    Nice to compliment the the Boss bar 300/ TV in the kitchen. Responds to both it’s own remote and the iPhone volume control, but not the cable or Tv remote.

    Bose makes fine sound products but the app and ease of connection leave a lot to be desired. I have owned Bose for 45 years but think they have much to do to recoup their once-stellar reputation. The sub was not as good as other for the price. I am still hoping Bose will get its act back together and restore their sound products to days of yore.

    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.

    Bass Module

    I'll start by saying if you're going with Bose, you probably need to have Bose everything. I have a Bose sound bar and bough this to go with it. I wasn't really impressed with the bass. I think it also needs the surround sound speakers, which I was not about to shell out another few hundred for. So I returned it. I think when combined with Bose surround sound speakers, this Bass Module could be great, it just wasn't the right purchase for me.

    I had purchased the 300 sound bar a year ago, and was to cheap to buy the 300 bass module. I think the 500 was an excellent compromise.

    Because I was going to use Bose® - Soundbar 500 for my room, I thought I would be okay without the subwoofer but without it, you don't even want to get the soundbar

    I am not the greatest fan of this product. I continue buying other pieces of the bose system with hopes it makes a difference, but the quality is mediocore. Its not enough. Its ok for the music.

      Hello,

      I am sorry to hear that you are not fully satisfied of the Bass Module 500. If you are looking for more powerful bass to connect to your system, you can add up to 2 bass modules, or upgrade for the bigger one, the Bass Module 700. Also, please don't forget to setup the ADAPTiQ on your system in order to optimize the sound in your room.

      For further assistance, you can always contact our support team: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US

    I love Bose products but this bass is just okay. It's way over priced. It's only worth about maybe $150 not $500. I wish I had sent mine back because of the poor value.

      Hi Patrick,

      I am very sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your Bass Module 500.

      If you are looking for more bass with your system, you can add a second bass module or upgrade for the Bass Module 700, which is more powerful. Alternatively, please make sure to setup the ADAPTiQ within the Bose Music app so you can optimise the sound of your system and get a better experience.

      If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our team: https://global.bose.com/en_us/index.html

      Best regards,
      -Lau (Bose Customer Support) bose
