    I’ve had a few BOSE products over the years and have yet to have a bad experience with them. Had a little trouble setting this up, because I didn’t fully read the directions. Once I did, it’s worked great. I’m very happy with the sound I get from wherever I am sitting in the room. The enhanced dialogue feature is great and makes a noticeable difference.

    Love this! Works great in our family room. Only minor complaint (which is probably a good thing) is that with an open floor plan, the Alexa microphone can pick you up from down the hall (sometimes when I'm in the bedroom talking to our other Alexa device). Great sound and high quality replication of surround sound.

    I am so happy I bought this soundbar, what a difference this makes to what I hear. I can hear the slightest sounds and I can finally hear everything clearly. You will not disappointed in your purchase, it was on sale and the salesperson gave me an additional discount (the week before Christmas) and saved over $100 on top of the sale price. I highly recommend this product.

    We love the sound quality. The installation instructions need to be clearer. I couldn't get it to work with the included HDMI cable, so I bought the optical cable. It still didn't work. I had to download the users manual and read the FAQs to see that I just had to push a button on the remote to get it to work.

    Perfect for a large family room or better than an average size room or entertainment room for those that have a smaller budget to work with. Full sound and great for movies and music via Bluetooth capabilities and connects to Alex’s for voice commands. Recommended highly!

    I love Bose and their products I used the demo in store and couldn’t wait to bring it home. Honestly if your looking for a slight difference then this is it but I wanted that Bose boom! I bought the subwoofer a day later and it brings the life out of your speaker! Kind of hard to set up at first but I love the app

    I’m very satisfied with this soundbar. Setting it up was easy and once I learned how to do it , everything is going good with it. It sounds great with movies and music streaming though the Bose connect app is smooth with no problem and you listen without distortion. Highly recommended!!!!

    The sound is incredible. Not too bassy. Dialog can sound muffled on older films and programs, but it's great on newer productions. Would have given it 5 stars, but the Bluetooth connectivity is lacking. Works great with a wired connection to my TV, but streaming music from my iPhone Pro Max is an uphill battle.
