Easy to install; clean appearance

Verified Purchase:Yes
The design is elegant, and they do the job with no fuss. Please note that they come in a package of 2; I didn't get that from the website, and I ordered two sets. The local Best Buy store cheerfully accepted the return of one set.

The best 5.1 system from Bose, made for your music, movies and TV and designed to sound every bit as stunning as it looks. Small omnidirectional speakers, a wireless bass module and wireless rear surround speakers deliver an astonishing audio experience that melts luxuriously into your room. The glass-topped console has 4K pass-through and 6 HDMI inputs, plus Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology to wirelessly stream music any way you prefer.

Excellent sound system with some glitches

Verified Purchase:Yes
The system is relatively easy to set up, once the software update is completed. I spent some time trying to get sources to work, etc., before the update, which is supposed to be automatic, suddenly started loading. The update solved many of the functionality issues with my sources, but not all. Some of the buttons on the remote still don't work, although Bose assured me that future updates would probably take care of this. The wireless bass module and rear speakers give you a lot of versatility and convenience, with much less of a rat's nest of wires. The sound quality is excellent. The SoundTouch feature works well, once one finally figures it out. The documentation supplied with the system is very cursory and uninformative, unlike previous Bose products I have bought. One simply has to figure things out by trial and error, but have patience and you'll be pleased with the results.

Slim and Elegant

This case looks great. It protects the screen, eliminating the need for applying a film to the screen. It also allows you to prop up the phone for watching videos, etc. Access to all ports is easy. It's very slim, adding very little thickness to the phone, so that it slips nicely into my pocket. I've had this case for a couple of months, and it seems to be holding up nicely.

The SoundTouch; 10 wireless music system is the easiest way to play music throughout your home. Plus, it's so small, you can place it just about anywhere to stream millions of songs from music services, Internet radio stations and your stored music library - all with full, rich sound. You can even play your favorite music instantly, without a phone or tablet. Simply press one of six presets on the speaker or remote, and the music starts.
 

How to play my Pandora station from my Android phone to a soundtouch 20 and 30 simultaneously. Both devices are hooked up, but I hear different Pandora music on each device at the same time.

First, make sure both devices are on the same wifi network. Then tune the program you want on one device and click on the + sign next to it. The other device will be added.
Or, click the "Play All" button.

I would assume that this system does not require an amp/receiver to power it? So, just hook it up to your big screen, and you are ready to go?

Correct. Please note that it does not have an AM/FM tuner built in, but rather pulls radio content from the internet via WIFI.

Does this come with wall mounting brackets for the surround sound speakers?

No, you have to order those. Please note that the wall mount brackets come packaged as a pair; I thought they were individual and ordered two, so I ended up with 4 brackets. I simply returned one package to Best Buy for a refund.

How are the speakers powered?

There is a receiver/ power supply box that connects to each speaker and plugs into an electrical outlet. It receives the signals wirelessly from the 650. You will need to locate the speakers within reasonable distance of an electrical outlet and figure out how to run the wires from the boxes to the speakers. But no long runs of wire from the main unit as there used to be. The subwoofer is also wireless and plugs into an electrical outlet. The front and center speakers are hard wired to the 650 unit.

Can the stored music from the old lifesytel 28 system be transferred to the new lifestyle 650 system?

The Lifestyle 650 does not store any music. It streams music from other sources, via bluetooth or wi-fi. It does not have an AM-FM tuner, either, but instead pulls internet radio stations. This actually works well for me, as my local NPR stations are all available, as are other favorite stations from around the country such as WFMT in Chicago. It also streams Pandora, Sirius XM, etc. sources, and you can set 6 stations from any of these sources on presets. You tune the sources on your smartphone or tablet via an app, but once you've tuned in a station, your smartphone or tablet can leave the area and the Lifestyle continues to play that source. And you can use the presets to tune sources with no smart device present. The change reflects the trend to streaming from the "cloud" rather than storing things on local hard drives.
