Customer Ratings & Reviews

I could never get it to work with the HDMI or optic connections to my LG TV. It worked briefly but only using Bluetooth; then it stopped working completely. It would not show up as a Bluetooth devise on any other devices. I tried everything, followed the Bose website trouble shooting steps, got a new battery for the remote, but only could get two white flashing LEDs that no one at Bose would tell me what they meant. The number for the Bose telephone help line is difficult to find and everyone there has a heavy accent and is very difficult to understand. Their only offer was that I could ship it to them for repair. I returned it to the store.

Good sound for the entire floor of a restaurant about 2500 sqft. Bluetooth is not easily connected initially but after that works well.

overall sound OK but did not accentuate dialogue as I hoped.

Previously had Boses cube speaker hook up. Researched Soundbar system and made purchase. Sounds great. Crisp,clean, Not overpowering.

It is not as loud as I imagined it to be, but it does the job

It's proving to be very fussy with HDMI-ARC and refuses to turn on and reconnect prompt.

Bought this to go with my new Sony TV. The sound is great and the bass sounds great too.

I was not happy with the sound so I returned it back to the store.

Bought this today as open box item. The label did not say what was wrong with it, got home and it’s missing the remote. Try to set it up with the HDMI ARC anyway…didn’t work. Apparently you have to have the remote to set it up.

The sandbar works OK, but the subwoofer went out in about five years and cannot be repaired.

Either it was not compatible with our TV or the optic cable had suffered a fiasco. The sound would cutout and that was a real disappointment on my space shows. It was returned and another bar was bought.

Best Buy provides an excellent array of speakers. The Bose TV Speaker provides excellent sound and very good dialog clarity.

Absolutely love this sound bar! I have it for a TV in my bedroom and was worried it might be too loud. But works great!!

Average,nothing to get excited .That's how tv speakers should be which is not, it's a dirty business money money money that's it.Otherwise this is not a superior speakers !

I feel sad to give such a review. I could barely get it to connect and stay connected!! Didn't matter if I used the optical cable provided or supplied my own for the HDMI-Arc. The bluetooth option would not connect for 10-15 mins. I tried connecting, went into the other room, sat back on the couch, and 5 mins later....sound! I am connecting to a QN90A Neo QLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV. Let just say....I am done with soundbars!! Gonna go for the full thing next time!! Less disappointment.

Waste of money. This sound bar stopped working in less than a year. The remote will not turn the unit on. Purchased a second remote and still having the same issue.

First and foremost, I must say that this Bose speaker sounds really nice! It is replacing a Soundcore BT speaker that was fine and doing a good job, but this is on another level obviously with the deep bass sounds it is capable of. I use this speaker for multiple uses throughout the day switching between a 4K Monitor for gaming/movies, Samsung s5e tablet for music at night & a Note 10+ phone to also play music out of but just occasionally. The speaker comes packaged well and I was up and running in no time. All of my devices found the Bose TV Speaker immediately and connected with no issues. Usually with BT devices, I find that they dont always connect right away. Even if the speaker appears off with no LED on, if I connect via my tablet, it connects immediately with no issue and the LED light turns on right away. Very appreciated personally as it is a pet peeve of mine to have to babysit electronics. The size is another bonus for this speaker in my opinion. Most speakers are very long and not appropriate for desks. This one is. Right now, I have my Bose TV Speaker on a Vadeer aluminum monitor stand, and only hangs over about an 1" on each side. OCD issues asside, it works. About as long as the 27" monitor above it. This is a big deal because of the sound it pumps out. No more desktop speakers, that while doing a fine job, didn't do it like this. After installing and playing music upstairs in the room, my wife tells me later that she thought neighbors were playing music from next door, it was so loud with bass. This is a plus in my book. To be fair, my only complaint is that there are no physical buttons on this speaker. Sleek? Oh yes. But what if the remote ends up missing? I would of preferred just 2 small buttons on the back, "just in case" to turn off or change from BT to TV. Hold down the power button for 3 seconds to auto turn on, but when I still like to do it manually.There does appear to be a battery door, so when the time comes, I'm sure I can replace the battery. Speaking of the remote, I would be amiss if I did not mention the utility of the remote. Has a power, volume (+ -), mute, TV,BT, Bass & lastly and speaker + type button that make the sound even clearer and raises it up as well pronouncing all the background sounds more clearly making the overall accoustic package more hearty and complete. The remote is also very small and light. If you have ever had a Bose before, you know what I mean in regards to the sound. Hard to explain, like watching 4K resolution game @ 60 frames per second, all while being streamed at 1080p resolution at 30 frames. You just have to see it in person to be blown away, or in this case to hear it. My specific score on this speaker is a solid a 4.5 out of 5. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a smaller TV speaker with big sound. Lastly, I am aware this speaker can be hooked up via HDMI to TVs but only with an HDMI ARC adapter. Otherwise it does come with optical cable. While I have no doubt that this will take the audio to even another level, it is already A+.

Sound is ok and not much better than some new TVs . Going to buy a subwoofer to see if it helps. Think of it as a light upgrade to your tv speakers.

It was not compatible with my sony tv and I could not use the HDMI only the fiber optic bose could not help me

Fantastic, scooped sound but very confusing to set up.
