Bose TV Soundbar with Bluetooth & HDMI-ARC

Atendeu as minhas expectativas.

BOSE es calidad esta barra esta super no necesita más buena compra definitivamente se escucha super bien en películas y música recomendada al 100%.

This Bose TV Speaker has pretty good sound quality for the tv because it does sound better than the tv speakers and better volume and the speech is a little clearer, but that’s about as far as it goes.
I purchased this sound bar after looking at many, but mostly because I have been a Bose fan for many decades and in the days of them becoming to where they are now everything was exceptional until I received this product.
Bose dropped the ball on this one and seem to be living now off their name of top-quality products and service in the past and you know what starts to happen when you cut back on the quality, you start to lose your long time customers and no repurchase’s from most new ones so business starts to decline, and we all know what has happened to big companies in the past. You charge high dollars so put back in the quality you use too.
For two days I have been trying to get a simple question answered from them and no response.
After purchasing this product, I have come to realize the only subwoofer I can add to this sound bar which has poor bass, is programed only for their brand, and their cheapest woofer starting at $500.00 plus, that is ridicules.
The Bluetooth is version is 4.2, that came out around 2011 or 12 so outdated, much cheaper brands even have the newer versions, heck the remote is not even Bluetooth! You have to make sure no other devices have Bluetooth on to connect to a single device you want par and listen two, a lot of others allow two at once so you can switch back and forth.
There is absolutely no way to turn on or control the sound bar if you lose the remote, battery goes bad or if the remote goes bad, but we all know that does not happen now does it?
For a 300-dollar soundbar especially from Bose I expected more, half was for the name and the other half for the actual worth of the unit and to get more bass I need to spend over $500.00 more when other top brand units come with a sound bar for under $300.00. I should be able to connect other subwoofer brands to this unit but from all my checking only a couple of people have gotten lucky, I have two and neither one will work with this unit when I connected them, so It’s kind of like I gotcha from Bose if you want to upgrade your sound bar for $500.00 plus more to Bose.
Yes, looks like this one is going back to Bose.

Update: I decided to keep the speaker even as disappointed as I am with this so outdated speaker and mine was made in 2023 and then 28 days after using it just stopped working after being on for about a hour and a half, it only blinks the two lights white 3 times and turns the tv side light green and does this over and over again and will not turn off unless you unplug it, plug it back up and light off a couple of minutes then automatically turns back on and starts the same process over and over, So much for quality Bose I did not even get a months’ worth of use and thank goodness I had two days left to return, never again for me Bose. Service is nonexistent never got a answer for a simple question I sent earlier so just imagine how it is with a real problem.

We were looking for a sound bar that provided clear dialogue and this Bose unit certainly delivers with their dialogue setting. It has an adjustable bass setting that provides the “oomph” we were looking for. Perfect for people who aren’t looking for surround sound but want the quality the Bose name represents.

This is exactly what I needed for my use case. I live in a condo with shared walls so neighbors did not appreciate my powerful Sony system with a subwoofer. I got this Bose because it’s compact, great for hearing dialogue, and great for music. It has enough bass without a subwoofer. And it’s not too powerful, which is a positive thing for my situation. I’ve had this system for a year with no complaints. Sometimes it doesn’t turn on automatically when I turn on the TV. No problem, I just use the Bose remote in those rare cases. Bluetooth connection works but I prefer to stream music from my TV through HDMI connection to this soundbar. I feel like the HDMI connection has noticeably better sound than bluetooth. Not a Bose problem, just bluetooth in general.

our tv’s speakers are dying out. we used to have a sound bar that died on us years ago.

so figured i get another. looked at a few. then stumbled upon this gem. i’m glad i spent extra instead of getting a cheaper one.

this works… the sound quality is good. i can hear more than music. i can hear dialogue, background music…everything.

just note to buyers—it comes with an optical audio cable. so if your tv doesn’t have that, then get an hdmi cable so you can connect it to hdmi arc. luckily our tv has an optical audio output!
