Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wanted a smaller soundbar and was initially happy with the Bose TV Speaker but there are 2 significant problems I encountered. The first is the auto gain that comes out during quieter sections of movies or music. This is an audible hiss where the speaker is trying to amplify the background noise (when there is none) so it sounds like static or wind. Thought this was the source initially but encountered it with other programs and confirmed the problem on the Bose website. If there is a quiet passage you will hear it. The second is the remote learning function of the TV Speaker. This is a function that will let you use your normal tv or cable remote to control the volume of the Bose after a going through a simple programming process. I set this up and thought it worked fine until I touched other buttons on my cable remote (program guide, channel up or down, etc.) and the volume of the TV Speaker changed! The volume would randomly go up, down or mute whenever I would try to change a channel which was very frustrating to say the least! So, since the remote learning function obviously was a bust, the only way to normally solve it is to reset the TV Speaker so it erases the code. Problem is, I called Bose and although the person confirmed this is a known issue, there is currently no way to erase the codes and reset the speaker! Yes, you can unplug it for a while for a soft reset but it does not clear the codes. I even tried overriding the original code by programming 2 other remotes (from 2 other manufacturers) but the problem persisted. Since I was on the last day of my 15 day return window, I made the decision to return the TV Speaker. Bose needs to address both of these known issues with a firmware update and it just hasn't happened yet. You pay a premium for their products so you expect them to perform as such. I personally like the brand and currently have other products from Bose but I was not going to wait to see if and when these known problems would be rectified. It was just too expensive for that.

Great product nice sound very much like this product

Simple speaker that has a listening feature to turn itself on in the event you don’t use the HDMI ARC port. Would’ve liked hanger screw holes on the back though.

Bose never fails! This is my first sound bar but my second product from Bose and they don’t miss. Sounds amazing and fills up the room with high quality sound.

Excellent soundbar in a compact, quality package. The sound coming from this system is crisp and clear. It has nice balance and range. Potential buyers should note that it doesn't have the deepest of base, but it still puts out in that department. I personally enjoy the balance as you still get rich base without it overpowering the treble aspect of shows, movies, etc. There is less up and down on the volume when switching from quiet dialog based scenes to booming action. The only real negative that I have with the bar is that though I love the minimalist, sleek design, I do wish there were a small, inconspicuous display at least. As is, the only way to see volume level on the device is when a small light blinks each time a remote click turns it up or down. But, this is more of a nitpick than a real problem.

This TV sound bar sounds great and was real easy to set up. Very happy.

Excellent Bose - TV Speaker Bluetooth Sound Bar - Black

Bose’s sound quality always has no doubt. It is turning my TV into a home theater. We enjoyed the sound quality. We can easily switch to Bluetooth and connect to the phone when we need to listen from the phone.

Great sound and easy set up. My dad bought one for himself as well after hearing mine.

I love this sound bar...it is actually my 1st sound bar and I love it!! Not in the way and gives out quality sound....plus the Bluetooth option for my devices really makes this perfect for me!!

I needed a front speaker to hear dialogue during heavy music or sound effects, and also enhance overall audio, pros: easy to connect, I did it via optical cable since I didn’t have and spare hdmi cable available, sound did improve over the tv speaker, dialogue was easier to hear, looks great, nice size dimensions Cons: audio dialogue button doesn’t really do much but make the sound muddy and indistinct, also makes the sound tin ee. Not many adjustments available to fine tune the highs and low frequencies, bass boost doesn’t sound like any difference, but that’s why you purchase a sub woofer, Overall, kind of pricey for what you get, I was fortunate enough to have store credit so it only cost me a fraction of retail. Would I make this purchase again, not sure, to be honest.

No complaints here. Works great, easy to plug in and just play.

Great product. The sound is just as good as high end speakers, and the size is smaller.

The quality and sound is excellent. My wife listens to music frequently and with the bluetooth capability, it was easy to connect. It was a Christmas present that she really liked and frequently uses.

The Bose sound bar amplifies and makes the sound much clearer on my big screen TV. It has a small profile too which I like.

It's amazing, clear sound! Real immersive feeling.

Set up was easy and it is so much better than the TV speaker. Now the person watching the TV hears the sound instead of everyone else in the house. Very happy.

Quality for this product is amazing, BOSE never ends to surprise me, the area is so big in the room and you can still hear perfect from every angle, I personally don't like feeling like my ears are going to fall with sorround speakers, so this is the perfect choice for quality on sound, it also depends on how you conect it but even bluetooth sounds pretty nice.

For a nicer but relatively inexpensive soundbar this thing gets the jobs done. Really nice clear sound, good lows. Sounds great with movies, shows, and games.

Great sound bar and great bass i also own the bose 800 model.
