    this soundbar gets very loud with the volume all the way up. it’s almost too loud. then when you turn it all the way down, it’s almost like there’s no soundbar at all. i recommend turning it up at least a little or just don’t buy it, you know?

    Normally the clarity in sound is sharp. Something is a little off but it could be me. I'm still adjusting settings. I have purchased Bose TV Speakers in the past.

    This is a simple TV speaker with no special features. I was after something a bit better so returned for the Smart Soundbar. Great for what it is but not for me.

    The TV was delivered in mint condition. The two gentlemen, who delivered the item, were polite, friendly, and courteous. They should be congratulated, too. The TV worked at power on and all is well.

    Works OK. Not sure if I'm noticing a huge difference from the TV audio. The HDMI-ARC is working well allowing me to power and use via TV/Tivo remote. Also, like that I see volume indicator on TV when using TV/Tivo remote (not getting that with Sonos).

    It does exactly what I wanted. I needed for sound because this is an install in a small cabinet and the sound was muffled because the speakers for the TV where under the unit and so therefore blocked.

    Dialogue button improved voices; added noise

    The Bose soundbar was meant to replace a Vizio soundbar to make it easier to hear dialogue. We liked that the Bose offered a one-touch button to improve voice clarity. The problem we found is that it gave all other sounds a muffled whirl type sound that was quite annoying. We returned the soundbar and made some adjustments to our old one which now sounds better.

      Hi Scott,

      It's great to see that you're loving the dialogue mode available on the Soundbar. I understand you returned it due to finding the audio muffled. In dialogue mode it does lower and even out the background sounds to help clear up dialogue.

      If you decide to change your mind though, you can try adjusting the tone controls https://bose.life/3X79xaq or contact us https://bose.life/38DNELy if you'd like help with the Soundbar.
