Customer Ratings & Reviews

Was no where near as loud or vibrant as other ones available at Best Buy that have more power for less money. Not to mention there is an update as soon as you plug it in that takes HOURS. Tested out Comcast Tv channels, my Netflix and Disney plus movies and my PS4 Warzone gaming. ALL sounded just okay. For the money I would buy something else. Returned within a few days.

Very disappointed for some reason this bass speaker didn't work well with my boss tv speaker.

I’m not sure if it’s particular item I got but after connecting it from time to time you can here a lot of static coming from it.

In general, my listening purposes are very wide spread. I listen to mostly Hip-Hop/Rap, and a bit of EDM, but of course when I have friends over I listen to Pop and Billboard hits in general. Besides my music habits, my watching habits consist of the local channels (I don’t pay for cable). I watch either the local news or Sports broadcastings. All of my other watching habits happen on my streaming device. When I opened the box of the Bass module, I already figured since it was wireless, I’d have to use the Bose Music app to link it to the SoundBar. It was a very seamless process, that took very little time, and the mobile app verifies via listing it under the Accessory Speakers. When I first set up the Bass module, I sat it right next to the SoundBar and TV. That was a mistake that took me days to figure out. We ended up placing it right by the couch facing the TV, which enhanced the theatric experience. Overall, I'd recommend this product, with certain assumptions. The bass from it is amazing, whether for music or for a Michael Bay movie, the bass is great. It really fills up the room without being overpowering and obnoxious. With that being said, though it's not overpowering for my apartment, it’s too much for my apartment with these thin walls. On the other hand, I like to turn on the news partly just to hear current events going on and partly just to have background noise. So with "dialogue mode", it makes it easy to hear the narration of the news without the sound effects overpowering and startling me. I set the bass only at a +10 because anything past that would probably be audible to my neighbors. With some television shows, the bass was too much so I had to turn it to -10 bass. With music, since I listen to mostly Hip-Hop and EDM, I set it at 0 bass and it’s satisfactory, no complaints from neighbors yet. One thing I noticed about other wireless subwoofers/bass modules is that sometimes they cut in and out of the connection with the SoundBar. That problem doesn’t occur with this product. The design of the Bass Module is what you'd expect from Bose. Looks very sleek, blends in with the decor but still subtly stands out at the same time. For how much bass it puts out, this bass module is very small. My only gripe about it is the power cord could be a bit longer for those hard to reach places. The more convenient location for me to plug in would be right behind the couch, but I had to make do. The construction of it is good quality, and has a nice texture. One thing that confused me in general about this Bose experience was the use of Presets in the app. I'm capable of figure things out but couldn't figure how to create presets to use with my Bose system. If there was a tutorial or FAQ in the app for that and other features, that would be very helpful. All other aspects of the app were great. It is easy for others to connect to the Bose speaker, easy to adjust the Bass & Treble. It’s easy connecting Bluetooth devices as mentioned. Once a device is initially connected, you just toggle it to connect it or disconnect it. I wish the app would let you disable some tabs or something. Like you can play Amazon Music, TuneIn straight from the app. I don’t care for either of those. The app is very nifty and I’m mind blown technology has come this far. It takes only a few seconds to boot up the app and start adjusting your devices, including volume, treble, and bass. The change registers basically immediately. The convenience of this system is great. I have an Apple TV and when I turn it on, the sound system and TV all turn on. When I turn off the speaker, the Apple TV and TV turn off. With that being said, if I forget to turn off the speaker and instead turn off the tv only, it messes up the connection with the SoundBar or something.

Works well for a medium room size and adjusts to your needs.

Sound quality for base was no good. Took back and purchased the 700 sub. Now, thats whats up. More base then you will need.

Not impressed with its performance It makes the Bose soundbox marginally better !

25 x 25 room great clear sound, high tech equip low tech access control with Direct tv remote. Woofer size is advantage, Out of sight great sound.

Really nice sound quality . I love this Boss . Very good

Disappointed. Get a constant popping sound the 500 sub... very annoying and like the constant drip of Chinese Water Torture. Searched the internet for the issue and a solution. Apparently, the popping is a result of 5Ghz wireless network interference... Solution found was either disable 5Ghz on home Wi-Fi, or hard wire the 500 module using a shielded 3.5mm cable. Luckily the latter so far has worked for me. And hope it is the final solution. But i have read that others are not so lucky. Bose being a high end product i would have expected more and this should have been addressed during design enhancement. Overall disappointed i had to deal with this... otherwise speaker works as advertised and sound "without the popping" is good.

Not what I thought it would sound like. A little disapointed

Bad A. I have bought several sound system and my Bose hands down is the best choice I have made. Also the customer service was excellent.

Not compatible with a Sony Home theater receiver .

You need to have this if you need any bass. After paying so much for soundbar you will lack any bass. So have to get this. The sound bar is not worth but this bass module is

Just a great addition to the Bose 300 sound bar. If you don't add this to your system, you're missing out.

This isnt as good as the Bose sound bar 900. At times it gets too basey. Like sub is going to blow.

Not much difference in sound when added to Bose sound bar, I was disappointed

We Returned to the store for an easier to use system.

Looks good, sounds good. Easy pairing. It’s a Bose, you either love the sound or you dont

I purchased and 900 soundbar with my 500 bass module and had the bass start making clicking noise after the first week. I exchange the first one and now the 2nd bass module has blown. I was told by bose these products are compatible yet here i am and Best buy exchange policy so short i am week past the return window. Bose says 4 weeks they can repair and return but no good options. Dont buy this bass.
