This speaker is compact but powerful with total clarity. I have trouble understanding speech on regular soundbars but the Bose TV Soundbar is super clear and understandable. I am enjoying this being able to understand every word being said instead of 1 out 5 and trying to puece together a sentence. For me this soundbar is a godsend and something I never dreamed could happen after going through several other brands of soundbar. Thank you for this opportunity to review this product. I might add it is simple to hook and set up using the included optical cable or an HDMI. I highly recommend this Bose TV Soundbar.
The New Bose TV Speaker improves on everything the Bose Solo 5 does. It is slightly wider and slightly lower in size and should fit in front of just about an TV. (An optional wall mount is available.) It has a built-in power supply so you only need to plug in a power cord - no power-brick to hide. Connectivity is excellent as it supports line-level,, optical and HDMI-ARC input. When connected to a HDMI-ARC jack it will automatically power itself on and off and you may adjust the volume using the remote that came with your TV even though it comes with a nice, small remote. Don't be put off that it does not come with a universal remote - you shouldn't need it as the speaker can be programmed to work with the remote you already own if you do not have a HDMI-ARC jack available. The sound quality is excellent and it provides quite good left-right sound separation and great speech quality thanks to its center mounted tweeter. It also has a speech mode setting for even greater clarity. I used the Bluetooth feature to stream music to it and while listening to the live recording of "Hotel California" you could easily pick out each of the acoustic guitars in the song. Pretty impressive for a TV speaker. The volume level exceeds that of the Solo 5 and it has quite a good sound stage as well so your movie or music sounds more like it is in the room as opposed to just coming out of a box. While the bass is pretty impressive for its size it does have the ability to be plugged into a Bose Subwoofer if you are looking for real room-shaking bass.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this speaker around a week now and I'm so impressed. The clarity of the sound is fantastic the adjustable base is a great feature when switching from watching sports to movies. The optic cable means no sound lad switching channels and recognises the switch from aerial tv to hdmi and even catch up or youtube through the tv. A lovely slimline remote control is very responsive for changing the volume also with the option to adjust the base from it too. Another great feature allows you to connect a smartphone to the speaker via bluetooth which is great for anyone who has lots of music on their device.
I installed this TV speaker on my 52" TV with standard speakers. It definitely makes an improvement in the quality and clarity of the sound. My hearing is far from ideal anyway and having the BOSE speaker projecting straight in front of the TV makes a definite difference in the clarity of the sound. It is so small that it is not very obvious that it is there. I chose to use the HDMI hookup to an HDMI ARC connector on my TV. The speaker now automatically comes on when TV is turned on and I use my existing remote to control the volume of the speaker. You can also use the included optical audio cable to connect to your TV. The little remote that comes with it is used to set up the way you want your speaker configured. You can also connect mobile devices through Bluetooth to the speaker. Typical BOSE great quality.
This is a small sound bar with a big speaker sound. The compact size 2.2in high, 23.4in wide, 4in deep, make this sound bar very flexible for positioning. Setup is simple right out of the box. It comes with the power cord, an optical cable and a remote control. You can also connect it with your own HDMI cable. It is Bluetooth capable so I can play music from my phone and again the sound is great. The next TV I buy will be Bluetooth capable which should allow me to place the speaker across the room. I connected my sound bar into the cable box via the optical cable which was much easier for me than connecting to the back of the TV. You can set the sound bar to come on when it detects the TV is on, or you can turn it on from the remote. I was able to connect mine to my universal cable remote. There is a bass control on the remote which also reduces treble as you increase bass. Bose offers a separate bass speaker that is connectable to this sound bar. There is also a dialogue mode on the remote that is supposed to elevate the sound of dialogue but I haven't experimented with it too much yet. So far I am very please with this speaker.
I have been using this Bose Speaker for a week now and have used it for regular TV shows, Movies and Music. Without the optional Bass speaker, You are getting a high definition audio speaker not much different than what today's higher quality TV'S already come with. If you have a standard TV then this Bose will improve the quality of your sound. There is a bass sound adjustment but not like a separate speaker would sound like. Regular TV shows are an improvement as well as Netflix. Music sounds good but not like a full surround sound system. You will get crisp sound but don't expect booming bass effects.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Even before opening the box I was impressed, when the packaging is this good you know you're in for a treat and I wasn't disappointed. The unit has a real quality feel to it despite its compact dimensions and in comparison to the large Onkyo 5.1 system it was replacing it's tiny. Connectivity on my old TV (plasma!) was challenging to begin with, Viera link wasn't working as expected and various things had to be tried including the optical cable but after a bit of relearning and TV option changing the Bose sprang into live via HDMI-ARC and has been flawless since. Initially I was a little disappointed with the sound, a bit flat, lacking the kind of depth I was hoping for but with the bass level increased and the volume turned up it comes alive and impresses. It's also fair to say that you need to experience a range of programs to get an idea of what it can do, some channels don't allow it to shine whereas others really seem to be in tune with it and allow it to impress a great deal. Considering the relatively low price for a Bose product, and initial setup issues due to my system not withstanding, it's a fantastic option to consider that allows some expansion to add extra bass too. Personally I think the output feels a little narrow but that's probably due to me going from a quality separates system with incredibly detailed fine tuning of the sound stage, as a basic upgrade from onboard TV speakers it's a huge leap forward.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Don`t expect anything magical from this little device, it`s not a home cinema system but a good addition for a tv and nice bluetooth speaker for your room. Personally I was a bit disappointed with general sound range, there is lack of high tones, sound is quite flat. Bass kick is impressive for a speaker in this size and for someone who doesn`t want to bother with bulky subwoofers this can be main reason to buy this product.
Got this to replace the speakers I have on my computer. I have a Bose theater system for my main TV and Bose Micro speakers for my patio so I am used to excellent quality audio from their speakers. I watch a lot of TV on my computer and listen to some music. Set up is very easy whether direct connect or bluetooth. Unfortunately I was completely underwhelmed by the audio quality. The sound almost sounded like mono instead of stereo and was muted. It doesn't have the same crisp, clear audio of my other Bose speakers. I'm not sure whether it would even be an improvement over the regular TV speakers. I did a Youtube video review that is called "Bose TV Soundbar vs Creative Technologies Inspire 2 1". It's my first one ever and not very professional but hopefully you get the idea.
