TV Speaker- Small soundbar with Bluetooth connectivity

This sounbar is excellent if your TV has poor sound quality or if, like me, your hearing isn't what it used to be. We bought this to replace a much more expensive soundbar. It gave much more of a surround sound effect, but, no matter how it was adjusted, the dialogue was always muffled. The Bose soundbar gives crystal clear sound, even when the dialogue mode is not used. It is compact, unobtrusive and very easy to set up, even for a complete technophobe like myself. Highly recommended.

We sat down to enjoy our new 4K TV, and immediately found that we loved the picture, but also found, to our dismay, that the sound was somewhat tinny and, worst of all, the spoken dialogue was very hard to hear, especially if the actors did not stand up straight and speak like an Englishman! It seems to be the case, that a really good budget 4K TV provides an excellent picture, but will cut corners somewhere, and that is usually the sound, probably on the assumption many can address that by investing in additional speakers of some sort. OK, in our case, the poor sound was not helped by the fact someone (who shall remain nameless) is also going a bit deaf, especially in the base and mid tone areas. Obviously, this meant we had to break open the piggy bank, again, and invest in an Amp and some additional speakers or, perhaps, just a Soundbar. The Amp and Speakers option can be the optimum solution but, that is very expensive, especially if needing the HDMI throughput to be 4K. Soundbars seemed like a good idea, until you start looking, and find they come in all different prices, with often confusing reviews. As luck would have it, I already had a very nice set of BOSE Headphones, and the sound quality there is first rate. So, I decided that BOSE could be a good option to consider first. After a lot of pondering, I kept coming back to the BOSE TV Speaker (Soundbar), because the reviews seemed to be consistent, and the price at around £170 was not too painful. One click, and it was ordered, and then here the following day. Easy to set up via an HDMI Cable connected to the eARC port on the TV, after which the BOSE TV Speaker instantly improved the sound, both in terms of base and dialogue. Even better, it also features a dialogue enhancement option. When that is active, one of the two little LED on the top goes from White to Green. That feature dramatically improves dialogue still further, so much so, that we just leave that on full time. Are we pleased? Yes. Would we recommend this? Yes, without hesitation. The BOSE TV Speaker is an excellent choice that balances price and audio quality very well indeed. You can improve on this, but the cost will rapidly escalate to get anything better.

Amazing sound from just two speakers and decent bass from the inbuilt subwoofer. Dialogue clarity is great too. Only downside I noticed was that using HDMI ARC was the sound seemed more muted and less expansive, but this I believe is an issue with the tv itself due to its age and lack of eARC which I’m told is far better. So bare this in mind if you have a TV that has this old HDMI port. Via Bluetooth the sound is punchy and brilliant, and given that this soundbar obviously lacks Dolby Atmos, but you will already know this when buying it! The Audio can be re-coded to Dolby Digital 5.1 in changing the audio format in Apple TV settings (if you are using one like myself) and it also helps prevent audio lag too. I highly recommend this soundbar and great value for money when on offer, I got this for £189 at the time of writing this review. Looks nice and slick too, as you’d expect from Bose. If you happen to desire far more powerful bass, this soundbar is compatible with Bose Bass Module 500 and 700.

I bought the Bose TV Speaker to boost my TV’s audio, and the difference is incredible. Every crisp detail comes through with total clarity—dialogue, background sounds, even the quieter moments that my TV’s built‑in speakers used to completely miss. It’s a night‑and‑day improvement. Despite its compact size, this speaker delivers rich, full sound that easily fills the room. It absolutely obliterates the TV’s own speakers. Voices are clearer, music sounds warmer, and action scenes finally have the depth and punch they deserve. Setup took only a couple of minutes, and the performance has been flawless ever since. If you want a simple, effective way to transform your TV audio without a complicated sound system, this Bose speaker is outstanding. Highly recommended.

This Bose soundbar is ideal if you are short on space and looking for a simple, great-sounding and compact soundbar. Size of unit: This is the smallest soundbar I could find from a decent brand. Looks sleek and unobtrusive. Perfect if you have a smaller TV in the bedroom or kitchen. No separate subwoofer which saves on space. TV sound quality: No Dolby Atmos (the latest surround sound standard), but it still sounds punchy and clear. I rate the feature to make dialogue sound clearer. If you want to blast out an action movie with rumbling explosions, you will need something bigger with a separate subwoofer. Music sound quality: Sounds fantastic as a Bluetooth speaker and connects seamlessly to my iPhone. Crystal clear and lively sound. Set-up: Very straightforward, plug in and go. It has an ARC connection which means you can connect via HDMI. This means you can control the soundbar via your TV remote. You will need your own HDMI cable though. Alternatively you can use the included optical cable and keep an HDMI port free on your TV for your PS5 or whatever. Value: At £200 I thought this was a great buy. I see it is now £270. At this price point, other options open up. For example, Sony do a Dolby Atmos soundbar for £250, but it is a bigger unit.

Très bon son . On recommande

Leider war in der Lieferung kein Netzkabel für deutsche Stromnetze enthalten. Eine Bedienungsanleitung in deutscher Sprache wäre auch net gewesen.

The sound quality is exceptional. This is an entry level soundbar so the bass is not as impressive as the other ranges. But still value for money for general home use

i loved it .. affordable and excellent sound system through wifi and also used in TV ...

A great small size sound bar that’s a step up from your tv speakers. It’s pricey but if you are looking at good sound at a small footprint this is it. Clarity and mids are the standard Bose level of flat sound. Soundstage is not wide since it’s not the 300 500 or 700 sound bar since it has only 3 driver speakers. If you want those bass shakes this is not your sound bar, if you want that you need to spend more. I knew what I was getting and I wanted something that was a notch above the tv sound and it delivered well! Bluetooth is good and I use an AUX since my tv dosnt support hdmi arc (hdmi audio external) Downside: there is no hdmi pass through. If your looking a wide sound go for the sound bar 300/500 but again that dosnt have hdmi pass through and only optical and hdmi arc support. The 700 is a bit expensive but worth it as a all in one solution and extensions for future subs or rear satellites.
