Customer Ratings & Reviews

Enhances TV sound just enough that it won't bother your shared wall neighbors. Easy set up. Good Bose quality as usual.

I would give this unit 5 stars, except for the lack of LEDs on the front panel to monitor the status of the soundbar (read below). The sound is excellent for what I'm using it for. I didn't want to run a bunch of wire and hang satellite speakers for my 5.1 rear L-R speakers, so I'm using this soundbar for my rear L-R channels. It sits under the TV and incredibly fills in the gap between the front L-R main speakers. The dispersion is excellent -- exactly what Bose is famous for. (NOTE: This unit is amplified, so do not shoot hot amplified audio from your amp's speaker outputs unless you can pad it down! My Onkyo surround tuner lets me set each output as low as -14dB, which is perfect for not over-driving the input of the Bose.) I use the analogue AUX input jack to feed in the speaker-out signal from the amp. The "dialogue" setting really does clarify speech in shows & movies where there is a lot of background EFX or music going on. Mids & highs are crystal clear -- no sibilance. Now, about those cheesy LED's... This unit only has 2 LED's on the front to let you know what mode you're in, etc. The LED's change color, blink in various ways, stay solid, etc., for each function. I had to download the complete manual and keep the page for the LED Mode Table handy to keep track of what I was setting up. For $279, Dr. Bose should have added a few more (inexpensive) LED's to the front panel. This was a real design flaw. Simplicity is fine if it doesn't make things complicated. Lastly, when in auto power-down mode, it takes about 2 hours to power off when there is no signal present -- kinda silly. 10 minutes makes more sense. I do not use this unit with any outboard sub-woofer, as my Boston Acoustic mains give all the thump we need. If you are using this (as intended) strictly for a TV speaker, you may want to add a small sub-woofer. You can easily connect one with a patch cord, via the 1/8" sub-out jack on the back. The price of this unit is way too much, but I paid it because it's Bose and it was the best sounding bar in this size range with an analogue input.

I have a hard time hearing the TV. Didn't want anything fancy or exensive, just wanted to hear the TV clearly. Bought this because of reputation and it is living upto reputation. Nothing fancy but excellent quality and tone. Rasy to install with a universail sound bar mount to my 55 inch wall mounted TV. It's worth the few extra bucks

Can’t go wrong with Bose. For the price and the size it sounds great.

The Bose soundbar delivers exceptional audio quality, characterized by superior sound and deep bass. It achieves an optimal balance between the high and low frequency ranges, resulting in a truly immersive listening experience.

Purchased for outdoor fireplace mantel. Excellent and robust sound. Fills the space easily and clearly.

Easy to hook up and great sound. Fits perfect under my tv.

Very nice quality soundbar for the price. Sounds amazing.

This is our first Bose soundbar and it has been a great upgrade over what we had prior. Set up was easy and I've been able to use it with our TV through the optical input and also played our turntable through it via the 3.5mm jack. Remote is easy to use as well.

This sound bar was a nice purchase for the price. It’s basic in features and easy to use. Sound quality is good. My only complaint is that the Bluetooth connection seems crackly if your device is too far from the bar, differently than other Bluetooth devices I have.

Great product. It works nice and is very effective sound system.

I received a Bose soundbar for Christmas. It has excellent sound and looks great.

Having owned several Bose products we had high hopes for this reasonably priced product. Extremely impressed with this small bar and it’s big base sound. No separate woofer needed; this sound bar augments our LGGX in a very open living area with ease. This was our fourth attempt to find a sound device that did not sound like an auditorium speaker and render high quality sound without big bucks.

It’s a good soundbar I have no complaints other than the fact that it is not compatible with the Bose app.

I have two LG 32 inch smart TV's that I I like very much but the audio wasn't quite what I hoped. The Bose Bluetooth Soundbar worked so well that I bought a second one for the other TV. I was NOT disappointed.

Bose tv speaker did have great sound for the price. However there was no app to it and on the remote there was no treble. I did change it for the smart soundbar because I like to adjust treble and bass. However if you are on a strict budget this will be ok.

Great sound and quality in this sound bar - very happy with value of purchase.

Nice size, not overwhelming. Nice sound. Easy to set up.

I gave this to my daughter and son-in-law for Christmas and they love it. They said the sound is spectacular. I trust Bose to have wonderful sound. Apparently it was easy to set up and they can finally hear the TV again clearly. Wonderful gift for Christmas!

My first home speaker purchase, links to tv automatically and can Bluetooth any phone to play music too, great sound quality.
