Good, but not great!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well performing speaker, but could be better. Currently have Sonos Arc as main theater and bought for spare bedroom. Personal preference is that it just doesn’t sound as good as the Sonos but again it could be because of the dynamics of the room and what may.

Posted .Hello, Carlin! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying your Bose Smart Soundbar. It’s designed to deliver rich, immersive sound, crystal - clear dialogue, and seamless smart features that truly elevate your home entertainment experience. Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding the sound and bass, we’re more than happy to help you get the most out of it.
Below are some helpful guidelines to improve your listening experience, especially in terms of sound quality and bass performance:
To achieve the best results, ensure that your Bose Smart Soundbar is positioned properly placed in front of your TV on an open, solid surface without obstructions. For optimal audio performance, connect it using HDMI‑ARC or eARC. We also recommend using the Bose Music app to fine‑tune the sound settings, adjust bass levels to your preference, enable Dialogue Mode if clearer vocals are needed, and keep the firmware up to date.
Additionally, using high‑quality audio sources and setting your TV’s audio output to Dolby Digital can significantly enhance sound performance. If you’re looking for deeper, more powerful bass, pairing your soundbar with a Bose Bass Module is highly recommended for a more immersive experience.

Bose smart sound bar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good one and working greate no accessories are misses
I would recommend this to a friendAverage yet pricy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's nice and it's a Bose. However. I didn't think it had much bass and the volume doesn't get really loud. It's fine for a small room I suppose. Not worth the money in my opinion. Definitely better options out there

Awesome Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I highly recommend the Bose soundbar. It can attach to the bottom of the TV and look like part of the TV. The sound is phenomenal, at times seeming to come from other parts of the room.
I would recommend this to a friendNice sound

Posted .Hi Ethan, thank you for sharing your experience with the Smart Soundbar. We’re sorry to hear that audio isn’t playing on certain TV apps like YouTube, that’s definitely not the experience we want you to have.
This issue is often related to the TV’s audio settings, the specific app, or the type of connection being used (HDMI‑ARC/eARC or optical). As a first step, please check that your TV’s audio output format is set to Digital (PCM) or Dolby.
How to check your TV’s audio output settings: General Method (Most TV Brands)
1. Press the Settings or Menu button on your TV remote.
2. Go to Sound or Audio Settings.
3. Select Expert Settings, Advanced Settings, or Digital Audio Output (the wording may vary by TV brand).
4. Find Digital Output Audio Format and set it to PCM (Digital/Stereo) or Dolby Digital / Auto.
After making any changes, we recommend turning the TV and soundbar off and back on to refresh the connection.

Terrible warranty service
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I paid $500.00 for this soundbar 1 year ago and had to send it to Bose for warranty service 4 months later. I had to pay $40.00 to send it back to them so that they could warranty their product, and months later it was returned to me and the Bluetooth connection on it did not work. That did it for me with Bose, so I purchased a Klipsch soundbar and donated the Bose junk to charity.

I don’t know what you want
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not much different than what I had before except the ability to hear characters speaking. I also can’t figure out how to be able to control it from my Fios remote
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Bose tv speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took forever to arrive but it does work as advertised
I would recommend this to a friendDo not buy open box items from Best Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a review for the open box item. I ordered open box -excellent which says it comes with all original items. It came with no remote and online agent told me I had to go to the store to get the replacement. I went to the store and they did not have the remote. Come back home and talk to the online agent again and they can't help with locating a remote or exchange for open box item and I would have to find a store with an open box item. Why would I pay for the item that in the description said it has all original items and have to go through this hassle? They even had me call Geeksquad and they were no help with this issue. I would never buy any open box item from Best Buy ever again.

Posted .Hello Ken, and thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulty with product activation of your soundbar.
If available, it is strongly recommended to try another wireless network. This might require bringing the system to another location—one closer to the other network hardware. Doing so will help determine if the cause of the issue is related to the network hardware (or its settings), or to the hardware of your Bose system. If the issue is not with your Bose system hardware, setting up service for the system will not resolve the issue.
If you run into any issues, please reach out to support and we’ll be happy to help!
