Having problem with speaker shutting directv box off when speaker turns on,also when it turns on the green or white light comes on but no sound have to turn off and turn back on for sound

Bought this today as open box item. The label did not say what was wrong with it, got home and it’s missing the remote. Try to set it up with the HDMI ARC anyway…didn’t work. Apparently you have to have the remote to set it up.

Best Buy provides an excellent array of speakers. The Bose TV Speaker provides excellent sound and very good dialog clarity.

It is not as loud as I imagined it to be, but it does the job

not impressed supposed to work with an app. Had to work with 3 different Bose helpers just to set it up then told me there was no app that works with it, so I gave up. If I had the time to return it, and didn't have hassle with the traffic I would

Absolutely love this sound bar! I have it for a TV in my bedroom and was worried it might be too loud. But works great!!

Waste of money. This sound bar stopped working in less than a year. The remote will not turn the unit on. Purchased a second remote and still having the same issue.

Either it was not compatible with our TV or the optic cable had suffered a fiasco. The sound would cutout and that was a real disappointment on my space shows. It was returned and another bar was bought.

I feel sad to give such a review. I could barely get it to connect and stay connected!! Didn't matter if I used the optical cable provided or supplied my own for the HDMI-Arc. The bluetooth option would not connect for 10-15 mins. I tried connecting, went into the other room, sat back on the couch, and 5 mins later....sound! I am connecting to a QN90A Neo QLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV. Let just say....I am done with soundbars!! Gonna go for the full thing next time!! Less disappointment.

sounds ok, good lows but i would recommend adding a subwoofer. it a very small bar

Average,nothing to get excited .That's how tv speakers should be which is not, it's a dirty business money money money that's it.Otherwise this is not a superior speakers !

The sound is pretty good for such a little speaker, but it died after only a week. Won't power on at all.

Nice full range sound out or a compact sound bar, great for a bedroom TV

It was not compatible with my sony tv and I could not use the HDMI only the fiber optic bose could not help me

Better sound than tv speaker. Hear programs better, can actually lower volume and hear clearer and better.

First and foremost, I must say that this Bose speaker sounds really nice! It is replacing a Soundcore BT speaker that was fine and doing a good job, but this is on another level obviously with the deep bass sounds it is capable of. I use this speaker for multiple uses throughout the day switching between a 4K Monitor for gaming/movies, Samsung s5e tablet for music at night & a Note 10+ phone to also play music out of but just occasionally. The speaker comes packaged well and I was up and running in no time. All of my devices found the Bose TV Speaker immediately and connected with no issues. Usually with BT devices, I find that they dont always connect right away. Even if the speaker appears off with no LED on, if I connect via my tablet, it connects immediately with no issue and the LED light turns on right away. Very appreciated personally as it is a pet peeve of mine to have to babysit electronics. The size is another bonus for this speaker in my opinion. Most speakers are very long and not appropriate for desks. This one is. Right now, I have my Bose TV Speaker on a Vadeer aluminum monitor stand, and only hangs over about an 1" on each side. OCD issues asside, it works. About as long as the 27" monitor above it. This is a big deal because of the sound it pumps out. No more desktop speakers, that while doing a fine job, didn't do it like this. After installing and playing music upstairs in the room, my wife tells me later that she thought neighbors were playing music from next door, it was so loud with bass. This is a plus in my book. To be fair, my only complaint is that there are no physical buttons on this speaker. Sleek? Oh yes. But what if the remote ends up missing? I would of preferred just 2 small buttons on the back, "just in case" to turn off or change from BT to TV. Hold down the power button for 3 seconds to auto turn on, but when I still like to do it manually.There does appear to be a battery door, so when the time comes, I'm sure I can replace the battery. Speaking of the remote, I would be amiss if I did not mention the utility of the remote. Has a power, volume (+ -), mute, TV,BT, Bass & lastly and speaker + type button that make the sound even clearer and raises it up as well pronouncing all the background sounds more clearly making the overall accoustic package more hearty and complete. The remote is also very small and light. If you have ever had a Bose before, you know what I mean in regards to the sound. Hard to explain, like watching 4K resolution game @ 60 frames per second, all while being streamed at 1080p resolution at 30 frames. You just have to see it in person to be blown away, or in this case to hear it. My specific score on this speaker is a solid a 4.5 out of 5. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a smaller TV speaker with big sound. Lastly, I am aware this speaker can be hooked up via HDMI to TVs but only with an HDMI ARC adapter. Otherwise it does come with optical cable. While I have no doubt that this will take the audio to even another level, it is already A+.

Its bose.....of course it sounds great. Its not surround sound,. But for a sound bar, it sounds amazing.

I bought this speaker a few days ago for $199, which I felt was reasonable. This is my first Bose Soundbar, and I'm writing this honest review to help other customers know what to expect before purchasing. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with the sound quality; it felt like an ordinary speaker. When I turned up the volume, I heard a loud, irritating noise. If you're considering buying one, you might want to think it over first. This speaker has two midrange drivers and a tweeter in the middle. It has a large casing to accommodate these small speakers. I hope that Bose will improve its products to be just like this one.

Sound is ok and not much better than some new TVs . Going to buy a subwoofer to see if it helps. Think of it as a light upgrade to your tv speakers.

Soundbar over heats. Then it died on me 4 months after staring to use. No longer returnable. Total waste of 275 bucks.
