Product Description |
The Bose® CineMate II speaker system provides high-quality home theater sound to get more from your HDTV experience. Just two compact speakers and a hideaway Acoustimass® module deliver sweeping cinematic sound that puts you in the middle of your movies, games and sports. Proprietary TrueSpace® technology enables this immersive performance--without immersing you in equipment. There are no rear or center speakers, eliminating much of the wiring of traditional 5-speaker systems. Just connect the system right to your TV and control basic functions with a simple four-button remote.
Improved acoustics. Exceptional value.
The CineMate II system is an ideal choice for your first home theater speakers or a Bose surround experience in smaller rooms. The simplified, two-speaker setup offers a hassle-free addition to your HDTV. And the improved acoustics provide exceptional value for home theater performance.
Newly redesigned Articulated Array speakers--now with a striking, pure black finish--aesthetically match today's flat-panel TVs. The hideaway Acoustimass module reproduces resonant low notes that add drama to movies and games. And it now includes a dedicated bass control for your listening preferences. Place the module in a corner or out of view--all the sound seems to come from the compact speakers.
Easy to set up. Easy to use.
The CineMate II speaker system only requires a few connections. It hooks up directly to your TV with minimal--if any--disruption to existing component connections. A small interface module houses your audio input from the TV and displays on/off status for your system. And a sleek, four-button remote handles basic system functions.

 Chilling! - WOW! |
| Review Date: December 9, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Roger Bolander, Arizona |
After reading all the reviews (and I mean ALL!) I went shopping. I looked and listened to Denon - Boston Acoustics - Sony - Yamaha and a host of other systems in the $400 to $600 range. Didn't even consider Bose Cinemate Series II because of all the negative reviews. Well actually it ran 50-50. But after being disappointed with all of the above I decided to check the Bose system out. WOW! Sound quality was far superior as well as the build. Bought it. Installed it. I am amazed at the life like sound. You feel it not just hear it. I had JBL Control Monitors hooked up to my 60" plasma and could not even imagine this small system sounding better. But it does!
I seriously don't know what the critics are talking about.
Bottom Line: If you are looking for the best value, quality & sound for your HDTV in the $400 to $600 range, then you cannot beat this system.

If you're looking for a great sounding, 3 piece system in the $600 price range, you should give the Cinemate serious consideration. I was able to test drive multiple systems at Best Buy, including sound bar systems, full mutlipiece systems with receivers, and 3 Bose systems. This particular system produces outstanding bass which perfectly compliments the 2 midrange speakers. It's a very nice balance of highs, mids, and lows (subs). You'll be VERY hard pressed to find a system that sounds this full, and this professional in the $1,000 range. Did I mention it has serious volume and sounds equally great at all volume levels?
There is a subwoofer level adjustment control which allows you to dial in the perfect balance of bass suitable to your tastes and the particular room it sits in. Initially, i was a little disappointed there weren't more highs (sparkling) pushing from this system-but, after sitting with the system and demoing a few others in home I was very happy with the Cinemate.
I've been playing guitar for 22 years, so I am extremely particular about quality of tone-I think i have a good set of ears and hear things very well. The engineers did an outstanding job engineering the Cinemate. I have it hooked into my Samsung plasma, via an optical cable and when watching TV shows/movies in HD, the sound can be unbelieveable (depending on the source audio and its' quality). Once again, Bose proves it's namesake. |
FANTASTIC SOUND!

| I recently purchased a 46 inch LCD and was looking to upgrade my sound system and discovered a great little package with monster surround sound - Bose Cinemate II. I was walking through a Best Buy store and heard this amazing sound. I turned the corner and continued to listen to the demostration of these speakers. WOW! two fronts and a clean sub with powerful surround. I was impressed and since I owned top of the line Polk Audio and Infinity in the past, I immediately had something to compare these speakers to and made the purchase. The set up was easy, fast and with the speaker stands (sold seperately) looked sharp and most importantly the sound was GREAT! Yes, there might be better systems out there, better names etc since our ears are sensitive to different tones and pitch but go to your local Best Buy and give these speakers a listen to and hear them for yourself. You will be surprised.. |
Great Sound System by Bose

I did extensive research on a simple sound system to compliment my 46' Sony LCD and the Bose was the best one for simplicity (which I wanted) and for sound. I looked at Polk, Boston Acoustics, Denon, and Sony, but ultimately the Bose Cinemate II beat them all. While the price was a little higher than those I mentioned for comparable systems, the Bose sounded the best by far and is constructed very well. Set up took me less than 30 minutes and I tested it using my Blueray player, my PS3, my Wii, XM radio, and various tv stations and it sounded great. It is well worth the $600.00 it is listed at. The other system I looked at didn't look or sound as good and they were on average only $100-150 cheaper.
I also looked at the Bose Cinemate GS II which costs $200 more. I tested them both side by side at a Bose Factory Store and two other electronic stores. There was virtually no difference in sound quality between them. While the GS sounded awesome like this one, I personally do not feel it is worth $200 more for the little additions you get like a universal remote (I have a Logitech Harmony 900 which I highly recommend--best remote out there in my opinion) and smaller main speakers (not much difference in size really anyways). The sub is the same on both of them.
I highly recommend this system to anyone who doesn't want to mess with wires that you would have to have with a 5.1 or 7.1 system. |
Perfect!

We've had this product for over 3 months now and it has been absolutely perfect. We were worried that the sound may not fill up our living room because it is big and has 12 ft. ceilings. After we installed it we realized the sound could probably fill an airplane hanger. The sound is so rich and the bass is just awesome. Don't worry if you have a giant room...this system is way more than enough.
To the people that said the sound effects and music were too loud...It's your TV. My TV has level audio, so if a commercial comes on they can't blast me out of my chair. Levelized audio gives you that same volume no matter what. Many newer TV's have this, but you may have to figure out how to get it to work. My Samsung came with that setting as a default from the factory, but other brands may make you choose it as an option. |
