    The Sony Bravia has an outstanding picture but the sound quality is terrible. Ended upbuying a sound bar which "fixed" the problem.

    It's an ok soundbar. It will certainly be an improvement to the basic tv speakers. If you can afford it go with the Bose 300 instead.

    Originally, I thought that I was purchasing a sound bar... oops!! This bar has a great sound but not what I needed. As we know, Bose is great quality!

    • Brand response from Bose
      Posted .

      Hello! The Bose TV Speaker is a one-step, simple solution for better TV sound. It’s small but powerful, delivering a clear, balanced and natural-sounding audio experience that enhances dialogue and bass performance. I am sorry to hear it was not what you were looking for but I am so happy you loved it.

    I treated myself to this BOSE speaker for Christmas but was sadly very disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I couldn't believe or accept the very low performance and poor sound quality. I am completely disappointed with this BOSE product. I opted to buy another competing soundbar that is even smaller in size and -above all much cheaper- with sound and quality far exceeds this BOSE TV soundbar. I personally do NOT recommend it. You'll end-up feeling like it was a wasted of money.
