The sound from the Cinemate 15 is a great improvement over my old sound bar. There is only one issue. I needed to have Bose Tech Support talk me through the setup of the universal remote control because Samsung does not put the code needed in their TV product manuals. Also, the universal remote will not replace the remote for our Direct TV converter box. This is not the only Bose product I own. I have a Bose Wave and the sound system in my Buick LaCross is also made by Bose. Bose technical support has always proven to be first rate. The Technician at Bose was very patient and talked me through the setup process for the remote. There were however, issues with Direct TV's system. The Bose remote will not fully replace all the functions of Direct TV's remote, so I had to make a second call to Direct TV to finish the setup. In the end, I must still use the Bose remote to turn the soundbar on and off if I have not used the sound bar for more than 30 minutes or so because of the automatic time-out circuit in the Bose. If I stick to that limitation, I can now control everything from the Direct TV remote, but not the other around.

I'm impressed that such amazing sound can come from one little soundbar. I've been watching this system specifically for a few years. My local Costco stopped selling it a while back so I thought I missed my opportunity for decent price. I found Adorama's site at Christmas time and I just knew I had to get this. This speaker sits in my family room which is about 454 sqft. The sound is powerful enough and it took less than 10 minutes for me to set up. Thank you Adorama/Bose! :-)

I replaced a 7.1 system with this Bose system and it is by far the clearest sounding sound system I have ever owned. It is attached to a VIZEO 60 in 4K Smart TV and I am quite pleased.

I bought my first Cinamate 15 two years ago, since then I have purchased one for my dad's system and just recently a assisted a friend with his new 15! All of us had different sound bar systems that we were never happy with, enter the BOSE System. Can't say enough about these little power houses!

I love this little system. It sounds bigger than you expect. Well made solid sub & compact center. Setup was a breeze. For setting the universal remote, just watch the Bose universal remote control setup on YouTube. Great option for small to medium rooms. Happy with the purchase & on sale price was great too.

Got this for myself as a Christmas present. Very easy to setup and I was able to program the remote with my 3 components in less than 15 minutes. I grabbed a blu-ray from my collection and it was like i was actually listening to sound effects and dialogue I apparently didn't hear before. My only negative comment would be the lack of a second optical connection as i would have preferred to use optical for both my Blu-ray and tv connections.

I bought this a month ago, as I felt it was the best bang for my buck, especially with the Black Friday promo price. I have always enjoyed BOSE sound more than competitors. I have a Sony Bravia connected via optical cable, and I am please with the sound. At times I supplement the Cinemate's production with low-level sound from my TV speakers, as it broadens the sound field beyond the small sound bar. The Acoustimass module is awesome. I just connected a BOSE bluetooth adaptor via the analog audio cables (as suggested by a BOSE tech in response to another review), and unfortunately it's not working. The Cinemate will not switch to the analog input even when the TV is off, and there is no option for manually choosing input to the Cinemate. I have to manually disconnect the optical cable from the Cinemate in order to transmit the adaptor's signal. For this reason I'm seriously considering returning the Cinemate, as I was hoping to stream music from my phone on a daily basis.

Got one for Christmas. Turned on the Sound of Music. It was amazing, like I was hearing it for the first time. Love it!

I wouldn't believe if I did hear it for myself. Clean, clear simply perfect. I didn't realize what I was missing all these year's. This simple system brings out so much detail. To sum it up...perfect

The sound is great, however programming the remote to connect to my Samsung TV was a pain. It took almost 35 minutes on the phone with Bose to make it work. It recognized the Directv immediately but the TV I kept getting invalid code message.

I was shown this system when I was buying my new 4k TV. Thought it sounded awesome at the store so decided to give it a try. I am absolutely in love with the sound quality and movie watching experience now. The only disappointment to me is no Bluetooth connectivity with blue tooth devices. I'd love to be able to listen to my mp3 player over this system!

This was my second purchase from Bose. I was so impressed with my wave radio when I wanted a sound bar for my tv I went back to Bose. It was very easy to set up and the sound quality is outstanding. The only issue I had was the remote control. No problem with my LG tv. But it would not prgram to my Directv Box. Still a wonderful product.

I bought this set up to replace my old 6.1 Pioneer receiver and SONY speakers. It is a Christmas gift to myself with a new LG 4K TV. It looks like this system is the new version of the 3-2-1 system from a few years back. The sound quality revivals that of a big component sound system. The system also is easy on the eyes and has a small foot print, which was a huge selling point for me looking to downsize and get rid of the clutter and wires. The MSRP is reasonable as well, but I got it for 30% off from BEST BUY brand new in the box. Thanks for making great sounding and great looking products. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

One of the best sound system i ever bought, the sound catches fire and make us feel the vibrant. There will not be any opponent for this system in this segment in the nearby future. The quality of the system makes us to feel the real magic of music. The system not delivers sound it delivers the magic of music. Thanks bose.

This is amazing clarity and audio quality. The only thing is that the remote control programming instructions is missing one last step. To save you lots of time, make sure after you followed the instructions provided to program your Bose remote, you also press the "Volume Up/+" button on the remote.

The One Remote that actually works everything!
By Jimiwater
Only purchased the Bose CineMate 15 because it was the only soundbar that was hard wired to the subwoofer. We have a wireless router and micro cell tower beside our tv. Not good place for the wireless "other" system we first tried. The Bose works great and is easy to connect. The best feature is the Awesome Remote. Wow...finally ONE remote that works everything! It is easy, just like Apple's products. The remote now turns on/off my TV, Dish and Bose with one button. Can still use the dvr with...

Simple Sound
By WizMedic5
The CineMate 15 is an amazing little system to provide you with complete sound from your TV. Specifically, it's low profile complements today's trend of simple entertainment systems, without skimping on the sound quality. Take a little time and tweak the Acoustimass Module, program the remote, and learn the functions and you will be glad you made the purchase. We have a very simple set up, with the Xbox One providing all the AV input to the TV via HDMI (you can hook your cable box up to the X...

The Bose Cinemate 15 Black Home Theater Speaker System is the simplest soundbar home theater system from Bose, delivering full, impressive sound from your TV. You'll enjoy spacious, detailed home theater sound from the compact soundbar, while the Acoustimass module provides the deep bass that brings whatever you watch to life. The result is clearer, more powerful sound from your TV. While the system fills the room with sound, it doesn't take up much space. With its small size, it fits easily in front of your TV. And the Acoustimass module can be conveniently placed out of sight. The soundbar connects directly to your TV, so you don't have to reconnect all your components. It's easy to program and use the universal remote to control your TV, cable and more.
