Had this thing unpacked plugged in and ready to go. Remote doesn't respond. Checked the battery. Checked all Wiring. Re connected everything. Nothing happened. Sure I could go to the online website they tell you to go to that loads every machine but the one you're having trouble with, but I'm returning it because Bose has really let itself go. The remote is cheap. The case looks cheap. I never had a chance to hear it but I assume they skimped on the cheaper models too. Maybe next time.

Great Bose sound! I own many Bose products and this one meets my expectation with the sound. There are a few things that are a few ver minor disappointing things about this particular sound bar but keep in mind it IS a speaker and it does what speakers do very well.

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.

I purchased this sound bar, because of the Bose name and was shocked at how flat & cheap the quality of sound was. I'm very tech savvy and adjusted all of the settings in an effort to maximize the sound. Even the store clerk at the store return desk said how horrible this sound bar sounds while I was returning this item for a refund. I ended up purchasing the Vizio V51-H6 sound bar system and am extremely surprised and satisfied with the performance & sound quality of my Vizio system - for the same price.

From the box to connection, it takes 10 minutes tops. Troubleshooting why it won't turn on or respond to the remote - 1 hour. Remote IR lights up (they advise viewing through a camera because the naked eye can't see the light). Soundbar chirps when it is plugged in so it is getting power, however it does not respond. Checked wiring but there's only a power cord and optical cord so there isn't much to screw up there. Used their online troubleshooting instructions but ultimately the website instructs to send it back for repair. Absolutely not - Sam's can have it back and I'll pony up for one that actually works.

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

I own several Bose products including the S1 pro, and the Companion Speakers with the sub just to name a few. this pains me to write this review because I love Bose but they dropped the ball on this one.I was looking for a slight upgrade in my bedroom.First of all this speaker is slightly better than most factory tv speakers. There are some better. Sounds great in the store but when you get it home is when reality hit you. Sound quality is a little above average.No Bass. Distortion when you increase the volume. Too expensive for what you get. Even with the Bose name this should sell for $50 max. I'm returning it today.Spend the money and get the S1 Pro for versatility and use it for TV , outdoors, parties,playing your instrument and karaoke you won't be disappointed.

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!

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.
