Condition: New

Bose TV Speaker is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 35,000, brand new and sealed. This compact soundbar measures about 59 cm wide and 5.6 cm tall, so it fits under most televisions from 40 inches upward without blocking the picture. The Bose TV Speaker uses two angled full-range drivers and a centre tweeter, connects to your television through HDMI ARC or an optical cable, and streams phone music over Bluetooth. A remote with a Dialogue mode button comes in the box. Collect yours from Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order for delivery.
Built for families, retirees and football fans across Kenya, the Bose TV Speaker fixes the thin, muffled sound most flat-screen televisions produce. Modern sets are so slim that their built-in speakers point backwards or downwards, and voices get lost under background music. Viewers end up raising the volume during quiet scenes, then lunging for the remote when an advert blasts. The Bose TV Speaker brings speech forward with its centre tweeter and Dialogue mode. Evening news bulletins, Kiswahili drama series and Premier League commentary on DStv or Showmax become easy to follow without turning the volume up for the whole household.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell soundbars with no setup help, Mascom International walks you through connecting the Bose TV Speaker to your exact television before you leave. Customers across Nairobi tell us the biggest change they notice is hearing words clearly at a lower volume, which neighbours in Kilimani and Westlands apartments appreciate. A single HDMI cable usually lets your existing TV remote control the volume too. Every unit is sealed and carries a 12-month warranty serviced in Nairobi CBD.

Common Questions About the Bose TV Speaker
What is the Bose TV Speaker price in Kenya?
The Bose TV Speaker costs KSh 35,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. That price includes the soundbar, a remote with its battery fitted, an optical cable, a power cord and a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you check the box before paying. An HDMI cable is not part of the Bose package, so budget for one if your television supports HDMI ARC.
Should I buy the Bose TV Speaker or the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker?
Buy the Bose TV Speaker if your main goal is better television sound; choose the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker at KSh 32,000 for portable music around the house. Both are in stock at Mascom International. The TV Speaker plugs into the wall, connects to the television by HDMI ARC or optical cable and has a remote with Dialogue mode. The SoundLink Home runs on a battery and connects mainly over Bluetooth, so it moves between rooms but suits phone music better than films.
Will the Bose TV Speaker survive KPLC power cuts and voltage surges?
The Bose TV Speaker runs from mains power and has no battery, so it switches off during a KPLC outage along with your television. When power returns, it comes back on with the TV. Voltage spikes after a blackout can damage any electronics, so plug the soundbar and television into a surge protector or a UPS. Mascom International sells UPS units if you want the TV and soundbar to keep running through short outages during a match.
Who should buy the Bose TV Speaker, and who should skip it?
The Bose TV Speaker suits households that mainly want clearer voices on news, series and football, especially older viewers who struggle with dialogue. It is not for buyers who want Dolby Atmos, DTS:X or sound coming from overhead, because it supports neither format. Gamers wanting 4K pass-through will also miss out, since it has no HDMI video input. Movie lovers with a large lounge should look at a bigger Bose soundbar with Atmos support instead.
Will the Bose TV Speaker work with my older television or DStv decoder?
The Bose TV Speaker works with most televisions sold in Kenya over the last decade through HDMI ARC, optical or a 3.5mm AUX cable. Look for a port marked HDMI ARC or Optical on the back of your set. A DStv, GOtv or Startimes decoder plugs into the television as usual, and the TV passes its sound to the soundbar. Older sets with only RCA audio outputs may need a converter, so send us a photo of your TV's back panel on WhatsApp.
How does Dialogue mode on the Bose TV Speaker help?
Dialogue mode on the Bose TV Speaker brings voices forward so speech stands out from music and sound effects. You turn it on with a single button on the included remote. It helps during news bulletins, talk shows and dramas where actors whisper under a loud score. Viewers with mild hearing loss often find they can keep the volume lower with Dialogue mode on. A separate Bass button on the remote adds extra low end when you watch action films or concerts.
Can I add a subwoofer to the Bose TV Speaker later?
Yes, the Bose TV Speaker has a dedicated port for a wired Bose Bass Module 500 or Bass Module 700 subwoofer. The Bass Module Connection Cable is sold separately. This lets you start with the soundbar alone and add deeper bass later when your budget allows. For most living rooms in Nairobi flats, the soundbar on its own fills the space well, and the Bass button on the remote covers everyday films and football.
Can I play music from my phone through the Bose TV Speaker?
Yes, the Bose TV Speaker streams music from any Android phone or iPhone over Bluetooth 4.2, with a range of about 9 metres. That means Spotify, Boomplay, YouTube Music or a Mdundo playlist can fill the lounge when the TV is off. It has no Wi-Fi, so it does not support AirPlay, Chromecast or voice assistants. The Bluetooth button on the remote lets you switch from TV sound to phone music without touching the bar.
Technical Specifications
Audio Hardware
- Two full-range drivers angled outwards — spread sound wider than the bar itself, so the whole sofa hears clearly.
- Centre tweeter dedicated to speech — places voices in the middle of the picture where faces appear on screen.
- Dialogue mode on the remote — lifts voices above background music for news, talk shows and quiet drama scenes.
- Bass button on the remote — adds extra low end for action films, concerts and goal celebrations.
- Stereo playback only — no Dolby Atmos or DTS:X, so it suits voice clarity rather than overhead cinema effects.
Wireless Connectivity
- Bluetooth version 4.2 — pairs with any current Android phone, iPhone, tablet or laptop for music playback.
- Wireless range of about 9 metres — control playback from the kitchen or across a typical living room.
- Bluetooth button on the remote — switch between the TV and a paired phone without leaving your seat.
- No Wi-Fi connection — setup needs no app, password or router, just cables and a power socket.
- No voice assistant or streaming casting — music comes from your phone or the TV apps instead.
Wired Connections and Power
- HDMI ARC input — one cable carries TV sound to the bar and usually lets the TV remote set volume.
- Optical digital input — the fallback for televisions without HDMI ARC, with the optical cable supplied in the box.
- 3.5mm AUX input — connects older TVs, laptops or a music player through a standard headphone-style cable.
- USB port for service use only — used for firmware updates, not for playing music from a flash drive.
- Mains-powered through the supplied power cord — no battery, so it runs whenever the television has power.
Build and Durability
- Size of about 59.4 cm wide, 5.6 cm tall and 10.2 cm deep — fits on most TV stands and cabinets.
- Low height keeps clear of the screen — the bar sits below the picture without hiding the bottom edge.
- Black finish with a perforated front grille — matches most television frames and dark entertainment units.
- Indoor design with no water rating — keep it away from open windows during heavy rain or coastal spray.
- Closed front with no exposed drivers — wipe dust off with a dry cloth every week or two.
Controls and Remote
- Remote control included with battery pre-installed — operate the soundbar straight out of the box.
- Volume, mute and input buttons — move between TV, Bluetooth and AUX sources in one press.
- Dedicated Dialogue and Bass buttons — change the sound balance mid-programme without opening any menu.
- Television remote compatibility over HDMI ARC — many sets let one remote handle picture and sound together.
- Light bar on the front — shows the selected input and volume changes at a glance.
Expansion and Mounting
- Bass Module 500 and Bass Module 700 support — add a Bose subwoofer later for deeper low notes.
- Bass Module Connection Cable sold separately — needed only when you add one of those subwoofers.
- Wall bracket available separately — mount the bar under a wall-hung television for a tidy look.
- Works on a stand or on the wall — the same unit suits both setups in apartments or larger homes.
- No HDMI video pass-through — the bar receives sound only, so consoles and decoders plug into the TV.
Package Contents
