I would recommend this to a friend Didnt get a chance.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendConstant popping noise
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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.

Not Bluetooth compatible
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .Hello,
Whilst it is not possible to connect to your Bass Module via Bluetooth, you can do this directly to your connected Soundbar that you have your Bass Module 500 connected to.

Bose Fanatic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!
I would recommend this to a friend Boomy noise
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very little bass came from the product I purchased. Not sure if it was something on my end or what, but definitely not what I expected from Bose!!!

Posted .Hello Billy,
You can adjust the tones of your soundbar and bass module in the Bose app, once both devices are added to the app. Alternatively, you can add a second bass module to add more bass to your system.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact our team: https://bose.life/3rykPZR

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just seems like it ain’t that loud. I know Bose can do better than that. My Samsung is much better tbh.

Nice Sub for the Family Room
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used with the Bose 600 Soundbar for TV, Music and Movies. Sounds great!
I would recommend this to a friend A little disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to go with my Bose 500 soundbar, and yes there is a noticeable difference with it connected but to me it just doesn't deliver that low rumble that you really want out of a pricey item. The soundbar itself is excelent!
I would recommend this to a friendA sub-par sub!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As much as I wanted to like this speaker, it's a let down. While the sound coming from the speaker is clear, there is not enough of it. Not much volume! There are no manual controls (just a reset button) and the Bose App is a joke! It simply just will not function!
