Enhancing TV Audio with Elegance
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As an audiophile and a fan of minimalist design, I was drawn to the Bose TV Speaker Bluetooth Soundbar. Right out of the box, its sleek, elegant design and compact size impressed me, blending seamlessly with my home décor without overpowering the space.

Quality Sound Investment!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved that this speaker was so easy to set up. Perfect for my decor and the balance of lows and highs is unmatched. The fact that it turns on when my TV is activated is so cool and that it pairs very well with my phone when I enter the room to broadcast onto the TV. Love the smaller size too.

4TH SOUNDBAR PURCHASED
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased 4 Boss sound bars in total. Two for my own personal use and two as gifts. This latest purchased is much improved from the other three. The price is the same but the design of the bar and remote has a better look. The sound bar is a good option for people who have small rooms or attached homes because the sound is loud enough without annoying others. Before the sound bar was installed the regular tv speakers have a hollow sound and the speaker magnifies the sound. it has Bluetooth capabilities so you can listen to music from you phone or other device. My only wish would be to have the ability to see a menu on the tv instead of blindly making sound adjustments from the remote. Although the new remote is much improved. Overall for the price I'm happy.

Posted .Hey Tracy!
I'm so glad to hear that you like the improvements we have made to our Soundbars!
Just so you are aware, sound adjustments on the soundbar are followed by light flashes on the soundbar to make you aware of the changes that have been made.
Thanks!

Just what I was looking for!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although I’ve only been using it for a couple days, I’m already so in love with it. I was looking for a soundbar that would enhance my TV experience in my bedroom as well as a good bluetooth sound system to listen to music. I was very impressed by the bass and the sound this little machine can produce. So easy to set up, literally 3 steps! Very sleek design and fits perfect under my TV. I’ve purchased headphones and speakers from Bose in the past and have never been disappointed. If you’re looking for more bass heavy sound or using this for a bigger room, I would recommend getting a subwoofer to accompany it. It’s perfect for what I wanted!

Love this TV soundbar!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this to go with my new 49" Sony, and it fits perfectly underneath and in front. Smaller than it's predecessor, with a fuller sound that is typically Bose. Great feature, too, that enhances dialogue, and it really works! Also love the bluetooth so we can play some tunes, with decent sound for the music. You can, apparently, add a subwoofer; however, the pricing on that is prohibitive in my opinion and the bass, although not amazing, is quite adequate from the unit itself and I found no reason to spend the extra monies. Very highly recommended.

Better sound really helps improve TV watching
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Bose TV Speaker dramatically improves the sound from my TV. Speech and mid frequencies are much easier to hear and discern. With the built-in speakers speech was sometimes indistinguishable and I had to increase the volume to occasional uncomfortable levels. There is now bass and some rumble where there was previously none. The highs are also improved from the built-in TV speakers, there is some sparkle and increased clarity there as well. This improvement is noticed most dramatically when watching movies or concerts, but regular everyday, casual watching benefits as well. Once you get use to the better sound it is difficult to go without a soundbar for your television. Setup was easy and straight-forward, I tried both optical and HDMI-ARC connections and settled with HDMI-ARC due to preferring the volume control integration with the original TV remote. The speakers are thin and blend in well with the television and stand.

Great Piece of Hardware
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've enjoyed using the new Bose TV speaker. It's a nice size as to not take up too much space, discrete enough to not clash with any decor and works supremely well. Features that I really like are the bass control to really dial a nice level of base to fit what's being played or watched. Additionally, I enjoy the feature that boosts dialogue to make it easier to decipher. Overall, it's a great piece of tech and will be enjoying it for years to come.

Quality that we expect from Bose
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar gives excellent audio while occupying very little space. It has been a good improvement over the TV speakers and a reasonable substitute for the old amplifier and speakers we had to give up because of space limitations. Installation instructions are sketchy, but we found additional support online.

Bose-TV Speaker Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Bose Soundbar for our TV that has a speaker rattle. The size of the soundbar is good and fits easily in front of the TV base. With the TV speaker turned off, the Bose unit works well. The Dialog switch is nice for programs with a lot of dialog, as it boosts the treble for clearer speech. The normal setting has more bass which is good for movie soundtracks. The one thing I don't like is that you can set it to turn on with your TV but you can't set it to turn off with your TV, which makes no sense. You have to remember to turn it off separately from your TV. Bose needs to change this. Otherwise, I am happy with its performance.

A good speaker option for a regular sized room.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good TV speaker for our regular sized room. It’s easy to set up and use. The sound is full and clear. You could also use the speaker in an office or den connected to a Wi-Fi source, like a smart phone, a computer or a pad. The remote is rather small and the symbols are a bit hard to see, but it’s easy to use. There’s a button to connect with your TV and another for a Wi-Fi source. The speaker can be connected to your TV with either the supplied optical cord or with an HDMI cable.

Better than other reviews say
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a simple, small speaker; this does pack a decent punch. While this will never compete with a home theater setup, or even a standard 2.1 setup; it does elevate the TV speakers while also adding in some bass. Its small size makes it easy to place anywhere, mine is under my TV (which is on the standard legs that came with the TV, not wall mounted). I would recommend this for someone who wants better sound quality than the TV speakers provides, but doesn't want to deal with the hassle of a full A/V Receiver setup. I would not go in expecting this to sound like a movie theater, as you will be disappointed. Well worth the money and I strongly recommend for anyone who is not happy with just the TV speakers.

Basic bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fine. That’s it, just fine. It is better sound than the TV but it’s not compatible with the app and therefore can’t be linked with surround speakers or a bass module. Easy to install and use.
