"Thank you. While on the phone before I purchased the SL2, I explain to someone, that I just purchased a home, and I didn't want to place wires through my walls. Question: Does Bose have anything that would make my speaker work wireless: Yes, he told me. Before putting the wires into my Bose system, I placed my speakers on the walls; after reading the book, I found out that the SL2 does not make my system/spea..."  Read Full Review

Not totally wireless...

★★★★☆
4.0

"I got excited when I saw "Wireless" surround sound, so the assumption was mine that it would be totally wireless. It's not. You still have to connect speaker wires to the Receiver unit and then out to the surround speakers. The only difference is no wires are run from the front base unit to the rear surround speakers, but you still have to hide the wires in the back."

    Pros:

  • Attractive,
  • Compact,
  • Easy to setup,
  • Good audio

Solid wireless performance

★★★★☆
4.0

"No noticeable sound degradation for typical home theater uses. just remember, if it's not already clear to you, this just allows you to send a wireless signal from the speaker base unit to the rear of the room. You still need to run speaker wire from the wireless receiver to the rear speakers. Seems evident, but I've had a few people confused on it.



Only real reservation is the price."

    Pros:

  • Easy to set up,
  • Easy to use,
  • Reliable

purchased for my lifestyle 28 system

★★★★★
5.0

"I recently moved to a new house, and didn't want to drill holes in the walls or floor to get the wires to the back of the room. I was somewhat skeptical about this product and concerned with sound quality. However, I'm happy to say there is absolutely no difference between using the SL2 and hard wiring the rear speakers!



a) The system is made up of two receivers. They are both very small, and are easily concealable.



b) The front receiver plugs into the base module with 2 wires (left & right speaker wires)



c) The rear speakers plug into the rear receiver.



d) Installation complete!



This is an excellent product and I highly recommend it to all."

Performs Better than the Specs!

★★★★★
5.0

"If you're sold on BOSE, and you don't want to run wires all through your walls, this is the wireless system for you. I used this to set up the surround speakers on an Acoustimass 10 system. The wires harnesses that come with are 50' long and I used them to run up the wall from a cabinet and in to the atic. It was a piece of cake, compared to trying to run wires all the way from the front of a room 30' away. I was amazed to find that these units received a clear signal in a closed cabinet from over 35' away! The sound was great, and I saved about a day of work. Just don't try to put it in your attic. Also, you're going to be very surprised by the small size and stylish design of the product. You may not even feel the need to hide it. Definitely a great product."

    Pros:

  • Good length,
  • Reliable,
  • Versatile

"Initially, I was concerned with the 30-foot limitation (my application is 33 feet). The Bose support folks said there should be no problem and that it could be returned if it didn't work. It works as well as wires and I'm completely satisfied with it."

    Pros:

  • Attractive,
  • Compact,
  • Easy to set up,
  • Good audio
