BOSE (Buy Other Sound Equipment)
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since the first day we purchased this garbage....It sounded like it was blown. Bass would bottom out and make the sub sound like it was blown. Never got decent bass out of it....and for the price? It should have been rocking! No Bueno!

Posted .Hello Jose, if your bass module is producing distorted or thumping sounds, you may be experiencing wireless interference, If the bass module or soundbar are sitting near a Wi-Fi router, this could be causing the interference, you can also connect the bass module to the soundbar via a 3.5 mm wired audio cable to prevent any wireless inference issues. Should you need additional support, please contact our technical support team who will be happy to assist you. You can find their contact information here: https://bose.life/3rykPZR.

Complete waste of money!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been the biggest nightmare of a purchase!! Buyer beware!!! Buy at ur own risk!!! We bought the bass module 700 with the soundbar 900 alittle over two months ago. It’s has been nothing but problems the base module started making a really loud popping noise I took it to have it checked and there was absolutely nothing that can be done about it!. I was told that the power cable that it came with was the wrong cable and I had to buy the correct cable. Im so upset that I paid so much money for a useless item

Posted .Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for choosing Bose for your home theatre. It's disappointing however to learn that you've had issues with popping from the Bass Module. Popping can be almost always related to interference from a nearby wireless device. This is because the US/Canada has restrictions on frequencies that can be used on a consumer level, with others reserved for the military. This means that many devices in your home operate on similar frequencies and can conflict with each other.
To prevent this from happening, move items like your internet router elsewhere in the home and not between your bass module and soundbar. Alternatively, wired connections between the speaker and the bass module can be a good solution.
Still need help? Reach out to our team today! We'd be happy to help.

Not Satisfied with this product
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We’ve exchanged the subwoofer due to a popping sound it made. We only had it for 15 days. The second one we got did the same thing. I don’t recommend this subwoofer. We were also given a hard time exchanging it the first time.

Posted .Hi Vanessa, I'm sorry you had a poor experience with your Bass Module 700. The bass module should not produce popping sounds, and if two bass modules in succession were doing the same thing, there could be something in your setup that was causing this, rather than it being an issue with the bass module itself. Our support team is always happy to help in such cases, so you're welcome to get in touch here: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

Average at best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this with the bar and rear speakers. Puts out quality bass, however, it does not hit as hard as you think. Even after messing with the settings. I guess I expected more, but for the price tag, it's not worth it quality bass, sure, but if you like a deep rocky feel while wat hing a movie it wont produce.

Posted .Hi DrPhilUpOnYa, thank you for taking the time to review our product. I'm sorry to hear that the system was not what you were expecting.

Poor Wireless Connectivity
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Constant popping/clipping even at low volumes. Talked to support and they said its because of interference. The sub is 3 feet from the soundbar. Their solution is to wire it. Just wanted to point out to everyone, if your planning on purchasing this, be prepared to have it wired.

Posted .Hello,
I'm sorry to hear you've experienced inteference issues with your bass module. This is generally related to nearby wireless devices operating on the same frequencies. To maintain a wireless connection, I recommend relocating these devices. Need further help? Head to https://www.bose.com/en_us/contact_us.html for more assistance.

Good sub, but i wasn't a bit more oompf...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good Bose subwoofer, but I want a bit more punch and oompf. Admittedly, I may need to play with the settings a little bit more and get the mix right, but I feel like I have it to where it should already be punching me in the face...

Difficult to install, poor instructions and servic
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not the easiest to install. The instructions leave allot to be desired. I went back to Best Buy to purchase Geek Squad assistance and have to wait almost a month to be able to use it. Very disappointed! Might as well purchase from Amazon if the customer service isn’t any better than that!

Great when not cutting out
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s constantly cutting out & sounds at times you hear a clunking sound. Other than that it sounds great. I don’t believe it’s a isolated issue cause I purchased 2 sound bar 700 with subwoofer & both woofers do the same thing..

DOA
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received dead on arrival. Customer Service said just return and buy another one after a few days vs replacement on the spot.

It was ok but not great for the price.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The price wasn't worth it. This sub doesn't sound the great at all. I can barely hear the bass. It could be different depending on your room. But in mine, it didn't really bump at all. I was extremely disappointed. I returned this and the 700 soundbar and went with the Sony HTST5000. The Sony sub is way better sounding to me.

Not as impressed with BOSE as I thought I'd be.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as impressed with BOSE as compared to setup in store. Remember in store they control what you hear, Normal Dolby, etc. from TV HDMI doesn't have as impressive content. Not saying product isn't good. Just saying don't expect most broadcast content to sound any better than with other brands.

Big Disappointment!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's all about that bass? You have to control this unit with your phone app. I got this expecting great theatre sound. BIG disappointment! If you turn it up to get some bass you mostly get some continuous buzzing. The big bass sound isn't there. Where is it?

Am I missing something?
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sub needed to be set to max volume (+10) to even come close to comparing to the output from its Sony, Samsung, JBL, or Yamaha competition. Even when the volume is there it doesn't hit the low notes you want it to. The 8 inch sub in the Samsungs destroy this guy. Is laughably weak compared to the Sonos sub.

Module 700
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I heard popping ang cracking sound I returned it and buy again from best buy, its the same popping and cracking sound.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Hello,
Thanks for your feedback. Popping/Crackling is generally due to interference from nearby electrical devices. This is because many items (such as internet routers for example) operate on the same wireless frequency as the subwoofer. You can mitigate this by moving the bass module to a different location, or moving the sources of interference. If that isn't possible, I recommend using an audio cable to make a wired connection instead. That will then bypass the wireless transmission and completely eradicate any pops/crackles.

Don’t Waste Your Money
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a horrible product. I’ve spent 3 months trying to tweak it and make it stop being annoying, but it’s a disaster and now it’s too late to return it. I have it paired with the Bose Soundbar 700 - which I love - but the bass module is not a good addition. When playing anything from the TV, it makes LOUD popping and buzzing noises. I have to turn it OFF. With music, it does its job but with extreme overkill. I have it turned down to 10, but the vibration is too much and too loud. It detracts from music, instead of complementing. Bose needs to take this back and rework this technology. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Posted .Hello Eileen, I am so glad to hear that you love your Soundbar 700. I am sorry to hear you are experiencing some issues with popping and vibrations from your new bass module. Did you re-run ADAPTiQ when you added the bass module? This would re-calibrate the system to maximise your listening experience. To prevent popping, follow the steps here https://bose.life/3iPyZiK.

Poor instructions
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For an expensive piece of equipment the set up is awful. There is a one page instruction sheet that basically tells you to download the app. Once that is downloaded you are supposed to walk through the set up. Sounds great unless the app can’t find the sound bar. Then you’re lost is a circle of turn it off and turn it back on. Turn off the network which it’s not connected to. Turn off the sound bar for 30 seconds. Turn off the wireless device. Nothing works and make no mistake, this speaker is far from wireless. It also requires a hdmi or optical cable. Terrible terrible instructions and app from Bose. This speaker and base module will be going back first thing tomorrow.

Posted .Hello Ricardo,
Thanks for the providing your review of the Bass Module 700. We appreciate your feedback. Please run ADAPTiQ audio calibration for the best acoustic performance. If you just added the Bass module, you need to run it again when the room is quiet. Here's how: Select Settings > ADAPTiQ > Run ADAPTiQ.
Hope that helps. Thanks again!
