The Bose TV Speaker improves upon the best-selling Solo 5 system. It is notably louder, has clearer dialogue, and overall improved acoustic performance. It also adds HDMI-CEC connectivity to be compatible with today’s A/V equipment and your current TV remote. Lastly, the Bose TV Speaker has a sleeker, lower-profile design, preventing it from blocking the bottom edge of the TV.

Yes. The Bose TV Speaker improves upon the Dialogue mode of the Solo 5 System, so now your dialogue is even clearer for TV and/or podcasts. Dialogue mode offers enhanced speech and pronunciation. It analyzes what you’re watching, separates the vocals from other audio elements and amplifies them. Additionally, the Bose TV Speaker allows Dialogue mode to be set as “persistent,” so you no longer have to enable it every time you turn on the product.

Yes. The Bose TV Speaker can be wall mounted with the Bose Soundbar Wall Bracket (sold separately). This is the same current bracket that is used for the Bose Soundbar 500 and 700.

The Bose TV Speaker is designed for use with almost any TV with an optical audio output (optical cable included) or HDMI-ARC connectivity (HDMI cord sold separately). Most HDTVs are also HDMI-CEC enabled, meaning if you have such a TV and connect your Bose TV Speaker with an HDMI cable, you can continue using the same remote control you are currently using.

Yes. You can enjoy your music and podcasts streamed wirelessly from a Bluetooth-enabled portable device that supports streaming.

Yes. The Bose TV Speaker can play music in synchronized 1-1 connection with any Bose smart speaker or soundbar using Bose SimpleSync technology. This functionality is being controlled by the smart speaker or soundbar in the Bose Music app. Note, you cannot connect a pair of headphones to the Bose TV Speaker for synchronized audio/video grouping.

Compatible products: Bose Home Speaker 500, Home Speaker 300, Bose Portable Home Speaker, Bose Smart Soundbar 900, Bose Smart Soundbar 700, Bose Smart Soundbar 600, Bose Soundbar 500, or Bose Smart Soundbar 300.

No. If you want to listen to your TV with headphones, you should use the TV’s headphone output. Many TVs have a headphone output.

No.

If your TV is HDMI-CEC enabled, you can connect the Bose TV Speaker to your TV using an HDMI cable (sold separately) and continue to use the remote control you are already familiar with to control your TV. HDMI-CEC will allow the Bose TV Speaker to automatically turn on when you turn on your TV and your existing remote control will control the Bose TV Speaker volume.

If you connect the Bose TV Speaker to your TV using the supplied optical cable, you can use the included remote. Or you can program a third-party universal remote to control (please refer to your universal remote control for programming instructions and the appropriate Bose IR codes). Also, the soundbar can be programmed to “learn” the volume and mute commands from your existing remote. See Using another remote to control your Bose system in the Bose Support section for instructions.

However, for music streaming, you need the included remote to place your Bose TV Speaker in Bluetooth mode and connect your Bluetooth-enabled device for the first time. Once connected, you do not need the remote moving forward. You can go to your Bluetooth settings and “force connect” from previously paired devices.

You can simply “force connect” your previously paired device to the Bose TV Speaker by going to your device’s Bluetooth settings menu and selecting the Bose TV Speaker. This will automatically switch to the Bluetooth source. It will also turn on the Bose TV Speaker if the speaker is off and put it into the Bluetooth source.

The Bose TV Speaker is Roku TV Ready™ certified. That means the TV Speaker is designed and certified to work seamlessly with a Roku TV™. When you connect your TV Speaker to a Roku TV™ through the HDMI ARC port, you’ll enjoy smooth, automatic setup, easy access to the TV Speaker sound settings in the Roku TV™ on-screen menu, and compatibility with the Roku TV™ remote.

The Bose TV Speaker may require a software update to support Roku TV Ready™. Roku TV Ready™ is not available in all regions. For more information, visit: go.roku.com/rokutvready.

Roku TV,™ Roku TV Ready™ and the Roku TV Ready™ logo are trademarks of Roku, Inc.

Yes. There is a bass level adjustment located on the remote control.

Yes. You can connect the optional Bose Bass Module 500 or Bose Bass Module 700 to the Bose TV Speaker via a wired connection. This requires the Bose Bass Module Connection Cable or a standard 3.5 mm cable (sold separately).

No.

No.

Any device with an HDMI-ARC, optical, or analog audio output can be connected to the Bose TV Speaker. However, we strongly recommend that customers only connect the TV Speaker to the TV’s output, so sound and picture will always be in sync.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from TV Bar is Excellent BOSE Products are always the very best. Once you plug this TV Bar in and it produces its sound vs the sound that the TV was producing, it is night and day. Thank you for continuing to produce the best equipment for enjoying entertainment and sound!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from For TV, not for Home theater I bought this speaker direct from Bose, for the extended 2 year warranty and the 90 day in home trial. I've had it set up for a few days and it is exactly what it says it is. A quality sound system for TV viewing. It has great voice enhancement and definitely adds bass when compared to the built in speakers on my Sony Bravia TV. It is not a surround sound system or a Dolby Atmos system. It does process Dolby Digital very well. The build quality is exceptional and the sound is on par or better than the Sony soundbars WITHOUT built in or external subs. This speaker is easy to setup, un-obtrusive in my TV set-up. Yes it is a bit pricey and you are paying a bit more for the Bose name. But, I've owned other Bose products in the past, most recently the Bose Solo 10 pedestal speaker, which i am using still today and am very happy with. For me it is a personal choice to use this brand. To all the Bose haters out there, i would just say you should take these products for what they are: well made , easy to use, easy to setup consumer products for the average user who is not an audiophile, but looking for decent and immersive sound for TV, and not trying to rattle the windows with earth shattering sound.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound for speech I bought this hoping to improve dialogue on my tv. It has lived up to expectations. l was able to set it up to be controlled by my Tivo remote. Sound bar turns on and off with the TV. Now I can hear dialogue and my likes that she is no longer translating for me!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Listening is a pleasure again This is the best sound bar that I have ever had! Being hard of hearing, the technology afforded me makes listening a pleasure again. No distortions and I am able to understand all of the conversations, which to someone like me, is a huge improvement over other speakers. Thank you for providing quality sound bars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best sound I’ve had since I’ve had my Frame TV! I found this online and I liked the price. But the best part of all is the great sound I’m getting now! I had a B&O soundbar that was too large, and I still had trouble hearing the TV. I’m really so happy the new Bose. I have a small travel speaker I take on vacations, and my Noise Canceling Earphones I use on every flight. I’m sticking with Bose from now on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent quality We purchased this soundbar as a Christmas gift for ourselves! It is everything we had hoped - easy to hook up and sounds great. The only drawback is that all the obnoxious commercials have to be muted because they come in clearer and louder than before!!!!! All in all, we are extremely happy with the soundbar and have added it to the several other Bose products we have purchased over the years!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better for Understanding Dialog I bought this Bose about a month ago, and it works better than the ZVOX I have been using for a couple of years. The dialog is easier, but not quite perfect, for me to understand with the Bose. The overall sound quality of the Bose is much better.
