    I bought this new Bose soundbar & sub-woofer 1 month ago, and it's quality is excellent ! Soundbar is so small, that you can put it either in front of TV or behind also, but sound quality is excellent, you can hear the minute voices also and it fills the entire room . Sub-woofer is also very good and produces great bass sound. This is suitable for all specially for those families who have small kids(like I have one year old kid) or shortage of space in room. Only drawback it has that Sub-woofer is connected with wire, so it needs to kept along with TV. If it has wireless sub-woofer, then no other soundbar can beat it in this price-range. But it's worth of every penny - produces great sound with excellent sub-woofer.

    I bought this to replace a Bose system that was over 10 years old. The sound quality on the new system was no different at all

    Oh my gosh! I love this thing!!!! I can't believe such a rich sound and awesome bass can come from such a small, 2-component sound system. My younger brother gave this to me as a surprise birthday gift last Friday (he knew that I had been looking at it since Nov after I purchased a 65" Samsung TV for my newly finished basement). I was having a hard time deciding between the Bose Cinemate 15 and the more expensive Bose SoundTouch 120 because the SoundTouch has built-in bluetooth capability. Well guess what? He also ordered me the Bose Bluetooth Audio Adapter for delivery on Mon! I was able to connect it in about 5 min, so now I can stream music wirelessly from my cell phone. Time for a basement party!!! Needless to say, I'm a very happy big sister. :)

      Thank you for taking the time to write your review. If you are not getting the volume that you'd hope for with your Cinemate system, it may help to look at the source. In most circumstances, that will be the cable/satellite box. Let's make sure that the volume is turned up to 85-90%. If you'd like some help with this, we have technical experts on hand. You can reach us at 1-800-379-2073. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM EST. Bose

      Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We'd like to help with getting you the sound performance that you expect from Bose. If you are getting plenty of bass, we may want to drop that slightly to get you more balanced with the mids and high frequencies. Adjust the bass control on the Acoustimass module. Rotating the knob counter-clockwise turns down bass response. We can also look at your unique setup to find other ways to improve dialogue clarify for you. You can reach us at 1-800-379-2073. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM EST. Bose

    Team, Today only I received (02-03-2017) the unit in box, but when I opened the box I saw all the plastic covers in side box were open , missing batteries which comes with the box also lot of dust was there on the woofer of the unit. I am sure I got a open box kind of delivery to me. Please check with that and please schedule a new box for me so that I can go there and return what I go to a newer unit. Earlier I was very excited to buy it but seeing this unit I got very much disappointed. Some of my friends wanted to buy this unit and wanted to see it and I am not sure what review I should pass to them as well. Nearest place to me : Concord

    I Really researched this product because I really wanted to get some better sound from my 50" samsung TV . I own many bose products and I was not very happy with the cinemate 15.The actual sound bar small speaker sounds very cheap and the subwoofer is mediocre at best .... I ended up returning it and buying the Dennon on sale and it's a million times better and wireless too!!!

    This is the worst customer experience I've ever had. After speaking to nine different Best Buy representatives they couldn't figure out how to return the damaged item I ordered on the Internet. I ended up having to call my bank to cancel my credit card. Disgraceful ignorant and a complete waste of time is how I would describe their customer service

    Super Big Comes In A Small Package

    We have all heard the expression, Big Things Come In Small Packages, well this sound bar may be small but the sound is Super Big!!! When I saw and heard it in the Best Buy store I was blown away by the depth and clarity of the sound, and now that it is in my home I am so happy I made this purchase. My guests have also been impressed with it and have made many positive comments. Although be warned that some guests may not want to leave after the movie is over!!

    Quality versus flash!

    There are a lot of choices for home theater whether high end or just down right trash. I have been fortunate to have experienced both. What it comes down to is simplicity, ease of use, quality, and sound. The Cinemate 15 is an outstanding system. You will read some that say it's trash, or Bose is not the best, or there are so many other choices. The truth is if you listen to this system versus others with all sources you will see the difference. Long ago I would drop 3000 on a system only to be disappointed 2 years later when my system was obsolete. If you look on line you will see Bose products hold their value. If you do not want to break the bank and want the best sound I can fully recommend the Cinemate 15 for the price and quality of product and sound. I had a Bluetooth adaptor by Bose and attached. Metal sounds awesome! Lastly thank you all for your reviews for they helped. If you notice the Cinemate 15 has one of the highest ratings. Also Bluetooth sound versus plug in, plug in sound always sounds better.
