Pros and Cons

Pros3

This is the second bose sound product i've purchased inthe last month. The first was a new ultra soundbar with base module and surround speakers. Still delivers a great audio quality, which is expected from bose.

The quality and performance of this unit is outstanding. It is the perfect soundbar for your average size living or bedroom. Great, especially considering townhomes have shared walls.

The sleek design seamlessly complements my tv setup. I love its short stature as it actually fits under my smart tv which is just sitting on a console so not much clearance. The only complaint i have is it was taller than the tvs edge.

Cons5

It's clear that they are done with not just innovating, but simple providing a most basic option for projection. Instructions from bose are severely inadequate. Do your research outside of bose supported review boards.

The sound only comes out of the subwoofer 50% of the time. The audio will randomly drop for 3-4 seconds every hour or so. Hated the sound on this thing.

After multiple attempts it seems to have synced. Customer support online is baffled by this with no answers. Trying to call the helpdesk was a waste of time.

Tv randomly shuts off while connected to the bose. It refuses to operate with the tv remote, no mater how many times we reset it. Maybe the provided hdmi cable is incompatible with lg tv.

Side speaker singular wouldn't power on at all. Frustrating and overly complicated having to download the app and open an account.

Pros3

The bass is tight and punchy and the voices are clear and planted on screen.

Surprising amount of bass without a subwoofer.

The design of the sound bar is very sleek but the bright color is a bit easy to notice dirt and yellowing. This sound bar sounds like it is twice the size at least; very full sound especially in the midrange.

Cons3

Sounds good but volume at 100 isn’t even that loud. It changes source and turns the volume up full bast, by itself, repeatedly. It's completely unusable because of lag.

Product still under warranty. Only operated through remote for 2 months. Its a real bummer. It's so infuriating.

It drops its wifi connection whenever the unit sleeps or powers off. When it reconnects, it haphazardly connects to whichever of my satellites it wants. The only way to fix this is to power off the living room satellite and wait for it to reconnect to...  Read More
