Excellent compromise
Very good product. Used for my home cinema (15m2 room). The sound is good for dialogue and even for music.
- The sound is good for dialogues and even for music, but lacks a bit of bass, but without a subwoofer it's normal.

Poor price/performance ratio
From the special offer price two years ago (Fr.99) up to Fr. 299. I think Digitec is really cheeky!
Pro
- Good solution for small space
Contra
- Never, ever justifies the price of Fr. 299.
Tip-Top
Fulfils its function perfectly
Absolutely recommendable
In a Kassensturz test last year, a JBL soundbar was the test winner. So I thought that this small soundbar couldn't be bad either. Actually, you shouldn't buy a TV that doesn't have at least one front-facing speaker. But manufacturers are now focusing on slim design, and so an entire industry has profited from the fact that the speaker quality of TVs leaves a lot to be desired.
With its 35 cm width and attractive design, the JBL Boost TV is absolutely recommendable.
Installation is very simple. Plug in the power cable, connect with jack plug 3.5 mm (headphone socket) or optical and off you go. If you also want to listen to music from your portable device, a Bluetooth interface is available.Pro
- Design
- Simple installation
- Super sound with small dimensions

Pity...
The device cannot be paired with the new devices such as JBL Charge 4. To do this, you would have to update the old devices via an app, but the Boost TV cannot be connected to the app!
Mr
very good product nice sound check the review on youtube
Pro
- nice sound
Contra

Good boxes
Very good sound
Pro
- Good sound
- Easy handling
Contra
- Must be connected to the strim
An excellent choice to enrich your hearing experience without breaking the bank
I connected the JBL Boost TV to an LG PF 1500G projector, whose audio quality is far below the video quality. With this add-on, we have for a reasonable price a much better sound quality.
Pro
- Multiple connections: Bluetooth, fibre, analogue
- Compact and almost "invisible" in white
- Controlled by the projector remote control
- Adequate sound quality
- Minimalist but effective packaging
- Digitec has just protected the original packaging with a transparent plastic film
- All necessary cables included
Contra
- Undeclared energy consumption information at Digitec
- Mains cable for UK supplied extra
Supper
Good sound. Used for watching TV.
Pro
- Optical connection
Not a sound miracle, but still ok for smaller rooms
If you don't want to spend an exorbitant amount of money to improve the sound quality of your TV, this compact soundbar is a good choice. Dialogues are very well understandable, even if the sound reproduction is not of hi-fi quality. The switchable virtual surround effect is also ok, even if it doesn't really fill the room. This 2.0 stereo unit has trouble reproducing films in 5.1 sound format. But this is probably a problem with 2.0 systems in general. (It's a shame that there are DVDs and Bluerays that only play 5.1 sound).
Pro
- good price-performance ratio
- Compact and elegant design
- Easy pairing with both the TV and DVD player remote controls
- Optical input (Toslink cable included!)
- Acceptable surround effects in smaller rooms
Contra
- No sound miracle
- Trouble reproducing 5.1 sound
- Bluetooth is actually a useless extra gadget with this sound quality
Good price/performance ratio
Really great box.
Pro
- very easy to install

Exactly what I wanted, the line-in problem can probably be solved with a better cable or maybe it's the connected device.
It does what it is supposed to do. With an equaliser, the thing would be top.
Pro
- Cheap
- According to
- Lots of bass
- Bluetooth pairing super solved
Contra
- Noise via line-in cable (sitting in front of the box was hardly bearable, with a little distance it worked)
Bluetooth top, cable flop
Looks cool and has a good price-performance ratio.
Unfortunately, the sound performance is not so optimal when the signal comes via the cable. The sound is great via Bluetooth.Pro

- Cable sound weak
Very good for rooms up to approx. 20m2
It's good for rather small rooms. Not enough powerful bass for my large living room.
Pro
- Beautiful design
Contra
- Too weak for large room
I am very satisfied
I bought it second-hand because it was a bit cheaper and I was looking for a cheap speaker for my workshop. It is connected to my PC via a 3.5mm jack, but most of the time I listen to music via Bluetooth, which works without interruptions and with very good sound. The volume is great and even when it gets louder, it sounds very clean and pleasant. It's just a shame that it doesn't have deep bass, but generally I'm happy with it.
Pro
- Very good sound
- Sufficient bass
- Bluetooth connection is very stable
- Many connection options
Contra
- Expensive
- No deep basses
Good product, satisfied !
Worked like expected. Good song and ergonomie. Correctly synced with my TV remote-control of a Bravia Sony TV screen. Quality is full and with good bass song. Easy to connect with other Bluetooth devices like iPhone.
Pro
- Bass rendering
- Easy to setup
- Good design
Contra
- Need placed front of TV to always work with TV remote-control
I am thrilled, absolutely top!
Fast delivery and top product at an absolutely reasonable price! Thank you!
It's ok
It's ok, the frequency response is not at its best for frequencies corresponding to men's voices (e..g. not optimum for listening speeches).. otherwise it does its work.
Overall quite good for its price.Super price-performance ratio!
The speaker was a temporary solution because my soundbar with subwoofer stopped working. Of course, without a separate subwoofer, the bass sounds meagre, but the rest of the sound was crystal clear and, although this soundbar is not as wide, the virtual surround sound works very well.
Another plus point is that the speaker is capable of learning, which means it can learn to read the TV remote control and apply commands like on-off or volume up/down as well. This means that you hardly ever need the loudspeaker remote control.Pro
- Crystal clear sound
- Learning loudspeaker
- Small dimensions
Contra
- Bass sounds meagre
Recommendable at any time
Excellent price/performance ratio. Especially when you compare this speaker with pure Bluetooth speakers. After all, the system can also be used as such (without TV). Sufficient for TV sound in normal-sized rooms. A bargain for this price.
Pro
- Price
- Power
Contra
- Of course, not a large system with a huge sound

Good sound! We are very satisfied with the "small" speaker.

Certainly not a bad buy as a simple TV sound unit!
I had previously used a Samsung Soundbar 2.1 with 350W power and took it down again because it was too big, too ugly and had too many functions.
I am fully satisfied since I paid 99CHF.
For 199CHF I would probably reconsider, but it wouldn't be a bad investment.Pro
- The JBL is very easy to use. Even children can cope with it.
- The sound is clear and the bass is rich.
- It is not big and is handsome.
Contra
- only available in black

excellent solution!
Actually, the JBL Boost TV is a BT speaker with digital input and the missing decoder for surround formats. However, the leine Boost boosts quite nicely and improves the sound of the TV significantly (the brands that advertise good sound with flat TVs are deceiving the customer :) )
For me, the Boost fits wonderfully in front of the TV - but I would be careful, depending on the height of the TV, it may cover part of the TV (height 8.4cm).Pro
- easy setup
- Optical cable included
- Remote control can be "learned
- Significant sound improvement on the TV
Contra
- External power supply unit - it will be tight in the power strip
