    Dynamic sound and design for the price. I added this speaker to my Bose collection and I’m glad I did. Easy setup and pairs to my television with ease.

    Sound bar is great and just what I wanted for my room. I have a larger jbl with a subwoofer and I didn’t want something that loud. This enhances the sound and definitely gives you a deeper appreciation for the shows and movies you are watching.

    Excellent sound for such a small footprint. I use it hooked to an XBox. I am hearing sounds that I did not know were in the game. Sale price helped too.

    The Bose TV Speaker Soundar has really improved the sound of my TV. Was very easy to install. I have it set up so it will power on whenever I turn my TV on. Purchased when on sell which made it even better!

    What a difference this sound bar makes! Watching television had become frustrating when we could not understand dialogue over the music. Wish we had purchased it sooner!

    Average Bang-for-the-Buck

    In a vacuum, this speaker is good. However, for $279, it's only average. It definitely improves vocals and has a small bit of thump when bass is all the way to the max, but at the price, there are better options, unless of course you NEED the Bose ecosystem. That being said, for a little more ($449), the Sonos Beam Gen 2 absolutely blows this out of the water and is better in every category; the Sonos Beam Gen 2 is sufficient as a standalone unit and pumps out enough rumbling bass for most. If you have the cheddar to spend on a $279 soundbar, you likely can fork over $170 more for a vastly superior product.

    Bought this to improve sound quality of television and was concerned would have to add yet another remote to the ensemble being used for TV, but with the optical cord very easy install and sound increases through the TV remote so no extra remote needed. Very easy and much improved sound.

    The older Bose soundbar died so I replaced it with this smaller, lighter model. It works great and has better sound than the old one. I am pleased with my purchase.

    It’s a decent Bluetooth speaker. It connects easily to a TV. Don’t be fooled into thinking that it’s part of the Bose family of smart speakers though. It’s the poor relation. It comes with an optical cable, but you’re better off using an HDMI cable – which is not included.

    Great sound bar. Initially I thought the sound was terrible until reading about how you can change the setting for the bass to it. Now all the sound I’m used to from Bose really made all the shows and music sound great.

    Needed a sound bar for my tv and decided to look at mid range priced sound bars and came across this one, the sound is great having some issue trying to control the sound bar from tv remote since it shows the two are connected but probably user error, besides that everything else is great
