Do I need a subwoofer with this bar?

Can I add rear speakers?

Yes. It pairs with Bose surround speakers and the Bose bass module for a fuller setup.

How do I connect it to my TV?

Use the included HDMI cable to the TV's eARC or ARC port, or the optical cable if HDMI is unavailable.

Owners rate it 4.4 out of 5 and mostly praise clear dialogue, a wide soundstage and simple one-cable setup. Criticism centers on modest bass without a subwoofer and on the Bose Music app during setup.
