 Bose - SoundTouch® 300 soundbar - Black
Bose - SoundTouch® 300 soundbar - Black
The SoundTouch® 300 soundbar looks slim. But the sound? Anything but. That’s because every cubic inch of it is packed with technologies that make everything you listen to or watch sound clear and spacious. It starts inside with custom-shaped speakers that keep the profile low and pump out big sound. QuietPort™ technology virtually eliminates distortion so you hear surprisingly deep bass. And Bose® PhaseGuide® technology makes you believe you’re hearing sounds where there are no speakers. On the outside, the glass top and perforated wrap-around metal grille make the soundbar look as good in your room as it sounds. And with both Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® technology built in, you can wirelessly stream music any way you prefer. ADAPTiQ® audio room calibration from Bose ensures the soundbar sounds the best it can in the space you put it. HDMI™ connectivity with 4K pass-through keeps your system compatible with the most current technology. NFC provides quick and easy pairing. The SoundTouch® app gives you simple control over your favorite music. Works together with other SoundTouch® speakers so as you go from room to room, your music goes along with you. Includes a universal remote so you can control your other devices, too. Available in Black

This unit is just what I needed for my garage. Plug in or battery, Bluetooth, aux in and a radio. Even comes with a mic that I immediately hid from my kids! Has decent sound (better than most of the higher priced portable Bluetooth speakers). Plenty loud enough for the garage and driveway area. Can't beat the price for what you get!

Replaced my cisco modem that was provided by Charter (that I had to reboot every other day). Never have to reboot this one and I get excellent throughput with my base station and wifi extender.

Works well, better than having to use the USB cables attached to the PS4 unit. Kinda goofy the way the controller attach to the unit, but it works well.

4K looks amazing via Netflix or Amazon Prime, and load quickly. The built in apps are great and the TV responds well when switching between inputs/apps, and HD signals look great too! Highly recommend this TV for the bedroom or small living room, the 43" screen size is perfect. The free remote control app for your phone is pretty slick as well. Can beat the price for what you get.
