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 Perfect Incredible clean crisp sound. Could not be happier with this sound-bar

Rated 5 out of 5 by from EZ Hookup Very easy and simple hookup accomplished in minutes by two senior citizens (wife was holding tv while I connected power & HDMI cords) HDMI-earc cable recommended for smart tv's with HDMI-earc HDMI port and is not included. Most HDMI cables after version 1.4 have the earc function built in. This product is a tv speaker and not a soundboard, however, it is a definite upgrade and is a great assist to those hearing impaired having a difficult time understanding dialog. Highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound We are very pleased with the sound quality of the speakers. We bought two and both are great. Still having a bit of an issue syncing to the control on our older tv, but using the small control works raising and lowering the volume.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb sound My husband was having some issues understanding what was being said in movies, etc and I wanted to try these to see if these speakers would help at all. We are so pleased! Word of caution though - I wish the Bose instructions echoed the warning I found in our TV manual of not looking directly in the optical jack as it can damage vision. Luckily, I did not look but I found this out AFTER plugging in.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 280 square foot rv full time living Love Bose. After Bose surround sound in my home, selling and totally downsizing to an rv I knew I wanted Bose. The ability to quickly unplug and stowaway on travel days is brilliant.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound This speaker keeps the sound the same on all channels on the tv. With the tv remote when you changed channels you had to adjust the volume. With this speaker we don’t have to.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! It’s just perfect for my T.V., & saves a whole lot of space. The sound is great. Very clear. Love that it has Bluetooth built in so I can listen to my music from my phone & other devices that are Bluetooth-enabled. Will eventually purchase bass module or surround speakers when I make up my mind. I definitely recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sounbar I purchased this sound bar for an outdoor tv and it has greatly enhanced the sound in the outdoor environment
Date published: 2023-02-05
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow! Completely changed my tv experience. Makes the audio so much clearer, especially on movies where the dialog can get lost. Highly recommend to anyone having trouble hearing the dialog. It also has a surprisingly good bass quality that gives it a nice rich sound. I mounted to the bottom of the tv with some L-brackets for the best sound quality and appearance

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice Soundbar! I’m an hifi enthusiast, but just wanted something small and simple for our bedroom. This didn’t disappoint. It actually really impresses me how good it sounds.
Date published: 2023-01-16
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good sound. Adapts to my TV remote. Good sound. Having some control over bass is great. With optical hook up to TV there was an occasional echo like sound (non sync with tv speakers). Very minor. I wanted the tv remote to control the sound bar anyway so when I hooked it up with HDMI instead, it was resolved. I should mention that the remote is necessary to turn on the voice enhancement which is a very nice feature for someone in my house. Issue: There was one time that "mute" was enabled and I could not turn sound back on. I tried all three remotes (LG TV, Bose, DishNetwork) and it would not turn sound back on. Power off, then power on Bose via remote reset it. Everything works as normal again. All three remotes can control volume.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High Quality, Good Looking I purchased the TV Speaker and a pair of refurbished Bose Wireless Sport headphones. The TV Speaker works great. A big difference if you are looking for something simple to enhance your TV sound. Easy to hook up! The refurbished headphone could have been brand new - no difference here. Incredible sound. As always, Bose delivers. Trusted products that are of the highest quality. Here’s a company where you get what you pay for in a good way! Worth every cent, every time. Thanks Bose!
Date published: 2023-01-16
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple way to upgrade TV sound! So much simpler than a fancy, multi-piece surround system and it fit perfectly on the shelf above our TV and vanished into the decor. Before Bose, every time we turned our TV up either it distorted, or the dialog was still buried. This speaker is so clear and even has a dialog mode. We did not realize how much bass we were missing in our music listening until we heard this speaker. One cable for the TV and Bluetooth for our mobile devices.
