Bose CineMate 15 Home Theater Speaker System, Black

I honestly had no idea what I was missing until this. I recently got a new 48" Samsung TV on sale during one of the pre-black friday sales. I had the TV but decided that although it gives out much better sound than your typical flat screen, it was missing something. Did some research on sound bars and most of them were too big to fit on top of my dresser.Then I saw this thing. It was on sale, and apparently retail value is something along 600 dollars or so. I got it for 319 before tax, and shipping was extremely fast. Next day delivery. I could not be more happy with this sound system. It does exactly what I wanted it to do, and despite the reviews saying that Bose isn't worth the money, blah blah blah, it's definitely not true. I would gladly buy another one of these for our living room, but we already have an older sound system in there.The sound quality is great, and bass is out of this world awesome. For a compact system with a super compact yet amazing sounding sound bar, the Bose Cinemate 15 wins it for me.

I wanted a simple sound system for my television and blu ray player. This system fits the bill and delivers a nice crisp sound for television or movies. You get plenty of volume from the sound bar which is only a foot long. The Acoustimass Module gives a great deep bass sound. The Acoustimass Module also has a bass adjustment knob on the back of the unit if you want more bass. Another nice touch was the sound bar has 3 types of inputs on it, optical, co-ax and analog. I ran my blu ray player and 2 gaming systems with Monster Black Platinum HDMI cables to the TV and then ran a Monster optical cable from my TV to the sound bar. I also was able to hook up my Sony CD player directly to the sound bar with Monster RCA cables to the analog input. Good quality cables do make a difference. You can also program the Bose remote to run all your devices. The instruction manual has all the codes you will need to program the remote. I run my system with a Harmony remote which is good also. This is a great simple system for a decent price.

Was satisfied with a few other used Bose items I ordered from this supplier. Older Bose rocks. New Bose sucks from my prospective. Soundbar was dented/crushed and I was surprised they sent me this which they said was in mint condition.

Easy, simple and great sound with clarity. When this came out a few years ago, it was out of my price range. I recently found it on sale and it is worth every penny. Its not a jack of all trades sound bar, but what it does do, it does exceptionally well. I do wish the subwoofer was bluetooth. With this little system, you do not need 7 speakers in your room for great sound. I am a sound snob and I am 100% satisfied with this system. I did try a much cheaper vizio system before buying this and the vizio was complete trash out of the box. Do not waste your time on anything else if this is your price point for a tv speaker system. As for the reviews that say this system is not loud enough, those people should run, not walk to their nearest audiologist and get a hearing test. This system gets loud without distortion with booming base.

I thought about it a lot before I bought this Model Bose. Bose In my opinion has a great reputation for having a Superior Product but you will pay dearly. For 549$ I thought as a good price. I always read the bad reviews to cut the " petty ". I have to Say This model Bose Is far superior to My Samsung sound bar that now resides In my Kitchen and Is a good Fit for a little 19 Inch TV.The Woofer does indeed give you that wonderful KICK! when Action Dictates. Lil Woof when needed. I only turned It up a little less than half way and I am happy. The Other sound from this small speaker Is also Incredible. I have to say Yes You will be happy. Keep In mind My ManCave Is maybe 15x20. If you have a larger room? Maybe you need upgrade.If I have to say what I don't like: The sound Is the sound. You can not adjust treble or Bass. OK OK you can adjust the Bass volume. It Is what It Is. You can no change the Vocal For example the way you can the others.... Sports, Cinema, Movie, Press Know what I mean? You also can not see the volume. It Is a light thst blinks hen you see the volume up or down. What I do Is turn the volume up to where I like. I turn only TV Treble until I like. I am hard of Hearing!..lol I know I like It when wife asks me turn It down.I ill say YES to a small or Medium room. Then Again I have yet to let IT RIP! If I have a chance? I will buy one for living room TV

This system is wonderful. I have no problems with it. Sounds absolutely amazing! I live in an apartment and did not want a big 5 or 7 point system because I don't have the space. This does the trick and sounds just as good as the bigger systems. Easy to install as well. And the best part is that the universal remote works with my Samsung TV, Bright House Cable Box and Xbox 360. The only system it doesn't work with is my Xbox One. This is most likely due to this Bose system being available before the Xbox One was released on the market so there is no program code for the gaming system. I have never had the opportunity to game with surround sound and it is awesome. Makes you feel right in the action. And watching tv is wonderful as well. Much better than the crappy standard tv speakers. Bass is adjustable on the back of the Sub so you can dial it as high or low as you like.

I've had the previous Bose cinemate GS II, to replace a 5.1 surround sound system, I quickly fretted and sold it to my brother. He enjoys the sound, from it more then me. Anyways, I decided for long time sake why not give this a try? It's worth every penny but...If your coming off a 5.1 to a 2.1 system. It'll take time for your ears to realize there is no sound behind you.. This system is amazing, it does sometime feels there is sounds coming from behind. Although, it's subtle it can still be noticed.. I wouldn't recommend buying if you truly are wanting to replace a 5.1. This or other 2.1 systems can never replicate the experience.For my needs, I'm getting used to it and it sounds nice loud and the quality is premium so, you do get what you pay for. I was very impressed with the system
