A great TV Speaker (Soundbar) `for the price. Theater quality sound from the speaker alone. It also has bluetooth capability, so it can be used to stream music with that great BOSE quality sound. Definitely recommended!
I bought this because I missed so much of the dialogue on tv programs. I really didn’t enjoy watching tv anymore. Now I can hear every word being said and it is such a pleasure to watch again. Thank you for this life-changing product.
Very easy and simple hookup accomplished in minutes by two senior citizens (wife was holding tv while I connected power & HDMI cords) HDMI-earc cable recommended for smart tv's with HDMI-earc HDMI port and is not included. Most HDMI cables after version 1.4 have the earc function built in. This product is a tv speaker and not a soundboard, however, it is a definite upgrade and is a great assist to those hearing impaired having a difficult time understanding dialog. Highly recommend.
The speaker worked alright. I had the bass on the remote turned up all the way to compensate for not having a separate bass module. I could have made it work. However, the next day the speaker didn’t work and was very hot underneath. I reset it by unplugging it for awhile but it never worked again. After reading similar reviews, I simply decided to return it. Very disappointed in the product and Bose. It pained me to buy a different brand.

Hi there,
We're glad that you enjoyed the sound from the Soundbar, you can add our optional Bass Module 500 connecting through our Bass Module cable if you need extra Bass. While I understand you've returned it, if you decide to try the Soundbar again know that the overheating is very unexpected. If you do require assistance then please reach out to us at https://bose.life/38DNELy.
Should not have the name Bose on this tv speaker - terrible sound
