    Sound not quite worth the cost

    I bought this Bose TV Speaker as well as the Bass Module 500 subwoofer as a house Christmas present, but set up up the week to test it, and I was highly disappointed. The soundbar alone was fairly week. The dialog was fine, but even tweaking the settings and connecting the subwoofer didn't really add much. This was in a master bedroom, not a giant room by any means. I still have my old Bose 201 speakers from way back when, and they are solid. This particular soundbar setup just isn't up to par.

    Love sound but keeps shutting off requiring turning it back on as you change channels. I have Geek squad coverage and will be returning to store for fix.

    Lasted a couple months and it started overheating even when not in use. Being hot, the unit did not turn on. Sounded amazing when working but major flaw on temperature design.

    I bought this thinking that it would be good because we have Bose in the basement. This product was not that good so we returned it.

    How can you ever go wrong with Bose? It's not top of line, but definitely improves the sound quality over the TV speakers in an ultr-thin TV,

    Bought this today as open box item. The label did not say what was wrong with it, got home and it’s missing the remote. Try to set it up with the HDMI ARC anyway…didn’t work. Apparently you have to have the remote to set it up.
