The Boston Acoustics SoundWare XS-SE speaker system does what it was set out to do, and does it well. We found it to be an extremely compact, dynamic speaker system that provides an entertaining movie experience with fidelity several steps above the everyday home-theater-in-a-box. While it wouldn’t be our first choice for music listening, we do think it will appeal to consumers looking for an attractive speaker system that stays out of the way and provides an enhanced movie-watching experience. With mounting hardware included and above-average sound for its class, this system represents a solid value. For a better music listening experience, we would recommend checking out the new SoundWare S speaker system instead.

The Boston SoundWare XS 5.1 is an exceptionally compact system and sounds great for its size - although larger systems sound even better.

The Boston Acoustics SoundWare XS 5.1 is an ingeniously designed satellite/subwoofer set. I would definitely redesign the terminals to make life easier for people who aren’t handy with cables (not to mention those who are). But the system has several winning features that offset that minor design flaw. Chief among them is the unique shape, which is both aesthetically gratifying and amazingly pragmatic in terms of placement.

In general I was happy with the performance of the Boston Acoustics SoundWare XS 5.1 speaker system. At $500 for a 5.1 system, you can't go in expecting much. What I really want out of speakers at this price point and with this form factor is "not bad" sound. On that, the SoundWare XS delivers. Add that to a decent sound quality, a very nice sub, and lots of mounting options included… well, I think they have a winner. For a bedroom or as a first system the SoundWare XS gets my recommendation.
