    If you’ve purchased the Bose Soundbar 500, this bass unit is a virtual necessity. Unfortunately, it nearly doubles the price while adding significantly to the sound quality. The bass module connects wirelessly with setup handled through the Bose Music app. With it enabled, the Soundbar's frequency response gets the kind of boost you’d expect. Since it’s wireless, you can set it up anywhere that’s convenient and has an outlet nearby. The wireless connection is fantastic with all the music played in perfect synchronization and with no distortion, not an easy task. While it adds much, the overall sound still does not come close to a mid level component system. It’s too bad this doesn’t work on its own or with a separate transmitter. The wireless aspect would be nice to add to other systems.

    Solid performance for a bedroom. Did have to wire it with an Aux cable since it kept cutting out when used wirelessly to the Bose 300 soundbar.

    I had purchased Bose sound bar 500 and it sounds fantastic! I’ve also bought along with it Bose wireless surround speakers and the Bose bass module 500. And in my small New York studio apartment I am sound superior!

    Added this to the soundbar 300 because the soundbar does not have enough bass, probably intentional by Bose to pair the 2. Adds much needed bass.

    Good but not best

    I have used the Bose Bass Module 500 for over a month now, found it useful and but setup can be a hassle. It also have a problem connecting to other the soundbar 500 at times. Nonetheless, as expected of a Bose product, the sound quality is amazing but the quality of the product, particularly the case itself makes the product look and feel cheap. It also gathers significant amount of dust in a very short period. Therefore, keeping these things in mind, I would still recommend the product as I feel the product is well put, apart from minute things.

    Completes the Bose Soundbar 500

    Provides a much needed bottom end to the Bose Soundbar 500. Has adequate output for a small room and wireless connectivity is a plus. Can't dig real deep, but gets low enough to cleanly reproduce low frequency effects from movies. Found it to be fairly one-note for music though. If you have the Soundbar 500 then it is a no-brainer, but when looking at the value proposition of the Bose Soundbar 500 and Bass Module 500 I would be tempted to consider alternatives.

    Weak Bass

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was expecting to hear more bass thunder from this 500 module than I seem to receive. It doesn’t seem to improve the bass quality much with the TV connection. But there is some improvement to bass sounds using a bluetooth connection. I’m not certain if there is a technical problem with this device or if it is designed to function this way. I probably won’t plan on purchasing another Bose product at this time.

      Hello Jasper,

      I'm sorry to hear the Bass Module didn't meet your expectations regarding how thunderous the bass was. When pairing the subwoofer with your soundbar, there's an option called ADAPTiQ which calibrates the speaker to perfectly compliment the room it is placed in. It's possible you're used to hearing boomier bass which isn't necessarily correct. If that is something you're more interested in, however, there is an option in the app's settings to manually dial in a higher level of bass. Please give that a try and see if it makes a positive difference for you.

    Sounds great …. Until is starts popping and crackling… has had this issue since I got it . Its actually quite common. Bose customer care recomended Move it closer or move it furter… if neither work , use a wire for your wireless subwoofer…. Hmmmmm spent too much money on this ecosystem for this. Try Sonos!

      Thanks for your review, Jona! I'm happy you like the Bass Module 500's general output; if you're getting popping sounds, there could be numerous causes of this. Using a cable is one workaround, but you should also check for sources of excessive wireless interference. If all troubleshooting fails, service can be provided for your bass module. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose
