Overview
In a finished ceiling, this round speaker carries one woofer and two tweeters positioned so it needs no aiming into the room. An ultra slim bezel attached to the grille can be painted in one step, and magnets let the grille snap on and off.
Stereo Everywhere performance and a near-bezel-less look are the reasons to choose it, with no cloth scrim to clump paint. The listing is confusing on pair count and on wireless or water ratings, so confirm both before cutting holes.
Who it's for
A homeowner or installer doing a built-in sound system, who wants one speaker to cover a room evenly, can use the template and standard clamps. Someone shopping for Bluetooth, an app-controlled speaker or a wet-area model should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- No aiming needed into the room
- Bezel paintable in one step
- Magnetic grille snaps on and off
- Standard dogleg clamps
- Pair count not stated clearly
- Wireless and water entries conflict
- Needs a ceiling cutout
Performance notes
Two tweeters positioned at angles spread high frequencies across a wide area, which is why sound stays even without aiming the speaker. The woofer handles bass and mids from the ceiling position, and room size affects how full it sounds. A tight seal around the cutout and secure clamps prevent rattles.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Bose Virtually Invisible 791 II a Bluetooth or waterproof speaker?

How is the Bose 791 II installed?
With standard dogleg clamps, and a template is included in the box.
Can the Bose 791 II be painted?
Yes. The slim bezel is attached to the grille so it can be painted in one step, and there is no cloth scrim to clump paint.
