This soundbar 900 produces the phenomenal sound in the segment. My TV is 25' distance and the AdaptIQ headset barely able to reach the couch, however, it tunes wonderfully, I watched YT, Prime, Peacock and other contents and Bose TrueSpace technology works superb! I got the OpenBox excellent which is even cheaper that 700 price, 125 cheaper. Man, the speaker is super heavy, and a true piece of engineering from Bose, solid sturdy, and glass top is elegant! The holes in the Glass make your room filled with Sound Bubble, Dolby Atmos! I am using ARC, not eARC and still can play Dolby Atmos content (You can check which content is playing on TV by going to Bose App and it shows Dolby Atmos, for example, if playing Tomorrow's war in Prime), so yeah, eARC is NOT must to have, ARC can do the job for older TV owners.. As I said, I bought it OpenBox Excellent from Manassas BB outlet, I checked the condition at the store to ensure I am getting the excellent condition piece, it had all needed accessories including brand new Batteries, If I needed, I still could return it (within 60 days I guess), But I am NOT returning this great grab. It's 125 cheaper than 700, made the great deal overall! Now, the Bose APP, it has Dialogue Mode setting, when it's ON, it provides best dialogue speech from TV. Well for Bass, it's more than enough with low thump for my 25' x 30' large living room. Bose greatness truly showers the sound with full details, not missing any beats from contents, I discovered many new sounds from the same songs even I listened those songs 1000s times in non-Bose products!. In Bose App, I tuned with- Dialogue Mode: Off, AdaptIQ: ON, Center channel: 10, Heigh Channel: 90, Bass: 40, Treble: 40. With this tuning, I get the best surround sound even I did NOT hook up any other speakers other than just this beast 900. It is the true power of the Bose that it can sustain and produces best overall sound just with a single Soundbar 900. My couch is touching the wall across the TV, distance at 22-23 feet with recliners, and still can feel the sound is reaching to my left and right! The height channel is strong which I experienced in Prime's Quiet Place 2 movie scene, when creature jumps in to the tunnels/underground, the effects feel that it jumped over from my roof to my living room ha! And in the same movie, in frist 10 min, the dog barks when he shows alien ships entering the earth, that fire ball sounds terrific, and dog barking felt he barks from my kitchen. Yes, My TV facing couch, and the side has openings for Kitchen, thoguh, doesn't deteriorate sound quality when AdaptIQ is ON. Now setting up AdaptIQ, you need to plug the Headphone cable, little ackward position across the power cable, but works for me, sit down at your fav spot on couch, run the IQ technic, which throws some sound on your walls, multiple directions, the AI technology grabs the distance of the wall and your siting position, and then analyze for throwing frequency on the wall off to you!. Hope this review helps, and get one, you will bless yourself!!

I went in to buy something different altogether but was blown away by the audio quality of this sound bar. The dialogie, musical notes and bass are perfectly clear and distinctly audible. The Bose app makes day to day usage easy. Setup and connectivity were simple. I have barely used my remote, everything is managed through the app.
