A solid Bose speaker in a great size.

I've been using this unit for a week as a desktop speaker paried with a large 32" PC Monitor and runs a gaming PC and an Xbox Series X in a tight cubby situated in my spare room. Sound quality and volume wise it works great for this, and I imagine any reasonably sized space. The clarity is great as you would expect from Bose and the bass, cranked up to max, is actually pretty good considering just how small this unit is overall. Pleased with the purchase for sure.
Pros:
- Small
- Good clarity and decent bass
- Clean looks
- Decent connectivity options

Cons:
- While it has a good number of inputs it desperately needs an HDMI out, that would actually make it near perfect.
- With it's clean looks and design they decided to forgo any buttons on the unit and the remote lacks an actual input switching button so you have to do a dance of turning it off and on with different feeds running or use a device, like I use my monitor input switching, to control what puts out audio.
- Since it's all remote driven, loose that small remote and you are either out $30-40 or using some kind of multi function remote. If you use this with Arc through your TV then that makes it a bit more reliable.

Overall this would be a solid 4.5 or 5 out of 5 if it just had an HDMI out and actual input switching. Half point lost for each of those.

Bose Bluetooth Soundbar

Loving every minute. Sound is clear & crisp. Listening to TV sound speaker does not compare to the quality of the sound bar. Recommend totally - especially if you listen to musicals or shows on TV, You Tube, DVD’s, etc.

Bose Sound Bar

The sound bar works great. Husband loves it. We were met with awesome response when we entered the store and sent to the right department. The personnel who helped us went over everything with my husband so that he understood where to plug it into the tv. He was great!

Bose soundbar

Bought the $300.00 sound bar.
There is a difference from the TV speakers to the Bose but if you're not cranking it up there is not much difference other than the sound is coming right at you.

Impressive Dialogue for a small Soundbar
on August 2, 2021
Posted by: Johnny
from mississauga
Our TV speakers were adequate but found dialogue hard to hear at times. I was a little skeptical as some other similar sound bars I have tried provided muffled dialogue but lots of bass ( even in dialogue mode and low bass settings).
This BOSE TV speaker sound bar really outperforms others for dialogue heavy TV shows and movies. You will notice the difference right away. The dialogue is clear, understandable even at low volume. Hearing the footsteps and other small sound effects really adds to the TV\Movie watching experience.
While this sound bar will not give you wall-shaking bass that other sound bars are capable of, the Bass level produced from this small unit is both impressive with some movies and underwhelming for other movies ( but acceptable).
If you have a small place\room and want to improve the sound of your TV speakers without waking up the neighbors with wall-shaking bass, this sound bar should definitely be on your list to try out.
Hope this helps.

Sound Bar

Installing the sound bar saved a perfectly good television. The sound on the TV quit working but with the sound bar, we are back in business. The sound is great too (A Bose). And, when the TV does finally give up the ghost, we can move the sound bar to another TV or the new TV.
