Customer Ratings & Reviews

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..

You should not purchase the soundbar without the bass module. This thing rocks! The bass is so deep and clear. Rocks the entire room. And it's adjustable. It's a beautiful piece of tech also so it will look great in your room.

I bought the Bass Module 500 to go with my Soundbar 700 and rear wireless Bose Surround Speakers, and I couldn't ask for anything better! I'm totally satisfied with the bass performance from this compact cube, and does a great job as filling my living room with thunderous bass and low-frequency sound effects (it has performed flawlessly for films like Fury, John Wick, Black Hawk Down, and Saving Private Ryan, among many other action and war films). If you're considering the Bass Module 500 over the 700 due to cost, or if you live in an apartment and fear that the 700 may be too powerful, then don't hesitate to go right for the Bass Module 500. You won't be disappointed!

Great Bass and Best Quality Always Bose! Never Disappoints In Sound Quality!

Worth the money! Makes the sound bar sound even better.

I am using this in conjunction with the Bose Soundbar 500. Overall, I am impressed with the bass produced from such a small, light subwoofer Pros: - Bass settings are easily adjustable through the Bose Music app - Deep lows are very pronounced and this sub can be a room shaker with the right settings - Bass does not overpower the highs/treble from the soundbar Cons - Only one con. There are certain frequencies that come across as shallow when playing. It's a bit odd since the bass sounds and "feels" deeper if I'm hearing it in a different room but while in the room the music is playing the bass sounds a bit weak. This is the only reason I reviewed with 4 stars instead of 5

I am very impressed with the Bose base module 500. It is easy to set up and operate. It works great with the Bose sound bar and gives me great quality surround sound.

The subwoofer was used in conjunction with the Bose 500 soundbar. Overall setup was a breeze and maintaining the wireless connection was also very very stable. The bass lows was very, very good especially with music but not so much on movie soundtracks. But do not get me wrong the subwoofer was rocking my den and walls. This is a keeper but I feel for the price the bass from the subwoofer should be off the chart be it for music or movies.

This Item really CRANKS!! The one thing I would add about this is make sure not to bump it anything. I will rattle the furniture it touches. Keep it from touching anything. Ruins the bass effect. A GREAT little subwoofer...really pumps out the bass. Control is in the app.

Just what I was looking for. Paired up with my Bose 600 soundbar easily and added the needed base but not over doing it. Build quality is premium as with Bose. My set up is for gaming in a bedroom sized room

The subwoofer has the great bass sound that I was expecting to hear from Bose and it was easy to connect the module to the system. I am less happy about the mobile phone interface, which seems to have plenty of features, but a not-so-intuitive way of maneuvering from feature to feature. I am sure that once I work out how to use the interface, it will be smooth sailing, but I really wish that Bose had given more thought to how people are going to access the settings and other features. I would recommend this with some reservations. It sounds great, but I needed some patience to figure out how to use the interface.

Nice base, no distortion, no wire mess. easy to use.

This product, designed as an addition to the Soundbar 500 adds a strong bass and makes the product that much better! When I use it, I can definitely notice an increased sensation of bass and I can feel it much more. I have noticed that it sometimes lacks depth, which is a problem for such an expensive subwoofer. Setup was easy and I loved the app for control. Overall, I would recommend this if you have money to spare, but it isn't necessary.

The bass component (sold separately from the sound bar 500) wirelessly connects easily enough when you plug in the power. It provides a great deal more bass, with the articulation you would expect from Bose. No complaints at all. However, I am removing a star because I feel that the 500 system is lacking in mid-range which makes music and some vocals sound hollow. There are better options out there (even from Bose).

If you have a Bose Soundbar 500, you need this. It really takes the sound to the next level. The little 10" cube really pumps out the bass. Not boomy, and plenty deep. Pairs easily with the Soundbar 500 and operates seamlessly with it. If I had to nitpick, it's just a plain black cube, not very stylish if you happen to have to put it in a visible location.

Great sound with the soundbar! However, because it’s Bluetooth, it has trouble connecting sometimes.
