Our verdict

A tidy soundbar and wireless bass module system for a living room that wants fuller TV sound without surround speakers. Wi-Fi streaming needs an extra adapter, and Bluetooth is not mentioned.

Overview

Not a surround system with speakers around the room, the Bose CineMate is a slim soundbar paired with a wireless Acoustimass bass module that can hide out of sight. A small console takes four HDMI sources and shows which one is playing.

Clean setup is the case for it: one bar, a hidden wireless bass module and a single remote for the whole system. Streaming needs a separately sold adapter, and the listing gives few audio specs.

Who it's for

Households that want movie and sports sound with minimal clutter get a bar, hidden module and console run by one remote. Home theater fans after true surround should look at multi-speaker systems.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Wireless bass module hides away
  • Console handles four HDMI sources

Cons
  • Wi-Fi streaming adapter sold separately
  • Bluetooth not mentioned

Performance notes

Room-filling sound comes from the bar's driver layout spreading audio wide, while the separate module handles low notes so the bar can stay slim. Bass placement is flexible because the module connects wirelessly.
