Customer Ratings & Reviews

So I got this sub after my sound bar so I got to say I’m empressed. I love the deep bass and I love how it is dark black so it’s easily hidable. Also the sub is wireless. For music it brings out the thump and the same for movies. So great addition to the sound bar love it!!!!

The Bose Bass Module 500 subwoofer is designed to compliment the Bose 500 Soundbar. The module can however be used with the Bose 700 and Bose 300 soundbars too. My Bose Soundbar 500 sounds amazing when playing music and movies. The bass is really quite good on the Soundbar alone but you know they make the subwoofer bass module for a reason. Unboxing reveals the the Bass Module 500, a power cord, and a basic manual. That’s it. It is wireless after all. You can use a wired connection if so you chose. The bass module comes wrapped in a fabric cover. Nice touch. The bass measures 10”x10”x9.5” which is smaller than I would have expected. Bass is of course non directional so I place it out of the way under a chair. Bose suggests placing it along the same wall as your TV and Soundbar. The manual simply tells you to plug it in and then use the Bose music app to complete setup. You simply tap on the Soundbar icon within the app, select settings, and select add accessory. The app searched and quickly discovered the bass and connected it to the Soundbar. Wow! That’s it, it couldn’t be more simple. I immediately wanted to hear the difference so I started with music. I selected a few favorites from a few different music genres and I could quickly sense the difference. As expected music now had a punch. Bass was deep. When I cranked the volume this thing seriously thumps. Switching the source to a movie I quickly noted a far more atmospheric sound particularly during action scenes. Love it. The Bass Module 500 is a fantastic addition to my Bose 500 Soundbar and very effectively makes a great product even better. Great product.

Way better than, I could ever expect from a subwoofer and to complete my Bose surround sound setup. Highly recommend not as cheap as the others but definitely knocks it out of the park and so it's a big difference from the others systems you can get.

We have been using the Bass 500 module with the Sound Bar 500 for about a month. (see Sound bar review separate) the bass unit paired very easily with the sound bar and through the Bose app. The unit is smaller than I expected but delivered room filling base even in our larger living room, TV, room area. The bass sound is full and complete. Using the app can up the bass or lower according to sound source and taste with very little effort. in total, we were very pleased with the bass unit. the only thing I might add is to get the satellite speakers to complete the full sound settings: sound bar, bass unit AND satellite speakers. I would recommend these units to any friend or family.

Sleek-looking, easy to set up via the Bose App, and wireless connectivity to the soundbar are some of the advantages of this subwoofer. No cable needs to run to the soundbar so you have freedom to place it anywhere in the room if there is a power supply by it. Bose isn't known for "Bass thumping or Bass-dropping" beats, but this woofer does deliver if you are looking for "clean" low sounds. You won't get distorted sounds even when it's louder, and that's part of the engineering ingenuity of Bose sound products. I am well pleased with this product and the ease of pairing to it's sister device, the Bose Soundbar 500. Small package, big sound. Love it.

I was surprised that the compact size of this subwoofer produced such a big sound. It produces a nice sense of shake and vibration when you play action movies, and hip-hop or rock without annoying distortion. It also allows for a tight, punchy sound allowing for suitable playback of pop, jazz, and classical music. The wireless setup allows for quick pairing with your Bose Soundbar to bring your media room to life. Also noted- voices are not lost as can happen with some bass units when added to your peripheral audio units.

This subwoofer definitely compliments the bose soundbar very well by expanding on the much deeper tones. It's really easy to set up, if you already have the sounbdar setup you simply sync this using the same app and you're good to go. Your presets should automatically extend to the sub but I found it better to test them and set them up again so you can test out the full power of the bass. The module itself is pretty small. and doesn't call any attention to itself, almost like it just belongs there.

I got this with the bose 500 sounbar. The soundbar doesn't make a lot of bass without a sub so it made sense to get them together. If you already have a sub it may work with the sounbar but you may have to run a wire to it. This works wirelessly with the 500 soundbar and makes great bass in a small package. You can also run a wire to it if you don't like wireless. I tried it in my medium size living room and works well. Complements the sounbar very well. Nice job bose.

I opted for the 500 bass module to pair with the Bose 500 soundbar rather than the 700 due to the size of my TV/stand and living room area. I hoped that the 500 would provide enough sound for my living space and it definitely delivers! Setup was a breeze, it automatically paired once I had the soundbar set up. Using the app I adjusted the bass volume and it fills my room perfectly. Its on the smallish side, which I love, and it sure puts out the bass! Great product.

I as asked to review this along with the Bose sound bar 500. I cannot wait to buy this for myself. The sound is unsurpassed. I can control this with the Bose app on my phone. Set up was a breeze. It’s sleek and even sexy looking and does not have a big foot print. It fits in with my living room decor quite nicely. I love Bose products and this simply did not disappoint. If you were on the fence about this, buy with confidence. You will not be disappointed.

This product was undoubtedly the best addition I could've added to my living room TV setup. I had the Bose soundbar 500 and while on its own it provides clear, high quality and accurate audio, this bass module took it to another level. I have a fairly large living room in my apartment and did not even have to turn it up halfway for it to fill the entire room with bass. It is not too boomy and it is not too shallow. It is perfect. I would highly recommend it.

This little sub packs a punch! I have it paired with a 600 soundbar and the sounds really fills the 15x22 room! We were able to get this sub on sale for $399 brand new!!! Score!!

It's a $50 subwoofer at most, also very frustrating to setup. and the wireless connection is so bad it stopped working frequently.

Perfect sound match with my older Bose 650 soundbar that I got. The base sounds making the movie match more enjoyable.

I purchased this module along with Bose Soundbar 500. It gave amazing boost to the sound and bass. Very clear and crisp. This was very easy to setup with Bose Music app and soundbar connected it without any issue. It also added great beauty to tv room. I really love this product and highly recommend who wants much better sound quality along with soundbar.

This unit goes great with the Bose 500 soundbar. The design is very sleek and different than any subwoofer I have ever come across (It doesn't look like a subwoofer people ask me all the time what it is) But, I love that it's not obvious and it's very compact. Most importantly the bass is amazing. Another great Bose product.

Decent unit, but could be a little better Please note, all of this review is the Bose Bass Module 500 matched with the Bose Sounbar 500. The Good: +Music sound is very good. Warm bass that is there but not overwhelming. +Overall quality is good. +Aesthetically pleasing. Th "Mmehh" =TV and movie listening, the sounds are good but not quite as rich and full as I am used to. Was hoping for a little more from Bose legacy reputation.. The kinda' bummers: -As mentioned, the sound for music is great, but it does not seem to carry the ground-shaking thunder of other soundbar and bass-modules I have experienced. In all, its an OK unit, especially if music is your deal, and it's utilitarian and does its job adequately well. I would recommend it, but with defined caveats for the movie lovers.

I am enjoying with bass watching movies like theater experience. Easy to connect with app with out wires

This is by far the best bass module i have ever owned. I love the ease of being able to adjust it via my phone for any movie or tv show i am watching. It has become one of the best things in my home making the sound quality outstanding.

This Bose 500 wireless subwoofer is good but not great it is ok for for small to medium size living rooms, if you have a bigger and large living room need to have next level subwoofer..
