    I really like the auto power on and off based on sound input from the TV.

    This was perfect for our TV that sits over the fireplace. We needed a soundbar that didn't have to have a separate sub, but could still produce quality sound and this is it.

    It was okay, haven't even had it a year & it's recently just died. Not sure why. Bose is an incredible sound company, I'm thoroughly bummed out. I should've went with Polk Audio

    Disappointed in the sound quality. I watched the sales video prior to purchasing and the fullness of the sound was amazing. After receiving and hooking up to the TV, it sounded nothing like the video. Not much improvement over the TV speakers.

    I brought it home. I installed it. It worked for a couple of hours and then it actually died. Could not get it to come back on. It died while watching TV and never reconnected. Even though it was hardwired.

    I bought it kept it a week and returned it. Even bought the bass module that Bose says works with it and don’t waste your time. The sound was awful for what you call me to expect from Bose. There was no clarity, no award winning sound, nothing but muffle and poor controls. It was not my favorite Bose purchase and I have a Bose solo 5 in my bedroom that sounds better. As for the recommended bass module that runs $400 by itself so no great budget saver there at $250 for the sound bar. The sound bar was unable to put any power to the bass. You could feel the bass but you could barely hear it. If you’re looking for a good sound and great product from a brand you expect to be great don’t look at this one.

      Hi Bryan, I'm truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with your Bose TV Speaker. This doesn't sound usual, and I believe that there may have been an issue with the product or the setup.

      If you haven't already returned the system, I strongly urge you to reach out to our customer support for a 1 to 1 troubleshooting session. We'd really love you to experience the full potential of this speaker. - http://bose.life/globalsupport

      Thanks,
