You can app up the dialog and decrease the background noise!! Works great! We love it!!! Alsdo comes right on when we turn on the tv power. Other sound bar we had to turn on after turning on the tv. THis is so much faster and Bose sound is top notch!!

Love the sound clarity. This speaker is great in the living room tv . It has great sound quality for a small compact speaker compared to the bigger one we used to have.

It's easy to set up, easy to understand and use.......do NOT waste your money buying any other soundbar.....it is a Bose....enough said !!

I realized I needed to add a sound bar to our 75" basement TV. The TV speakers didn't sound bad but in a large room it required "more cow bell". I needed to find a sound bar that I could mount below our TV and above an electric fireplace so this compact SB fit the bill. I like the "dialog mode" setting that really allows you to hear voices/speech very clearly. This SB connected automatically to my Samsung TV using the optical connection cord provided. The wall mount was also easy to install.

It's decent all around the sound quality is what you'd expect from Bose. I will say the bass out of this particular speaker is lacking but all in all is sounds good.

very easy to connect . One button to change from TV to Blue tooth Music from my phone. the Voice enhancement really Clarifies the ability to understand speech. Bass is great. Would have given it 5 stars if it was Alexa compatible.

Great speaker, I use it every day in seminars that I conduct in restaurants. It fills the whole room easily. Only drawback, it does not have an on/off switch - you must use the remote. Don't lose the remote and keep your battery fresh in it, and you are good to go!

I had another soundbar from another brand that I loved, but it quit working one day. I bought this soundbar on a whim to replace the other one. This Bose soundbar does an adequate job for the price, but it drove me absolutely nuts trying to get it to work with my universal remote. I could change the volume, mute, etc, but I couldn't get it to turn on without using the Bose remote. Finally, after looking at other reviews hoping someone else had a tip for me, I came across a response from Bose to someone else's review that said "Also, don't forget that you can turn on "Auto-wake", by pressing and holding the Power button on the Bose remote for 5 seconds. This will cause your soundbar to turn on automatically whenever you turn your TV on." Ahhh, finally I don't need multiple remotes just to watch a show. Hope this helps someone else.

I love Bose products, so it disappointed me that this soundbar didn't connect to my TV with a ARC HDMI outlet. A connection with the included optical cable does not allow you to control the power and sound volume of the soundbar and that just doesn't work for me. Great quality and the same Bose excellence, but maybe I just purchased an old model, but ended up returning both.

I have bought and used Bose products for years, i never even think about getting Bose. It is like Apple products, usually more expensive but the quality is never in doubt. I bought this sound bar and it was terrible, the sound quality was about the same of the Samsung TV. I was very surprised and disappointed needless to say I returned it
