Customer Reviews:
- Great sound, poor connectivity. The sound is brilliant. However, the set-up is not simple, and the network connection keeps dropping. Also, the App is really 3rd rate and should be able to sync with iTunes.
- Love the sound and makes the media center complete. The sound is absolutely marvelous! I called Bose directly for their installation service, and they provided a paid installation service that came to my home and hooked up all my components, TV, video, receiver, etc., very professionally and all on one remote! Worth having them do it! Love the sound and makes the media center complete!
- Not Enough inputs to take advantage of This Otherwise Great System. Cannot Connect older Bose wired Speakers.
- Bose, vale tudo isso? Um produto de fácil instalação e com o som de qualidade, porém achei um produto muito caro para o som que produz, qualquer outro produto faz bem próximo pela metade do preço. Install very easy and good quality sound, but I found a very expensive product. exist other similar products for half price.
- This is a great wireless Bose sound System. Besides it being great, if you are really a user that likes to hear music and watch movies very loud, I would not recommend this system. I would go for a more powerful sound system from Bose. I have a SoundTouch 30, and it sounds better than this Bose Lifestyle Single bar System.
- Sleek, simple, and wonderful sound. Setting up the system couldn't have been easier, and the sound is excellent. I am completely satisfied. I love being able to have the acoustimass module anywhere I want it, not tethered to the soundbar.
- High Quality! I really like it, good quality and nice shape. I have done a lot of search and believe this is the best. When I got it, I know I made a perfect choice! Well done me!
- Definitely recommend! Bass could be a bit louder, but I understand the normal person probably wouldn't want that. Pure sound out of the soundbar is awesome!
