Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased this to replace an LG bar that did not offer rich sound or perform well in the low range. The Bose does really well, offering rich sound with decent bass without a subwoofer. I am pleased.

It was easy to set up. Makes a big difference to the quality of the sound.

Good sound bass is good for no sub woofer if want super low bass add the woofer, but if you just want it for tv so you can hear it better then this is the soundbar for you with the added dialog mode makes voices louder with out increasing all the background noise

GREATSPEAKER IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE SOUND THAT COMES FROM TV SPEAKERS. WAS NOT LOOKING FOR GREAT SURROUND SOUND EXPERIENCE, ONLY TO IMPROVE MY TV SOUND. IT DOES THIS VERY WELL. EASY TO INSTALL AND EAY TO USE.

It’s good speaker. Sounds great. Easy to install. Good brand. Size is perfect match with my cabinet. I like it. I highly recommend it

Easy setup and great sound. Bose never disappoints.

One of the best soundbars hands down. Pack a punch in a small speaker.

I purchased this sound bar to help clear up the voices on my TV. Overall it does help to make the voices clearer and reduce background sounds and music. Easy to set up and control with the volume with my TV and cable box remote. Also has auto on function.

I needed a replacement for the lousy speakers installed by Samsung in my parent's set. It had to be zero adjustment-- just the television or DVD player remote to adjust volume. Great quality and absolutely no additional effort by the user after HDMI and power hookup. This is the unit.

I would give this unit 5 stars, except for the lack of LEDs on the front panel to monitor the status of the soundbar (read below). The sound is excellent for what I'm using it for. I didn't want to run a bunch of wire and hang satellite speakers for my 5.1 rear L-R speakers, so I'm using this soundbar for my rear L-R channels. It sits under the TV and incredibly fills in the gap between the front L-R main speakers. The dispersion is excellent -- exactly what Bose is famous for. (NOTE: This unit is amplified, so do not shoot hot amplified audio from your amp's speaker outputs unless you can pad it down! My Onkyo surround tuner lets me set each output as low as -14dB, which is perfect for not over-driving the input of the Bose.) I use the analogue AUX input jack to feed in the speaker-out signal from the amp. The "dialogue" setting really does clarify speech in shows & movies where there is a lot of background EFX or music going on. Mids & highs are crystal clear -- no sibilance. Now, about those cheesy LED's... This unit only has 2 LED's on the front to let you know what mode you're in, etc. The LED's change color, blink in various ways, stay solid, etc., for each function. I had to download the complete manual and keep the page for the LED Mode Table handy to keep track of what I was setting up. For $279, Dr. Bose should have added a few more (inexpensive) LED's to the front panel. This was a real design flaw. Simplicity is fine if it doesn't make things complicated. Lastly, when in auto power-down mode, it takes about 2 hours to power off when there is no signal present -- kinda silly. 10 minutes makes more sense. I do not use this unit with any outboard sub-woofer, as my Boston Acoustic mains give all the thump we need. If you are using this (as intended) strictly for a TV speaker, you may want to add a small sub-woofer. You can easily connect one with a patch cord, via the 1/8" sub-out jack on the back. The price of this unit is way too much, but I paid it because it's Bose and it was the best sounding bar in this size range with an analogue input.

Great sounds and great price. I really like this sound bar as it was easy to set up and use. It's a game changer and so much better than the speakers built into my tv. Definitely the best bang for your buck and you can't go wrong with BOSE.

Easy installation! Works very well. I love the clear, crisp sound.

Great sound, right amount of base, easy to connect, really increased volume!

Good sound for the size. Easy to set up. Looking to add a sub in the future

Very pleased. Easy to install and awesome sound quality.

Not as awesome as I had hoped for. Only has bass adjustment. But you can’t go wrong with Bose. It is significantly better than tv audio. I am pleased with the item for the price.

Even though this sound bar is relatively small, the sound from my TV is so much better than the TV speakers. It also integrated well with my ROKU TV, and I use the ROKU remote to control the sound bar. Very pleased with this purchase.

Having owned several Bose products we had high hopes for this reasonably priced product. Extremely impressed with this small bar and it’s big base sound. No separate woofer needed; this sound bar augments our LGGX in a very open living area with ease. This was our fourth attempt to find a sound device that did not sound like an auditorium speaker and render high quality sound without big bucks.

It's perfect, excellent sound, compact... just great!!!

Works very well. Has great sound quality and volume.
