Pros

Easy to set up once you have unpacked and identified everything. The initial configuration requires calibration to your specific room. This is normally handled manually via a receiver, proper speaker placement, and skilled technician pulling it all to...  Read More

The price. If your viewing area real estate is at a premium, these are worth consideration. Everyone complains about the price for this system well then dont buy it!

This sound bar is powerful enough to rattle pictures on my walls. Get this sound bar to minimize the tv's presence in a room, while maximizing the sound quality. For you bose haters out there, if your going to buy a sound bar you have to try out the c...  Read More

System uses a unique audio calibration called adaptiq. This is a pair of headphone/microphones. Makes me think that the setup is really able to calibrate and measure the acoustics of the room.

The bose cinemate mimics surround sound very well. It works best with a large screen, cost-no-object home theatre. The audio reflecting technology provides a great surround sound feel.



Cons

Bose soundbar is over-priced and over-emphasized. The back ground sound effects are over amplified to the extent that they make it difficult for us to listen to character dialog. Secondly, the reflective nature of the surround sound just simply disapp...  Read More

Price

Price was in my range for a quality surround sound.


Yes, i agree the price is up there but to my family's ear i believe i made the right decision in purchasing this unit.


If it’s in your price range, i recommend it.

Packaging/appearance


Adaptiq audio calibration system set up was easy enough and after the setup, the sound which comes out of the soundbar and subw...  Read More


I had placed this bar in horizontal position before i wall mounted it and had run the adaptiq, the sound was completely messed ...  Read More


Setup was really easy, i just hooked up the sound bar, plugged the acoustimass into the wall and it was set.


) to reduce the surrounding volume and only keep the mids up when i need them (especially at night), i somewhat solve that by p...  Read More

Competitiveness


Other than that this is a great soundbar and easy to install.


Highly recommend - although more expensive than other brands - as is bose tradition - i think it worth the price - sound perfor...  Read More


As pointed everywhere true surround cannot be achieved with a soundbar, but this one can do almost 180 degrees steering and wha...  Read More

    Kind of defeats the purpose of the speaker if you cant watch netflix movies or listen to pandora with the speaker


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I know it says keep other wireless devices away from the speaker but most internet tvs these days are wireless


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However i think this would be true of any system we would have purchased


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This would have been a great feature so the user could wear headphones and connect with the system


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I do have 2 qualms after spending a hefty amount on this system bose has not worked in any bluetooth compatibility and there is no wall mount included


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not only do they average 34 times more expensive than any other brand but the cheap stuff that should be included just isnt there


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
