    The JBL soundbar delivers impressive sound quality with deep bass and clear dialogue, making it perfect for movies, music, and gaming. Setup is quick and easy, and the sleek design fits well in any living room. For the price, it’s a fantastic upgrade from standard TV speakers — powerful, reliable, and worth it.

    Bose is sound king

    Bose does it again. Crisp detailed sound. Great for at home movie nights. And perfect for gaming. I can hear the enemy's footsteps and my team talking with out having to use my headset. Love the sleak design. Fits under my tv if I want it to sit flushed. Not this bulky speaker that takes up space and seems to be all you see. Most tv speakers can be bulky but not thse. Love the bluetooth capabilities. Makes life easier. Easy setup. Even packaging was done well. No bulky boxes so I'm able to save the box for when I move. Remote is perfect medium size. I have lost and stepped on and broken other brand speakers made so cheaply. So I appreciate this remotes size yet not the size. Bose has been my favorite brands for headphones so I'm glad I gave speaker a change. It's worth every penny. And this company is amaze with their customer service if needed. I highly recommend it.

    Better sound really helps improve TV watching

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This Bose TV Speaker dramatically improves the sound from my TV. Speech and mid frequencies are much easier to hear and discern. With the built-in speakers speech was sometimes indistinguishable and I had to increase the volume to occasional uncomfortable levels. There is now bass and some rumble where there was previously none. The highs are also improved from the built-in TV speakers, there is some sparkle and increased clarity there as well. This improvement is noticed most dramatically when watching movies or concerts, but regular everyday, casual watching benefits as well. Once you get use to the better sound it is difficult to go without a soundbar for your television. Setup was easy and straight-forward, I tried both optical and HDMI-ARC connections and settled with HDMI-ARC due to preferring the volume control integration with the original TV remote. The speakers are thin and blend in well with the television and stand.

    It’s a real improvement over our previous setup. The sound is great and we can actually hear what people are saying. The HDMI arc actually works with our 15 year old Samsung flat screen TV. I haven’t tried the Bluetooth yet, but would recommend based on my experience thus far.

    I've enjoyed using the new Bose TV speaker. It's a nice size as to not take up too much space, discrete enough to not clash with any decor and works supremely well. Features that I really like are the bass control to really dial a nice level of base to fit what's being played or watched. Additionally, I enjoy the feature that boosts dialogue to make it easier to decipher. Overall, it's a great piece of tech and will be enjoying it for years to come.

    Love the sound, only thing is, is it doesn't work hand in hand with LG tvs. You have to turn off a setting within your LG tv and only have the sound coming out of the soundbar. If I would've known that, I would've just gotten another LG soundbar, but this for the price and performance is good.

    Better than other reviews say

    For a simple, small speaker; this does pack a decent punch. While this will never compete with a home theater setup, or even a standard 2.1 setup; it does elevate the TV speakers while also adding in some bass. Its small size makes it easy to place anywhere, mine is under my TV (which is on the standard legs that came with the TV, not wall mounted). I would recommend this for someone who wants better sound quality than the TV speakers provides, but doesn't want to deal with the hassle of a full A/V Receiver setup. I would not go in expecting this to sound like a movie theater, as you will be disappointed. Well worth the money and I strongly recommend for anyone who is not happy with just the TV speakers.

    Bose-TV Speaker Soundbar

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought the Bose Soundbar for our TV that has a speaker rattle. The size of the soundbar is good and fits easily in front of the TV base. With the TV speaker turned off, the Bose unit works well. The Dialog switch is nice for programs with a lot of dialog, as it boosts the treble for clearer speech. The normal setting has more bass which is good for movie soundtracks. The one thing I don't like is that you can set it to turn on with your TV but you can't set it to turn off with your TV, which makes no sense. You have to remember to turn it off separately from your TV. Bose needs to change this. Otherwise, I am happy with its performance.

    Pretty good sound bar system. Its small but mighty, the setup was relatively easy the sound is phenomenal. The only downside is that you really need to listen in when you set up the system to indicate that its on.

    Omg! Almost 2 years ago, my Samsung sound bar died. Fast forward and I was having problems with my Sony soundbar for the 3rd time. Started looking and saw this on sale. 30 seconds I had it installed. Then paired to my phone and now I'm listening to Sirius and watching TV. Love the quality and the ease of use.

    Reviewed several products, but settled on the Bose. I’ve been impressed with their product quality and performance. Their customer support has always been spot on. This was for my parents, as their TV speakers were less than stellar. The hookup was simple and had it going in a couple minutes. Again this was for my 80 year old parents, so simple is better. They instantly said “wow”, that is amazing. Audio from people speaking was more clear, but the music channels sounded great as well. The hardest part was pairing it to their cable TV providers remote. A few minutes with them and it was setup, so they have one remote. You can pair your phone to it as well via Bluetooth to play music. It’s pretty compact and looks good. It’s not the cheapest product, but I believe its the best combination of value and performance.

    The Bose - TV Speaker Bluetooth Soundbar works for our needs as expected. This is our second Soundbar, as we already have one in the living room. We placed this new unit in our bedroom. We initially purchased this after hearing the sound quality at my parents house. We were sold! Pros Our current flatscreen tv’s have uneven sound and in certain streaming apps the commercials are significantly louder than the movie or tv show we are watching. This Soundbar has an amazingly even transition of sound from commercial to streaming program so we do not have to mute and unmute every commercial break and on Hulu it was a pain to do so. We also had an issue with inconsistencies in the transition between the bass and speech, but once we hooked up the new Bose TV Speaker that issue went away. We can clearly hear the actors even the soft spoken moments as well as great bass during action scenes. CONS I will begin by saying if you are looking for a movie theater experience in your house with surround sound quality this will probably not be for you. This is a Soundbar and does not come with extra speakers to surround your seating area, however, I think they do have options for add on’s or Soundbars that do come with extra speaker set ups. The only con I can think of would be something I feel like most people would get frustrated with when setting up their speaker. With our first speaker we hooked it up to our TCL android TV and we jumped through hoops to find the correct setup selection to initiate the connection. I am pretty sure this was a TV issue not a Soundbar issue. On our Roku Tv the only issue we had connecting was making sure we had the correct HDMI ARC cord. They provide a different cord (Optical) but if you want an HDMI connection you have to purchase a cord specifically for the ARC connection. We tried two different HDMI cords before it worked. The Optical connection works but if I am correct it does not allow for the Soundbar to be controlled by your remote. If you are having problems connecting your Soundbar to your TV I would suggest troubleshooting through the instruction pamphlet or look up your specific TV instruction pamphlet or on YouTube. After you find it you will realize it was the easiest solution. We live in a top unit apartment so we are happy with our new Soundbar. The bass is loud enough but not too loud to disturb our neighbors below. We highly recommend!
