    This soundbar is my second Bose speaker. Setup was very easy and quick. I have a TV and a CD player connected to it. The sound is rich and clear. I do agree with the one criticism I read which is that the sound could use more depth to it. For me, this is a minor complaint. The soundbar was a great deal at Best Buy.

    it's ok but it didn't meet my expectations of a sound bar, especially from Bose; I can't tell where it's on or not. I don't see a light that displays whether or not it's on.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    The sound from the soundbar is good. The Bose app and connecting to other Bose speakers was challenging. It’s not worth the full price. I’m probably only happy with it because I got it on sale before Christmas

    Sounds perfect for the bedroom. i have it mounted under the tv. Setup of this and all of the Bose speakers I bought has been finicky at best. Sometimes the speakers won't group, sometimes show as unavailable. But when they work, it's really great. And of course, it sounds like Bose...which I have been a fan for years. dating back to the old Lifestyle systems (which I still have 2 of them that sound great after 10+ years)

    Excellent product. Been a multiple Bose/Best Buy customer for over 20 years. As good as this sound bar is, I exchanged it for the Ultra Smart version which turned out to be well worth the added cost. Mind blowing sound generated in my in home theater.

    It's an excellent soundbar but I did not realize how much a subwoofer adds to the sound for movies. For that reason only I'm returning it to find a soundbar with a subwoofer for a better music and movie experience. We have a Bose radio and Bose speakers in our bathroom ceiling and love them.
