Working on level of bass
Have had this about a month and am satisfied with it but wish there were some bar or something that would show how much bass you have it set at. Might have had it set too high as got a lot of vibration but not sure. It seems to be okay now but not sure I have it set where it should be. Working on it.

My first Bose product ever
Very disappointed in Bose - takes at least 15 to 30 seconds for the sound to come through the speaker after turning on the TV
I do not understand why - you can contact me if you would like

The TV Speaker.
It's a very good speaker, though I have it just 4 stars. The bass to me is quite satisfactory. However, I wish the instructions for how to increase or decrease the bass was a bit more clearer. I think I had to learn the proper way outside of the Bose instructions. The button just has to pressed once, and then quickly, press and hold either the volume up or down until th...

The sound is great.
I do love this bose speaker and it works very well. However, it is not on the bose app and I have to regulate the sound of the music to the actors' voices by the remote.

Defiintely better that the built in Samsung frame speakers, however it does not always connect when the TV is turned on. I frequently have to turn the Bose remote on again to re-connect. I did NOT have this problem with a previous Sony sound bar.
I wish you had the extra bass speaker available on sale...even as a re-furb. Current price WAY too much. Would be willin...

Very good sound
Sound is better than my former Sonos sound bar and Samsung Smart TV programmed it to respond to the hand controller without my having to do anything. Only issue is that power goes off after extended period of non-use and the only way I have been able to turn it back on is with the Bose controller. Would be nice if there was a way to do it with the Samsung controller, ...
