    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!

    I bought this Bose TV speaker and it’s amazing. Very easy to use and the quality of the sound is crazy good. It’s a easy set up and fast to listen to. If you are text savvy or a new beginner the speaker is definitely for you. I am extremely pleased from The way it looks to the sounds that come out of it every day is exciting to sit down and just listen.

    4TH SOUNDBAR PURCHASED

    I purchased 4 Boss sound bars in total. Two for my own personal use and two as gifts. This latest purchased is much improved from the other three. The price is the same but the design of the bar and remote has a better look. The sound bar is a good option for people who have small rooms or attached homes because the sound is loud enough without annoying others. Before the sound bar was installed the regular tv speakers have a hollow sound and the speaker magnifies the sound. it has Bluetooth capabilities so you can listen to music from you phone or other device. My only wish would be to have the ability to see a menu on the tv instead of blindly making sound adjustments from the remote. Although the new remote is much improved. Overall for the price I'm happy.

      Hey Tracy!
      I'm so glad to hear that you like the improvements we have made to our Soundbars!
      Just so you are aware, sound adjustments on the soundbar are followed by light flashes on the soundbar to make you aware of the changes that have been made.
      Thanks!

    Have to admit. I wanted to buy the Sonos Arc. It at this time didn’t want to spent $700 on it due to living arrangements till my house is built. Meanwhile After reading between the cheaper Sonos and Bose I tried my luck and bought the Bose. I chiseled Bose due to how small and slim the sound bar is. Easy to connect and fits perfect under my TV. The sound is great for what it is. Not like the Sonos but again this was just a quick inexpensive good sounding sound bar. The bass is acceptable. Will not shake your house but does but we’ll balanced sound. After I move I will continue to use this in a separate room but not for main one. That’s where Sonos comes in.

    Awesome upgrade from the stock tv speakers at a fair price. We can switch to dialogue mode at night when kids have gone to bed and can hear both action scenes and dialogue. Love the fact that i can connect my phone via bluetooth and stream music as well. Worth the price.

    This bar has good sound. It however has no physical controls on the bar itself so the f you misplace the remote there is no way to control it. It has multiple kinds of signal input thus making very versátil.

    This sound bar was a replacement for one that "died" in our bedroom. I love its sleek design because it doesn't take up much room. It still provides great sound for our room. Much better than the TV's sound!

    Mind Blown! (Just added a Bose Base Module 500)

    I love to experience good sound. I am use to a Martin Logan system, however, when I bought a very small RV I needed something better than the speakers that came with the trailer. Based solely on the reviews, I decided that I would buy a Bose TV Monitor. Installation was really simple. The first thing I noticed was I could hear all of the dialogue on a show where there was primarily speaking. The dialogue feature cuts back the base and is programed to boost frequencies in the speaking range. I do use this setting for some TV shows but not so much on music or movies. The remote allows the feature to be turned on or off. (Excellent!) The sound bar's performance in speaking shows excited me as it was so clear, but when it came to listening to music or movies, I wanted more punch. Even turning off the dialogue feature and increasing the bass level was not enough to make movies "Pop" with lows. I looked for reviews where people added a base module, but I guess this so new of a system that this setup has not been done often. I added the Bose Bass Module 500 with the Bose Bass Module cable to the Bose TV Speaker, (Required for this setup) and my mind is simply blown! I was simply amazed by the sound, highs, mids, lows, this sound bar is great on its own, but the sound is lifted to a whole new level when paired with a base module. The Sound Bar has a BASS input on the remote where you can control the bass either made by the system or the Bass Module if one is installed. (Really Nice) This is a great sound bar, especially for small rooms or places like an RV. On its own it is worth the purchase. Add a Base Module, and the sound from movies will rock. Its not an Atmos system, but in smaller rooms it would be hard to enjoy that type of setup anyway. I really recommend this sound bar. It is better than any speaker that is built into a TV. I think it is better than many more expensive sound bars even though it may not have features, the sound is incredible and makes this sound bar a serious contender in this product field. If you are an audiophile and you need more base, look at the Bass Module 500 with Bose Bass Module Cable. I was simply blown a way.

    Great Sound Quality with an Occasional Connection

    I have been very impressed with the sound quality of this Bose soundbar. The audio is clear, rich, and makes movies, TV shows, and music much more enjoyable. Voices come through clearly, and the overall sound feels balanced and powerful for its size. One drawback I have noticed is that after the soundbar loses its connection to the TV, it can sometimes be difficult to reconnect. It usually works again after some troubleshooting, but the process is not always seamless. Despite this occasional issue, the sound performance and overall quality make this a solid product, and I am still happy with it overall.

    We bought this to add a little more sound to the small tv for the workout room. Set up was easy and it looks great. Only thing I kinda wish is a little more bass with it. But for the price and size it’s a great little center speaker.

    My family uses this speaker in our family room and the bass is great. Max volume is insanely loud. Very high sound quality for movies and TV. Only problem that I have once in a blue moon is that sometimes when I turn on my TV, the speaker doesn't turn on with it. So, you have to turn TV back off and then turn it back on, then it'll work.

    We had an older verision and this upgrade works better at all levels - easy set-up, new features, and a great sound (as always). I really like the "Dialogue Mode" that provides clear sound for talking and dialogue during shows and movies. Great bass! This is a great value for the product you received. Enjoy some great sound!

Its Bluetooth functionality allows seamless wireless streaming from various devices, adding versatility to your setup.

However, for those prioritizing convenience, clarity, and quality in a sleek design, the Bose TV Speaker is an excellent choice.

    This soundbar gives excellent audio while occupying very little space. It has been a good improvement over the TV speakers and a reasonable substitute for the old amplifier and speakers we had to give up because of space limitations. Installation instructions are sketchy, but we found additional support online.

    Excellent Soundbar – Big Sound in a Sleek Design This soundbar completely transformed my TV and music experience. The sound is clear, rich, and powerful, with deep bass that really brings movies, shows, and music to life without overwhelming dialogue. Voices are crisp, action scenes feel immersive, and even at higher volumes there’s no distortion. Setup was quick and easy, and it connected seamlessly to my TV and other devices. I also love the sleek, modern design—it looks great in any room and doesn’t take up much space. Overall, this soundbar offers outstanding performance for the price and is a huge upgrade from built-in TV speakers. Highly recommend!

    Got this to go with my new 49" Sony, and it fits perfectly underneath and in front. Smaller than it's predecessor, with a fuller sound that is typically Bose. Great feature, too, that enhances dialogue, and it really works! Also love the bluetooth so we can play some tunes, with decent sound for the music. You can, apparently, add a subwoofer; however, the pricing on that is prohibitive in my opinion and the bass, although not amazing, is quite adequate from the unit itself and I found no reason to spend the extra monies. Very highly recommended.
