Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased Bose sound bar for my tv and I was very disappointed with sound quality. I tried optical, Hdmi and bluetooth connections but sound quality was average.

I bought the first one and it failed within 6 months return it and got the 2nd one and it failed within 2 weeks audio was cutting out and locking up ànd having to be unplugged to reboot.

Love this sound bar. Excellent value and ease of use.

This improves the TV speaker sound a bit. Cannot rave.

Great sound. Bose stands up to its name and delivers.

Sounds good but could use a little More bass thank you.

Good speakers and clarity but I had to return because of other reasons

Very good sound. Little hard to set up some features.

Very good speaker, nice quality and overall good addition to our new tv

Added great sound to our outdoor kitchen near pool.

Bought it July 2023 and here we are 8 months later and it overheats and sound keeps cutting out or sounds volume keeps going up and down. What I mean by up and down is normal volume to near no sound. Plan to call Bose and ask about their 1 year warranty.

Sound quality is good and the setup was super easy

Love Bose products. Easy to install with Smart tv.

This sound bar was great at first, but shortly after the warranty ran out, it quit working. Wouldnt connect via blue tooth or even with an HDMI cable. Tried every troubleshooting trick i coukd find and even tried a different tv/network. It would connect to bluetooth, but lost the connection within minutes. Very disappointed. Bose used to be a high quality product, but not my experience with this soundbar.

No better if not weaker than the TV speakers. There is absolutely NO bass control and too, it cannot be used in sync with the TV speakers because you get a reverb delay making the sound like in an echo chamber. I have a Bose tabletop radio, circa 2008, the produces wonderful bass in NO comparison to the weak Bose sound bar. Not only disappointing but money grab. You pay for a name and a nice box that produces nothing in respect to what the Bose name supposedly represents. Shop elsewhere.

I had to return this item. Did not sync up with my tv and other components of mine

Not good as alone until buy with woofer option. Alone it is ok and better than TV sound but did not get the sound effect we expecting from sound bar

I have had this sound bar for approx. 8 mos. now. Even though I am using an HDMI cord, thru my Samsung’s HDMI ARC port, every time I turn the TV off, at the end of the day, and on, the next day, I get no sound thru the sound bar! I have gone into the TV settings and made sure everything was checked, that needed to be checked. The only solution I’ve found is to turn the TV and sound bar off, disconnect the power plugs to both, wait a couple of minutes, connect back to plugs, then turn the TV and sound bar on again! What a routine to have to go thru every day! I expected better from Bose!

For it not being a top teir soundbar it has decent sound quality

Pro: -Good audio for its size -Simple setup Con: -Limited features -Expensive -No hdmi cable included To sum it up, the Bose TV Speaker is exactly that, external speaker you hook up to your TV. It’s not a soundbar, so no passthrough or additional inputs. It sounds great for its size and is simple to set up. The audio is amazingly good considering how small the speaker is. The sound is full, dialogue is clear, and has a decent amount of bass. Not enough for booming sounds from movies or games, but good enough for TV and music. You can add an additional Bose subwoofer, for a high cost. At the right distance, it sounds like the audio is coming from the entire space in front of you rather than from a small box under your TV. It’s best for watching stereo content or listening to dialogue heavy audio. While it’s okay for movies or gaming, it doesn’t bring enough to be considered a home theater experience. There’s an option to enhance voice making it louder, but the background audio gets a bit compressed. Out of the box, it’s easy to set up and use. It’s best with HDMI/Arc so the TV can control the power and volume of the speaker. It’s a shame they don’t include an HDMI cable. Using optical, you lose the control but can set up so that the speaker turns on when it detects sound. The only indicator are two lights that flashes in different combinations depending on what is being adjusted. It’s pretty easy to read. Although the Bose speaker has superior audio quality than a typical soundbar of this size, at this price, you can buy a 5.1 or 7.1 soundbar with a wireless subwoofer. It depends if you would rather have better stereo sounds and don’t care about features you get from a full soundbar, or a soundbar with additional inputs and probably better bass, but with less fuller audio.
