I own 7 Bose products read my review
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have purchased the Bose 500 (two of them) and 900 sound bars, 500 & 700 subwoofers and 500 & 700 surrounds. The sound quality is superb. Exquisite even. Now the downsides. These don’t play well with TVs. I couldn’t get the TV remotes to turn the volume up on the Bose soundbar. With EARC you can have devices communicate things like volume and on/off signals to all devices. Bose is EARC “compatible” Not at all. I purchased 3 different brand high quality TVs just to get these sound bars to work. Really. I literally went through three brand new TVs so I could keep the Bose products. I connected directly to the TVs with a few different quality HDMI cables. I even had geek squad out and they were baffled. I use an Apple TV and I couldn’t get that remote to work with the Bose stuff either. I had to use the infrared on my Apple Remote to finally get the soundbar to work. Ya like 60 year old technology. So because the soundbar is under the TV and on a high TV entertainment unit I have to have direct line of sight between the remote and soundbar. This means my arm must go way up in the air to change the volume every time. It’s even more fun laying on the couch. The TV and Apple Remote are set up for Bluetooth. Beautiful. No more aiming at the tv. Till Bose. It sucks. Same thing for my Bose 500 in the bedroom on a smaller tv. HDMI won’t even work with the sound bar for sound. I have to use another old technology. Optical cable. It works but just barely. Oh yes and on both systems the updates are horrible. They get stuck all the time updating. Days stuck on the update. Meanwhile I can’t use any app features like dialogue mode. Then I have to play a game to get them unstuck. This usually results in having to reconnect the subwoofer and surrounds which is a huge pain. Oh and sometime it deletes the IQ feature which takes a bunch of time to set up too. I can spend an hour resetting things up because of updates. One last thing about their proprietary products. These can not be used with any other products. I went to use my 500 subwoofer in my office for my computer and it doesn’t use a normal input. So I put it back in the bedroom. It made me realize that someday when the soundbar dies I will be unable to make use of the sub and surround speakers. To have a soundbar go out and have the rest of the working speakers be unable to work is a waste of money. Buy Sonos instead. I’m going to switch to them on my next purchase. The sound quality of Bose isn’t worth the nightmare.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Bose 600 Sound Bar along with a new Sony 50” TV andI love that I can link the sound bar to the tv via Bluetooth and I can control the volume of the Bose with the volume control for the tv and it also powers up when I turn on the tv. One remote to run both seamlessly.

Bose Soundbar 600
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound. Terrible to make it work w/ Samsung TV even with hdmi. It should NOT take more than a couple of minutes. Im still struggling making it work almost every time I turn on the TV. It does not play nice with Samsung 6 series TVs. Very disappointing

Save yourself the headache! Don’t buy!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this Bose soundbar with high expectations, but it absolutely drove me nuts with all the connection issues it was having. The app constantly would not be able to connect my speaker to Wi-Fi and I had multiple issues trying to set up the remote. I can’t believe I forked out $500 for this thing and it has been nothing but an awful headache. I’m taking it back tomrrw!!!!
