    Absolutely love this soundbar. It sounds incredible! You can here all the fine details, it has decent bass. My only complaint on for some reason the soundbar has no buttons on it. Just a button to mute the microphone and a button to use Alexa. This has Dolby Atmos for 500 bucks can't beat it.

    I am absolutely thrilled with the Bose Soundbar! This sleek and modern soundbar has transformed my home entertainment setup, providing a supreme sound experience that surpasses all expectations. Its crystal-clear dialogue and powerful, rich bass add depth to every scene, immersing me in a captivating audio journey. Setting up the Bose soundbar was a breeze, with a wide range of connectivity options, including Bluetooth and HDMI. The user-friendly interface and intuitive remote control make it easy to navigate through various sound modes and settings. While it falls into the mid to high price range, the exceptional audio quality and the joy it brings to my entertainment make it a worthwhile investment. This soundbar has undoubtedly elevated my viewing experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a top-notch sound upgrade for their home theater setup.

    Disappointing and not worth the money. I previously had a Samsung soundbar and subwoofer combo and I loved it but it didn’t link up properly with our Sony TV and we thought it was broken. I decided to upgrade to this as Bose is supposed to be a good brand. The set up was easy and the size is better than our older soundbar was however I the sound it produces is not remotely close to our old unit. We did change the settings which improved the sound quality slightly but not enough. We frequently have connectivity issues with it where we need to unplug it and reset it and for the price, it simply wasn’t worth it. Thinking about taking the old soundbar out of the garage and putting it back in the living room.

      I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Smart Soundbar 600. I'm glad the setup process was nice and easy, but if you're not happy with the sound you can (as you suggested) adjust the volume of the up-firing speakers or the center channel via the app. I'd also suggest tapping the "My Bose" icon in the app, selecting your soundbar, and then activating "Dialogue Mode", which will make spoken content easier to distinguish. As for any connectivity issues you're having, we'd like to learn more about these, so please contact our support team for help: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

    Overall great sound and fairly easy set up. Felt like a good value amd price point relatively. Also Paired with the 500 bass module. Took some time to get set up after software update etc , so be patient. Recommend you do a full restart before pairing and connecting your soundbar to any tv. Bar could use at least 1 hdmi pass though, but other than that good control from the app as well. Alexa is compliant and can power or manage all of your connected devices

    I got the Bose TV Speaker first and tryed it at home. The TV Speaker is just and enhacement for the television speakers. That’s it. No more than that. Good for dialogues and sound in general. HOWEVER, if your are looking for a soundbar for inmersive sound, including movies AND music, this js the bar! No complains or concerns at all. I am using it without the subwoofer (additional accesory) and the bass is great. Really good bar!

    Impeccable Sound and the 900 >>>> 600

    This speaker sounds unbelievably good. It’s unmatched even by Sonos in my opinion and I’m v particular about the quality of sound because I use it to DJ events (just making playlists on Spotify, but I’m pretty good, especially now with this incredible speaker, you could find me on Spotify- im Diana.soulburn anyway listen to my tracks on this speaker and you will be blown away by the quality of the sound! Plus it interfaces with Alexa (though the quality there is not as good but that’s not a Bose issue I believe that is an Amazon issue). Oh and I got mine in an open box for a fraction of the cost, and after a few hiccups getting it set up, it works perfectly. I’d say it’s worth going out of your way to save the money to upgrade to the 900 over the 600 (I tried them both at home with the same playlist). As you can see from the photos, the speaker is very very long. (Photos represent the scale, I had to use props to demonstrate scale). Hence; if you want it to look cool under your television, you’d want your tv to be a 42 inch or greater because otherwise the speaker will look very oversized in comparison which is a design choice I personally wouldn’t condone. (I love interior design it’s one of my skills!) Please see photo of my fire place and mantle not only as evidence that the speaker is okay under a 42 inch tv (mine is a Samsung Smart tv and Art tv called The Frame and it’s phenomenal, I also got it at Best Buy), but also as evidence that the aforementioned interior design skillz are at least somewhat accurate to the average person reading this review. Though I do have a dream to reface the fireplace I gotta say. Overall Reveiw: 9/10 only because Alexa isn’t smooth sailing but also because it’s kind of finicky with AirPlay. Sound Quality like no other. You can hear a pin drop on volume 10%. It’s insane. Buy it, esp if you snag a deal like i did on Open Box Excellent.

    BOSE Sound Bar 900 I was looking for a soundbar that would help hear the voices more clearly. I purchased a ZVOX with the hope that it would help, but did not, now I was searching for one that would, but without actually hearing it. The only place to do that is Best-Buy. I visited my town store and they had a multitude of soundbars on display with all having a demo button to listen to. Most were music or action movie scenes that really did not give me a chance to hear what voices sound like. I choose the BOSE for it has a "voice clarity" toggle in the application and I have several other BOSE products that I was thoroughly happy with. This 900 bar did the trick. It also has Dolby Atmos, that has two speakers pointed up on the unit. I can now hear most dialogue clearly. The only problem I had was linking it to the new SONY TV I purchased a few months ago. I tried all the trouble shooting methods and at a last resort, called the BOSE help line. An actual living person answered that I could understand. She asked me several questions relating to the connections and I had already performed them all. So to make the connection, there is a sequence in plugging the TV and sound bar in. Once I went though that specific sequence the bar fired up and no problems since. Thank you BOSE for that service. Bottom line, pricy, but worth the cost.

    Great Sound Bar. Paired with the Bose surround speakers and Bose 500 base module creates the perfect 5.1 Dolby Atmos Surround Sound for a small to medium sized room. The compact size makes it ideal for tight spaces but sounds just as good as the larger sized competitors.

    The Bose 600 soundbar has great sound and can be setup through the Bose app. Once the soundbar is setup, it’s ready to go without a hitch. The 600 replaced another Bose soundbar. If you love great sound buy a Bose.

    This is my first Bose purchase, so my expectations were super high. For the most part, the Smart Soundbar 600 delivered big. I'm super pleased with everything.... except for the app. Much of the functionality depends on your ability to link your device to your app. I've not been able to do this yet. However, the main functions still work. I easily connect to the TV with an optical cord and Bluetooth gets my phone and computer connected with ease. The only other thing I'll add is that the base response is only ok (lowercase is intentional). It's as good as my previous system that had a subwoofer, but like I said, my expectations were high. I'll probably get the optional subwoofer from Bose one day down the road. For now, I'm a happy customer.

    As this is my first soundbar, I am pleasantly surprised how clear voices are when watching movies, along with the clearity of music even at higher volumes. As most have stated before, the bass is a little lacking, so if you want the full effect then you’ll provably want to add a subwoofer but I’m not looking to blow my families socks off when watching movies, just wanted to upgrade from the tv speakers.

    Awesome sound bar! Bought for my bedroom setup to replace old Vizio sound bar. Everything sounds great! I am not an audiophile, but I do appreciate good sound. I own several home theater products as well as many Bose products. Competition included, I always seem to prefer the sound from Bose. I am very pleased with this purchase. Worth the money, imho.

    Great product. It’s important to setup correctly and make proper adjustments to sound option. After a few days of using the speakers are broke in and sound even better. It’s important in my setup to keep a minimum distance away from tv or wall. So look in to that.
