    This is a great soundbar when you want something very simple and better than your tv. Has pretty good bass and impressive sound stage for its size. Dialog comes in clear and has Dialog boost of need be. Only has one tweeter but it does the job.

    The soundbar arrived less than 24 hours after ordering. Syncing the soundbar with my TV and Fision remote took all of 3 minutes. The sound is great

    I just want to say the sound is great on this soundbar. It was easy to set up and it does have an HDMI ARC and an optical output. The reason I returned it was because you can only have one of them plugged in at anytime to utilize it. Since I was connecting this to a monitor and a tv I did not like that I had to connect and disconnect the cables. For a small room the sound is great! It is a simple speaker so you can't connect to the Bose App to control other features. For that you would need to upgrade to the Bose 600 or 900 and those are pricier speakers.

    Looks and sounds great. So far the only issue was connecting it to my Fire TV. I wanted it to power on with the Fire TV remote. I couldn’t get it to work but the Bose has the option to power on if there is a sound signal. With the power on by signal, there is a 1-2 second delay. Not an issue for me. There is plenty of bass for movies and music. I was looking for clear voice frequencies which this speaker delivers. This was on sale when I got it, so i think it was a good deal.

    Sound is super loud. I love that it was easy to hook up and kool features to adjust how you want to hear the sound. Comes with a remote that is easy to use. I feel like I’m at the movie theaters. Not to mention perfect size.

    We’ve replaced our bedroom speakers with the Bose soundbar. The sound is more clear, even when we have to lower the volume at night. We can still understand the conversations. The bass is really good for its size. Highly recommend if you are looking for a low budget upgrade but also want the best sound quality.

    For its size it definitely packs a decent amount of sound. The added center channel tweeter/mid range definitely helps with sound clarity verse the cheaper Bose Solo models that just have the two 30° angled mid-range. This one also includes those as well so you get an overall decent dispersion of sound and the sound field. Plus it gives you the ability to run a 3.5 mm cable to a bass source. Buying it at the $200 sales price I would say is well worth it. At the 279 price point, the lines start to blur of whether or not you should just go with a Bose soundbar that's one step up or another equivalent. The sound bars above this include a HDMI ARC support which allows you to use the TV remote to control volume. As well as app support to adjust and control everything

    For the price, this Bose sound bar has great sound. My new Hisense TV recognized and paired the device without a hitch. The only issue I have is that the Bose sound bar volume appears on the screen but no sound is available without turning off the sound bar, then turning it back on. I have gone through all the trouble shooting recommendations from Bose, but none of them have worked. I power up the TV, which powers up the sound bar, at which time I power down the sound bar and turn it back on. Then I get Bose sound.

    I wanted to downsize from a Definitive Technology surround sound but still wanted some resemblance of better sound quality than tv sound. After reading reviews and sound testing numerous options, I felt the Bose unit was perfect for my application. It fills the room with sound and is a great improvement to any tv. We use it for regular tv and movies. It does not have the depth and power of a true surround sound, but you can hear definition in the sound it puts out. The Bluetooth feature is surprisingly convenient as well!

    Pro's - Sound bar was very easy to install and provides very good sound...sooo much better than sound reflecting off the back wall and other hard surfaces. We can now understand what's being said at a much lower volume. Product has a low profile and no extra subwoofer to contend with. Con's - Included instructions are limited, so had to go online but webpage was VERY helpful. Remote uses IR to control. Cable provider IR remote was not compatible to sync directly with sound bar but other DVR fuction buttons control volume so volume changes with FF, Rew, up, down buttons. Quite a pain, mostly because dealing with cable company hasn't been very productive - surprise! If you have RF remotes or a compatible IR remote, won't be an issue. Outside of that IR issue, I would give it a 5.

    I bought this for a travel trailer. It does what I need it to. When using it for listening to talking, it reproduces bass a little too much. But for music and movies it does very well in my opinion for the size, and money. When I was running the ac I could barely hear the tv at max volume, and now the problem is solved, so I’m happy.

    Bose TV Soundbar is the best soundbar I have purchased yet. This soundbar is small & powerful for the price. The clear voice is great! Good job Bose, it's about time somebody makes a soundbar where you can understand the voices and also have great sound.
