    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.

    Omg! Almost 2 years ago, my Samsung sound bar died. Fast forward and I was having problems with my Sony soundbar for the 3rd time. Started looking and saw this on sale. 30 seconds I had it installed. Then paired to my phone and now I'm listening to Sirius and watching TV. Love the quality and the ease of use.

    Bought this for my 14 year old daughter’s bedroom tv. For this purpose it’s really good sound. It’s clear, and crisp. For being a small Soundbar without a subwoofer (you can add on) it has good bass. She can play music from her iPhone with any music app. Movies, tv shows, music all sound very good. The size is perfect for a teenager’s bedroom. It’s not too long, it’s not too tall, it really is a good size for a small bedroom. The remote is good quality, simple and maybe a bit small for some. Negatives are not major, but more annoying. There’s no way to know the volume because there’s just two led lights. There’s a bass boost button, but there’s no way to know when it’s on or off. My daughter’s tv is Dolby ATMOS ready, unfortunately Bose doesn’t work with ATMOS. Basically that’s a feature the tv offers but with Bose you can’t utilize it.

    Reviewed several products, but settled on the Bose. I’ve been impressed with their product quality and performance. Their customer support has always been spot on. This was for my parents, as their TV speakers were less than stellar. The hookup was simple and had it going in a couple minutes. Again this was for my 80 year old parents, so simple is better. They instantly said “wow”, that is amazing. Audio from people speaking was more clear, but the music channels sounded great as well. The hardest part was pairing it to their cable TV providers remote. A few minutes with them and it was setup, so they have one remote. You can pair your phone to it as well via Bluetooth to play music. It’s pretty compact and looks good. It’s not the cheapest product, but I believe its the best combination of value and performance.

    The Bose - TV Speaker Bluetooth Soundbar works for our needs as expected. This is our second Soundbar, as we already have one in the living room. We placed this new unit in our bedroom. We initially purchased this after hearing the sound quality at my parents house. We were sold! Pros Our current flatscreen tv’s have uneven sound and in certain streaming apps the commercials are significantly louder than the movie or tv show we are watching. This Soundbar has an amazingly even transition of sound from commercial to streaming program so we do not have to mute and unmute every commercial break and on Hulu it was a pain to do so. We also had an issue with inconsistencies in the transition between the bass and speech, but once we hooked up the new Bose TV Speaker that issue went away. We can clearly hear the actors even the soft spoken moments as well as great bass during action scenes. CONS I will begin by saying if you are looking for a movie theater experience in your house with surround sound quality this will probably not be for you. This is a Soundbar and does not come with extra speakers to surround your seating area, however, I think they do have options for add on’s or Soundbars that do come with extra speaker set ups. The only con I can think of would be something I feel like most people would get frustrated with when setting up their speaker. With our first speaker we hooked it up to our TCL android TV and we jumped through hoops to find the correct setup selection to initiate the connection. I am pretty sure this was a TV issue not a Soundbar issue. On our Roku Tv the only issue we had connecting was making sure we had the correct HDMI ARC cord. They provide a different cord (Optical) but if you want an HDMI connection you have to purchase a cord specifically for the ARC connection. We tried two different HDMI cords before it worked. The Optical connection works but if I am correct it does not allow for the Soundbar to be controlled by your remote. If you are having problems connecting your Soundbar to your TV I would suggest troubleshooting through the instruction pamphlet or look up your specific TV instruction pamphlet or on YouTube. After you find it you will realize it was the easiest solution. We live in a top unit apartment so we are happy with our new Soundbar. The bass is loud enough but not too loud to disturb our neighbors below. We highly recommend!

    The Bose TV Speaker Bluetooth Soundbar is a compact yet powerful solution for enhancing your home audio experience.

Its Bluetooth functionality allows seamless wireless streaming from various devices, adding versatility to your setup. The soundbar is easy to install, with straightforward connections and a user-friendly remote for quick adjustments. While its size is ideal for smaller spaces, it might not provide the depth some audiophiles seek for larger setups. However, for those prioritizing convenience, clarity, and quality in a sleek design, the Bose TV Speaker is an excellent choice.

    Sounds great, looks great everything you want from a sound bar. Would recommend for sure. Instillation was easy as well. It looks very sleek on the wall and takes up little space for such a great sound. Bose has always had good sound and quality! Their durability has never been an issue.

    Have to admit. I wanted to buy the Sonos Arc. It at this time didn’t want to spent $700 on it due to living arrangements till my house is built. Meanwhile After reading between the cheaper Sonos and Bose I tried my luck and bought the Bose. I chiseled Bose due to how small and slim the sound bar is. Easy to connect and fits perfect under my TV. The sound is great for what it is. Not like the Sonos but again this was just a quick inexpensive good sounding sound bar. The bass is acceptable. Will not shake your house but does but we’ll balanced sound. After I move I will continue to use this in a separate room but not for main one. That’s where Sonos comes in.

    My family uses this speaker in our family room and the bass is great. Max volume is insanely loud. Very high sound quality for movies and TV. Only problem that I have once in a blue moon is that sometimes when I turn on my TV, the speaker doesn't turn on with it. So, you have to turn TV back off and then turn it back on, then it'll work.

    We had an older verision and this upgrade works better at all levels - easy set-up, new features, and a great sound (as always). I really like the "Dialogue Mode" that provides clear sound for talking and dialogue during shows and movies. Great bass! This is a great value for the product you received. Enjoy some great sound!

    Mind Blown! (Just added a Bose Base Module 500)

    I love to experience good sound. I am use to a Martin Logan system, however, when I bought a very small RV I needed something better than the speakers that came with the trailer. Based solely on the reviews, I decided that I would buy a Bose TV Monitor. Installation was really simple. The first thing I noticed was I could hear all of the dialogue on a show where there was primarily speaking. The dialogue feature cuts back the base and is programed to boost frequencies in the speaking range. I do use this setting for some TV shows but not so much on music or movies. The remote allows the feature to be turned on or off. (Excellent!) The sound bar's performance in speaking shows excited me as it was so clear, but when it came to listening to music or movies, I wanted more punch. Even turning off the dialogue feature and increasing the bass level was not enough to make movies "Pop" with lows. I looked for reviews where people added a base module, but I guess this so new of a system that this setup has not been done often. I added the Bose Bass Module 500 with the Bose Bass Module cable to the Bose TV Speaker, (Required for this setup) and my mind is simply blown! I was simply amazed by the sound, highs, mids, lows, this sound bar is great on its own, but the sound is lifted to a whole new level when paired with a base module. The Sound Bar has a BASS input on the remote where you can control the bass either made by the system or the Bass Module if one is installed. (Really Nice) This is a great sound bar, especially for small rooms or places like an RV. On its own it is worth the purchase. Add a Base Module, and the sound from movies will rock. Its not an Atmos system, but in smaller rooms it would be hard to enjoy that type of setup anyway. I really recommend this sound bar. It is better than any speaker that is built into a TV. I think it is better than many more expensive sound bars even though it may not have features, the sound is incredible and makes this sound bar a serious contender in this product field. If you are an audiophile and you need more base, look at the Bass Module 500 with Bose Bass Module Cable. I was simply blown a way.

    The sound quality is amazing (I mean, it's Bose). The bass always surprises me, even though it does not have a subwoofer. It's pretty small and light, too, so it's easy to install on a floating shelf. I like mine enough that I bought a second one for my other TV.
