Bose Professional VB-S, All-in-one Video Conference HD Camera, Noise-reducing Mic, and Hi-Fidelity Bluetooth Speaker for Home, Office, or Classroom

I have used soundbars in the past and they were much larger than this one here. Adding in that this is not just a soundbar, but a teleconferencing tool that has a camera and microphone, my expectations were tempered. But I was curious enough to try a used version of this device.I've used a PolyCam branded teleconferencing soundbar that is about twice as large in my work and that was my point of reference to base this review on. When unpackaging the device, the first thing I noticed was this is small. At around 10" by 3" by 2", my expectations were much more tempered. There is a large power brick in the box, with a very long USB-C cable. Getting it set up took about 5 minutes for me.My PC immediately recognized the device and drivers were installed automatically (Win-10). I connected to the native Windows camera to test the quality and I can say that it is pretty darn good. I've used a Logitech StreamCam before and the Bose matched it pretty well. The Bose intelligently tracks the person speaking, zooming in on the source of the audio. Jumping onto Discord, I had a good 5 minute conversation with a friend where I didn't have to manage anything extra. No extra microphone, no extra speakers, no pausing one device so that it wouldn't interfere with the other. It just worked.A bit later, I tested the Bose to two other speaker options. Test #1 was with a Samsung LCD monitor where I played some music to get a baseline. Test #2 was against a pair or Logitech 2.1 speakers to hear what the music sounded with some bass. The verdict? The Bose delivers a surprising amount of bass in that little box. This might be the best soundbar I've used and I have used some beefy and large ones in the past. I'll need to test them side by side to get a better idea.

Great sound, a good camera and works with Logitech roommate. Better than a logitech meetup for 1/3 the price

This is more of a room type camera. Didn’t work well with my desk top. Also mic is a bit meh.

Poor resolution camera and poor mic. Tried it for a small room. People on the other side complained of blurry picture and poor audio when the speakers were sitting 10 ft from the mic. Bose is not an expert on video, so should continue only on speaker systems.

I was slightly skeptical to buy this because of some of the reviews, but this is a great computer soundbar. I like this better than the much more expensive AVER's in my other offices. The sound, video and microphone quality are all very great quality.

This Bose Professional VB-S is the hilarious hero of video calls—it's like your laptop grew a pair of rockstar lungs and a crystal ball! Audio? Boom—voice clarity so sharp, even my cat's meows sound like profound TED Talks, while noise-canceling mics banish dog barks and kids' chaos into oblivion. The 4K camera? Chef's kiss perfection, making me look like a polished pro instead of "bedhead edition." And Bluetooth streaming? Instant party mode for breaks between meetings. It turns soul-sucking Zooms into actual fun—five stars for slaying virtual awkwardness! 🎤😂
