2) It is a slim design. True. At the same time, you can find a few others that are just as small or smaller. I would say that it is a matter of personal preference of style. What I find is that the Bose VCS-10 works out great with my old secondary tv. About the right size. But switching to a 55" widescreen...it doesn't look right and not integrated...and quality and volume of sound doesn't match.

The best advice I can give is to go listen to the speaker for yourself and inspect the construction...and how does it fit in your entertainment center. Compare to other speakers for sound and appearance.

Other reviewers may say that the Bose center channel made a world of difference to them. It might have in terms that it is an upgrade from their previous center channel or the Bose is their first. Again...you will want to listen to all center channels...and you will discover that there are many center channels that can better articulate audio.

The biggest advice is in a home theatre...make sure to get an excellent center channel. That is where most of the action is (over 70% of audio content) and which will make a difference. Focus on the center before you worry about the subwoofer and other surround sound speakers.

Bose is good, but I have moved on to other center channels by other makers. The Bose center channel sounds muddy, voices don't sound any better than what you hear from standard tv speakers, music scores aren't impressive, and the speaker sound/timbre don't match any other speakers in a home theatre system.
