    Looks like I'm not the only one with premature failure problems. Bought the first one and it lasted about a month before it stopped working. Swapped it out and the next one lasted about 3 hours before it too failed. Swapped that one to a Sonus and so far, no issues. The one shining spot in all this was Best Buy's support. They outdid themselves making things right.

    Bought an open box product, however there was no remote, which is needed to operate the system. This was a gift, and I was disappointed.

    Decent sound, bass wasn’t great. Had issues with it staying connected to my tv. I would turn on the tv and it would work. Then next time no sound out of the Bose or TV speakers. Would have to completely unplug hdmi and power and reconnect only to get it to work sometimes. Returned it and exchanged for a Sonos Beam. MUCH better.

    Sound is bit low, probably due to my tv volume. Need to increase volume points for basic sound.

    Below average for the price you're paying. It's a smaller producing box compared to the older samsung bar and seperate bass I had before. Had high hopes for the brand.

    I returned this for a better system, the Bose Signa S4 3.1.2 Ch Ultra-Slim TV Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos and Voice Adjust because the voices were too hard to hear even when using the voice mode on the remote. Also, there was not a way to see which voice mode was selected on the TV or remote.
