Excellent sound. Easy setup. Great value. We use it under a 70” TV and it is perfect. I can hear every quarterback word for word before the snap. Highly recommend this soundbar.

Took a while to get the whole system installed and updated, but once it was all fully functioning... wow. I moved a previous Bose sound bar and sub to another room and added the satellite speakers with the new 700 and sub. It’s incredible. My wife and I have switched on the Closed Captioning in the last year or so, but We are both loving the new system. The sound quality is fantastic. I love that there is no longer a control box and less components under the tv. I didn’t need the speaker stands, so I’m gonna return them. The satellite speakers set nicely on our bed tables and have a rubbery type bottom that keeps them in place well so far. I definitely recommend this system.

The surround sound, and bass from this soundbar by itself is awesome. I added the bass module which provides thunderous effects, and the surround speakers for real surround sound. Get all 3 units if you can. Perfect.

Having owned previous Bose products this one is near the top, but it performs best with the 700 Subwoofer. The value is high but the quality it gives whether you play music, movies or video games is extraordinary.

Fairly good sound,but one should add the subwoofer to get full effect which I didn't. For the price of the bar and sub I think there is something cheaper that would sound just as good.

For years I had a receiver with a 5.1 Speaker set up. Was pretty good but myself, kids and Housecleaner would always hit something in it and cause the sound to go into another mode. I got so sick of this happening I ditched the receiver and got an hdmi switcher (by key digital). So that left me with a need for a sound solution. Picked up this soundbar and was blown away. Set up was super easy. Set up the app. Updated the firmware. Did the sound test with the included headset. Totally magical. The sound fills the room. Watched Avengers first and the sound was better than my old set up. The bass is nuts as well. I couldn’t be happier.

I was torn between the Bose system and the Sonos system. However, the Bose name and history won out. Very pleased with the sound and quality. It is really pricey but it is worth it.

The look and sound is amazing. The only negative thing is there was a software update that was messed up but bise fixed it finally. The remote has messed up twice and ive had to restore it to factory and reset it up.

Make no mistake. Bose has packed a good amount of sound into this relatively small soundbar. For that, I commend them. But..
I would in no way qualify this soundbar as a must have compared to others at its price point when adding in a wireless sub. The sub is really really good, and it's a shame that it can't be added to anything but a few Bose bars.
As for the soundbar, it's expensive, pretty easy to set up. But it has a few flaws that I didn't appreciate.
-No HDMI inputs. Quality soundbars these days have at least one input if not many more. I don't prefer the ARC to handle my sound.
-The soundstage is fairly wide, but compared to something like the Samsung N850, it pales in comparison. Vocals are nice and clear, but this doesn't have an enveloping sound for the price point even after running the ADAPTIQ calibration.
-Inability to adjust frequencies without anything but the app is annoying. Most premium bars allow you to adjust with an LED screen on the bar, if not on the TV screen itself.
If you were in the market for something to set and forget, or just something better than your TV speakers, this will definitely be the ticket. But it's not so much better than the Sonos Beam that costs hundreds less to justify the price.
Buy a Sony HT-ST5000 for probably the best single bar and sub package available for the same price. If you want surround sound (and own a Samsung TV), get the N950 system. This Bose is good, but not a true standout. Bose is not the best name is sound. They're just marketed that way. I returned this soundbar.

Hello, Doug. Thank you for sharing your review of the Soundbar 700. It is great to hear that you appreciate the sound of both the soundbar and the bass module. The Soundbar 700 does not include HDMI pass-through connections as we have found that current TV's are better equipped for the task and have chosen to focus on our audio expertise. If you do not prefer to use HDMI(ARC), you always have the option to transmit audio with the included optical cable. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Have a great day! Best Regards, Greg - Bose Support

Good product, not the easiest to hook up
blue tooth and wifi needed. I had a hard time getting the Bar to pick up blue tooth ,once it did ,set up was fairly easy
definitely need the sub for really good sound.

This sound bar sounds amazing at any volume but if you're like like me and you like your music loud and clear and your movies to sound as if you are in the theater, bite the bullet and just get it. Want it all? Add the remote sub and the invisible Bose surround speakers and then when you crank it up, it's like WOW! I also really like that I can watch movies with dialogue and not have to jump to the remote and turn it down when the action picks up. Is it expensive yes. Do I have any regrets spending that much of my hard earned money? Not at all! Of course it looks very classy as well. The Bose app makes it very easy to dial in and set the system up or adjust it for individual preferences.

First of all I had tried 5 other soundbars like the q80 and the q90; Was not impressed at all for the price; so I took the plunge with this one. This thing is awesome; never had any issues with this and it sounds amazing. No it doesn't have Atmos but that's gonna be hard to get in a soundbar anyways; my favorite thing about this is the freaking remote. It is awesome. Best remote I've used hands down. I never have to get the other remotes out; trust me with Best Buy return policy try it and out and see for yourself; I've got the sub and the omni jewel speakers since and although its expensive it's well worth the investment.

Sound is great, as expected from Bose. The wireless connectivity to the subwoofer is awesome, allows for more flexibility. Remote is ok, I wished it connected to the Logitech harmony devices easier.
