    This product, designed as an addition to the Soundbar 500 adds a strong bass and makes the product that much better! When I use it, I can definitely notice an increased sensation of bass and I can feel it much more. I have noticed that it sometimes lacks depth, which is a problem for such an expensive subwoofer. Setup was easy and I loved the app for control. Overall, I would recommend this if you have money to spare, but it isn't necessary.

    Bass articulation you would expect from Bose

    The bass component (sold separately from the sound bar 500) wirelessly connects easily enough when you plug in the power. It provides a great deal more bass, with the articulation you would expect from Bose. No complaints at all. However, I am removing a star because I feel that the 500 system is lacking in mid-range which makes music and some vocals sound hollow. There are better options out there (even from Bose).

    If you have a Bose Soundbar 500, you need this. It really takes the sound to the next level. The little 10" cube really pumps out the bass. Not boomy, and plenty deep. Pairs easily with the Soundbar 500 and operates seamlessly with it. If I had to nitpick, it's just a plain black cube, not very stylish if you happen to have to put it in a visible location.

    If you need to (and you may not) up the bass over the already rich bass of the Bose 500 sound bar, The perfect answer is to up the system by adding the Bose 500 bass speaker to the mix. Attractive and very functional. the 500 system works with Alexa. - nice.

    If you’ve purchased the Bose Soundbar 500, this bass unit is a virtual necessity. Unfortunately, it nearly doubles the price while adding significantly to the sound quality. The bass module connects wirelessly with setup handled through the Bose Music app. With it enabled, the Soundbar's frequency response gets the kind of boost you’d expect. Since it’s wireless, you can set it up anywhere that’s convenient and has an outlet nearby. The wireless connection is fantastic with all the music played in perfect synchronization and with no distortion, not an easy task. While it adds much, the overall sound still does not come close to a mid level component system. It’s too bad this doesn’t work on its own or with a separate transmitter. The wireless aspect would be nice to add to other systems.

    Solid performance for a bedroom. Did have to wire it with an Aux cable since it kept cutting out when used wirelessly to the Bose 300 soundbar.

    Added this to the soundbar 300 because the soundbar does not have enough bass, probably intentional by Bose to pair the 2. Adds much needed bass.

    Good but not best

    I have used the Bose Bass Module 500 for over a month now, found it useful and but setup can be a hassle. It also have a problem connecting to other the soundbar 500 at times. Nonetheless, as expected of a Bose product, the sound quality is amazing but the quality of the product, particularly the case itself makes the product look and feel cheap. It also gathers significant amount of dust in a very short period. Therefore, keeping these things in mind, I would still recommend the product as I feel the product is well put, apart from minute things.

    Completes the Bose Soundbar 500

    Provides a much needed bottom end to the Bose Soundbar 500. Has adequate output for a small room and wireless connectivity is a plus. Can't dig real deep, but gets low enough to cleanly reproduce low frequency effects from movies. Found it to be fairly one-note for music though. If you have the Soundbar 500 then it is a no-brainer, but when looking at the value proposition of the Bose Soundbar 500 and Bass Module 500 I would be tempted to consider alternatives.
