    Not what I expected from Bose

    I returned this for a better system, the Bose Signa S4 3.1.2 Ch Ultra-Slim TV Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos and Voice Adjust because the voices were too hard to hear even when using the voice mode on the remote. Also, there was not a way to see which voice mode was selected on the TV or remote.

    Not as powerful as I expected; did not improve sound quality, particularly for dialogue, as well as I thought it would.

    After 8 Months It Overheats & Cuts Out

    Bought it July 2023 and here we are 8 months later and it overheats and sound keeps cutting out or sounds volume keeps going up and down. What I mean by up and down is normal volume to near no sound. Plan to call Bose and ask about their 1 year warranty.

    Bought an open box product, however there was no remote, which is needed to operate the system. This was a gift, and I was disappointed.

    Bose Speaker Breaks After Several Hours of Use

    Item broke after ~4 hours of use. It simply stopped powering on. Also... it has no buttons. So what happens if the remote breaks, or runs out of batteries? Very unreliable speaker.

    Not happy with this thing at all. Originally bought a little over a year ago, and then within a few months it would not power on. I did an RMA with Bose and they repaired it and sent it back. Now every time my TV comes on, the speaker sometimes will not work at all and I have to restart it. First time purchasing a Bose product, and likely never will again. Nothing but frustration with this thing.

    Below average for the price you're paying. It's a smaller producing box compared to the older samsung bar and seperate bass I had before. Had high hopes for the brand.
