TV Speaker - Soundbar for TV with Bluetooth and HDMI-ARC Connectivity, All-in-One Compact Soundbar, Includes Remote Control, Black

This has turned out to be a really nice soundbar for my purposes. I had been using a low cost nice and decent sounding speaker sold as a soundbar. The problem was too much bass. I live in a townhouse and I'm sure the boom of the bass was annoying the neighbor. So I decided to try a 'plan b". The Bose speaker is very expensive, yes it is. But what it does is allow you to turn the bass all the way down and do enhance speech mode. Helps me so much. I have hearing loss at the high end from a career that involved being at the gun range all my adult life. And the highs are suffering. Voices fall into that. This boosts the treble and the voices, so you can hear voices so much better. Momma always said life isn't always fair, that you have to pay so much to get that feature when there are cheaper options, but they are goofy in how they work and aren't reliable with connecting to HDMI-ARC, sometimes connect, sometimes not, can't turn down excessive bass, and can't boost voices, that kind of thing. Bose is perfect if you are in the same situation as me.

Provide better sound than the tv’s speakers. Louder but not stereo sound. No hdmi cord included. Easy setup

Purchased this product as a gift for someone but I made sure to test it before giving it to them since there were some key features I needed. Firstly, this soundbar is not as long as other soundbars on the market which is exactly what I was looking for. I needed it to fit under a PC monitor - and it fits perfectly. Secondly, I needed it to have a 3.5mm jack. In theory, you can use optical, but I wanted to have the option to use the 3.5mm jack since its the easiest way to get speakers to work on your computer. I looked at TONS of sound bars, and it seems like the 3.5mm jacks have gone extinct or something. But not on this sound bar. This one had a 3.5mm jack which was perfect and it made connecting to my PC super easy. Next, I needed it to be loud. At first when I plugged it in, it was quiet, even with my computer volume on 100%. But when I turned up the sound on the actual sound bar using the remote - it was plenty loud. This soundbar does NOT have physical buttons to alter the volume, so you need the remote (included). I don't think that's a bad thing though. Next, I did not want it to have any voice control or built in Alexa or whatever else. It was never going to get used and I didn't want to pay the extra money for that feature. Pros: - Quality of sound - Loudness - Looks great - Short enough to fit on a desk for PC set up - No voice control/Alexa - Reasonably priced - Variety of connection (HDMI Arc, Optical, Aux In, Additional Bass) - Bluetooth connectivity (don't need it, but good to have) Cons: - Doesn't have voice control (not a con for me, but could be for someone else) Conclusion: This was the only soundbar I managed to find that fit everything I needed. If you resonate with my reasoning for why I chose a soundbar like this, I would say its a no-brainer.

I bought a LGC5 TV and like most televisions these days it has god awful internal speakers. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of money on a nice picture only to use it's terrible speakers so I knew I needed better sound. I knew going into this that sound bars are notoriously frowned upon in the audio world. If you do any research you'll quickly find out they're overpriced and don't offer nearly the quality as a multi-speaker set up with a subwoofer. However due to the location of my TV I was severely limited on my audio choices, I just didn't have room for much of anything, even most soundbars were too big for what I needed. One of the only ones that fit my specs was this Bose bar so I bought it because I didn't really have much of an option. The set up was easy, just plug it into power and use the ARC HDMI port for audio. The sound quality is not bad for what it is but I was just looking for a product that was a step up from TV speakers so the bar was set pretty low. I played some music on YouTube and it was definitely a fuller sound compared to the flat sound that came with the TV A few ending notes 1. This sound bar is $279 msrp but is often found for $199. Just wait for the price drop because I don't think this thing is worth almost $300. I personally used a $50 credit so it was only 150ish for me 2. As I mentioned I don't recommend a sound bar if you're really looking for good sound. But if you're truly set on a sound bar I highly recommend getting one that includes a subwoofer. I have another sound bar from Vizio that includes a sub and it's noticeably better 3. An HDMI cable is not included but an optical cable is. I highly recommend an HDMI if your TV has an ARC option, it's a better set up.

I picked up the Bose TV Speaker to replace my old CineMate Bose system that finally died, and so far it’s been an excellent, hassle-free replacement. Setup was plug-and-play with my existing Bose TV’s optical out and it started working immediately. I haven’t used the Dialogue Enhancer feature, but even without it the speaker delivers clear, natural-sounding audio that suits my room very well. The unit is compact but sounds bigger than it looks. The bass has respectable weight for such a small speaker — not a home-theatre rumble, but enough to give action scenes and music some presence. The included remote is simple and intuitive, and overall build quality feels solid and understated like other Bose products. Pros: - Smooth setup — truly plug-and-play - Clear, balanced sound that fits the room nicely - Compact footprint; good for smaller living areas or bedrooms - Solid build and easy-to-use remote Cons: - Not a substitute for a full surround system if you want immersive multi-channel audio - Won’t match a dedicated subwoofer for deep bass Would recommend if you want an easy, reliable upgrade from an older compact Bose unit — great for improving everyday TV sound without fuss.

Atendeu as minhas expectativas.

Buena opcion, la calidad claro se siente diferente a una barra comecial, de inicio pense no sonaba bien y le faltaba potencia pero es que hay que saberla configurar, la puse cob hdmi y se configuro al control remoto de izzi para se prenda y apague con la tv, al cambiar el volumen de la tv sale el modo de amplificador y la pongo al 40 y se escucha bastante fuerte sin modo de amplificacion de voz (que parece un extra bastante fuerte) a vexes le quito esta funcion ya al dormir porque se escucha muy potente, en realidad la barra es bastante buena pense que necesitaria a fuerza el modulo de bajos pero bajea bien para una barra al nivel de una barra 2.1 creative que tenia antes (60/80rms aprox) la verdad solo hay que moverle, jugarle a configurarla y listo, el volumen sin este modo que sale en la tv el nivel es dificil de subir y piensas no sube, la calidad es muy buena y escucho muy diferente a la barra anterior aunque fuera 2.1, si muy contento y la calidad es demaciado bueno, por el precio es una super compra, no duden en pedirla.

Perfecta Barra de Sonido Bosé, la marca lo dice todo, sonido excelente,calidad excelente,precio excelente , la recomiendo ampliamente.!!!

So easy to hook up. Small remote but it had battery in it. Didn't need it because my tv remote programmed for bose soundbar I replaced, and controlled new soundboard. Almost half the size of my old bose soundbar but the sound is so clear, think it is better than old soundbar. Paid about $2K years ago so this one a much better deal and the quality of sound just as good if not better. Very happy with it!
