Good, But not great

 

I listen to this every day. It has two optical ports which helps in addition to a 3.5mm audio jack. For the 1500 it's good for what it is. Compared to other surround systems that bose has for 2500+ you can see a clear difference. Basically if you want...

(((((((( LOVE IT! ))))))))

 

After hearing this system at a FutureShop demo I was really impressed with the sound and the magic of invisible speakers I thought I was hearing. I do agree with one reviewer about TV speakers always toting great surround sound blah, blah, blah and...

Overpriced, and under performs!

 

This Bose product is around 2.5 - 3.0x more expensive than all other soundbars on the market. However, you are not getting 2.5x - 3.0x the sound. What you are stuck with, is buyers remorse from spending 3.0x the amount, to receive this overpriced sound...

AT&T Uverse Remote Incompatibility

 

The Bose Cinemate has good sound but it has a large clunky remote that I really don't want to use. I've tried to program the "AUX" button on my AT&T Uverse remote to power on/off, volume up/down and mute for the Bose Cinemate. It just fails to control...
