    Kind of misleading. Not wireless to the speaker they show, it needs to be plugged in. It’s wireless just for Bluetooth from a phone for music.

      Hi Mols, I'm sorry that you feel mislead.

      The Bass Module 500 can be wirelessly connected to our Smart Home soundbars. It's just our non-smart products like the Bose TV Speaker that it needs to be physically connected to with a cable.

      If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us - https://bose.life/2WZOG8Z.

      Thanks,

    We bought this to add a little bit more bass with our existing Bose soundbar. Checked with the salesman on the floor and was told it was compatable with our Bose Solo 5. No it is not! Therefore had to return without ever setting it up. Very disappointed.

    I recently purchased a Bose soundbar and it would have been crazy to leave the store without the Bass Module. It deepens the sound creating a theater-like atmosphere! I love it!

    Constant popping noise

    Was really nice at first until it started making popping noises. Almost like someone was knocking on the wall. After researching, a poor connection could be a cause. However, I have excellent internet speed and the router is 20 ft from the sub. It completely ruins a movie with its constant popping.

      Hello Tony, from what you have described it does sound like the bass module 500 is experiencing wireless interference. If the router is positioned closer to the soundbar, this can interfere with the connection to the bass module. You can view more on troubleshooting suggestions on this issue on our support page: https://bose.life/3SHllyH. Should you need any additional support, please feel free to reach out to our technical support teams, who will be more than happy to assist you further: bose.life/3rykPZR.

    3 star is only because it's not Bluetooth capable and it's 2023. Not sure how Bose got so far behind. I returned this. Wanted to love it.

    Boomy noise

    I was excited to take this subwoofer home, but it was actually very disappointing. Setting it at level 50 or above made it very boomy sounding rather than clear low-end sound. Setting it at 40 definitely added more to the experience than without the subwoofer at all, but overall this really let me down. The sound just wasn't clear. I opted instead for Klipsch the fives, which, even without a subwoofer, put forth better quality bass than this subwoofer. I think for the everyday consumer this would be fine, but to my ear it just didn't make the cut.
