Bose TV Speaker - Soundbar for TV with Bluetooth and HDMI-ARC Connectivity, Black, Includes Remote Control

Easy Install and setup. Note that the TV remote volume control will only work if you install with USB rather than the included optical cord. Sound with my 5 year old Samsung is good on broadcast TV and much better on Netflix, etc. movies. Sound is great on Bluetooth music stream for a speaker this compact. Bass control is great but treble makes for a bit thin sound on certain listening. High quality as expected from Bose. Wish there was an app associated with the soundbar so I could pair with other Bose speaker I own.

For the money this is a nice speaker. It’s NOT a Soundbar , it’s a TV speaker. While it’s not near as nice as my Sonos which was twice the price, and has no app control, it’s works great for my 2nd home. It does have a glitch. If you connect to it via BT to play music , it does not automatically go back to the optical input from TV, I have to unplug it and plug it back in . It does have an HDMI ARC input as well so you can control volume from your TV if it has ARCNice little basic remote as wellWhy did you pick this product vs others?:Price and brand name

Great soundbar, it adds a better experience when watching a movie, or anything. It's not too big, I have it in my bedroom . Its easy to hook up. It comes with a wire to hook into your tv, (I'm sorry, I forget what the wire is called) but prefer to use HDMI, it seems more stable (this is for all soundbars) so I bought that separately, just do some research if you want 4k or 8k ..whatever your tv can handle, it all depends on the quality of your tv..anyway, Bose is a great company. This soundbar is somewhat small but sounds clear, crisp, has the right amount of bass, it's sturdy and worth every penny.

This soundbar had very good audio for the price, however I ended up returning for two reasons: it didn't have wired ethernet connectivity, and it didn't have an LCD display so you couldn't tell what was going on (what volume it was set to, etc.).Pros:– Has a dedicated Dialogue Mode for making voices stand out from background noise and music.– Its small footprint fits easily under most TVs without being obtrusive.– Very easy to connect and get running, typically just one cable.– Has a balanced, rich sound for its size, typical of Bose audio.– Convenient for streaming music from your phone.Cons:– While it has a bass boost, it won't deliver room-shaking bass without the optional subwoofer.– Designed for enhanced stereo, not immersive surround sound effects.– Lacks advanced features like Wi-Fi, ethernet, or multiple HDMI inputs found on other soundbars.– No Display - status lights are present, but a full text display would be helpful for modes/volume.Overall it was a decent sound bar, but for the price I ended getting a JBL 300 sound bar because it sounded just as good, and had all the features that I wanted (in particular the ethernet port and the LCD display that the Bose lacked).

Great speaker! Smaller horizontal width than expected compared to my Samsung. Sound quality is good and the bass kicks if you turn it up. The dialogue setting is much better than my other one. Connected easily to my Apple TV to control it.

This Bose TV Speaker has pretty good sound quality for the tv because it does sound better than the tv speakers and better volume and the speech is a little clearer, but that's about as far as it goes.I purchased this sound bar after looking at many, but mostly because I have been a Bose fan for many decades and in the days of them becoming to where they are now everything was exceptional until I received this product.Bose dropped the ball on this one and seem to be living now off their name of top-quality products and service in the past and you know what starts to happen when you cut back on the quality, you start to lose your long time customers and no repurchase's from most new ones so business starts to decline, and we all know what has happened to big companies in the past. You charge high dollars so put back in the quality you use too.For two days I have been trying to get a simple question answered from them and no response.After purchasing this product, I have come to realize the only subwoofer I can add to this sound bar which has poor bass, is programed only for their brand, and their cheapest woofer starting at $500.00 plus, that is ridicules.The Bluetooth is version is 4.2, that came out around 2011 or 12 so outdated, much cheaper brands even have the newer versions, heck the remote is not even Bluetooth! You have to make sure no other devices have Bluetooth on to connect to a single device you want par and listen two, a lot of others allow two at once so you can switch back and forth.There is absolutely no way to turn on or control the sound bar if you lose the remote, battery goes bad or if the remote goes bad, but we all know that does not happen now does it?For a 300-dollar soundbar especially from Bose I expected more, half was for the name and the other half for the actual worth of the unit and to get more bass I need to spend over $500.00 more when other top brand units come with a sound bar for under $300.00. I should be able to connect other subwoofer brands to this unit but from all my checking only a couple of people have gotten lucky, I have two and neither one will work with this unit when I connected them, so It's kind of like I gotcha from Bose if you want to upgrade your sound bar for $500.00 plus more to Bose.Yes, looks like this one is going back to Bose.Update: I decided to keep the speaker even as disappointed as I am with this so outdated speaker and mine was made in 2023 and then 28 days after using it just stopped working after being on for about a hour and a half, it only blinks the two lights white 3 times and turns the tv side light green and does this over and over again and will not turn off unless you unplug it, plug it back up and light off a couple of minutes then automatically turns back on and starts the same process over and over, So much for quality Bose I did not even get a months' worth of use and thank goodness I had two days left to return, never again for me Bose. Service is nonexistent never got a answer for a simple question I sent earlier so just imagine how it is with a real problem.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Bose is one of the best products madeValue for money:We are very happy with what we spent on the sound barSound quality:The sound quality is fantastic Ease of use:Don't lose the remoteDistortion:I've had no issues Clarity:Unbeatable
