    Bose Sound Bar

    This sound bar is easy to connect to the TV - no guess work. It comes with everything you need. I paired it with our cable and music streaming system simply. Sounds great and does not cover up part of the screen like the last sound bar.

    The soundbar offers impressive sound quality with clear dialogue, balanced mids, and punchy bass, making it a standout in its price range. Its sleek, durable build feels premium and fits well in any setup. While bass enthusiasts might prefer adding a subwoofer, the performance is solid overall. At its regular price, it’s a good buy, but on sale, it becomes an outstanding value. If you want great sound and build quality without breaking the bank, this sound bar is a smart choice—especially during a discount.

    Bose tv speaker did have great sound for the price. However there was no app to it and on the remote there was no treble. I did change it for the smart soundbar because I like to adjust treble and bass. However if you are on a strict budget this will be ok.

    Bose has always been top notch and this sound bar delivers at that level. Really easy to set up and use. Only giving it 4 stars b/c you have to use the Bose remote to adjust the bass and connect a Bluetooth device. Also, have to manually turn down sound on tv and there is no volume level display when changing the volume.

    Easy to install, use and great sound. I've got 3 of them. Only complaint is I purchased an open box to try to save a few bucks. It was missing the controller. I had to return and ended up purchasing a brand new one. Best Buy needs to do a better job of inspecting and reselling returned items.

    Bose TV Speaker Bluetooth Soundbar

    Bought this to get better volume and sound than the built-in TV speaker. It sounds good to for our aged ears and plenty of volume I searched for a soundbar that would fit in the 2-1/4" gap under our 43" LG TV between the stands, so that I wouldn't have to raise the TV. It is perfect for that - just fits. Two concerns: 1) I wanted to use the HDMI arc connection to control the volume through the TV remote. Bought a "4K rated" HDMI cable but it still won't work. Bose fault or LG, I don't know. It works with the optical cable, but you have to use the soundbar remote for volume and to turn off. 2) the volume goes up or down as I change channels with my mediacom cable box remote. Have to adjust volume almost every time I change channel.

      Hi there,

      It's great to see that you enjoy the sound and it fits just right for where you want it.
      We have help on our website getting the Soundbar to recognize your TV or cable box remote for changing the volume here: https://bose.life/3sW3hUH
      Your cable box remote for changing channel looks to be sharing the volume change signal on the Soundbar. We would recommend moving the cable box further away from the Soundbar if possible to avoid signal clash.

      If you need further support then please contact us https://bose.life/35ejz34 so we can go through your concerns with you.

    I’ve always loved Sony’s products and this soundbar does not disappoint. I think the sound is full and the bass is good, you just gotta play around with the strings and you’ll get this going. If you can get this on sale I think it’s worth it; haven’t had any connections issues, etc. I’m gonna get the surround speakers to complete the set at some point.

    The Bose speaker was a vast improvement over the sound that was coming out of my Samsung tv. Voices are crisp and clear. This is a speaker not a surround sound unit. For the price it can't be beat.

    Perfect speaker for a small to medium room. I have it in a bedroom and I don't even need a subwoofer. Sleek and classy in its looks and the sound is classic Bose, which is fantastic.

    Excellent sound from this small soundbar. Bose makes incredible small-speaker soundbars, and this affordable model is no exception. No, it's not wireless, BUT it doesn't have any delay between the video and sound. The remote is nice, and saves me 20 steps a day. Love it!

    Good sound clear easy-to-use a little deceiving finding out that it's really a speaker and not an actual soundbar. So with that said I still need a sound bar for my living room I will use the bose for my bedroom and kitchen with that said it being portable I bought the bracket and can't return it it's over 30 days old and I don't need it as you will see in my picture.
