    Speaker sounds very good but...

    This speaker has the typically good Bose sound. However, we connected our laptop via bluetooth (sounded great) but now when we power up the laptop, this speaker turns on and connects to it without any prompting by us. If the tv is on using this speaker, and the laptop gets turned on, it switches from tv mode to bluetooth mode by itself, leaving no audio for the tv. We have to get the bose remote and press the tv button to get it back. So, we have to turn off the bluetooth feature on our laptop so this does not happen. We shouldn't have to do this. Bose stated no fix for this product yet. Our other bose speaker (last year's model) turns on bluetooth only when we prompt it to do so. Otherwise, it would have gotten higher ratings.

      Posted .

      Hello,

      It's great to hear that you're impressed by the exceptional Bose audio quality for the speaker. The TV speaker features Bluetooth, which means that it is visible to other devices nearby that have previously successfully connected.

      From the details that you've provided, your PC is connecting to the speaker when it powers up. This is due to your computer, not the soundbar. As noted, to disable your PC from triggering this, disable Bluetooth on your PC. Please contact the manufacturer of your computer for additional assistance.

    A must for flat panels!

    An absolute must for flat-panel TV’s whose internal speakers are notoriously inadequate. Even without the optional bass module, there’s plenty of low-end to go around.

    I am a proud owner of a Bose Sound Wave and am so satisfied with the quality of sound. I took this into consideration when shopping for a sound bar. I am just as satisfied with my choice of my Bose sound bar.

    Great sound for the money. Makes watching tv more enjoyable now that can hear sounds that the tv wouldn't pick up until volume was high.

    Very reasonable price for a good Bose speaker. Only drawback is it does not connect to the Bose app on your phone.

    It's a good sound bar for the price range. Compact size, so it fits under smaller TVs too. It's one of the few that don't include a subwoofer (in my case I didn't want the subwoofer)

    We replaced a dying LG soundbar that we thought sounded good. When we bought a new tv we decided to upgrade to the Bose. We can actually hear clear speaking while watching tv! Worth it!

    Bose sound bar sounds so good makes the tv speakers worthless. Bose is the top of the line and for the price at Best Buy there is no question to not buy it.

    Nice compact bose speaker. It sits in front of our TV. Hooked up with the fiber optic as I didn't have enough HDMI slots to hook it up with a HDMI cable. So now I have to use 2 remotes to control the sound and change channels.

    This rather unassuming small soundbar from Bose, combined with our new Samsung 32" QLED tv provides a near theater-like experience in our bedroom, Very surprised and pleased.

    Perfect for condo living. The sound bar puts out enough bass where I feel I do not need the subwoofer upgrade and do not upset my neighbors.
