    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.

    It's better than the TV speakers but I'm not overly impressed with the difference. I wouldn't purchase again and almost returned it.

    Soundbar heated up and blinked white lights right out of the box. Product never worked. Unfortunately, I didn't open the product until my current soundbar died, and I hadn't purchased the extended service, so I was unable to return it.

    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.

    The sound cuts out from time to time...not sure if issue with TV, Bose Sound or Cable. Never had this issue with any other TV (that are hooked up to cable).

    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.

    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.
