    Product Description

    The simplest soundbar system from Bose. Dramatically improving your TV sound doesn't have to be complicated. The CineMate 15 system delivers the sharp, full audio you've been missing, with deep bass you may have never heard from TV before--all from a compact soundbar and hideaway Acoustic mass module. How does a soundbar no longer than a ruler create such a wide soundstage? The four-element speaker array inside works with Bose TrueSpace signal processing to spread sound well beyond the speaker itself. The effect is more like being in a theater, immersed in the action. And if you're playing a video game, the virtual world becomes even more real. While the system fills the room with sound, it takes up very little space. The soundbar fits right in front of your TV and connects with just one cable. Your other components can stay put and connected as is. And the Acoustic mass module can be conveniently placed out of sight. Practically no impact on your room. But the way you experience TV will be forever changed. While you're enjoying the newfound clarity and spaciousness the CineMate 15 system brings you, you'll also notice something entirely new--sounds you can feel. From the pulsating rhythm of a bass guitar to the dramatic effects of an action movie, you'll finally discover the low notes your HDTV couldn't come close to reproducing. All from a hideaway Acoustic mass module you can place almost anywhere in the front of your room, even behind furniture. The universal remote is likely the only remote you'll need for all your sources-Blu-ray Disc player, cable box and more. It's easy to program and easy to use, and it reduces remote clutter. Included: Soundbar (with attached speaker cable), Acoustic mass module, Power cord, Digital optical cable, Analog cable and Universal IR remote with 2 AA batteries.

    5 Stars
    Amazing balanced sound.
    I've always preferred quality with everything I purchase. So I read reviews for weeks before deciding which to go for. I had a Vizio 5.1 Soundbar, which was alright. This bose with just one tiny Soundbar and a sub killed the Vizio. Some people said the bass on the cinemate 15 is too weak. I realized that placing the sub sideways, against the wall, and the vent facing another wall, made the base sound fuller, double than when the sub was placed by my tv. Sub placement matters with any unit with a dedicated subwoofer.

    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.

    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.

    Great sound quality.

    The remote is very stout and of great quality.
    Center speaker is awesome; it is incredible the sound this thing pumps out. I have it wired through an optical cable and the speaker is fantastic.
    Subwoofer is powerful, yet not too overbearing. I have the system setup in a room that is rather open, and I still feel like I can hear the sound from behind me (like a surround sound); yet there is only one speaker!!

    Here is why, I gave it 4 stars. The connecter that goes from the speaker to the sub has Bose's own plug on it. I purchased this thinking the speaker was wireless (my mistake for not researching further). I wanted all the wires in my new setup to be tucked into the wall out of sight. This task was not possible with the Bose wire as it has its own plug on it. So, I think what would make it 5/5 stars is to have a different connector (such as an optical to connect the speaker to the subwoofer; that way I could easily buy proper coated wired to be run through my walls.

    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.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2017

    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'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

    Buscaba algo practico y de poco espacio para la sala de mi departamento y complementara con la nueva pantalla, este Kit de Bose (el primero de que compro de esta marca) es realmente bueno. La calidad es muy buena y el precio de promoción mucho mejor, no requiere demasiado espacio y la conexión super básica nada complicado. Lo ideal es hacer uso de la interfase óptica para mejor calidad, con el equipo viene uno pero tal vez es mejor adquirir un segundo cable para conectarlo a la TV.
