Smart Ultra Dolby Atmos Soundbar, All-in-One Surround Sound System for TV, A.I. Dialogue Mode, Alexa and Google Voice Control, HDMI eARC, Black

Bought this for my girlfriend's home TV. Made an immense upgrade in sound performance over the TV's built-in speakers. She was amazed at the quality of sound. Bluetooth connectivity for external devices (mostly my Android phone) is easy and solid. Sound quality is superb, if a little light on bass. Far superior to stock TV speakers, and easier to set up than a dedicated surround sound setup.

I have upgraded from Bose 600 Soundbar for my TV hence installation was a breeze. Install Bose Music app to setup the Soundbar. Bose 600 Soundbar is already an amazing soundbar and this soundbar fills the gaps in the room with louder sound in more spots.Pros:1) Bose devices can connect to each other wirelessly which is useful for playing same music in multiple rooms or to have a personal experience on a device like your Bose Headset for the same content.2) The sound is loud enough for any size room and will definitely fill the entire room with sound. Lot of times you will be confused whether someone is really ringing bell or the sound is coming from the soundbar, its that real.3) AdaptIQ makes the job of tuning your soundbar to your room and your situation (furniture etc blocking the sound) seamless. There is an option to disable AdaptIQ if required.4) Like Bose 600 you can integrate TV and Soundbar control through HDMI ARC connection using a single remote. Typically I don’t use Bose Soundbar remote at all.5) Also like Bose 600 you can control Bass, Treble, Center/Height Chanel, group multiple devices, add audio delay, select source, power on/off, update firmware, enable/disable many setting including Voice Control/Chromecast through the Bose Music app.6) Premium look and feel and heavier than Bose 600.7) Wireless option to add rear speakers and bass module.8) Support for Voice control like Google/Alexa, cast audio from phone/laptop using Bluetooth or Wifi. Dolby Atmos and Upfiring speaker which help with situation like Rain fall will feel like its raining in the room. AI DIalogue mode are some of the great features.What I wish for:1) Soundbar (atleast for 900/Ultra) should be sold with the Bass Module as that really completes the thunderous sound experience as this product is primarily for larger rooms.2) This is the first time that it took me more time to put the power cord on the back of the soundbar. Not sure whether the power cord I received was the right fit for the socket.3) Switching/Changing wifi is a pain when it doesn’t work in the first attempt although there are detailed videos on Youtube from Bose with instructions. Something as simple as a tiny wifi reset button on the soundbar would help.

The Bose Smart Ultra Soudbar is beautifully built and finished. Though compact, it provides phenomenal sound quality.Let me tell you, the setup was so simple - it took a single cable to hook to the television!There is a remote control that covers the basics, including powering the bar on and off, adjusting the volume, playing and pausing content, and selecting your input.After I put the soundbar in position and connected to the TV with power, I downloaded the "Bose Music Control" app, which is free for iOS and Android. This app gives you control of the soundbar and puts you in charge of the Adaptiq automatic room calibration system.The Smart Ultra Soundbar is compatible with Amazon Alexa and works with Google assistant if the appropriate smart speaker is on a common network. I didn't explore integrating the other Bost speakers, but it appears to be possible.There is a touch control on the top surface of the soundbar if you want to override the integrated microphone. If you leave the voice enabled, it is quick and easy to get what you want from the Bose simply by just asking. I'd say that I was impressed by the reliability of responses to my request. Apple AirPlay2 is available and Chromcast is built in. Also, you don't have to toggle to use the voice feature.The system essentially calibrates itself to your environment quickly and accurately and has plenty of control options. When it comes to sound quality, immediately the sound is very clear and reasonably balanced. We are audiophiles (record collection, love movies, amateur music room in home) and while dialogue enhancement and bass features are both available, I didn't need to use right away. I believe this is due to the True Space feature.It was hard to believe that such dynamic sound came from the compact soundbar, but I've had the Bose CD system for years. The spatial audio that comes from the bar is impressive. I didn't notice a significant difference in space and height of the sound, which was a concern initially after reading other reviews.You can utilize HDMI, ARC and wireless Bluetooth connections.Be prepared to have everything you watch feel like you're in an enhanced movie type of setting.One of my kids was playing the game while the soundbar was on. I was absolutely and thoroughly entrenched with the effects and he was thoroughly surprised that I had interest. It was the Bose sound.The unit comes at a reasonable price, especially considering it feels like you're on a quality soundstage.The package was delivered to my office and I was able to carry it. It fit across the backseat of my vehicle and set-up was easy.

Update: It’s past the return window, and I have to sell this now to recoup some of the cost. I just can’t get a reliable connection to the sound bar. All connection options have been exhausted, and it’s just frustrating the family that I’m the only one that can diagnose the issue. It can take several minutes after turning it on to make it work.Original review:The audio quality is great. It comes with a headset to adapt the sound to your room environment, which is great.There is just one main jarring problem. It has a horrendous process for setting it up. You can not plug it into your TV and have it will magically work. You must use your phone to set it up with bluetooth. You must register the device. You must set up a Bose account, and accept their terms of use/privacy. You must connect the speaker to the Internet (fortunately it does have Ethernet). By default, it didn't automatically turn on when the TV provides ARC functionality through HDMI (I had to adjust a setting in the app to make that work). The provided remote is pointless when the functionality is primarily expected to be used through the app, which makes it hard to diagnose audio connection issues for family members that don't have access to your phone.Bose, your speaker has 1 job to do! Be a reliable speaker, and it's trying its hardest to not be a simple speaker. It doesn't need to stream music because I have an app for that. I don't need it to be a digital assistant and listen to me through a microphone.I appreciate the sound quality and the ability to use a reliable wired subwoofer connection with a standard 3.5mm cable. I appreciate the room calibration process. I appreciate the easy to clean audio grill (not hard to dust fabric). I can live with configuring through bluetooth, if it didn't also require an internet connection. Everything else is superfluous that gets in the way of enjoying great sound in a family home. This speaker seems to be built more for a tech-bro bachelor that doesn't share a family TV.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Let me be blunt: the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar in White is not a soundbar. It’s a statement piece, an audio flex, and—if you’re like me—a borderline obsession. ✅ Why This Soundbar is in a League of Its Own: • Dolby Atmos Performance: The immersive surround is otherworldly. Movies, music, even YouTube—everything sounds like you upgraded to a private cinema. You feel the detail in the air, not just blasting at you from the front. • Voice Clarity that’s Unreal: Dialogue Mode and the custom-tuned center channel make speech perfectly crisp, even when explosions are happening in the background. No more riding the remote volume button.• Pure Aesthetic Pleasure: The white finish is chef’s kiss. Modern, bright, and impossibly elegant. It doesn’t just disappear under your TV—it elevates the entire space. I’ve had more than one guest say, “Wait, that’s a Bose?”• Smart Features that Actually Work: Alexa and Google Assistant built in, AirPlay 2 support, and seamless integration with Bose Music App. No clunky setups or lag—just instant connectivity. ✅ Pro Tips for Peak Experience: • Pair it with the Bose Bass Module 700 and Bose Surround Speakers 700—trust me, you’ll never look back. The low end will shake your soul in the best way. • Use Dialogue Mode for streaming and late-night sessions. It keeps vocals crisp without waking up the entire house. • If you can, mount it just below eye level for that floating, gallery-like presentation. ✅ Why It’s 5 Stars—No Debate: • White colorway: stunning and rare in a sea of black rectangles • Unmatched clarity and warmth in every frequency • Rock-solid build that feels premium the moment you unbox it • A setup so clean it looks pulled from an Architectural Digest spreadBottom line: If you want luxury sound that feels as good as it looks, this is the bar to own.5 stars—Bose proves yet again why they’re the standard everyone else is chasing.

I subtracted one star for set up, which was a nightmare. It does not work with iPhones, and you cannot set it up without the phone. I spent hours on the phone with senior tech support. The issue is Bose platform is unsecured and iPhones block all access to unsecured sites, so you can't move forward in the app. Then, the Bose and TV weren't in sync, one was on, the other off. Using HDMI you cannot see decimals for sound (true for any soundbar using HDMI), and that's annoying.Sound is exceptional! I got it to be able to hear words/speech. It totally does that! I no longer read the subtitles. And I am young, I do not have hearing issues. I am very much enjoying it, after the nightmare set-up.

The soundbar provides excellent sounds from our new TCL QM8K television. We are older and hearing voices from the television shows was becoming more and more difficult. The voice enhancement is excellent and we can now hear almost every word.. The surround sound features are also outstanding. We added the Bose Bass Module 500 to increase the bass. Overall the soundbar and bass unit are great in our 18 foot x 20 foot living room.

Great quality of sound. Multiple speakers. Big room filling sound. Bose Theater quality. Great price !! .

I absolutely love the Bose Ultra Smart Soundbar! On its own, the sound is clear, powerful, and immersive, but adding the Bass Module 700 and OmniJewel 700 rear speakers makes it truly shine. The bass adds deep, rich impact without overpowering the room, and the rear speakers create a beautiful surround effect that makes movies, music, and shows feel like a full symphony. Voices are crisp, the sound feels balanced, and the whole setup looks sleek and premium. It is definitely an investment, but the experience is worth it. I’m very happy with this purchase and would absolutely recommend it!

Excelente producto de gran calidad

I followed the guide on setup using the Bose Music App which launches from a QR code you get in the box.Then I tested out audio playback on the Soundbar several ways.Using TV with audio playing on the Soundbar via ARC connection - it automatically stops using the TV speakers and routes audio to the soundbar - can support up to 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos playback.Using Apple TV going in to the TV input with audio playing on the Soundbar via ARC connection - it automatically stops using the TV speakers and routes audio to the soundbar - can support up to 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos playback.Using iOS Apps connecting to Airplay 2 to play audio on the Soundbar.Using iOS Apps connecting to Bluetooth to play audio on the Soundbar.Using the iOS Bose Music App to play Spotify audio on the Soundbar - there are awkward and limited menus here but it does work.Using the IOS Spotify App to play music on the Soundbar - you have to turn off Use Local Devices Only to see the Soundbar as a choice. A quirk when using the Spotify App exists where to initially start playing on the Soundbar you want to start playing audio on the iPhone first and then switch over to the Soundbar as the Soundbar doesn’t seem to connect if there isn’t an audio signal already playing.Each way of connecting worked, but I will most often use the Spotify App or Apple TV. Directly connecting to the Soundbar from the Spotify app is the most responsive way to start and stop and change the music.Sound quality is good, build quality is good, I’m happy with it. I don’t have additional speakers in the room. Playing movies with 5.1 support or 5.1.2 support works well. Dialog is clear even without the special AI option.The Bose Music App is easy to use and allows you to tweak Height, Center, Bass, and Treble levels but I didn't feel the need to change these. For CEC settings, besides on and off you can set other variations in case you are getting odd interactions between connected equipment like the TV getting turned back on when you are just accessing the soundbar via Airplay 2. I use the setting called Option 6 to avoid having the TV turn back on just after turning it off. There is a choice of having the Soundbar automatically turn off after 20 minutes if not being used, but I set it to never automatically turn off as it is a bit confusing when you go back to your TV which is still on but the Soundbar is turned off.I wish it had on/off and play/pause buttons on the bar as I find that feature useful on Sonos speakers from time to time. I think if you are already bought in to the Sonos ecosystem, the Sonos Arc is a better choice because it is also high quality and syncs so well with other Sonos speakers you may already own.

Excelente definición de audio.

desde el 17 de junio dejó de funcionar, me comunique con Bose y tardaron 3 semanas en enviarme la etiqueta de envio a su centro de Servicio en México, hasta el dia de hoy 17 octubre del 2024 no me lo devuelve Bose ni lo repara, dicen "que no hay partes para México" tiene un pésimo servicio de la marca.
