STAY FAR AWAY
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Horrible. Doesn’t pair - or stays paired for 2 seconds and then disconnects. Cheaper products from China are so much easier to deal with . Too big to be a door stop so I’m not sure what else to with this piece of junk.

Well priced, Bose sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This new Bose soundbar is an affordable way to get into the Bose sound club. However, do not think the entry-level price gives you entry-level quality. Instead, you get Bose sound with very high-quality materials including on the remote. The best part about this soundbar to me was the size. This soundbar is half the size of my Samsung soundbar. After trying the Bose with my television, it was clear it was better than my Samsung soundbar when I removed its Subwoofer and satellite speakers. Soundbar vs soundbar the Bose had the Samsung clearly beat. So, I decided to watch Spirited Away to get an idea of how impressive this soundbar is. The sound was incredible. If you have used a Bose product before then you know exactly what to expect from the sound. Perfect mid-levels, lows are there but not much, and clear distinct highs. The lows are made up by some really nice bass considering it's coming from an integrated subwoofer inside the soundbar. Ultimately, I decided to move this soundbar full-time to my PC. This is where I believe this soundbar shines extremely well. Thanks to its size, it fits perfectly on a small desk. When I connected via Bluetooth, Bose and Windows communicated together and set everything up instantly. I picked up the remote and pressed a button hoping it would just work. Well, it did. Every button on the remote works with Windows flawlessly. This is the perfect solution for someone who wants a small clean form factor for their PC sound. Whether you're looking for a soundbar for your TV or your PC like I ended up doing, this soundbar is excellent.

The voices sound like tin
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth it. I have and do own a lot of BOSE equipment and speakers. This is one I would not recommend. The voices sound like tin. The small speakers on the TV sounded better. I had it connected with HDMI-ARC cable. I returned after 3 days

Posted .Hello,
Sorry you were left disappointed in the voice audio of your speaker. Did you know there is a Dialogue Mode feature? Dialogue mode is available on your system to make voices more distinct and understandable. This is useful, for example, when watching a movie or show that has quieter spoken content. On the remote control, press the Dialogue mode button (lower-right) to enable or disable Dialogue mode for the current source. When enabled, the source light on the speaker glows green.
Kind regards,

Not great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible Bose Product. Very directional, you can tell is coming from under the tv and there's no stereo feel. I used to buy everything bose. Now I have Sony headphones and Sonos speaker. Bose is not the same.

Posted .Hello.
It's strange that you're not getting stereo sound, the TV speaker has two full-range drivers that are angled to deliver wide, spatial sound. To ensure the best sound from your soundbar, we would recommend you check the TV settings.
For the TV Speaker it supports these two audio formats, Dolby Digital, and PCM, so make sure you have one of those selected.

Terrible bose really
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I not sure how people who bought this sound bar and rated it high really this doesn't ever compare with sound bars that cost 75 dollars. No bass what so ever tiny sound stage tinnny sounding highs I could go on all day with this but i I won't waste anybody's time do not waste your money on this. There are much better sound bars for less money I'll be returning mine asap!!!!

Posted .Hey Sammy,
It's unusual to hear of your experience with the speaker. The TV Speaker has built-in tone controls, letting you customize your listening experience. You can increase the bass using the guide at https://bose.life/3jUnODM. While we're sorry to hear you're considering returning the speaker, the system supports both Dolby Digital and PCM 2.0 audio formats, so double-check that your TV is outputting to these formats to maximize your listening experience.

Disappointing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had low expectations as this is an inexpensive sound bar but I figured any Bose speaker will sound great regardless. This sounds like a $20 Bluetooth speaker. I returned it. I’ll wait for the Sonos Arc to come back in stock.

Comparison Between Samsung HW-F355 and Bose
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I've had a Samsung HW-F355 soundbar for 5 years now which has served me great. It came with a subwoofer too so I was certain this Bose TV speaker wasn't going to any better than my Samsung. Boy was I wrong. I previously reviewed the Bose speaker and was overall not too impressed, but after a few extra weeks of use and more TV shows, the dialogue function made it noticeably easier to hear what people were saying. I used to ask my wife "what'd she say?", disrupting her show and getting a "BE QUIET!" from her. Dialogue is so much easier to understand now that I actually ended up turning off my subtitles after 10+ years! The sound is much more crisp than my Samsung soundbar and not as muffled, and the bass was actually on par with the Samsung subwoofer, without all the extra hardware! I tested the 2 soundbars by putting them side by side and muting each soundbar individually while watching TV and streaming music to see which one was the winner. Another plus is that if you connect via HDMI ARC, your TV controller is able to control the volume on the soundbar without the need of the included Bose controller. Super convenient! The footprint is smaller, sound is cleaner, and the bass is just as strong as my Samsung soundbar. Time to move the Samsung to the guest room! PROS: -Small footprint and clean design -Crisp, clear audio -Bluetooth functionality -Dialogue mode -Strong bass -Optical cable included CONS: -No HDMI cable included
