Bose sound bar installed but hasn’t worked correct
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Bose sound bar was installed and connected but it is not working correctly. After several attempts to correct the issues it is still not correct. I’ve been repeatedly encouraged to purchase a Sonos sound bar. Which I really do not want.

Not pleased with the system… Geek Squad OK!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The techs connected my sound bar and DVR but now I realize the Sony TV actually sounds better without the new system… sad to say! The Geek Squad did their job; the contract system is flawed!

The Customer Should Get What He Pays For
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not fix the problem. The movement of the mouth and sound coming out of the mouth were not synced. The Geek kept asking me if it was better. I hesitating would answer “no”. He said he thought it was. I was the customer but guess I was wrong.

Did they do a good job?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My install guys did an install. But the explanation of the system is poor. Why not leave behind some instructions for the price I paid for the service? I am not a happy purchaser of this equipment. Difficult to learn, doesn't always do what it is supposed to. In spite of being told it was "easy" and a "no brainer".

sounded worse after he left
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The guy came and agreed with me that the receiver did not sound good. He told me that there was no adjustments he could make, and that I was lied to when I was told that the speakers I got were good. He made a few adjustments, and it sounded worse when he left, than when he got to my house.

Poor Quality Installation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There was no operating documentation left after installing the two expensive pieces of gear !!!! The installation concluded with the sound being weak and raspy !!! In no way a good value for the money. Design flaws in the electronics along with a rushed installation make this a bad buy.

Posted .Adding external audio sources has become extremely common, and we appreciate you choosing Best Buy and the Geek Squad for the upgrade and installation. It makes sense that you’d expect amazing sound quality as a result, and learning that was not the outcome for you is definitely not the feedback we’d hope to hear. In many cases, manufacturers are no longer including instructions inside the packaging, but continue to offer that information online. I’m not sure that would have been the case here, but something to be aware of for future purchases. If you’re not satisfied with the product or service received, please connect with us for options. Our Geek Squad Agents can be reached at (800) GEEKSQUAD, (800) 433-5778, and we’d be glad to review what might be possible.

Components not working
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The agents came in and connected my new stereo with 3 components. Work for a couple of days and now does not work other than TV. Advised to check all connections and they where all connected as they had done. Then the corona virus hit and unable to get the problem readdressed.

Additional time needed for set up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.no information given regarding the operation of the Soundbar. I understand they had trouble setting up the TV due to my confusion of passwords etc. However, sometimes this requires more than the allotted time allocated by Best Buy.
