    I love thge Bose sound bar. I only wish the tech has attached my single Bose speaker the system. I would be nice to have music in the rear of the house. Maybe you can send them back!

    Unit overheats and shuts off

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Unit shut itself off. When troubleshooting I realized the bottom left of the unit was extremely hot. So hot that it was uncomfortable to touch. I wasn't comfortable leaving it plugged in at this point. Still under warranty, but for $300 I wish it was within the return period. It's a Bose. Grew up believing their stuff was the best. I'm not mad, I'm disappointed. Consumerism will ruin even the best companies. Why make quality stuff when you can churn out junk for twice the profit. Shame. Called support. I send them mine and they'll send a new replacement. Chat was not working on their website (tried multiple browsers) and on the phone (mostly on hold) 38 minutes later. Glad they are replacing it under warranty, but another month and I'd have a very hot and very expensive paperweight. Added 1 star for the support (shrugs).

    The audio quality provided by this soundbar is excellent. Far surpassed my expectations. Our movie nights and game days have reached a new level. Easy install and easy to use. Don’t be fooled by the sleek and small design... this product packs a punch!

    Overpriced due to the Bose name

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Will this soundbar improve your TV experience as an upgrade from the built-in TV speakers? Yes. Will it blow you away or even impress you a little? Probably not. This soundbar is about $100 more than it should be, due to the Bose brand recognition. It does not perform any better than most soundbars that are in the $100-150 price range. A lack of an LED display for functions and volume, as well as no ability to adjust the treble, are also negatives. If you're only looking for a compact bar, save your money and purchase a cheaper one as long as it has full range drivers or built-in subwoofers.

    Awesome sounds quality

    This is definitely a runner up to having a full sound system. It's not always the best, but the dialogue mode is a great feature and allowed for ear of listening to each word. It was way to set up but wish it came with mounting brackets.

    Dead after 2 years. Customer Service is a Joke.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This Bose TV Speaker died by itself after a power outage. Only the left red light flashes. Researched the problem it is the voltage regulator on the main circuit board. Local Tech said it was too expensive to repair. Called Bose tech to see if they knew anything. They said it was dead, but their CSR department offered to sell me a new one for $104. Good deal, right? Wrong. They did not tell me I needed to ship the old one back to them via UPS. I do not have a box this big and UPS sells boxes for around $40. All this happened over 30 days ago because their CSR got my email wrong. What a waste of time. I bought a small $20 bluetooth speaker which I can put next to me while watching TV. Less ambient noise, good sound, not subject to power outage failure.

    The dialogue mode works very well, and that alone made it worth the price. No more closed captions on “mumble movies”. Easy setup.
