    The Bose Bass Module 500 is a very powerful and punchy bass module for its small size. This module accompanies the Bose Soundbar 500 and they both sound superb when combined. The design is very elegant and sharp looking, it blends in very tidy with my current setup. Unboxing the Bass module was very simple and straightforward task. Setup and connection to the Soundbar 500 is a very easy process through the Bose Connect App. The build quality feels very long lasting and sturdy, it is made out of very nice materials. The sound quality is excellent, it really provides a great punch to the Soundbar 500 experience. It really excels in all areas from listening to music to watching movies Adjusting the bass level is very simple and is done through the Bose app. I would highly recommend the Bass module 500 to anyone buying the Soundbar 500 because it accompanies the soundbar perfectly and provides that low-end range the soundbar cannot do on its own. Overall this is a great addition to the soundbar 500 and would highly recommend the bass module 500 because it adds that extra sound performance to watching movies and listening to music, it can really make the room shake

    Out of my trying to save, I got this to complement Bose 900 sound bar, only to feel incompletely happy. It sounded awesome in the store but at home in the living room it does not deliver as I expected it would.

    Terrible subwoofer. Constantly cracking and popping. I even tried using a Bose 3.5mm cable to prevent "Wifi" inference and it didn't help at all. At this time I am thinking about returning the 500 bass module and the 300 sound bar and getting something else.

    Our subsequent JBL was 10x better and 1/3 the price. these speakers have Alexa but you can't coordinate them with your other Alexa controlled speakers in the house. There is a delay. It's awful. What a ton of time trying to make this thing work for nothing. Bose should go back to regular speakers. They really lost their way.

    Right after the return period ended this expensive box started making random popping/crackling noises that did not coincide with the program being watched. Very disappointed in this product

      Hi, thank you for reaching out. It is surprising you are getting crackling and popping through your bass module. As This can sometimes be caused by interference, I would recommend making sure your router is 5ft away from your soundbar and bass module.

      If you need further assistance, please contact our support team: https://bose.life/3nTDo5H

      Thank you for your post. Sorry to hear that you are not happy with the Bass Module 500 sound. Depending on the soundbar, I suggest that you run the ADAPTiQ calibration to optimize the sound for your room. Also, you can adjust the bass level in the Bose Music app to suit your preference.

    Annoying popping sound. According to Bose it’s caused by interference. Solution: wire it to the bar (which defeats the purpose of a wireless speaker) or remove all wireless equipment surrounding the soundbar/speaker. Unfortunately I missed the return window.

    Difficult to set up. It just wouldn’t automatically connect or stay connected. Spent some time on the phone with a Bose tech and he couldn’t get it to work either. Got this with the sound bar and took both back.
