My best buddy works for bose and got me and my wife one for helping him out. As I didn't have to pay for it I don't have to defend my purchase and can give my honest opinion. It's bloody fantastic, I'm blown away at how bad my TV speakers are, if you haven't got a sound bar buy this one, the speaker will change how you watch TV shows and movie's. I would say its worth £250/$250
This is a great sounding speaker if you have a hard time hearing the voices on a TV show or a movie with sound effects going on in the background. It does sound much better than most TV speaker systems but I have a 14 year old Onkyo 5.1 surround system that blows this Bose away and the Onkyo was $50.00 less. If you are older like me and are having a hard time hearing the voices on the TV than this Bose is for you. I also paired my Note 10 with this and played music with the Bass pumped up which gave a pretty decent sound but nothing to write home to Mom about. My son has a Samsung 3.1 sound bar that cost about the same at Wally world that I would recommend over this Bose which gives awesome movie sound effects.
Great video. I just bought one of these on sale at Best Buy and am really impressed with the overall sound from basically a 2 channel speaker. I just don't have the room for anything bigger and this sounds great for the size.
I saw your excellent review for this Bose TV Speaker so I went out and bought it this week along with the Bose Bass Module 500, that extra subwoofer makes a big difference when it comes to watching movies and playing games. Thanks for all that you do here.
Yeah, I don’t like body rockin bass unless I’m listening to music. My biggest thing is when the total volume profile isn’t balanced… meaning when it startles you with extreme loudness. This little soundbar balance’s the sound profile perfect. Only reason I would consider the bass module is I know Bose usually does very clean bass, while not drowning out mids/lows. Even though this is their “entry” level speaker I would buy this again… not worth the extra $220 for the Bose smart soundbar 300 when they’re basically the same thing… except without WiFi voice activation and Bose back speaker capabilities. If I upgraded I wouldn’t even consider 300/700… I’d go right to the 900 soundbar with that sweet Bose bouncing Atmos technology. I mean people by Bose because they have the best speaker technology, not necessarily the best speakers. It’s based of how the human ear perceive’s sounds and I’m not an audiophile and if it sounds good then idc. Love my Airpod Pro’s they help a little (though not truly accurate depth) with these sound testing video’s. Honestly for most people the Bose TV Speaker and the 500 bass module is more than enough. I don’t need the module for my bedroom and instead of buying it as an add on I would just buy the 900 soundbar as stand-alone
Thanks for the review! I’m thinking about getting this to go with a gaming monitor that has no speakers but does have 3.5mm output. Seems like the cleanest setup possible. Glad to hear you liked it.
I just bought it. Sound is excellent. I am actually upgrading my crapy PC speakers for this soundbar. I would like the subwoofer i listened on the store and sounds so good in open space. now in my room would sound even better!
I have the Solo 5 but preordered this new speaker bcs it had the HDMI I could plug into my bedroom TV’s eRC HDMI. When I got it, it sounded great, a big improvement on the Solo 5 which is also a great speaker. But whenever I turned the new Bose TV speaker on, the speaker had trouble turning on so I returned it.
great video, got this Bose TV Speaker - Small Soundbar with Bluetooth Connectivity every time I turn it on the vol on unit is very low it doesn't stay at last volume sound that I used, my brother has one and he doesn't have this issue is there a settings to keep last played Volume thanks
Can you confirm or deny that the smart features of the app allow you to get more power from your bass module than the TV speaker and the bass module alone? I want a TV speaker and bass module 700 just like you have here for gaming but I don’t want to “leave anything on the table” as far as the power of the bass module with only the bass control on the remote of the TV speaker. If you can squeeze more power from the bass module 700 using a smart soundbar 300 with app functionality then I would rather go that route.
you should have mentioned how it sounded to you in person .. is it worth worth buying without the subwoofer or can the lack of surround sound (dolby atmos) can be easily noticed?
Thanks for the vid. I just got this one and it’s sketchy. It played very well initially hooked up with HDMI. Now it won’t play. I’ve switched connected to the optic cable & removed the hdmi & same thing. I may have a dud. Can you help?
I hate sound bars but this is the best system for my 75 years old parents. Me I’m 39 I prefer a 5.2 channel AV receiver with some good old Infinity speakers! Done and done got my set up for less than 600$ for 250$ Bose is max you want to spend on a sound bar and you get quality sound with out the cheap bass as a cover up.
@Tech Steve Hey Steve thanks for the great video. I currently have a Logitech 5.1 home theater system that is a few years old. Do you think this could be replaced by the Bose soundbar? Of course there is no surround sound. Greetings from Germany. Arkadius
Bought it after this video and another review in my language. Both very helpful and got me the a good decision. Thanks! Have children and except at the two evenings per month, when they sleep at grandparents house, I don't miss an extra sub. Pretty impressive base for a small soundbar without sub. Do you know if I must buy one of that two bose subs, or can I take any active sub, when my children are a few years older and don't go to sleep early anymore? :-)
Not sure if it's me and I'm just getting used to so much bass, but I have the same one and it's almost been a year... The bass seems to have died out like theres not as much as it used to be when I first got it? Any ideas on how to fix it, or any suggestions?
Hello. Thanks for showing the unit. I wonder if it would make a good standalone bluetooth speaker for listening to Internet radio, or maybe playing some mp3 tracks, over a smartphone. Or would a Sony-350 or Samsung-650 be noticeably better? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
@@Gabito21-t4x I listened to the Bose and didn't like the sound. It sounds flat / tinny; and it is too expensive for the sound it produces. I bought the Samsung S61B and I am very happy.
TY for your video... in your video are you referring to a Solo Soundbar Series 2? If so the end of your video suggests that a bass speaker could be added is that possible to add a bass speaker to the Solo Soundbar Series 2 and what kind of connection would I use to make sore that both speakers are connected together. Thank you for your consideration.
Great review. How do you think this version of Bose would be agains the Vizio v51-h6? They’re in the same price range but the Vizio comes with a subwoofer and rear speakers.
Mine won’t turn on, the white lights flash but it won’t stay on or even connect to my tv, I’ve tried unplugging and waiting, does anyone know a fix to this
i would have liked it if you had used a stereo mic so i could get a sense of the stereo separation this unit can or can't provide. otherwise the tone is pretty solid for such a tiny box.
I just got myself an LG Ultragear 32GR93U monitor but I don’t have a hdmi arc output nor an optical port. Will this work if I connect it to my 3.5mm audio jack? I’m really trying to find a solution cause I don’t have built-in speakers.
it doesnt work with the headphone jack the other version of this speaker (it costs $199 i think) has that option this soundbar is amazing, but it only works with HDMI and optical
Good review 👍, I always gets both the pros and cons work your videos. Nice change , trying to make balanced decisions from reviews that just give you the hate is a chore. Keep up your informative balanced reviews 👍👍
I give up trying to pair TV speaker with Xfinity remote. I hate that I always have to use the small remote to turn on audio separately from tv. No xfinity codes work
Is there a read out of the volume meaning can you see it going up from 1 to say 10? I'll be using optical cable to hook it to my Samsung TV. I need to see the nbr the volume is on.
Hey Tech Steve, I just got this speaker as a Christmas gift and I was wondering how I could hook it up to my TV. I have a PS4 Pro and want to have both TV and PS4 Pro sound coming out of this speaker, thanks Tech Steve! Happy holidays!
Hi Steve What’s the best and affordable Bose sound bar for a master bedroom? Trying to decide between Bose 300 or a cheaper model Bose sound series 2? Thanks 🙏🏽
Thanks great video was looks for a great quality sound bar that wasn’t to pricy this is perfect brilliant video straight to the point easy to follow and very informative. Earned a subscriber 👍
Hi tech Steve, I am a UK viewer and subscriber to your channel. Will this work with a Samsung One box connect, that is, can I connect an HDMI Arc cable from the one connect box, to the back of the Bose TV speaker? Many thanks Terry Davis
@@TechSteve thanks for your response. Now I’m deciding between whether I should go for the Bose TV Speaker + Bass Module 500 OR JBL 5.1 with the 550w Sub. Thoughts please?
HI Tech steve, thanks for this video, got a question for you, if this soundbar is connected to the tv, will the tv speakers still play the sounds in sync with the sound bar? Meaning if I have another speaker connected with the aux of the tv, will I be able to play the sound from both the sound bar and the aux at the same time?
When starting my TV and my soundbar, it takes several minutes for the sound to activate. During that time I can only listen to sound from the TV speakers. Do you know why ?
I just watched you review on the Bose TV Speaker- Small Soundbar with Bluetooth and HDMI-ARC Connection. I’m thinking about buying this speaker and was wondering if the sound is better with HDMI-eARC or Bluetooth
How does it compare to the bose solo series ii (from costco)? From what i can tell so far, the solo series ii has no hdmi arc and no sub output. But is the physical dimensions the same? Is the sound quality and internals (drivers) the same?
@@TechSteve many of the guys say it can be paired wirelessly but i havent seen how. Bose said it pairs cable only. I found this out after i made the purchase and no one has a cable long enough in stock.
I just ordered this today on Amazon for 300$ cad hoping to use it with my LG C1 48 inch for Netflix and other entertainment, hope I don’t regret my decision
Is it really bassy with the bass button on or is there not really a difference I like alot of bass for my music, also what is the amp of the sound bar I'm getting this in 3 days 🙂👍😜
Great video man that sounded great. I've had my bose home theater speakers and sub since 2010 probably time for an upgrade lol been wanting one of these for a while maybe someday.
Hi Tech Steve, Do you have a comparison video between the list below and which one is the best ? I’m looking for a system around $230. With eARC 1.SAMSUNG HW-T550 2.1ch Soundbar with Dolby Audio / DTS Virtual:X $227.99 2.Sony HT-S350 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer: S350 2.1ch Sound Bar and Powerful Subwoofer - Home Theater Surround Sound Speaker System for TV - Blutooth and HDMI Arc Compatible Bar $198.00 3.Bose TV Speaker- Small Soundbar with Bluetooth and HDMI-ARC Connectivity, Black, Includes Remote Control. $224.00 Or if you know of another one, please let me know. Thank you
My issues with other speakers is that you cant hear the words very well. Muffled sound..How is this witht he clarity of the words during a show or a movie?
I dont care about connectivity. Its all About quality. Like you hear a difference between hdmi arc or fibre optic cable.. hell no. Just doesnt make sense you say its worth every penny. This bose 5 solo is $139 now
I would go with the solo 5 and save the money. After using the both, I prefer the have the HDMI Arc work with the TV remote and that worth it for me. The sound is very close, so you will love it. If you ever buy a HDMI Soundbar one day you will understand.
@@TechSteve I have the bose 700 + bass module in living room. I just blought a 55” for the mancave and wanted a cheap soundbar instead of using the tv speakers. Getting 5 solo tomorrow. Thanks B

@@TechSteve ok, how about HDMI analog to digital transmitter? Would that be a better option?
I haven’t used any of that stuff, I would get a TV that supports the proper connection
If your tv has optical you could use that
Is it better to connect the tv to the sound bar using the optical cable supplied or get a HDMI cable instead?
HDMI Arc because you can use the TV remote for volume and it turns the sound bar off and on with the TV
Is it really bassy with the bass button on or is there not really a difference I like alot of bass for my music, also what is the amp of the sound bar I'm getting this in 3 days 🙂👍😜
It has great bass but you need a subwoofer if you want to shake the house
@@TechSteve yeah I will be getting it why is it so expensive
Please can you test the larger HEOS Bar and separate Sub ie not the smaller HEOS home Cinema Thanks
Sorry that’s not on my list
Great video man that sounded great. I've had my bose home theater speakers and sub since 2010 probably time for an upgrade lol been wanting one of these for a while maybe someday.
Would your recommend this for use with a 50 inch tv in a fairly small living room?
Sure
Hi Tech Steve,
Do you have a comparison video between the list below and which one is the best ?
I’m looking for a system around $230. With eARC
1.SAMSUNG HW-T550 2.1ch Soundbar with Dolby Audio / DTS Virtual:X $227.99
2.Sony HT-S350 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer: S350 2.1ch Sound Bar and Powerful Subwoofer - Home Theater Surround Sound Speaker System for TV - Blutooth and HDMI Arc Compatible Bar $198.00
3.Bose TV Speaker- Small Soundbar with Bluetooth and HDMI-ARC Connectivity, Black, Includes Remote Control. $224.00
Or if you know of another one, please let me know.
Thank you
Thanks for this review! Clear information
Hi, thanks for the demo. I have a question. Does is compatible with Apple TV ?
It’s for TVs but it will work with the fiber output of a Apple TV
Nice review. If I add bass module 500 to this soundbar, will it be good enough for a 20×20 feet size living room?
For me it would be or spend more for the 300
Very good review! Thank you.
Excellent review. I just ordered TV speaker. Hopefully the bass is sufficient to fill my room ✌🏻
My issues with other speakers is that you cant hear the words very well. Muffled sound..How is this witht he clarity of the words during a show or a movie?
There’s a dialogue button on the remote
Interesting... since you have the bose 5 as well. Wich one sounds better ? And is the new bose 2020 tv speaker worth the extra $100 ??
The HDMI Arc is worth every penny
I dont care about connectivity. Its all
About quality. Like you hear a difference between hdmi arc or fibre optic cable.. hell no. Just doesnt make sense you say its worth every penny. This bose 5 solo is $139 now
I would go with the solo 5 and save the money. After using the both, I prefer the have the HDMI Arc work with the TV remote and that worth it for me. The sound is very close, so you will love it. If you ever buy a HDMI Soundbar one day you will understand.
@@TechSteve I have the bose 700 + bass module in living room. I just blought a 55” for the mancave and wanted a cheap soundbar instead of using the tv speakers. Getting 5 solo tomorrow. Thanks B
That makes so much since now that i have all the details, thanks for sharing
