Features
Immersive sound for everything you play
The Bose Smart Soundbar 600 delivers shockingly immersive sound for its size. Featuring Dolby Atmos and proprietary TrueSpace technology, this TV speaker has the power to make you feel everything you play, from shows and movies to music and video games.
TrueSpace technology elevates it all
Bose TrueSpace technology intelligently analyzes signals other than Dolby Atmos, like stereo or 5.1, and upmixes them to create a fully immersive multi-channel sound experience. Instruments, dialogue, and effects are separated, then placed around the room.
Big-time tech for a small soundbar
The Bose Smart TV Soundbar 600 squeezes five transducers – including two that fire upward – into its compact frame. They all work together to spread sound around your room: far left, far right and forward, but most importantly above to reflect off the ceiling.
Stream content any way you want
If you can get it on your phone, you can listen to it on the Bose Smart Wireless Soundbar 600. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Chromecast built-in compatibility let you stream content any way you want.
Control it all with your voice – or the included remote
With Bose Voice4Video technology and Amazon Alexa built in, you can control your soundbar, TV and cable or satellite box with just your voice. Or use this Dolby Atmos soundbar with a compatible Google device for Google Assistant capabilities.
Roku TV Ready
Roku TV Ready for smooth, automatic setup, easy access to the Bose Soundbar 600 sound settings in the Roku TV on-screen menu, and compatibility with the Roku TV remote.
Sleek, compact design fits under any TV
This elegant and compact Bluetooth soundbar measures 27.5 inches wide by 2.25 inches tall and fits perfectly under any TV. The top surface is a sleek matte black, complemented by a perforated wraparound metal grille. Optional wall mount bracket sold separately.
Quick and easy setup
Setup is easy with one connection to the TV and step-by-step instructions in the Bose app. Connect the soundbar to your TV using either HDMI eARC/ARC or the optical audio connection (both cables are included) and hook it up to power. The app walks you through the rest.
Want more punch? Add more power.
The Bose Smart Soundbar 600 delivers full immersion on its own, but you can add a Bose wireless bass module and surround sound speakers for more low-end fullness and a complete 5.1 home theater experience.
Private – or party – listening
With Bose SimpleSync, pair your Bose soundbar with select Bose headphones for a personal listening experience. Or group your soundbar with other Bose Bluetooth speakers and soundbars for a seamless, whole-home audio experience. Connect at the press of a button.
Bose Smart Soundbar 600 vs. 900
The Bose Smart Soundbar 600 offers many of the same features as the Smart Soundbar 900 – such as Dolby Atmos, TrueSpace technology and two upward-firing transducers – in a more compact size and at a more affordable price point.

Impeccable Sound and the 900 >>>> 600
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker sounds unbelievably good. It’s unmatched even by Sonos in my opinion and I’m v particular about the quality of sound because I use it to DJ events (just making playlists on Spotify, but I’m pretty good, especially now with this incredible speaker, you could find me on Spotify- im Diana.soulburn anyway listen to my tracks on this speaker and you will be blown away by the quality of the sound! Plus it interfaces with Alexa (though the quality there is not as good but that’s not a Bose issue I believe that is an Amazon issue). Oh and I got mine in an open box for a fraction of the cost, and after a few hiccups getting it set up, it works perfectly. I’d say it’s worth going out of your way to save the money to upgrade to the 900 over the 600 (I tried them both at home with the same playlist). As you can see from the photos, the speaker is very very long. (Photos represent the scale, I had to use props to demonstrate scale). Hence; if you want it to look cool under your television, you’d want your tv to be a 42 inch or greater because otherwise the speaker will look very oversized in comparison which is a design choice I personally wouldn’t condone. (I love interior design it’s one of my skills!) Please see photo of my fire place and mantle not only as evidence that the speaker is okay under a 42 inch tv (mine is a Samsung Smart tv and Art tv called The Frame and it’s phenomenal, I also got it at Best Buy), but also as evidence that the aforementioned interior design skillz are at least somewhat accurate to the average person reading this review. Though I do have a dream to reface the fireplace I gotta say. Overall Reveiw: 9/10 only because Alexa isn’t smooth sailing but also because it’s kind of finicky with AirPlay. Sound Quality like no other. You can hear a pin drop on volume 10%. It’s insane. Buy it, esp if you snag a deal like i did on Open Box Excellent.

Outstanding sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love this soundbar. It sounds incredible! You can here all the fine details, it has decent bass. My only complaint on for some reason the soundbar has no buttons on it. Just a button to mute the microphone and a button to use Alexa. This has Dolby Atmos for 500 bucks can't beat it.

You can only hear it at Best Buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.BOSE Sound Bar 900 I was looking for a soundbar that would help hear the voices more clearly. I purchased a ZVOX with the hope that it would help, but did not, now I was searching for one that would, but without actually hearing it. The only place to do that is Best-Buy. I visited my town store and they had a multitude of soundbars on display with all having a demo button to listen to. Most were music or action movie scenes that really did not give me a chance to hear what voices sound like. I choose the BOSE for it has a "voice clarity" toggle in the application and I have several other BOSE products that I was thoroughly happy with. This 900 bar did the trick. It also has Dolby Atmos, that has two speakers pointed up on the unit. I can now hear most dialogue clearly. The only problem I had was linking it to the new SONY TV I purchased a few months ago. I tried all the trouble shooting methods and at a last resort, called the BOSE help line. An actual living person answered that I could understand. She asked me several questions relating to the connections and I had already performed them all. So to make the connection, there is a sequence in plugging the TV and sound bar in. Once I went though that specific sequence the bar fired up and no problems since. Thank you BOSE for that service. Bottom line, pricy, but worth the cost.

Perfect Compact Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Sound Bar. Paired with the Bose surround speakers and Bose 500 base module creates the perfect 5.1 Dolby Atmos Surround Sound for a small to medium sized room. The compact size makes it ideal for tight spaces but sounds just as good as the larger sized competitors.

Great sound you expect from Bose
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great sound and fairly easy set up. Felt like a good value amd price point relatively. Also Paired with the 500 bass module. Took some time to get set up after software update etc , so be patient. Recommend you do a full restart before pairing and connecting your soundbar to any tv. Bar could use at least 1 hdmi pass though, but other than that good control from the app as well. Alexa is compliant and can power or manage all of your connected devices

Not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointing and not worth the money. I previously had a Samsung soundbar and subwoofer combo and I loved it but it didn’t link up properly with our Sony TV and we thought it was broken. I decided to upgrade to this as Bose is supposed to be a good brand. The set up was easy and the size is better than our older soundbar was however I the sound it produces is not remotely close to our old unit. We did change the settings which improved the sound quality slightly but not enough. We frequently have connectivity issues with it where we need to unplug it and reset it and for the price, it simply wasn’t worth it. Thinking about taking the old soundbar out of the garage and putting it back in the living room.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Smart Soundbar 600. I'm glad the setup process was nice and easy, but if you're not happy with the sound you can (as you suggested) adjust the volume of the up-firing speakers or the center channel via the app. I'd also suggest tapping the "My Bose" icon in the app, selecting your soundbar, and then activating "Dialogue Mode", which will make spoken content easier to distinguish. As for any connectivity issues you're having, we'd like to learn more about these, so please contact our support team for help: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer We have 65in LG Oled TV and have Bose Soundbar smart 600 and there is an issue as Bose informed me today. Not on all LG TV's. Soundbar worked immediately on JVC small tv but it's an HDMI arc issue. Very frustrating. Before buying make sure it works on your make and model tv.
