    Bose Speaker Breaks After Several Hours of Use

    Item broke after ~4 hours of use. It simply stopped powering on. Also... it has no buttons. So what happens if the remote breaks, or runs out of batteries? Very unreliable speaker.

    After 8 Months It Overheats & Cuts Out

    Bought it July 2023 and here we are 8 months later and it overheats and sound keeps cutting out or sounds volume keeps going up and down. What I mean by up and down is normal volume to near no sound. Plan to call Bose and ask about their 1 year warranty.

    Would not buy a Bose sound bar again!

    I have had this sound bar for approx. 8 mos. now. Even though I am using an HDMI cord, thru my Samsung’s HDMI ARC port, every time I turn the TV off, at the end of the day, and on, the next day, I get no sound thru the sound bar! I have gone into the TV settings and made sure everything was checked, that needed to be checked. The only solution I’ve found is to turn the TV and sound bar off, disconnect the power plugs to both, wait a couple of minutes, connect back to plugs, then turn the TV and sound bar on again! What a routine to have to go thru every day! I expected better from Bose!
