    Frequently makes pop sounds when the audio has low rumble effects. This was the same with the big brother 700 subwoofer. No potential fix was avaipable and was out if the return window by the time i realized. Loving with it now.

      Hi Chandu, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that your Bass Module 500 is producing popping sounds during low‑rumble effects, especially since you experienced something similar with your Bass Module 700. That’s definitely not the performance we want for you.

      Even if you're outside the return window, we’d still like to take a closer look. Please check this quick guide to help get your Bass Module back to optimal performance:

      Thank you again for your feedback, we appreciate you sharing it with us.

    I used to work at Best Buy and the general sentiment among my peers was to pick Sonos over Bose products. I still decided to go with Bose because I had a stronger employee discount with them. My thought process was I hardly watch TV and it wouldn’t really matter with my use case. I brought the soundbar with the base module 500 as a birthday gift for myself. The soundbar gave me initial problems but it’s fine as of now. However the base module seemingly starting to fail on me. Currently I’m experiencing “popping” and cut offs randomly while watching/listening to something. It seems to be fine at extremely low volumes (such as watching something before bed) but when you set it at daytime volumes, the base module begins to act up. I have never set the volume to a point where it would stress out the speakers as I live in an apartment and my neighbors would complain. Extremely disappointed at this product as it only has been 5 MONTHS . I’m currently looking at manufacture warranties, but they’re online support is TERRIBLE. I am prompted to input my serial number and get greeted with an array of reasons why Bose can’t service my product. 1. I’m in the “wrong country”, 2. “Product is newly launched” 3 “your product requires special care - frames”. Are you kidding me?!? Not only can it not pinpoint the best course of action but it provides me irrelevant reasons why it can’t help me. 1, I know for a fact I’m in the right country/region for warranty claims. 2. The product has been out for at least 3 years. 3. Special care - frames?? How can you confuse these with sunglasses?!? Finally, the cherry on top is that customers service is closed during the time of this review. I’m glad I essentially got this deal as a buy one, get one free with my discount. If you’re going to pay full price for both items, I’d stay away from their products and go with Sonos.

    This item is decent but does not provide the floor vibrating bass one would hope for during the explosions scenes but also is not distorted at all.
