Sound is incredible. Easy to install. Like you are in the theater

Best sound for a small sound bar. Great value for the money.

Its the only "surround sound" system ive had since the old school 7 speaker system, and i couldnt be happier. It feels like movie theater sound again and i find myself turning it down for the neighbors' sakes. I dont actually feel the bass but the depth of the sound seems to hit just as hard, and im happy. The only downside is the bose app and trying to sync it to the bose universal remote, but im not tech savvy, so in fairness it could just be me.

Wanted a smaller soundbar and was initially happy with the Bose TV Speaker but there are 2 significant problems I encountered. The first is the auto gain that comes out during quieter sections of movies or music. This is an audible hiss where the speaker is trying to amplify the background noise (when there is none) so it sounds like static or wind. Thought this was the source initially but encountered it with other programs and confirmed the problem on the Bose website. If there is a quiet passage you will hear it. The second is the remote learning function of the TV Speaker. This is a function that will let you use your normal tv or cable remote to control the volume of the Bose after a going through a simple programming process. I set this up and thought it worked fine until I touched other buttons on my cable remote (program guide, channel up or down, etc.) and the volume of the TV Speaker changed! The volume would randomly go up, down or mute whenever I would try to change a channel which was very frustrating to say the least! So, since the remote learning function obviously was a bust, the only way to normally solve it is to reset the TV Speaker so it erases the code. Problem is, I called Bose and although the person confirmed this is a known issue, there is currently no way to erase the codes and reset the speaker! Yes, you can unplug it for a while for a soft reset but it does not clear the codes. I even tried overriding the original code by programming 2 other remotes (from 2 other manufacturers) but the problem persisted. Since I was on the last day of my 15 day return window, I made the decision to return the TV Speaker. Bose needs to address both of these known issues with a firmware update and it just hasn't happened yet. You pay a premium for their products so you expect them to perform as such. I personally like the brand and currently have other products from Bose but I was not going to wait to see if and when these known problems would be rectified. It was just too expensive for that.

A quality way to upgrade your tv without spending a fortune

Great soundbar!! Chose it for my grandparent's and they have been loving it.

Excellent soundbar in a compact, quality package. The sound coming from this system is crisp and clear. It has nice balance and range. Potential buyers should note that it doesn't have the deepest of base, but it still puts out in that department. I personally enjoy the balance as you still get rich base without it overpowering the treble aspect of shows, movies, etc. There is less up and down on the volume when switching from quiet dialog based scenes to booming action. The only real negative that I have with the bar is that though I love the minimalist, sleek design, I do wish there were a small, inconspicuous display at least. As is, the only way to see volume level on the device is when a small light blinks each time a remote click turns it up or down. But, this is more of a nitpick than a real problem.

Bought a JBL speaker and subwoofer for my tv and it was a pain in the behind to connect. Returned and bought a Bose instead and problem solved!! Connecting was a breeze and can’t believe I went to JBL. Never Again!!! Stick with what you know BOSE!!!

Great speaker for the price. Helps bring out and clarify dialog for TV shows, sporting events, etc. simple plu and play. Good as a music speaker via Bluetooth. Happy with our purchase.

This was an impulse buy that turned out amazing. The quality of the sound has been greatly improved and easy to connect.

I have always loved the way Bose products sound and this speaker is not a disappointment. This is my 2nd one purchased. Same model. I have a hard time with the ways tv's sound and this sound bar helps tremendously. I can make out what they are saying!! I highly recommend this soundbar.

Do not let LTT or other biased reviews make you think this speaker doesnt punch above its size. this is the 2nd one i bought because the other one is still being used in another room. And if you can find a bass module 500 as a refurb or just pony up the money for it, this thing is legitamly a good mini home theater setup. Gotta give Bose credit where it is due on this one. I only wish it could be hooked to another 3rd party sub by some kinda dongle to eliminate e waste.

I love this product, it sounds great. Bose is awesome

I didn’t expect this to be such a good TV speaker. The voice is very clear. There’s enough bass for this small speaker. I am actually liking it more than my Apple HomePod.

The soundbar has a great sound and was easy to connect. I used the optical cord and connected it to my cable box. The bluetooth is a great feature and I make great use of it from my iPhone.

This has great sound quality. I am very happy with my purchase

This Bose Soundbar has changed my life! Eleven months ago I was forced to purchase two hearing aids. One is a transmitter and the other is the receiver. Yes, they help but not 100%. A friend suggested the Soundbar to help with my hearing loss while watching TV. Wow, what a difference this has made for me! And, my husband is thrilled since I don’t have to have the tv volume blasting. Thank you so much!

Bose’s sound quality always has no doubt. It is turning my TV into a home theater. We enjoyed the sound quality. We can easily switch to Bluetooth and connect to the phone when we need to listen from the phone.

Good sound bar! Bought it for our 85in Samsung and it works great.

The Bose soundbar provides a quality sound with more than enough volume. Setup was extremely early.
