    Amazing Bass Module

    Review for Bose Bass Module 500 Subwoofer The Bose Bass Module 500 has been a game-changer for my home audio system! From the moment I connected it, the improvement in sound quality was immediately noticeable. The bass is deep, rich, and incredibly well-balanced, adding a whole new dimension to music, movies, and gaming. This subwoofer has enhanced my movie-watching experience to the point where it feels like I’m in a theater. Every explosion, soundtrack, and subtle audio effect comes alive, creating an immersive experience that I didn’t think was possible at home. While it does require a wired connection to pair with the Bose soundbar, this is a minor step for the incredible performance it delivers. Setup was straightforward, and its sleek, compact design fits seamlessly into my living room without taking up much space. Overall, the Bose Bass Module 500 adds amazing value to any sound system. If you’re looking to elevate your audio setup and enjoy rich, high-quality sound, this is a fantastic investment. Highly recommended!

    Excellent sub for a living room!

    Bought the open box Bose 500 module to add to my existing living room audio setup of bose smart soundbar 600 and bose surround speakers. The open box product was in excellent condition and it was a steal for the price I paid, at almost 50% off the full retail price! The module paired seamlessly with my bose soundbar within minutes. I placed the sub around in a few places in the room to test out the best placement before I decided on where it suits best. The app controls are pretty great. It has a lot of oomph considering the price I paid for it. Vert happy with the purchase.

    Sometimes very big things come in small packages.

    I’ve tried both the Bose 700 and the Bose 500 Subwoofers, yes there’s more boom from the 700, but honestly I had to keep that on 20 to stop it from over powering the bar. With the 500 I keep it on 40 and it has as much distortion free boom as the 700 at 20. So, save the money and buy the smaller sub as it has plenty of punch for a 20 x 15 room and you can use the extra $200 to $300 on the higher end rear channel speakers. I am much more impressed with my open box Bose 900 and this Sub than I was the Sonos Arc and the JBL Bar 9.1 would have been the better solution for the money, but that has an audio popping problem.

    Powerful

    Don't judge it by its size. Upgraded from a Sony HT-Z9F - I had always felt the subwoofer for this Sony soundbar didn't have the power and accuracy like this Bose. I have it synced with my Bose 600 soundbar and it really transformed the experience. You must have the Bose app installed to sync with your sound bar.

What's in The Box: Bose Bass Module 500 - Black (Model 796145-1100)|Black Power Cord|Bose USA Authorized Dealer Warranty|Deco Gear 6FT Universal 4K HDMI 2.0 Cable with 28AWG Pure Copper Conductors|Deco Gear Television Home Theater Essentials: Beginner's Guide --- The Bose Bass Module 500 is a compact wireless subwoofer designed to add deep, room-filling bass to compatible Bose soundbars. Its compact cube-shaped enclosure measures approximately 10 inches on each side, allowing it to fit discreetly near an entertainment center, beside furniture, or in a corner while delivering a stronger low-frequency foundation for movies, music, games, and television. Wireless connectivity allows the Bass Module 500 to pair with compatible Bose soundbars without requiring a signal cable between the soundbar and subwoofer. This provides greater flexibility when positioning the bass module within the room. A compatible wired connection can also be used with a Bose Bass Module Connection Cable for installations where a physical connection is preferred. The sealed enclosure is engineered to deliver controlled, focused bass with greater depth than a soundbar can typically produce on its own. Low-frequency effects such as movie soundtracks, bass guitar, drums, and cinematic impacts gain additional weight and presence while the compact enclosure helps maintain a clean, understated appearance. The Bass Module 500 is compatible with a range of Bose soundbars and TV audio products, including select Bose Smart Soundbar models, Bose TV Speaker, Soundbar 500, and SoundTouch 300. Compatibility can vary by soundbar generation, so the intended soundbar should support Bose Bass Module connectivity. When used with a compatible Bose soundbar that supports room calibration, the system can help optimize bass performance for the listening environment. Placement, room size, furniture, wall boundaries, and listening position can all influence low-frequency response. The black finish and minimalist design allow the Bass Module 500 to blend into home theater and living-room setups without drawing attention away from the display or soundbar. It is AC powered and includes the required power cable for continuous operation. The system can also be expanded with compatible Bose surround speakers to create a more immersive home theater setup with dedicated low-frequency output and rear-channel effects.
