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.

Pros2

Was skeptical towards sound bars. Crisp and detailed sound. My only regret is that after hearing the great sound quality, i wish i would have went with the 9 series version.

Subwoofer works with other yamaha sound bars. Plug in the sub woofer and it pairs to the sound bar. Great sound quality.

Cons3

It's almost like the amp circuitry was forgotten. If you just want the cheapest one, with only ok sound — then this is your product.

The sound is out of sync with the tv. Tried different streaming platforms, same result. Every now and then a defective product gets past quality control.

Going to costco to get a nice sounding bose soundbar. They aren't exceedingly bad, but they are only one tier above the worst out there.
