    This is by far the worst sounding soundbar I have EVER heard. My LG TV has superior sound compared to this overpriced piece of junk!

    Day 16 of owning…speaker got extremely hot, overheated and then shut down. This is a known issue. Read reviews! Can’t return it now due to Best Buy’s “15 day return policy”.

    The sound bar does exactly what it says it will do. Positioned it directly under the TV and it really works well by providing quality surround sound.

    I was excited to buy this soundbar since it was a Bose but after using it. I am not very impressed. Sound quality is ok but my Samsung sound bar is much better and both cost 199.99 on sale. The biggest a disappointment is that it will not sync to my tv even though I’m using the HDMI ARC.

    Love sound but keeps shutting off requiring turning it back on as you change channels. I have Geek squad coverage and will be returning to store for fix.

    I bought this Bose TV Speaker as well as the Bass Module 500 subwoofer as a house Christmas present, but set up up the week to test it, and I was highly disappointed. The soundbar alone was fairly week. The dialog was fine, but even tweaking the settings and connecting the subwoofer didn't really add much. This was in a master bedroom, not a giant room by any means. I still have my old Bose 201 speakers from way back when, and they are solid. This particular soundbar setup just isn't up to par.

    How can you ever go wrong with Bose? It's not top of line, but definitely improves the sound quality over the TV speakers in an ultr-thin TV,

    Lasted a couple months and it started overheating even when not in use. Being hot, the unit did not turn on. Sounded amazing when working but major flaw on temperature design.
