    Only $199. This soundbar and my LG OLED 65 inch A2 is a match made in heaven, its not turned up more than halfway and its movie theater quality. My fiance has the Bose soundbar 900 and its deafening! Way too much for my ears. This was the perfect choice for me. I highly recommend!!

    The soundbar worked good for two weeks then started shutting off and back on by itself. I spoke with Bose Tech support two times to try to solve the issue. When it couldn’t be resolved I was two days out of the return policy at Best Buy. I had to ship it back to Bose. We’ll be waiting a while to get it back…..

    Great Speaker for Smaller Areas Without the BOOM!

    This TV speaker is perfect for a smaller living room where you don't need the BOOM of a larger theatre style speaker system. It allows better sound than relying on the TV speaker itself. I hooked up ours through the optical port. My only complaint would be that you cannot use your TV remote to control the sound.

    I am surprised at how poor this speaker is, especially from Bose. It sounds about the same as, or maybe a little worse, than the stock speakers in my 7 year old television (which is on the cheaper end of TVs they sold at the time). I think you'd be better off to plug in an Alexa or something - it sounds like a cheap portable USB speaker. And it has a white light on it that will not go off, facing the person looking at the TV. The only way to get it off is to hide it by covering with electric tape. It may work okay in a very small room, but you're better off saving your money here.

    This is a good sound bar to enhance sound but at $250 we all know we are paying for the name rather than quality. Overall it’s a great speaker for music and movies but lacks bass

    We love this soundbar! It is literally the perfect soundbar, quality of the sound and bass is amazing. My only complaint is that once connected with you tv, it doesn’t show any numbers going up and down as you change the volume level, there’s just a plus and minus sign on the TV. So if you forget what you left you TV on, it may be too loud.

    The Bose is a good buy for the money but the LG sy9 I purchased a year and a half back is a piece of crap which total tech which I am a member will not cover for repair because I didn’t purchase a protection policy in addition to the 199.00 fee for total tech which is now included with total tech. Avery unsatisfactory customer accommodating and left with a 700 dollar piece of crap

    This soundbar never worked properly. Was constantly trying to pick up a Bluetooth signal or would disconnect. Reached out to Bose about it when I had the opportunity, and they had no interest in making it right, as it was out of the warranty period. Check Reddit - there's a thread of people who got these, and all had the same experience. There was clearly a defective batch.

    The Sony Bravia has an outstanding picture but the sound quality is terrible. Ended upbuying a sound bar which "fixed" the problem.
