      Hey there, we are sorry to hear that you wasn't impressed with the audio performance of your speaker.

      This isn't something that you should feel as the TV speaker is perfect for movies! Adjusting the tone controls on the system will ensure that you receive Bose quality audio, you can adjust this via these instructions here https://bose.life/2VEwk2b.

    Purchased 12/23 and had nothing but connection issues. Now. Only 1-1/2 years old. Piece of crap. Always thought Bose was a good product.

      Hello!

      You are correct, designed with simplicity in mind, the TV Speaker simply needs a single connection to your TV and it will be ready to go in no time! As this soundbar does not require an app to use, you won't be able to use it with the Bose Connect app.

      I appreciate you have sold your soundbar but I hope this information helps if you decide to look at the TV Speaker again in the future!

    Worked for one year and quit working. I had previous model which only worked for a couple of years. I changed cable and sources. Would get squealing noise then loss of sound. This was after working fine for a year. Very disappointed with the product and switched to another brand.

    DO NOT BUY! I went through 2 of these and had one sent off to geek squad repair. It would stop working and I had a video to show it but it kept coming back with nothing wrong. I switched to LG and its been a far better product

      Hello, the Bose TV Speaker is a one-step, simple solution for better TV sound. It’s small but powerful, delivering a clear, balanced, and natural-sounding audio experience that enhances dialogue and bass performance.
      It has a HDMI-ARC and an optical connection for great compatibility.
      It is unusual to hear that your system has stopped working. If you do decide to purchase again you can find support here https://bose.life/3zystUs

    I've owned Bose products before and I have to say I was disappointed in this item. Sound quality isn't optimal. Can't sync up with sound from tv. It looks like people are lip singing. I tried to trouble shoot without success. Now I'm past return time.

      Hi Elisa, this is very strange? Are you connected using the Optical lead included in the box to connect? Or are you using a HDMI-ARC lead? This should prevent this from happening. If the video on the TV or device you are watching still does not match up with the corresponding audio you are hearing from your soundbar, check out the steps here https://bit.ly/2Q0IK1c.

    I honestly expected more from this sound ar considering how it was made by bose. The sound had minimal balancing and really sounded crappy, like it was being played through a tube. Luckily I was able to take it back though. Only positive experience with this.

      Hello! I am so glad that you are enjoying your TV Speaker. I am sorry for any miscommunication. The Bluetooth on the soundbar means that you can stream Bluetooth audio to it. It is unable to produce audio via Bluetooth, only receive.

    Sold to me as open box but unchecked/tested. And that’s the good news, went down hill from there…. 6 hours or more of my life wasted and a rude manager who didn’t want to help…. All I needed was help to replace, in the end the manufacturer (JBL) was amazing as were (employees) at BB but best of luck finding anyone in corporate…. They are all gone…..

    Speech enhancement is not as noticeable as on the previous Bose speaker I bought, but I like the fact that the enhancement stays on every time I turn the tv on.

    I had to return it. It had no power cord, which I had to go back and purchase. The manager acted like he was giving me a deal. I think he was just trying to unload it on me. It never worked.
