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

Excellent audio with consistent levels
This is my third and hopefully final soundbar in my hunt for something that just works. I did a bit of research that landed me on the Bose TV Speaker. This is for a living room with a 20′ ceiling and a TV mounted above the fireplace. With young kids, the TV is usually on their shows during the day or mom and dad trying to watch something in the evening. We aren’t looking to be fully immersed in booming action movies, dialogue is the focus. The last one I had would drown out dialogue with background music and I was always trying to adjust the levels. This is perfect, I don’t have to fiddle with it and it does a great job of staying consistent and I never have an issue hearing dialogue. It connected easily to my Roku TV and even supports Roku TV integration, allowing me to adjust things through the TV interface. I like that it’s relatively small while packing powerful audio. The only problem I had may have been due to my TV – when I connected to the Bose over Bluetooth it messed up the hdmi-arc connection and my TV was no longer powering the Bose on and off, I had to factory reset the TV to resolve this and I haven’t tried the Bluetooth connection since. Bottom line is that I didn’t want to spend more than $200 and I just wanted something that would just work – apparently that is a unicorn in today’s age of soundbars – and the Bose TV Speaker is that unicorn

Know what you want
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 TVA few ending notes1. 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 me2. 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 better3. 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 remoteCons:- Not a substitute for a full surround system if you want immersive multi-channel audio- Won’t match a dedicated subwoofer for deep bassWould recommend if you want an easy, reliable upgrade from an older compact Bose unit — great for improving everyday TV sound without fuss.

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.

Indico a compra. Satisfeito com a aquisição
