Professional reviewers praise the Bose TV Speaker for its ultra-slim profile, straightforward HDMI ARC/optical setup, and strong dialogue enhancement, positioning it as the top budget soundbar for 2025. They acknowledge its expandability with a wired subwoofer but note the lack of built-in bass, Wi-Fi, and Dolby Atmos as clear limitations compared to higher-end Bose models.
Everyday users consistently highlight the ease of Bluetooth pairing and the clear speech improvement for everyday viewing, while repeatedly mentioning confusion over listed dimensions and a desire for deeper bass. Overall sentiment is positive for basic TV audio upgrades but tempered by expectations for more robust low-frequency performance.
Professional reviewers and editors are not present in the available sources; official Samsung listings emphasize the compact design, built‑in woofer and easy TV integration but provide no independent editorial assessment.
