    After hooking this sound bar up, my 350 dollar bose head phones wont connect with it. Priced too high and not easy to hook up. Still have wires everywhere and 5 remotes. Ready to return.

    This sound bar is incredible.I paired this with Bose subwoofer and the sound is perfect.Also the dialogue mode is the reason I purchased which works great.You have to access the mode from Bose app which for me is easy.

    Bose has a strong support team, in my opinion, one the best in the industry? They will not stop until your questions or problems are 100% resolved. I require that level of backup due to my somewhat limited knowledge of sound systems.

    We bought this Bose Soundbar 500 to use with our home projector and wow, we were not disappointed! Vocals are very crisp and bass is excellent even without the bass attachment which is sold separately. Highly recommend!

    Purchased the Bose 500 soundbar to replace internal speakers on an LG OLED TV. It definitely is a big improvement with full range and clear voice. We have a Sonos Playbar on a second TV. The two soundbars compare favorably.

    Don’t let its size fool you. This Bose Soundbar 500 brings it. Great for home theaters. Combined with the Bose Subwoofer 500, sounds great for movies, regular tv programming, and music listening.

    It really is to bad this soundbar is discontinued, because it really had outstanding sound. It sounds even better when paired with the Bass 700 subwoofer. Outstanding product!

    Best Buy sells Bose products produced 2 yrs ago

    The sound bar was produced by Bose in 2018. Best Buy sold it to full price and without disclosing that they received it from Bose 2 years ago. I only found this out because I-called Bose directly Because of difficulty installing and updating. I called Best Buy Corp and spoke to a supervisor to report. However they refused any responsibility or accommodation. BUYER BEWARE.

    Best thing about adding this speaker we can now hear the voices. When just using the TV speaker, we had a difficult time hearing the dialog over the background sound on a movie or TV show.

    This sound bar is perfect for our bedroom TV. It has just enough definition to do the job. The headset setup fine tunes it so you get the proper Bose definition they are famous for. Highly recommend.

    This is a pretty decent soundbar, would have loved to see support for DTS, thus one star less. Also, a little more bass would have been good. Otherwise vocals are definitely very sharp and clear, even at low volume.

    Great product and easy to install. I had to call Bose support to learn about downloading the app. To access speaker / wireless options - Bose customer support was very helpful as well.

    The soundbar itself is great! Excelent lows mids and highs. I also purchased the Bose 500 sub to go with it and it's pretty good, not as good as I was expecting. But there is a noticeable difference with it connected.

    Its a wireless speaker you can connect to a tv or even a phone thru blue thooth or the cable. The speaker is loud on its own. It will be even louder with the subwoofer

    The voices is very clear you understand what they're saying without backing up the show or movies ,asking what did they say. Also the bass subwoofer sounds great with it.

    We like the sound bar, but it doesn't always stay on. It reverts back to the tv sound. This necessitates turning the sound bar back on when it is supposed to on all the time.
