What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Bose SoundTouch 300 Soundbar, works with Alexa

Nice to have a slim design with so much powerful sound and not have additional equipment to accomplish.
This aesthetically pleasing sound system is not only minimal and sleek, but packs some serious sound power.
The features that I was satisfied with include the universal remote, the height of the volume and the size of the product overall.
Perfect size for tv nice and slim.
The soundbar itself is very weighted and sturdy by no means it feels flimsy, the construction is also world-class.

What customers say about "Features"

Bose SoundTouch 130 Home Theater System

Sound is awesome and easy to install.
If you are new to surround sound or looking for a minimal install, small footprint sound solution this Bose unit is going to impress you.
I do like the voice enhancement setting as well as the ability to control Bass, Treble and the Center channel.
It did take a while to unpack and get things set up and is not as easy as some say.
I also think that wireless speaker adapter should have been integrated into the main control center instead of a separate piece.

Bose SoundTouch 300 Soundbar, works with Alexa

Set up was a breeze and the system changes effortlessly between inputs just by powering on the media format you are using.
Great. It was easy to install and sync up with my TV. I can hear clear sound from many points in my open floorplan.
This is a Great product and easy to install. Template is available that makes the installation easy to do compared to other products where you have to do a lot of measurements.
Stereo TV shows as well as Dolby Digital shows, sound great.
Best Soundbar i ever had , Please improve the sound touch app and Voice assistance (ALEXA and Google Home) compatability better and make it as good as the Remote .
Spotify playlists are buried down below (should be the very top of the list).

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Bose SoundTouch 130 Home Theater System

Bluetooth works great for streaming and this unit and remote are attractive and easy to use.
As the system is attached to my WiFi, it plays music from any and all other devices on my network.
The Bluetooth acoustimass module started acting up and lost its Bluetooth connection.
The bluetooth is also incredibly poor.
Beware though, if your subwoofer cuts out, it may be a result of the wi-fi adapter. It causes interference with the signal. After unplugging it, I have had no issues since.

Bose SoundTouch 300 Soundbar, works with Alexa

The Bose soundbar is an excellent speaker that can be used for all wifi and Bluetooth devises.
Love the fact that this soundbar has both, the Bluetooth and wifi feature!
Moreover, it includes Bluetooth with NFC and pairs easily with BT devices to allow video and music playback.
Love that it connects with one HDMI cable. Very good sound.
Do Not Buy This Product if you plan to use WiFi! The set up is insanely complicated -- we have now spent more than four hours and it still does not work and we are experienced with computers and sound systems.
