Whats the difference between these two speakers? From my research it seems they are the exact same except the Bose 700 surround sound speakers have 360 degree surround sound where the Bose Surround Speakers are "one" direction... Is this true? Are the Bose 700 speakers worth the extra $200?
I have a brand new Bose 700 sound bar and Bose 700 base module.
Thank you for the input

What placement guidelines should be considered to ensure optimal audio performance of the Bose Surround Speakers 700?
What is the range of the wireless link between the Bose Smart Soundbar 600, Bose Smart Soundbar 900, Bose Smart Soundbar 300, Bose Smart Soundbar 700, Bose Soundbar 500, or the SoundTouch 300 soundbar and the Bose Surround Speakers 700?
Can the Bose Surround Speakers 700 be wired to the Bose Smart Soundbar 600, Bose Smart Soundbar 900, Bose Smart Soundbar 300, Bose Smart Soundbar 700, Bose Soundbar 500, and the SoundTouch 300 soundbar?
Hi all. I've had the 900 soundbar for about a month, my first Bose product! I have been thinking about getting the 700 surround speakers to go with the 900 soundbar.
I don’t really need / can’t really have much more bass response, but I find the soundbar by itself lacks the separation I am used to with another sound system in my room (a pair of Echo Studios).
Would adding the 700s help “fill out” the soundstage and make music sound better? Obviously they are on the expensive side of things, hence my hesitation to ask for any tips before ordering. It still baffles my mind that I purchased the 900 soundbar from their refurb site for $679 and the going price is nearly equal for the 700 surrounds... seems very out of wack.
All of the reviews tend to comment on the 700 surround speaker’s abilities regarding film/tv but as opposed to music (not to mention, most people say they sound entirely too quiet, that you have to boost the levels in the Bose app or do the blanket-covering trick when rerunning AdaptIQ).
At least Bose has a 90 day return policy if, lets say, they actually happen to release 900 surrounds / atmos surrounds within those three months… since it seems that is still maybe a possibility...
I would greatly appreciate any advice!
From my experience they are really just for surround sound. So listening to stereo anything (like standard def TV and music) doesn't give you much to go through them. You can of course turn the balance up so the rears have more emphasis, but I never found that helped.
The instrument separation and soundstage on the SB900 is very wide, the surround 700’s will not improve this. Adding the bass module will make the biggest difference in filling out the room. It allows the SB900 to handle more mids and highs while the bass module takes care of the lows.
I just got the soundbar 900 and I’m not sure which one to grab? Is there a big difference in both?
I currently own the SB Smart Ultra and BM700. Would adding the Bose Surround Speakers 700 be a good choice at this time, or would it be better to wait for a newer model since the SS 700 is an older product?
The abysmal 700s are no longer listed on the Bose US site. Maybe it’s a sign of something new to come. The fact that Bose doesn’t have a replacement and hasn’t developed a surround speaker in a decade could mean they’re not going to.
