Bose® 301® Direct/Reflecting® stereo speakers convey the power of a live performance, yet are small enough to fit comfortably on a bookshelf or in an entertainment center. These versatile, elegant speakers bring lifelike, spacious sound to music and movies and are an excellent way to bring Bose sound to your stereo or home theater components.
 
Advanced technologies make the difference
 
In a live performance, music takes many different paths to reach your ears and touch your emotions, including a blend of direct and reflected sound. Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology recreates this combination of direct and reflecting sound to deliver music that sounds spacious and more like a live performance.
 
Conventional speaker design focuses sound directly at the listener, somewhat like a flashlight beam. That means stereo effects are most prominent in one "sweet spot," delivering unbalanced sound to the rest of the room. 301 speakers produce  Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance, so you and your friends and family can sit where you like and enjoy balanced stereo sound from almost anywhere in the room.
 
301 bookshelf speakers provide outstanding sound while fitting beautifully into your living space. Their slender and graceful lines will match your décor and our  accessories  offer even more placement alternatives.
 
Spacious sound for music and movies
 
301 speakers are a suitable choice when you're ready to experience Bose sound in your movies as well as your music. Connect these versatile speakers to your surround sound receiver and enjoy the benefits of Bose sound in almost everything you watch.
