[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The audio quality provided by this soundbar is excellent. Far surpassed my expectations. Our movie nights and game days have reached a new level. Easy install and easy to use. Don’t be fooled by the sleek and small design... this product packs a punch!

Couldn’t go wrong with Bose, yet I didn’t expect what this little critter would do for Bluetooth music, turned up the bass just a little, WOW! Now using it for music almost as much as TV. Sounds just as good as my S1 Pro, just not as loud ;-)

Good Entry into Soundbars

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soundbar was a transition from a 5.1 into a simplistic way of listening. My first impression was that the bar felt heavy and sturdy. The asthetic is like that of most of the bars in the market right now; the less on there, the better. Upon connecting, came my revelation that I was no longer on a reciever, and the set up, moreover, the application, would be different. Connectivity is simple, but limited. Again, this comes from a reciever that allowed for multiple HDMI connections, and now I had to re-route everything into the TV; which is also limited to 3--caviat--it's all burried within the wall, so it will require a litte more work. Wires exposed aside, I can move on, because the sound is amazing. I was able to hear a lot of very clear dialogue as the included remote control promotes this. The surround is suprisingly solid-to be technical would be disingenuous, as the specs will relate it better than I could. This bar is an update from the previous one where it was only via optical cable that one could connect; now it is HDMI, and it should be a game changer for everyone.

Very good sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound from this sound bar was way better than I would have expected. It has a dialogue mode which is great for those times when you really just want to hear every word people are saying. I only use it for the TV but it has Bluetooth as well. The music from it is really decent. It's not going to compete with a thousand dollar sound system but it's definitely better than your sick TV audio.

Better sound really helps improve TV watching

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Bose TV Speaker dramatically improves the sound from my TV. Speech and mid frequencies are much easier to hear and discern. With the built-in speakers speech was sometimes indistinguishable and I had to increase the volume to occasional uncomfortable levels. There is now bass and some rumble where there was previously none. The highs are also improved from the built-in TV speakers, there is some sparkle and increased clarity there as well. This improvement is noticed most dramatically when watching movies or concerts, but regular everyday, casual watching benefits as well. Once you get use to the better sound it is difficult to go without a soundbar for your television.
Setup was easy and straight-forward, I tried both optical and HDMI-ARC connections and settled with HDMI-ARC due to preferring the volume control integration with the original TV remote. The speakers are thin and blend in well with the television and stand.

Definite Volume Upgrade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using only a television for sound all these years, I decided to make a low-cost upgrade. I went with Bose because I felt like I'd get the most boost for my buck. It's a slick-looking device. It's low profile and doesn't draw attention visually. I felt that installing it was super simple. It essentially took less than two minutes. There were two cables to plug in. That was it.
The quality of the sound is very dynamic. Movies had such flat audio previously, but now it feels like I'm in a theater. I watch a lot of video where people are just talking (no action, etc) and I found that the voice boost option is very helpful in hearing the voices clearly. This works good for other types of shows, too, like movies and sitcoms. The only issue that I had in this regard is that even with bass boost turned off, I can get a sort of low rumbling sound while watching something with only dialogue. For instance, I may get it while viewing the news. I don't know if that's sound that is present in the audio that just wasn't discernible previously or what. I can't find any way to remove this. Overall, it doesn't diminish my viewing enjoyment.
I have also cast audio from other devices to the speaker, which was quick and easy, and connected via Bluetooth to listen to music. I love that option.
