    Just wanted a simple sound bar, no sub woofer, and a reasonable price, to enhance my tv's sound. This fits the bill all around. My only complaint is there are no buttons on the bar itself, only a little remote. Don't want to lose that.

    BOSE TV Speaker is a keeper!

    Very impressed! I returned a small JBL 2.1 sound bar and subwoofer setup and picked the BOSE TV Speaker on the advice of a family member. The JBL was great but I was not able to detune the subwoofer enough to keep from bothering my neighbors (apartment living). This is where the BOSE TV Speaker really shines. Without the external wired subwoofer, it is powerful enough to deliver some impressive bass response without becoming overpowering. Now I realize that this is subjective, but in an apartment, your neighbors have their subjectivity to weigh in with as well. We have plans to move to a house once we have saved some more money and then we can add the subwoofer if we need more bass at that time. Pros: Remote is small, but not too tiny. Indicator LED's on the bar are not overpowering. Voice enhancement lets you increase voices in the audio without sacrificing the additional audio. Compact and deceptively powerful. Bluetooth (if you want to listen to your Bluetooth audio device. Cons: Single HDMI port (ARC) Expensive optional mounting brackets (optional and if needed) A little pricy - it's BOSE. Overall, a definite keeper!

    Best soundbar on the market

    The Bose soundbar is by far the best in the business. I bought it to watch this years Superbowl and it didn't disappoint. Since then I've enjoyed several movies and television shows, but i think the best feature is the quality of my music when connected to Bluetooth. My only suggestion is if you are going to buy this product spend the extra money to buy the subwoofer, I certainly am. All in all an excellent product and money well spent. One last thing the set up was super easy, I do recommend connecting via HDMI but thats only because I'm an HDMI fan, that doesn't come with it.

    Easy Setup and works well out of the box. Sound is vastly better than the built in TV speakers. Voice and bass boost modes are useful. The only ding on it is the lack of useful users guide.

    The soundbar arrived less than 24 hours after ordering. Syncing the soundbar with my TV and Fision remote took all of 3 minutes. The sound is great

    This soundbar is a huge difference from the TV speaker. We have a small apartment so we didn’t have a real need for an extremely amplified soundbar. This does the job perfectly! Movies and music are both now elevated as far as sound goes. We required an HDMI cable (the cable it comes with wasn’t compatible). Once it was connected to our smart tv with the HDMI cable, we didn’t really have a use for the small remote that it comes with. In other words, the soundbar automatically turns on along with the TV. The volume is adjusted with our TV remote. It is also has Bluetooth capability which makes listening to music very easy. It was designed in such a way that sound is not only projected from the front but also from the sides. It is a reasonable size with a bit of weight to it, but isn’t an eye sore. Overall, we’re very pleased with this purchase!

    The perfect TV speaker soundbar!

    I purchased the Bose - TV Speaker Bluetooth Soundbar to get better room filling sound. This review is based on 1 month of ownership. I own a 65” Sony Bravia 4k TV and like most large screen TVs the speakers are not very powerful. I am rating this Bose Soundbar 5 stars because: 1) The sound is worlds better than my TV’s speakers. I can hear all the voices clearly and I get good room filling sound. My TV room is 12’ x 18’ and this soundbar is perfect. 2) This soundbar is smaller and fits in my entertainment center nicely. Many sound bars are very wide and do not fit in my entertainment center. 3) I have this soundbar connected to my TV’s HDMI “ARC” port. When I turn my TV on/off the soundbar turns on/off. When I turn the TV volume up/down the soundbar volume goes up/down. I only need to use the TV remote which simplifies things.

    Sound bar is amazing. Sound quality and loudness control is perfection. I would most definitely be buying more to put in my main living area and den.I was debating this one and JBL.

    Use it all the time. Works great for both watching tv or connecting to Bluetooth to listen to Spotify. It’s small & fits just about anywhere. It’s loud given its size. Easy to setup & easy to switch back and forth between the tv & phone to play music.

    I bought this sound system for our home, and it’s exactly what we were looking for! The sound is fantastic — rich, full, and crystal clear. It easily fills our entire house with music without overpowering conversations. We can still talk, laugh, and hear each other perfectly while the audio plays in the background. No more struggling to shout over the music or turning it down every time someone speaks. It’s the perfect balance of powerful, room-filling sound and natural clarity. Highly recommend if you want great audio that works with real life instead of drowning it out!

    Great Solution for Hearing TV Dialogue

    I was having difficulty hearing the dialogue from our TV speakers or our older Samsung sound bar. After struggling for years with this, adding close captioning, and even with hearing aids. I gave up. Some shows with accents and some dialects were almost impossible for me. After reading reviews I decided to try this speaker from Bose. It is wonderful. I can turn off close captions and hear with the volume low. The speaker is very compact so it doesn't cover the bottom of the TV and block out the screen. It was so easy to install and came packaged so well. It reminds me of Apple products which I love. All I had to do is connect 2 cords. I was also able to connect my phone very easily to use the speaker for music. I can't say enough good about it. Now if you want surround sound with the subwoofers this isn't it. I think you may be able to add more but if you just want clear dialogue it's wonderful

    Absolutely Amazing

    I am absolutely delighted with this soundbar. We bought a new 65" 4K UHD TV late summer along with a new Insignia cabinet and this speaker is the last component to complete the new set-up. I cannot adequately describe to you the subtle depth of audio clarity that this little guy brings to the viewing experience; you don't have to play it loud, it just immerses the whole room. Our living room is average to smallish in size and the unit is perfect for our set-up. The set-up was amazingly simple using the included cable along with a quick perusal of the manual. Bass and dialog settings were simple and I was done in 10 minutes. I've always heard that Bose audio was 'top-of-the-line' and I'm here to tell you, it is. So, if you're thinking about purchasing this Bose soundbar, go ahead and do it. You won't be sorry!

    The Bose tv soundbar is easy to install and operate. It is the perfect solution for a small space that you want to fill with sound. The bass speaker and the Omni directional Bose design show why Bose is the best sound system engineering company in the world. The bang for the buck is extreme and this is a perfect purchase for anyone wanting to fill the room with sound for a minimal amount of space taken.

    Purchased to balance out the sound on the TV as dialog in many shows is muted due to the background music or sounds. It has lived up to its promises. No longer does the volume need to be shattering!
