Q: What is the difference between this one and the 900 soundbar?
A: I think the only difference is in the Dialogue Mode, from what I read from Bose. The Dialogue Mode is software that helps voice dialogue to stand out amid other sounds. You can turn it on or off. The newer 900 Ultra soundbar adds some AI technology that purportedly fine tunes the balance and clarity of the voice dialogue and surround sounds. I have the 900 (not Ultra) and it already does a good job with voice clarity. Even with Dialogue Mode turned off the voices are crisp and clear. That clarity enhancement on the Ultra is its only advantage
A: For optimal listening experiences, the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar should be connected to your TV system directly via an optial or HDMI connection. To support full use of Dolby Atmos, we recommend HDMI via the TV's eARC port, as this is the only port and connection method that supports full Dolby Atmos (Lossless) with Dolby TrueHD or Dolby MAT. Optical connections will only provide 5.1 surround sound via Dolby Digital. HDMI via non-eARC ports will provide Dolby Atmos (Lossy) through Dolby Digital Plus. Your corresponding TV sources (Apple TV, cable box, etc) may then be connected to your TV, which may output audio via HDMI to your Bose soundbar. If an HDMI or HDMI eARC connection is not possible, do not fear. The Ultra Soundbar features TrueSpace™ technology, a propietary Bose audio processing technology, which analyzes non-Atmos audio signals (such as stereo or 5.1) and upmixes them to create an immersive experience with a sense of height. For a TV without an eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) HDMI connection, an HDMI ARC or optical connection can be used, and with TrueSpace processing, listeners will still experience the benefits of the up-firing speakers. Once the soundbar is set up, we recommend running ADAPTiQ so the soundbar can optimize its sound for the listening environment. The volume level of the height channel speakers can be adjusted in the Bose Music App in case the desired sound level in relation to the front-firing speakers needs to be increased or decreased.
Q: What is the electric voltage it works on
A: The voltage requirement of the Smart Ultra Soundbar is an auto-sensing 100-240 V.
A: Sounds very good without purchasing a subwoofer, but your decision.
A: Hi Tom, thanks for reaching out! Yes, the Smart Ultra Soundbar does have a subwoofer output. Please note that it’s compatible only with the Bose Bass Module 500 and Bose Bass Module 700.
A: Yes. The Smart Ultra Soundbar can connect one or two bass modules. To connect two, both bass modules must be of the same model, and both must be connected wirelessly.
Q: Can you connect a CD player to this sound bar?
A: As long as your CD player has a USB port.
Q: I have a SONY 55NX720 TV will the Bose Smart Ultra be a good fit for this TV?
A: Perfect fit. I also have CC a 55" TV and the Bose 900 is almost as wide, but not quite (3.5" shorter on both sides. So it gives a wide soundscape that matches the TV.

The product is amazing. It is very easy to setup and the sound quality is supreme. The adaptive technology is a unique feature that can elevate the overall experience by focusing on your selected spots from where you listen to sound. The bass and treble features gives you a complete theatre like experience experiencing surround sound just with a sound bar. I was earlier going for a complete speaker setup but realized this is the ultimate minimalist product you need for a small home.

This sound bar is actually really good. The setup process was super straight forward and I like being able to control the sound settings from my TV

Omg this thing is so awesome, put a movie on and sit back. Added the Sub and it’s like being in the theater. If ur on the fence remember Bose is the OG speaker co. This soundbar is all you need. It’s nice looking, just big enough and so clear I can hear all voices. Have the Bose app to dial it in and customer support was a woman w a British accent. Yeah they’re a class act. Pull the trigger and treat yourself on what you deserve. And no this isn’t a paid review.
