Excellent Value
As a former audio salesman, I used to have to sell against Bose. It was tough because even though we all knew there was some electronic “trickery” going on, the product sounded good. Twenty years later things haven’t changed much. This particular unit (refurbished) is hands down, a great buy. I’ve tried numerous other brands but they all had their drawbacks sonically. The Yamaha had decent volume but was way too muddy for my taste. The Energy Soundbase was not bad but being a base-its way too deep for my application. I’ve also tried non-amplified center channels from Definitive and JBL. Both had their own restrictions. This unit is clear, has ample bass (you will still need a sub though) and sufficient volume. But for just flipping on the TV and casual listening, Bose has won me over…after many years.Read full review...

Nothing your tv does not already have.
For starters, the product does not have hdmi connections or any audio out connections for sub woofer. The bluetooth has to be paired instead of just connecting to it. You can get sound bars with these features for 1/4th the cost of this one new. I purchased this one refurbished for 99 dollars plus tax and could have gotten one with the features like sub out for only 69 dollars new.The sound is nothing great either and since you can't connect a sub to it might as well stay with the tv speakers.Read full review...

GREAT SOUND
I am very please with the purchase of the Bose sound bar. Glad I jumped off the fence about it. The set up was super easy with a couple of connection options depending on the type/age of the TV. I love most that the sound is not the OLD movie theater BOOM, it’s more subtle yet very noticeable. The surround sound quality is on just another level, sophisticated. Everything I’d expect from the Bose brand. Read full review...

Typical Bose Quality
I got an awesome deal on this product so that will influence my opinion compared with somebody who really forks out some cash. I like the design. Its fairly small. I have a 43 inch television and this tucks into the TV quite nicely. The metal type build is quite nice. Its sleek, small and has a nice look to it. Besides its from Bose. What else to say.
Now to the sound quality. If your looking for an awesome soundbar experience you won't find it in this product. Bose is well aware of the market. You get what you pay for. If you want added base, strong watts and all of that you will have to go up the price points like everybody else. If you want a soundbar with good sound and much better than TV sound this might be the soundbar for you. This soundbar has really nice voice emphasis. There is a button on the remote that really enhances the voice quality. That is probably the best sound feature that I have noticed. If you are looking for extra base I think you will be disappointed. It does emphasize base when you want to much better than your television and sounds quite good. It doesn't come close to the upper tier soundbars that have the same feature.
To conclude. This is a well made Bose soundbar that I would purchase again. To me the price was the determining factor. Its well made, sounds much better than the TV sound and looks quite nice. I would recommend if price is important. Read full review...

Does the trick - good quality and features
Great for voice/vocal clarity - lack a little in bass. This is perfect for a apartment but would be better as a center-channel in a larger home. Features are great, however I wish there was an indicator on the bar itself of what level the volume is. Unless I'm mistaken, theres just a power/activity indicator but doesnt show you level.Read full review...

Great Price for aQuality Sound Upgrade
I purchased this for a second tv in my basement tv room. I have a surround sound system hooked up to the larger tv and use it most of the time. I bought this sound bar because I wanted to improve the audio when I am watching and listening to the second tv. It looks great and is a huge improvement over the tv speakers. It was available refurbished and I didn’t care that it didn’t have an HDMI input. I used the optical cable that came with it to connect to my tv. The 2 year guarantee that was included makes this perfect. For what a mediocre sound bar would cost, I was able to add the quality of Bose. Read full review...

Great quality sound bar - Happy!
I bought this sound bar to supplement the sound of my smart TV in the lounge of a second residence. It's definitely worth the money and has great sound and bass for watching sports, movies, live shows etc. Love the bass adjustment function on the remote (which allows you to increase the bass) and also the voice setting, which allows for clearer speech when watching sports or talk shows. It also has bluetooth which is great should you wish to also use it for music through your smart phone. I am a bose fan and have many of their products. I like to buy a product specifically intended for its use (e.g. Bose Soundlink Mini speaker to take outdoors, Bose NC700 headphones for noise cancelling music. However I have noticed some reviews saying that they are not overly happy with the sound on this Bose soundbar, however if you are trying to use it as a karaoke speaker station or sound system for your outdoor pool party, it's not that answer. BUT, if you want an amazing sound bar to boost the sound quality of your TV experience and listen to music in your lounge with punchy bass, and not pay and arm and a leg, then this is an amazing product and I would highly recommend!Read full review...

Great for a space up to 700 SF
Owned this product for a few weeks, and it's working fine, like it was brand new. I would have more to say about the product after a few months or even a year; however, compared to the UE Boom 2 we were using this sound bar is an improvement. I had ceiling speakers in my property on all my public rooms, but those did not prove useful when it's about an isolated living room space, especially, for watching movies. Therefore, for a space that is around up to 700 SF, this is quite useful. I had B&O systems and Sonos (+ Bose ceiling speakers) in the past, but realistically, this option is the most affordable. One cannot even tell the difference between the brand-new vs this refurbished version. The plus side is that eBay provides the additional 2-years Allstate warranty. Read full review...

Great sound ! Like new ! Love Bose!
I have been wanting a Bose sound bar. I love the quality of the Bose products. I have a few different items
that they make and I have been really happy! This sound bar has been on TV and I wanted to get it but my
budget didn't allow for the brand new. I am happy to find this refurbished unit at the price I paid. It looks like new and works flawlessly. I have had experience with refurbished items and find that they are better looked over than the items on the shelf, so I felt comfortable purchasing this sound bar. Read full review...
