This is a powerhouse of a soundbar. Don’t let its size fool you. At about 1/3 less size than other bars, and without a separate subwoofer, the bass is thick and satisfying and the treble is clean and clear. The ability to turn on the dialogue option that boosts the highs for better clarity of voices in times where movies may have them a little muddled is nice and not jarring. Controls are simple and hookup is a breeze. I guess if there’s one complaint I may have it’s that there’s supposed to be a function that allows the soundbar to automatically turn on when sound is identified but I haven’t figured that out yet. It’s certainly not a deal breaker and it has to be one of the best sound bars I’ve had to date!

Easy to connect and great sound. (I’m adding this additional text to meet the minimum character requirement.)

This Bose TV Speaker is was very easy to set up! One end of the cable to TV and the other end to the speaker. Turn on the speaker and it was ready to go! The sound is excellent! Highly recommend!

This is a great sound bar, especially if someone in your home has hearing loss. My husband can hear what is said on his favorite shows without the sound being uncomfortably loud for the rest of the family. Easy hookup to TV and connects to cell phone via blue tooth for great sound with our favorite music. I had to buy a second one for my parents. This speaker is well worth the money.

Adds much depth to our viewing experience. Nice size.

Awesome ….great sound, easy install , great bass for size. Zero complaints!!! A must buy!!

Maybe life-changing is a little overly dramatic, but let me explain. The Bose TV speaker as excellent sound. It's crisp and clear with decent Bass. Definitely a huge improvement over TV speakers. But it also has a feature called Dialogue mode which has been life-changing for my TV experience. I have some hearing loss due to stupidity and with Dialogue mode I'm able to clearly understand speech. It helps a lot when you're watching something and you can understand what's being said. So, regardless of the great Sound the Bose TV speaker provides, it would be worth every penny for me if all it had was Dialogue mode.

Great sound, easy to set up and great price. Would recommend

Great deal!! I purchased an open-box Bose TV speaker Bluetooth soundbar for about half the price and it looks and sounds like new!! definitely a deal. The sound quality is amazing. It was super easy to set up too

This sound bar is absolutely perfect if you want great sound but do not want the giant surround sound package for ultimate sound. Like all of Bose products, the sound is impeccable that no other brand comes close to. This compact sound bar has great bass without the amplifier. In fact I love this sound bar so much I own 2, with one connected to my tv and one in my garage for great sound when I work.

Great speaker!! Sounds great and pretty loud even without base

Excellent sound bar, especially at this price. The bass is surprisingly good from small unit.

I have used Bose equipment for a long time. I really enjoy the sound of the product. It give me great quality is wonderful. And the price of the product was within the price i was looking for.

Wow, I had no idea that I needed a speaker for my TV. I did the comparison and with the convenience of how this integrates with my TV I would never want to go back. Sounds from voices, music, or movies just sound better. I can control the volume using the HDMI ARC connection. The optical cable sounds just as good but unless it is being used with a receiver then the volume would require an extra remote. Great job and a great speaker.

Man oh man! This sound bar is just amazingly awesome. We are simply blown away at the quality of sound you get! We have a fan running and a pig snoring almost constantly. This sound bar makes it so we can hear every footstep, leaf rustle, breeze blowing, pin dropping etc! I don't know how we have gone this long without this sound bar in our lives. So thankful for this little beauty!

Outstanding sound! The bass volume is incredible.

The best sound bar I ever had.! Clear and involved sound.

The audio is probably the best I've tried in it's price class, which is why I've decided to keep it (for now) despite some annoying issues. I bought, returned/exchanged this unit twice in 2 days only to determine that the problem appears to be a compatibility issue between the Bose unit and my TCL TV (bought from Best Buy several months earlier). After actually spending hours on the phone with both manufacturer's tech support the conclusion is my problem is the eARC HDMI handshake on power up. Despite proper setup/installation the Bose unit will not be recognized by the TCL TV until the Bose is powered off and back on again. As a tech in a different industry I know the technological finger pointing that can ensue where each manufacturer blames the other. The bottom line is the TCL fired right up and worked flawlessly with a 9 year old Samsung soundbar set up through eARC. So the end result is that the Bose and TCL seem to play nice for now after a second power cycle by the Bose. The manual is lacking some info, specifically the function of Auto Detect by pressing and holding the power button for 5 seconds until tones are heard. I see no reference to the descending tones indicating the function is off/ascending on. There are no controls on the unit itself. All functions are performed by a conspicuously budget looking remote, which makes me wonder what the recourse is if it fails. I find the toggle between normal and dialogue mode creates some pyscho-acoustic dilemmas. The latter is louder and more mid/upper mid-range focused which makes it easier to listen to say, the news. But sometimes it also seems to benefit music streamed via bluetooth. This isn't a flaw as much as it is simply an oddity. The remote has a bass button that you can either boost or cut, but no other EQ control. Fine unit overall, just wish it operated the way it's supposed to with my TCL TV.

This Bose TV Speaker died by itself after a power outage. Only the left red light flashes. Researched the problem it is the voltage regulator on the main circuit board. Local Tech said it was too expensive to repair. Called Bose tech to see if they knew anything. They said it was dead, but their CSR department offered to sell me a new one for $104. Good deal, right? Wrong. They did not tell me I needed to ship the old one back to them via UPS. I do not have a box this big and UPS sells boxes for around $40. All this happened over 30 days ago because their CSR got my email wrong. What a waste of time. I bought a small $20 bluetooth speaker which I can put next to me while watching TV. Less ambient noise, good sound, not subject to power outage failure.

Unboxing and setup of the Bose TV Speaker is super easy, and only takes a couple of minutes. After hooking this up to my TV via optical audio I immediately noticed the sound to be very lacking compared to my TV Speakers. I tested all of the available modes and settings for extra bass and it just didn't hit the mark for me. Watching movies is definitely better than using it for basic TV (News, etc), but it still lacked the full immersive sound I am used to with a Bose product. The saving grace for this speaker is the bluetooth music streaming. Listening to many genres of music the bass was very noticeable and clear, and the sound filled the room perfectly. If you are looking for something to play music then I would pick this up right away, if your primary focus is a soundbar for your TV I would exercise caution.
