The compact, space-conscious HT-S100F sound bar delivers enhanced sound quality, featuring a Bass Reflex speaker for deeper audio. This sound bar connects easily to a TV with HDMI ARC and brings high quality, room-filling sound with S-Force Pro Front Surround sound, with the ability to play your favorite music via USB or Bluetooth.
The Bose TV Speaker is a small soundbar that clarifies speech and improves overall TV sound. Inside there are two full-range drivers angled to deliver wide, spatial sound, while the center tweeter specifically focuses on clarifying speech. And built-in Dolby decoding enhances the audio capabilities of your TV Speaker to deliver a more realistic and satisfying listening experience. Designed with simplicity in mind, a single connection to your TV has you up and running in no time. This connection can be either an optical audio cable (included) or an HDMI cable (sold separately). At just over 2″ (5 cm) tall, this TV Speaker is small enough to fit just about anywhere. Place it in front of your TV or mount it to the wall. Plus small LED lights on the front turn on and/or change color when certain features are enabled or when the volume is adjusted. The Bose TV Speaker also has HDMI-CEC, which allows the TV and soundbar to communicate when connected by an HDMI cable. So when you turn the TV on, the soundbar will automatically turn on too, and you can even continue using your current TV remote to control the volume of the soundbar. However, the Bose TV Speaker also has its own remote. On it, you can pair your Bluetooth device to wirelessly stream your favorite music or podcasts, enable Dialogue Mode to further elevate center vocals, or add a bass boost for some extra depth. And the Bose TV Speaker is Roku TV Ready certified. Meaning, it’s designed to work seamlessly with a Roku TV. When connected to a Roku TV via an HDMI cable, you’ll enjoy smooth, automatic setup, easy access to the TV Speaker sound settings in the Roku TV on-screen menu, and compatibility with the Roku TV remote. If you’re looking for even more bass or just want to expand your system, you can add a subwoofer for more theater-quality home theater sound. The Bose TV Speaker requires a wired connection and is compatible with the Bose Bass Module 500 or 700 (Bose Bass Module Connection Cable sold separately).

Good sound. App could use some work.
My wife didn’t want a huge sub woofer in our living room so I went with this one, since they are built in. The sound quality is good. I have a large, open living area and the sound bar performs well. The bass is good enough for my needs but audiophiles will want to look elsewhere. I had no issue connecting to my network through the app. The sound profiles work well, especially clear voice. I connected through ARC and it has worked well for the most part. I did lose connection once and had to reboot but this may have been an issue with my Vizio TV. The Yamaha app is not intuitive and needs some work. We have it sitting on our tv console and it looks great.

Awesome mid price range sound bar
The first sound bar I ever had was a Yamaha. Several years later I upgraded my TV and decided to get a new sound bar. I tried a Samsung, returned it. Then got a Vizio, kept it a couple years then it started getting glitchy. Wasn't bad but not great sound. So I decided to go back to the yamaha. I love it. The built-in subs don't thump, didn't expect that any way, but it does give the bar a nice rich full sound. And the clear voice is way better than the other two bars. After a couple of weeks I added an 8" 100W sub to it. And that gave me the extra punch I wanted. Not only tv and movies, but music sounds great too. With alexa built-in I was able to get rid of the echo I had in the living room. The app is is pretty basic and doesn't really do much. But it works. I would definitely recommend it. Plus it won't break the bank!

Awesome Soundbar!!!
Awesome!!!! I love this soundbar; it sounds amazing! It was easy to set up. I added a Polk subwoofer to it and I’m in Heaven! I’m so glad my brother-in-law recommended for me to purchase this soundbar. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments.
