Customer Ratings & Reviews

I rate this 4 stars for what it is. I see it as a replacement from using the built in TV speakers. It offers way better sound than those. It is not a big sound surround sound system. It offers more than enough bass for regular TV watching. The dialogue enhance helps as well on some programing. I have mine connected with HDMI eARC. It comes on automatically with the TV. Minus 1 star because every so often I have power cycle the speaker or disconnect/reconnect the HDMI cable to get it to sync with the TV. No idea if that is a TV or a speaker issue.

Impressive sound easy to set up. I tried Bluetooth first, using a HMDI cable. Great sound for sports.

Love the look of the sound bar and the sound quality is great. I love it.

Great realistic sound in a small sleek sound bar easy to use and set up

I started out buying the Sonos Beam 2, Returned it for the Bose Smart Soundbar. Both huge disappointments for around $500 each. The sound was extremely hollow. Thought I would try the less expensive Bose for $279.00. What a surprise. It walks all over the $500.00Sonos Beam 2 and the $529.00 Bose. Save a few hundred and buy this one. You won’t be disappointed!!!!

Sound bar provides a very full sound experience. It’s small form gives a very good range and clear sound

The Bose soundbar is by far the best in the business. I bought it to watch this years Superbowl and it didn't disappoint. Since then I've enjoyed several movies and television shows, but i think the best feature is the quality of my music when connected to Bluetooth. My only suggestion is if you are going to buy this product spend the extra money to buy the subwoofer, I certainly am. All in all an excellent product and money well spent. One last thing the set up was super easy, I do recommend connecting via HDMI but thats only because I'm an HDMI fan, that doesn't come with it.

It is easy to install and easy to use. Great sound.

Sound quality is fantastic. Easy to use. Definite upgrade from oir last one.

Easy Setup and works well out of the box. Sound is vastly better than the built in TV speakers. Voice and bass boost modes are useful. The only ding on it is the lack of useful users guide.

This soundbar is a huge difference from the TV speaker. We have a small apartment so we didn’t have a real need for an extremely amplified soundbar. This does the job perfectly! Movies and music are both now elevated as far as sound goes. We required an HDMI cable (the cable it comes with wasn’t compatible). Once it was connected to our smart tv with the HDMI cable, we didn’t really have a use for the small remote that it comes with. In other words, the soundbar automatically turns on along with the TV. The volume is adjusted with our TV remote. It is also has Bluetooth capability which makes listening to music very easy. It was designed in such a way that sound is not only projected from the front but also from the sides. It is a reasonable size with a bit of weight to it, but isn’t an eye sore. Overall, we’re very pleased with this purchase!

I purchased the Bose - TV Speaker Bluetooth Soundbar to get better room filling sound. This review is based on 1 month of ownership. I own a 65” Sony Bravia 4k TV and like most large screen TVs the speakers are not very powerful. I am rating this Bose Soundbar 5 stars because: 1) The sound is worlds better than my TV’s speakers. I can hear all the voices clearly and I get good room filling sound. My TV room is 12’ x 18’ and this soundbar is perfect. 2) This soundbar is smaller and fits in my entertainment center nicely. Many sound bars are very wide and do not fit in my entertainment center. 3) I have this soundbar connected to my TV’s HDMI “ARC” port. When I turn my TV on/off the soundbar turns on/off. When I turn the TV volume up/down the soundbar volume goes up/down. I only need to use the TV remote which simplifies things.

Great product! I no longer have the insane volume spikes between whisper quiet dialogue, booming action scenes and the abrupt ads that sound like Battle of Stalingrad in my Living Room. Audio is balanced and sounds crisp!

Use it all the time. Works great for both watching tv or connecting to Bluetooth to listen to Spotify. It’s small & fits just about anywhere. It’s loud given its size. Easy to setup & easy to switch back and forth between the tv & phone to play music.

I am absolutely delighted with this soundbar. We bought a new 65" 4K UHD TV late summer along with a new Insignia cabinet and this speaker is the last component to complete the new set-up. I cannot adequately describe to you the subtle depth of audio clarity that this little guy brings to the viewing experience; you don't have to play it loud, it just immerses the whole room. Our living room is average to smallish in size and the unit is perfect for our set-up. The set-up was amazingly simple using the included cable along with a quick perusal of the manual. Bass and dialog settings were simple and I was done in 10 minutes. I've always heard that Bose audio was 'top-of-the-line' and I'm here to tell you, it is. So, if you're thinking about purchasing this Bose soundbar, go ahead and do it. You won't be sorry!

I was having difficulty hearing the dialogue from our TV speakers or our older Samsung sound bar. After struggling for years with this, adding close captioning, and even with hearing aids. I gave up. Some shows with accents and some dialects were almost impossible for me. After reading reviews I decided to try this speaker from Bose. It is wonderful. I can turn off close captions and hear with the volume low. The speaker is very compact so it doesn't cover the bottom of the TV and block out the screen. It was so easy to install and came packaged so well. It reminds me of Apple products which I love. All I had to do is connect 2 cords. I was also able to connect my phone very easily to use the speaker for music. I can't say enough good about it. Now if you want surround sound with the subwoofers this isn't it. I think you may be able to add more but if you just want clear dialogue it's wonderful

Speaker works well with our new Samsung tv. Easy to set up

Great purchase, very easy to set up. Soud is outstanding.

This sound bar was so easy to set up right out of the box. Good sound quality. No problems since we set it up.

This is my second Bose soundbar. The set up is easy and the sound quality is very good. I usually check what is available in Bose before I think of purchasing anything else. Price is always a factor with Bose so I try to look for sales.
