    One step up from the T.V. speakers

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased to replace a Bose 3*2*1 which was damaged in a move. Seemed like a comparable replacement as the sub-woofer was identical. I was a bit skeptical of the soundbar, Would it sound as good as two individual satellite speakers? The answer is no. The sound quality is nowhere near as impressive as the 3*2*1. Just a step up from the T.V. speakers thanks to the sub-woofer. Aside from that, the sound quality is extremely disappointing. If you've ever owned a better, more expensive Bose home theater system, you will not be satisfied with this product. Would not recommend.

    Excellent sound. Easy to attach. Only problem is if your TV doesn't have a audio output. Otherwise you can use RCA, co-axial or headphone jack to connect to the system. Excellent bass! Worth it.

    No Power

    Ok bought this system less then a year ago and it has never worked right. Sometimes it powers on but 95% of the time I can't get the power to work. I gave up on in a long time ago and have used my tv speakers. When I can get it to power up it still won't work while watching a movie through our DVD player.

    Lacking key features

    No bluetooth, no ARC, no way to adjust sound! You'd think BOSE would come with these features!

      Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We'd be happy to address them.

      This system is designed to connect directly to the television's output. For most modern flatscreens, that will be an optical connection or digital coaxial connection as opposed to the HDMI connection that would utilize ARC.

      We do offer an optional adapter that allows this system to take advantage of both Bluetooth and SoundTouch wireless technologies. Here is a link to check it out:  http://bit.ly/2fsX8wa

      If you are looking for ways to get the best audio performance from this system, we'd love to learn more about your individual setup. You can reach us at 1-800-379-2073. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM EST. Bose
