Customer Ratings & Reviews

I absolutely love my Bose soundbar!!! It works so good for my apartment!!! I feel as though I'm at the cinema!

Sleek and easy to use. Like that it can be tweaked to increase dialogue

I love my Bose sound bar, it looks good and the sound is amazing. Totally recommend it

This Bose TV speaker soundbar has clear voice, and great sound. I am very happy with my purchase!

Bose - TV Speaker Bluetooth Soundbar has very good sound with good base. It automatically comes on when you turn on the tv. It’s narrow enough to keep our fireplace mantle useable. The dimensions on the Best Buy description are incorrect. Almost didn’t buy it until I read another review that documented this. I bought it at a very good sale price.

Mgr. was excellant to work with. Bought open box and didn't work so came back and bought a new one not opened. Product was on sale so got cheaper deal.

This is a fantastic outdoor tv. We shopped around, compared several and finally decided in this one. Zero regrets - the picture is amazing, the entire tv is completely sealed so no water will ever seep through. The sound is a little low so we purchased a Bose sound speaker for it and now it is perfect. I highly recommend to anyone.

I love bose products. This is one of the best for you tv. Sounds great

Great addition to my living room, fits perfect under the tv.

This Bose TV Speaker delivers clear dialogue and adds just enough bass to make most content much more enjoyable compared to using only the native TV speakers. In the package are a remote, the speaker, an optical cable and a power cord. Setup is very simple. There are two LED indicators in the front for the TV and Bluetooth modes. Accepted connections are Aux (3.5mm), Bluetooth (version 4.2), Optical and HDMI ARC (from your TV if equipped). With the recommended 3.5mm cable, Bose's series of Bass Modules can be connected for even more bass via a dedicated port. In my case, I used the optical cable for my TV connection. The HDMI ARC configuration provides the ability to control the Bose TV Speaker with your actual TV speaker. The included remote control allows you to adjust bass settings, toggle between TV/Bluetooth modes and adjust the volume of the speaker. The final port on the rear is a USB for service/software updates. A great feature is the ability of the speaker to automatically “wake” upon turning on your TV. The bass delivered, as previously stated, is very gratifying and is just the right amount to keep the neighbors in apartment or even townhouse settings happy. A Dialogue mode isolates dialogue/vocals from TV or Bluetooth content for better perception; the appropriate LED is lit green when this feature is enabled. The Bluetooth setup is also very easy: for the first connection, you press the Bluetooth button (the LED pulsates blue), scan with your device for Bose TV Speaker and pair. Once connected, cellphones/tablets (and other wireless devices) are able to deliver richer sound content to fill moderately sized rooms. The speaker can store up to 8 devices through subsequent pairing processes; you will need to hold the Bluetooth button down for about two seconds to enable the pairing mode/pulsating blue LED . We have another winner from Bose. The Bose TV Speaker combines a compact formfactor (at barely 2 feet long and 2 inches tall) with the right amount of power and functionality for versatility in a myriad of applications. Saying it has exceeded my expectations sounds cliché as I have come to expect nothing less from Bose.

Great sound for being such a lot profile device. Very easy to connect and set up.

Bose has the best audio output. Satisfied customer!

The best price for the value. I also just found out you can add a Boae Subwoofer (Bose Bass Module 500 )to this one as well which the tech did not explain, so I almost bought the more expensive one model.

Our customer was very happy with this choice. The selling point was the analog aux input option because our customer had a turntable they wanted to connect to the main sound output.

A great speaker at a fair price. Dialog is so much easier to hear. TV and movies sound great! Low profile so it doesn't get in the way of remote for TV.

The speaker is compact with full spectrum of sound that prioritize on voice from center of TV without expectation of complex surround sound system. 1. Its hardware size and weight is light for who would have space limitation next to tv and light to carry. 2. Installation is simple via Optical or HDMI ARC depending on available TV input/output. Once plugged in, works straight forward. 3. The sound in overall is excellent for the purpose and size of the speaker. Big differentiator is the crispy voice from streaming programs. Tested fully watching shows and programs from YoutTube and Netflix movies and the clarity of dialog is center of positive side of the speaker. Then sound effect is not exactly surround experience, but some what spatial I would say as can feel the effect from different directions creating immersive like experience. From Netflix watching 2012 can feel effects for wave, chopper approaching to characters from different directions. Watching 6 Underground, can feel cars crushing and explosions impact. In both movies as characters start talking can perceive from center of speaker while all the effects occurs across. 4. Remote control is simple and compact without much of functionality, It consist of volume, tv, power on/off, bass, and sound mode I believe. What come short: it is combination between remote control and sound. While experiencing movie or program, and changing Bass or Sound Mode, can’t tell when and what being changed. Using Bass button, there is light that blink, but not exactly if it is decreasing or increasing for instance. Using Sound mode similarly can’t tell if it is voice centered or effect prioritization with exception of cases that can tell it via actual effect, but most of cases couldn’t. Secondly, using with Apple TV, it can’t learn the remote control of Bose TV. Seems there isn’t compatibility or need further troubleshooting to make it work after out of box. In bottom line: it is perfect for who want simple and compact speaker to replace the TV’s own speaker and still have bit more of sound effect, and can close to optimize for streaming experience.

The sound from this all in one sound bar is exquisite. I've been mulling over the idea of a sound bar for a year and I'm so glad I chose this one. Perfect size for a 65" TV.

I can’t tell you how thrilled I am with my new Bose TV speakers. I wasn’t sure what to expect because this was my first-time using speakers with our new smart television. I am shocked by how much better the clarity and quality of the sound is. The speakers were unpacked, installed and ready to go in under 10 minutes. Instructions were easy to understand, which is always appreciated. The speaker is a perfect size- I like how sleek and unobtrusive it looks under my television. The remote is easy to use, and with the touch of the bass button, you get a natural and high-quality sound. With the Bluetooth connectivity button, I can quickly and easily pair the speakers with my smart devices so that I can listen to my music list and podcasts. One of the features that I love best is the “dialogue mode” button. It’s shocking how much clearer conversations are in this mode- I never realized how much a difference this makes when watching our favorite programs. Double thumbs up from me- I have already recommended these Bose speakers to family and friends.

I've owned several different Bose speakers and headphones, but this is my first experience with one of their soundbars. I've listened to countless hours of music on Bose products, so I was curious to see how TV shows and movies would sound through Bose's new "TV Speaker" soundbar. To my delight, the soundbar is incredibly easy to set up and offers a dramatic improvement in sound quality over the built-in speakers of my bedroom TV. PROS: - Virtually anyone can set up this soundbar -- all it takes is one cable to your TV. If your TV supports it, use an HDMI cable and connect it to the soundbar and the HDMI ARC port on your TV. This will allow for the best experience as you are able to control the soundbar's volume and power with your TV's existing remote control. If your TV doesn't have an HDMI ARC port, use the included optical cable instead. - The soundbar is the perfect size for bedrooms or smaller entertainment stands. It is also the perfect height that it does not block any part of my TV screen. The soundbar is less than two feet wide and should fit nicely under nearly any TV. - There is a night-and-day different in audio quality from the soundbar compared to my TV's built-in speakers. Dialogue is clearer, bass is deeper, and music much richer. It is not overpowering -- everything just sounds crisp, clean, and plenty loud. There really isn't much of a surround sound effect -- so don't expect this to breath new life into action movies -- but this soundbar shouldn't be compared to high-end offerings from Sony or Sonos. But for smaller living rooms and bedrooms, the Bose TV Speaker delivers excellent sound for casual TV and movie watching. - The soundbar is compatible with the Bose 500 and 700 bass modules (sub-woofers) if you want to add even more bass, although these cost more than the soundbar itself and require a separate connection cable (not included). - The included remote control lets you increase bass levels and turn on Dialogue Mode for even clearer vocals. Both features work well and make a noticeable difference - especially Dialogue Mode, which really helps when watching news programs or talk shows. CONS: - HDMI ARC is the preferred way to connect the soundbar, but Bose does not provide an HDMI cable in the box. - There is a light on the front of the soundbar that illuminates when the soundbar is on. The light is small and rather dim, but I have caught my eyes looking at it several times when the room is dark. When you turn on Dialogue Mode, the light turns green, which makes it much more noticeable to me. I wish there were a way to turn off the light or set it so that it turns on only when adjusting volume. - There are no HDMI inputs on the soundbar, so you cannot plug source devices like your cable box or Apple TV directly into the soundbar. So, by using HDMI ARC, you are sacrificing one of the HDMI ports on your TV exclusively for this soundbar. If you have a lot of devices plugged into your TV, this could be an issue. - There is no apparent way to tell what volume level the soundbar is at. The light on the soundbar blinks when you adjust volume, but there's no way of knowing how many levels of adjustment there are or how far you are from max volume. - Depending on your TV, the soundbar may block the IR sensor for your TV's remote control. On my LG TV, the IR sensor is directly under the screen on the front of the TV, just behind where the soundbar sits. I have had to reach my arm a bit higher to get the remote signal to register. OVERALL: All things considered, those minor cons don't distract from the excellent sound that is produced from this small, compact soundbar. Most other soundbars in this category have the same limitations; I just wish Bose would have been a leader and found a creative way to address those issues while keeping the price down. But I expect these things won't be of concern for the majority of people looking at this soundbar. If you simply want an easy, affordable way to improve your TV viewing, it doesn't get much better than this. Recommended!

I like the dialogue enhancement capability options. Awesome for action movies.
