Bose Cinemate 520

Small and stylish and sounds great for movies. Really sounds impressive for its size.

Not very good for music, has quite a few software bugs and not very good Bose customer service on the forums.

Bose Cinemate 520

I would recommend anyone who appreciates good quality sound to purchase this item. The 520 is reasonably priced, and the sound and facilities are top notch. Everything is crisper and much more dynamic. The Bluetooth facility is great and easy to...

After my purchase, I wanted to buy the speaker brackets for this system. It would have been nice to buy them in store. I would recommend them. Or even offer them as part of the package, they are a must, the icing on the cake
