First time posting - please be gentle.

This is the cheapest price to date according to camelcamelcamel.

I was recently looking for a small-sized soundbar as I had a $250 JB Hi-fi voucher and came across this speaker and ended up purchasing it. In general it has some pretty good reviews across sites and it was a huge upgrade from the sound from my TV, particularly for dialogue which I was focused on as I live in an apartment and a deep bass sound wasn't my priority.

The same speaker is also available at the below stores if you want to try and get further discounts using gift cards/vouchers/cashback:
■ JB Hi-Fi - $399 (Price Match $297) - Call through to get a price match to Amazon
■ Bose Store - $299.95 (Expired)
■ Myer - $319
■ Videopro - $297

Features
■ Hear your TV better - Designed with simplicity in mind, the Bose TV Speaker is a small soundbar that clarifies speech and is a simple fix for better TV sound
■ Wide, natural sound - Two angled full range drivers deliver a more realistic, spatial audio experience for overall better TV sound from a small soundbar
■ Enhanced dialogue - This TV speaker is designed to specifically focus on clarifying and elevating vocals and pronunciation
■ Bluetooth TV speaker - Pair your device to this Bluetooth soundbar to wirelessly stream your favourite music and podcasts
■ Simple setup - A single connection from this compact soundbar to the TV via an optical audio cable (included) or an HDMI cable (sold separately) has you up and running in minutes

    Great work on your first deal. Very thorough. Thanks for contributing to the community.

    Also, regardless of how good your deal is, you can always expect someone to come in with disparaging comments like "I saw it cheaper in 1992 at a garage sale" make sure you disregard these people.

    • cameronthom on 16/07/2021 - 19:13

      They don't have a separate subwoofer but you can connect one. For purely the bass, I probably would go with a different soundbar/speaker!

  • ChatCPT on 16/07/2021 - 19:08

    • cameronthom on 16/07/2021 - 19:19

      I've heard good things about Yamaha soundbars and were considering one before I picked up this one. My main focus was definitely for the dialogue hence my pick but
      for the price range of soundbars you're looking at, I don't think it'd make a huge difference.

      • ChatCPT on 16/07/2021 - 19:20

    • noshopping on 16/07/2021 - 19:55

      I went from the last generation Bose Solo 15 TV speaker (this model which has deeper bass/etc: https://www.whathifi.com/us/bose/solo-15-soundstage/review ) to Yamaha YAS-108B.. The YAS-108B is better.. Probably about 20-30% better in sound stage, clarity, etc. The BOSE is excellent for those who just use TV speakers, but compared to Yamaha, it's not as good (in my opinion).

      • Qbagger on 16/07/2021 - 20:04

        Just to clarify, do you mean the Yamaha is better for music source vs tv/movie source? Cheers

        • noshopping on 16/07/2021 - 20:12
          +3

          When watching movies, documentaries and playing games, I found it better. The Yamaha surround when enabled makes a larger sound stage and is more crisp. But do remember the Solo 15 is an older generation model so they may have improved it since… In my opinion if you already have the Yamaha YAS-107/108B there's no need to upgrade. If you have neither or looking for something smaller, this Bose is a good deal. (Bose is 59cm long whilst the Yamaha is 89cm! So about 30cm longer…

          According to this page, the Bose TV speaker is 50 watts output - https://www.amazon.in/Bose-838309-5100-TV-Speaker/dp/B088VYX…
          The Yamaha YAS-108B is 120w - https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/yamaha-120w-soundbar-yas-108b

          • Qbagger on 16/07/2021 - 20:36

            @noshopping: Thanks for the detailed reply! This Bose is reviewed really well on US Amazon etc

      • ChatCPT on 17/07/2021 - 14:55

        thanks heaps mate. Exactly I knew I'd regret this buy. Will wait for another Yamaha $150ish deal!

    • zachshaus on 17/07/2021 - 22:12
      +1

      The Bose is clearer, sharper, better for dialogue, better in a smaller room like a bedroom and can only be expanded with the more expensive Bose subwoofer, around $500.

      The Yamaha has a wider sound stage, better in a larger room like the lounge and can be expanded with just about any subwoofer, a used good match would cost $100-200 off Gumtree.

      I never used my YAS-108 in wall-mounted, forward facing orientation so always found it a little muffled.

      They’re not really in the same price league but the $800 Bose setup is pretty good.

  • berger on 16/07/2021 - 19:24

    These little sound bars are compatible with the bass module 500 & 700 and the surround speakers work great too.

    • Omarko on 16/07/2021 - 21:26

      The 500 module is like $500 … that makes it $800 setup which is crazy expensive.

      • berger on 16/07/2021 - 21:31

    Get a 2nd hand 5.1 system and I bet you it will sound better.

    For example:

    1) Acoustic Audio AA321B Mountable Indoor Speakers 400 Watts Black Bookshelf Pair -$54
    2) 2nd hand 5.1 receiver - ~$100

      I was stuck with JB Hifi due to a gift card which only had the SR-B20AB which didn't have amazing reviews.

      For the Yamaha Range like 108/109 or better, if you want more bass or features I would definitely go for that. The key point for me was size and dialogue as I live in an apartment and don't want to disturb my neighbours so worked for me!

      • xtraterrestrial on 17/07/2021 - 11:50
        +1

        I have the YAS-108 and honestly would only look to upgrade if I get a dedicated entertainment room or have the space to warrant a sub.

        It has more than enough oomph and since Yamaha have upgraded the mobile app, config is much easier. I don't even know where the remote is, control is all via the TV and EQ tweaks via mobile.
