    This soundbar is the perfect speaker for our bedroom TV setup. I was looking for something that produced deep bass with a low profile. This speaker did the trick. I would strongly recommend this speaker to anyone looking for great sound and a nice look.

    Bose TV Speaker Bluetooth Soundbar with HDMI-ARC

    The Bose TV Speaker Bluetooth Soundbar with HDMI-ARC Connectivity is a good product at medium cost. It is easy to install and use, and improves the listening quality, over the very small TV speakers, on my TV. The unit provides more bass levels which make the sound more realistic.

    Do not let LTT or other biased reviews make you think this speaker doesnt punch above its size. this is the 2nd one i bought because the other one is still being used in another room. And if you can find a bass module 500 as a refurb or just pony up the money for it, this thing is legitamly a good mini home theater setup. Gotta give Bose credit where it is due on this one. I only wish it could be hooked to another 3rd party sub by some kinda dongle to eliminate e waste.

    I didn’t expect this to be such a good TV speaker. The voice is very clear. There’s enough bass for this small speaker. I am actually liking it more than my Apple HomePod.

    2 Issues with the TV Speaker

    Wanted a smaller soundbar and was initially happy with the Bose TV Speaker but there are 2 significant problems I encountered. The first is the auto gain that comes out during quieter sections of movies or music. This is an audible hiss where the speaker is trying to amplify the background noise (when there is none) so it sounds like static or wind. Thought this was the source initially but encountered it with other programs and confirmed the problem on the Bose website. If there is a quiet passage you will hear it. The second is the remote learning function of the TV Speaker. This is a function that will let you use your normal tv or cable remote to control the volume of the Bose after a going through a simple programming process. I set this up and thought it worked fine until I touched other buttons on my cable remote (program guide, channel up or down, etc.) and the volume of the TV Speaker changed! The volume would randomly go up, down or mute whenever I would try to change a channel which was very frustrating to say the least! So, since the remote learning function obviously was a bust, the only way to normally solve it is to reset the TV Speaker so it erases the code. Problem is, I called Bose and although the person confirmed this is a known issue, there is currently no way to erase the codes and reset the speaker! Yes, you can unplug it for a while for a soft reset but it does not clear the codes. I even tried overriding the original code by programming 2 other remotes (from 2 other manufacturers) but the problem persisted. Since I was on the last day of my 15 day return window, I made the decision to return the TV Speaker. Bose needs to address both of these known issues with a firmware update and it just hasn't happened yet. You pay a premium for their products so you expect them to perform as such. I personally like the brand and currently have other products from Bose but I was not going to wait to see if and when these known problems would be rectified. It was just too expensive for that.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hey Sean,
      I'm sorry to hear that you have experienced these issues and have chosen to return the soundbar.
      In these situations, I would recommend updating the firmware by following the instructions here: https://bose.life/37Zxw37. This will help resolve these issues.
      Thanks!

    Great Soundbar, Overall Sound Quality > Base

    Excellent soundbar in a compact, quality package. The sound coming from this system is crisp and clear. It has nice balance and range. Potential buyers should note that it doesn't have the deepest of base, but it still puts out in that department. I personally enjoy the balance as you still get rich base without it overpowering the treble aspect of shows, movies, etc. There is less up and down on the volume when switching from quiet dialog based scenes to booming action. The only real negative that I have with the bar is that though I love the minimalist, sleek design, I do wish there were a small, inconspicuous display at least. As is, the only way to see volume level on the device is when a small light blinks each time a remote click turns it up or down. But, this is more of a nitpick than a real problem.
