The Bose LifeStyle 650 is the crème de la crème of surround sound speaker systems, featuring excellent support for streaming platforms, lots of inputs, and an amazing sound quality.
Looking for the best sound quality, period? Well, then the Bose Lifestyle 650 is for you, but you will need to pay a pretty penny to get your hands on it. In fact, you'll need to pay a whopping $3,999.
Of course, the advantages are numerous. Bose is known for its amazing sound quality, and the Lifestyle 650 sound system is no different. Audio separation between the speakers is much better than on most other home theater systems, and while the speakers are small they can get really quite loud.
Design is also pretty important, as these speakers will be sitting in your living room. Thankfully, they look good, too, featuring a nice classy and minimalistic look. They're pretty subtle, so they shouldn't look out of place in any living room.
On the receiver, you'll find six separate HDMI inputs, which support the latest HDCP standard, which is compatible with 4K video. You can also make use of the two optical inputs, optical output, RCA, and even aux port. Out of the box, you'll get support for Spotify, Deezer, Pandora, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, and Sirius XM. And, the system has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and you can pair your phone or tablet quickly and easily through NFC.
There really aren't too many downsides here except for price, but if you can afford it, you won't regret getting the Bose Lifestyle 650.
