    Very reasonable price for a good Bose speaker. Only drawback is it does not connect to the Bose app on your phone.

    I was in Best Buy looking for a Apple HomePod but came across this. When the sales associate informed me I can connect other devices via Bluetooth. I was sold and once I got it home it was the perfect addition to my entertainment center

    Great sound for the money. Makes watching tv more enjoyable now that can hear sounds that the tv wouldn't pick up until volume was high.

    A must for flat panels!

    An absolute must for flat-panel TV’s whose internal speakers are notoriously inadequate. Even without the optional bass module, there’s plenty of low-end to go around.

    Great picture quality and the sound bar I bought sounds great. Geek squad did a great job of mounting the TV as well and did it efficiently and professionally. They even helped me with understanding the remote before leaving.

    Speaker sounds very good but...

    This speaker has the typically good Bose sound. However, we connected our laptop via bluetooth (sounded great) but now when we power up the laptop, this speaker turns on and connects to it without any prompting by us. If the tv is on using this speaker, and the laptop gets turned on, it switches from tv mode to bluetooth mode by itself, leaving no audio for the tv. We have to get the bose remote and press the tv button to get it back. So, we have to turn off the bluetooth feature on our laptop so this does not happen. We shouldn't have to do this. Bose stated no fix for this product yet. Our other bose speaker (last year's model) turns on bluetooth only when we prompt it to do so. Otherwise, it would have gotten higher ratings.

      Hello,

      It's great to hear that you're impressed by the exceptional Bose audio quality for the speaker. The TV speaker features Bluetooth, which means that it is visible to other devices nearby that have previously successfully connected.

      From the details that you've provided, your PC is connecting to the speaker when it powers up. This is due to your computer, not the soundbar. As noted, to disable your PC from triggering this, disable Bluetooth on your PC. Please contact the manufacturer of your computer for additional assistance.

    Works great, sounds great. Boosts dialog audio, so you can actually hear what is being said instead of just hearing the "background" noise.

    I am a proud owner of a Bose Sound Wave and am so satisfied with the quality of sound. I took this into consideration when shopping for a sound bar. I am just as satisfied with my choice of my Bose sound bar.

    It's a good sound bar for the price range. Compact size, so it fits under smaller TVs too. It's one of the few that don't include a subwoofer (in my case I didn't want the subwoofer)

    Good for bedroom viewing but for the living room, I would get something more robust. It lacks in chaotic scenes unfortunately

    We replaced a dying LG soundbar that we thought sounded good. When we bought a new tv we decided to upgrade to the Bose. We can actually hear clear speaking while watching tv! Worth it!

    Bose sound bar sounds so good makes the tv speakers worthless. Bose is the top of the line and for the price at Best Buy there is no question to not buy it.

    Perfect for condo living. The sound bar puts out enough bass where I feel I do not need the subwoofer upgrade and do not upset my neighbors.

    Worked for a little over a year and then....

    I bought this a little over a year ago and loved it. It worked well for enhancing the dialog on my bedroom TV and had the bonus of working as a bluetooth speaker. Then, one day, the sound started dropping in and out, regardless of whether I was inputting from optical or from bluetooth. The speaker appeared to be dropping connection, reconnecting, dropping connection, reconnecting. The lights would fade in 3 times, then then TV light would light up, then all the lights would turn off and the sound would drop. Attempted to update the firmware but the speaker never acknowledged the USB drive in the Service port (per directions from Bose). I did a search on reddit and apparently this is common for this device. I bought Bose because I liked their quality and sound, but this thing was a big disappointment. Buyer beware. :(
