    Decent sub

    I purchased this sub and the matching soundbar to go with a new Sony LED TV. Being an owner of a Bose Cinemate 130 system, I was hopeful that this pair would produce a similar experience. I found it to be a decent set up, but eventually returned it in favor of the Sony 900F sounder/sub that has similar performance at about half the price.

    VERY deceptive sales & marketing by Best Buy. They sell this Bass 500 "Wireless" subwoofer, in a "package" with a Bose TV Speaker soundbar. No mention of other itmes needed for it to work ! But when you open up the Module 500 setup instructions, it simply states that IF you are using it with a Bose TV Speaker ( not a Smart Soundbar) then you need to connect it via a 3.5mm audio cable ( not included). A WIRELESS Subwoofer - that needs a WIRE ( not included) to work with the soundbar they packaged it with. What a bunch of crap - bait n switch.

    Simple interface with Bose Smart Sound Bar 300 using interconnect wire. App and setup too difficult to use for adjusting sound of Sound Bar. App interface should be via Bluetooth not Wi-Fi.

      Hello,

      You can adjust to tones of your bass module and soundbar using the Equalizer in the app. That can help setting up the product to your audio preference.

    I bought it because I had one previously with a Samsung system. If I had it to do all over I am not sure I would have spent the money. The soundbar is great itself. Maybe next time I would opt for the surround speakers instead. I just don't think it adds much to the overall experience.

    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.
