Features
  • Hear your TV better

    The Bose TV Speaker is a small soundbar that clarifies speech and improves overall TV sound. Inside there are two full-range drivers angled for wide, spatial sound, while the center tweeter specifically focuses on clarifying speech.

  • More clarity

    In Dialogue Mode, the Bose TV Speaker analyzes what you’re watching to further elevate center vocals, so you can hear and understand every word more clearly. Simply press the DIALOGUE MODE button on the included remote to enable.

  • More music

    The Bose TV Speaker also has Bluetooth compatibility, so you can listen to what you want, when you want. Press the “Bluetooth” button on the included remote to pair a device and wirelessly play music, podcasts, and more through your soundbar.

  • More bass

    And while the Bose TV Speaker delivers surprisingly rich and deep sound for a soundbar of its size, you can press the BASS button on the remote for some added depth.

  • Roku TV Ready

    Roku TV Ready* for smooth, automatic setup, easy access to the Bose TV Speaker sound settings in the Roku TV on-screen menu, and compatibility with the Roku TV remote.

  • Designed for simplicity

    This small soundbar stands at just over 2″ (5 cm) tall and can fit just about anywhere. And small LED lights on the front indicate when certain features are enabled.

  • Easy to set up. Easy to use.

    HDMI-CEC allows the TV and soundbar to communicate when connected by an HDMI cable. Which means you can keep using your current TV remote to control the soundbar volume and automatically turn on the soundbar when the TV is turned on.

  • Add more, anytime.

    If you’re looking for more bass or want to expand your system, you can add a wired subwoofer for more theater-quality home theater sound. The Bose TV Speaker is compatible with the Bose Bass Module 500 and 700 (Bose Bass Module Connection Cable sold separately).

  • Bose TV Speaker vs. Smart Soundbar 600

    For more immersive, theater-like sound and endless streaming options, upgrade to the Bose Smart Soundbar 600, featuring five transducers, Dolby Atmos, Wi-Fi compatibility and built-in Amazon Alexa.

    Great Speaker!!

    I spent quite a while researching which speaker to get for my Samsung TV and ultimately settled on the Bose TV Speaker. I use it interchangeably for watching TV and connecting via Bluetooth to listen to music. I was surprised by how loud it can get, and if you live in an apartment where you can't just blast your speaker at full volume all the time, I think this speaker is a great choice. I also really enjoy the Dialogue Mode, which is helpful when watching shows or movies where the voices sometimes get drowned out by the music or background sounds. The setup was pretty simple as well, and I didn't mind having an extra remote solely for controlling the speaker. I've seen other reviews complain about having to use a separate remote, but personally, I found it simple and convenient to use, and I haven't had any issues with it. If you're not looking for surround sound and just want clear, quality sound coming directly from the speaker, then this product is perfect. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend this speaker!

    Happily Surprised

    I have a Bose lifestyle setup I've had for years. Amazing sound quality. Wanted more clear sound on two other TV's in the house. Wasn't sure if the vocals would truly be clear and tone down the sound effects in the background of movies and shows.. This little speaker absolutely has vocal clarity and actually has some good bass. If your looking for clarity and quality sound for an entry price you can't beat this speaker. If your looking for floor shaking bass and clarity I would suggest looking at a higher priced speaker and bass module. For the money this little speaker delivers. Excellent price at 199.00 for the holidays!! Do wish it came with mounting brackets. Had to purchase the brackets separately. Does have pre mounts for the Bose Wall Bracket and easy to install. If your mounting the speaker under the TV then the optical cable it comes with will have enough length. If running any optical cable or HDMI through the wall to hide any cables and your just placing it on a flat surface under tv,,, then you will need longer HDMI or optical cable to have sufficient length and hide all cables. I would definitely recommend this speaker!!!

    Bose sound bar

    This is a powerful sound bar. Sound is crisp and clear and can hear the little things as well as the louder things. Very reputable company that doesn’t disappoint with their products. Worth the money and even got it on sale. You won’t be disappointed with your purchase. It is also really easy to install. It comes with everything you need unless you wanted to use an ARC hdmi cable for it. But the optical cable works really well anyways.

    I’m so happy I picked this speaker

    I picked up a new Sony 4K TV and wasn’t happy with the sound. I did some research that lead me to the Bose TV speaker. I’m so happy I picked this speaker. The price was right and the sound is perfect for my situation. The speaker is connected via HDMI ARC and works perfectly with the TV. The Dialogue Mode is great which has allowed me to turn off Closed Captions. The only time I disable Dialogue Mode is when I’m watching a concert. You can also pair a Bluetooth device. There is a lot of sound for such a small compact speaker. The only thing I don’t like is the remote but I rarely use it because the speaker works with the TV. I’m very happy with this purchase.

The Bose TV Speaker is a small soundbar that clarifies speech and improves overall TV sound.

And built-in Dolby decoding enhances the audio capabilities of your TV Speaker to deliver a more realistic and satisfying listening experience. Designed with simplicity in mind, a single connection to your TV has you up and running in no time. This connection can be either an optical audio cable (included) or an HDMI cable (sold separately). At just over 2″ (5 cm) tall, this TV Speaker is small enough to fit just about anywhere. Place it in front of your TV or mount it to the wall. Plus small LED lights on the front turn on and/or change color when certain features are enabled or when the volume is adjusted. The Bose TV Speaker also has HDMI-CEC, which allows the TV and soundbar to communicate when connected by an HDMI cable. So when you turn the TV on, the soundbar will automatically turn on too, and you can even continue using your current TV remote to control the volume of the soundbar. However, the Bose TV Speaker also has its own remote. On it, you can pair your Bluetooth device to wirelessly stream your favorite music or podcasts, enable Dialogue Mode to further elevate center vocals, or add a bass boost for some extra depth. And the Bose TV Speaker is Roku TV Ready certified. Meaning, it’s designed to work seamlessly with a Roku TV. When connected to a Roku TV via an HDMI cable, you’ll enjoy smooth, automatic setup, easy access to the TV Speaker sound settings in the Roku TV on-screen menu, and compatibility with the Roku TV remote. If you’re looking for even more bass or just want to expand your system, you can add a subwoofer for more theater-quality home theater sound. The Bose TV Speaker requires a wired connection and is compatible with the Bose Bass Module 500 or 700 (Bose Bass Module Connection Cable sold separately).
