Average

Using this on a 3-year old 55 Samsung Smart TV. It really enhanced the dialog, but from the get go I was not happy with the sound, in the sense that it was not surround. I live in a carpeted apartment, so I hardly turn it up loud, and three months later it is crackling with the base portion. I connected my phone via Bluetooth to play Spotify and it does not sound like a stereo. I'm disappointed considering it's a Bose.

Good Sound But.........

So this being a BOSE product it is a quality one no doubt my miss step is just that and not BOSE's. I purchased this for a fairly large room and all though it sounds good I need something a bit more bassier and powerful to really enjoy the TV it is paired up with. This sound bar is perfect for a smaller room / home office, etc. but if it's a larger room look for something else and BOSE has a great line-up of products.

Amazing Sound Quality!

Purchased today, great packaging. The sound quality is out of this world. I wanted a speaker for the bedroom and this one is simply awesome! Streaming music from any of the services through a tablet is a breeze through the aux port, optical or bluetooth, Love it!

Terrible Product

Product does not have an HDMI ARC input, so I cannot control through my TV remote control accepted limited fashion through Bluetooth. This means I must use the separate remote to turn on the soundbar every time I turn on the tv. The battery on their remote control died after only 15 days. If I haven't thrown away the box the first day inadvertently, I would have returned it by now.

Great As a Gift To Mom

My mom always turns up the volume to her TV so much that I know the speakers will get blown out so I got her this and she's been happy with it ever since...no longer does she feel the need to turn it up so loud when all she wants to do are watch her shows and to be able to hear them and whenever she wants she can play music from her phone

Bose quality sound as usual!

Finally can now hear dialogue without the annoying background music drowning it out. Wonderful! Further, we can use the Xfinity remote to control volume and power on the sound bar and not have to use the Bose remote except to put the bar in "dialogue" mode when we first set it up. Turned off the Vizio 60" TV internal speakers with Vizio menu settings using Vizio remote then enabled the Xfinity remote power/volume using the Xfinity my account app on my smartphone. Brilliant! Highly recommended!!!

My tv was louder

This thing is not worth the money. I tried it, and was extremely dissapointed at how low volume it had as high as possible. Plus if you lose the control it comes with, the bose speaker doesnt have any settings to mess around with. I returned it the next day as quickly as possible.

Really great quality sound

I really love this soundbar. I wanted something clearer for my bedroom TV and it exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is wonderful. For TV it is clear, projects the sounds forward, and adds depth to movies and sports. But I found that as a bluetooth speaker for music, it is really good. I actually returned a one-piece Vizio sound bar because music sounded too harsh coming out of that one. The quality of sound from the Bose is much much better. Also, read the manual because you can adjust the bass using the remote from low to med to med-high to high, so if it lacks bass at first just increase it. It is not a subwoofer but it has a full, warm sound when the bass is increased. I am very happy with this purchase.

Not very impressed!

Not very impressed with its performance. Unable to use my Samsung TV remote to control the speaker. So have to have both the remote to control both TV and the sound. Sound is little bit better than the TV original speakers but not much of an improvement. Not sure if I will keep it or it will go back to Sams. From Sams point of view it was a good deal and delivered in time.

Meh

Bought this soundbar to go with a new TV we purchased. I had a few issues with this device. The main one being that it would not come on/go off with the TV remote. The TV remote would turn the volume up and down, but the sound bar had to be turned on with its own remote. I searched for a solution and the only thing I found was that it would work if it were connected with an hdmi cable. This device doesn't have an hdmi port. (Seriously? It's 2023!) The other issue is that the sound isn't as good as what you would expect from Bose. This may be the bottom of their product line, but it's still a Bose. I returned it and hooked up our old Polk soundbar that still sounds great and is controlled with the TV remote.
