    It's an ok soundbar. It will certainly be an improvement to the basic tv speakers. If you can afford it go with the Bose 300 instead.

    I was disappointed in this purchase due to the fact I thought I could choose to listen to it when I wanted to but I have to turn it on all the time I can’t listen to just the TV

    Best of all for the price because you get more than what you pay for clear and room filling sound ;-)

    Originally, I thought that I was purchasing a sound bar... oops!! This bar has a great sound but not what I needed. As we know, Bose is great quality!

      Posted .

      Hello! The Bose TV Speaker is a one-step, simple solution for better TV sound. It’s small but powerful, delivering a clear, balanced and natural-sounding audio experience that enhances dialogue and bass performance. I am sorry to hear it was not what you were looking for but I am so happy you loved it.

    I treated myself to this BOSE speaker for Christmas but was sadly very disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I couldn't believe or accept the very low performance and poor sound quality. I am completely disappointed with this BOSE product. I opted to buy another competing soundbar that is even smaller in size and -above all much cheaper- with sound and quality far exceeds this BOSE TV soundbar. I personally do NOT recommend it. You'll end-up feeling like it was a wasted of money.

    It had problems from day one, with the remote working intermittently. It did work consistently for 3 months. Then it would switch between TV speakers and soundbar for no reason. Finally today it died. I am going to look for options to use the limited warranty. I would not recommend this item. I will go with Sony, instead.
