    This soundbar is amazing! The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because I purchased it with the 700 series sub and the sub would not connect properly. If you are only getting a soundbar, or don't have issues with sub connectivity then I would recommend this product.

    This Bose speaker is really nice. It isn’t bulky, has really good sound, and a nice sleek look. The subwoofer that is optional to get with it is pricey, but definitely makes a difference as far as the bass goes. Love that it is bluetooth and can work for multiple devices.

    I’ve never heard anything like this before amazing sound without Dolby atmos. Bose have done something beyond my imagination with this soundbar, it’s sleek and looks great no matter which color you choose. If you have the money to purchase this soundbar, it’s a must have.

    This sound bar is amazing and it sounds wonderful in my family room and throughout the entire house. The crystal clear sound and acoustic are beautifully paired and now I really enjoy watching my 75 inch TV. You will now regret this purchase or be disappointed.

    Sound quality still far below multi speaker systems for music but adequate for my Condo living room Originally bought lower cost Sonos but returned to Best Buy with no hassle and bought this unit Probably ranks higher if you watch comic book movies but for music a solid B Thanks Best Buy for your attitude and help

    This item was replaced by Best Buy when our original one took a dump while still under warranty. We are not super tech savvy, so Geek Squad needed to come connect all of it with the new subwoofer and all. Works great, though. We are super happy with all of it.

    After researching soundbars and being overwhelmed by the information and options, I decided to go with Bose although the price was a bit more than I originally intended. As long as it delivered, I thought. I choose Bose over Sonos because Sonos is overdue an update and I couldn't get over paying that much and having a fabric screen on their product, which I knew my boys would abuse. I was also looking forward to maintaining Alexa accessibility without a stand-alone Echo. So, I splurged and bought the Soundbar 700 and Base Module 700. Build quality was a solid first impression, but then... setup. First, why is the manual not included? I spend $1500 and Bose can't print a 50-page manual and include it? Everything is based on their poorly designed Bose Music app? Simplistic setup processes, like Apple's, only work along with attention to streamlined product design and quality software. Bose fails on both accounts. You don't question if a button turns on the power or is just a power indicator with an iPhone. With the Soundbar, I am still not sure if those are functional buttons on the device or not. Maybe the manual explains it. Secondly, setup and connection... there is nothing much positive to say. 1st try... 0 of 3. Bass module - would not connect. Universal remote would not configure. Alexa would not connect (i.e. set up service, not an error in Alexa's response, which is the nature of 99.99% of all online help.) 2nd try... 1 of 3. Bass module - connected. Universal remote would not configure. Alexa would not connect. 3rd try (after full factory reset)... 1.5 of 3. Bass module connected. Configured universal remote (partially). Alexa would not connect. 4th try (another factory reset). 2 of 3. Bass module connected. Configured universal remote (completely). Alexa would not connect. Of course, support is closed on Sunday, because equipment like this is never purchased and set up on a weekend, right? It seems Bose is too focused on the allure of marketing themselves as a superior audio speaker company, so they ignore, to their own detriment, making their products convenience and well-integrated like consumers expect today. I will give Bose support one chance to get Alexa set up, but then I am done. As it is, I will seriously hesitate to ever purchase Bose again. Bose already had me. I am not a critical audiophile. I had already made the purchased. I had gotten over having spent more than I intended. I just needed it to work to be satisfied. Instead, I am wasting more time on this Bose product sharing my experience here. I guess that is the point... setup issues so bad I felt compelled to vent to those who may still avoid this purchase.

    The Bose 700 sound bar is a wonderful device. The clarity of the voices and musical instruments are astounding. It makes you realize why Bose has been such a leader in this industry..For years their speakers have been second to none and this sound bar is no exception....

    The only complaint is the remote control. The back light for the controller is not adjustable for how long it stays on . It doesn’t stay on for more then a couple of seconds. Most of the time that is not long enough to find what buttons your looking for. But other than that, the sound quality is awesome!!!!!!

    Purchased to replace a moderately nice 5.1 surround sound system (around $2k full priced) obviously not quite the same but it holds its own. I especially like this for music. Only draw back is that it only pairs with bose subs, would have loved to use the sub i had from the 5.1 system

    Great sounding speakers with clarity and precision. I would recommend the sub woofer for a more theatre style setting. Only thing i missed was the atmos experience. Maybe in the future Bose will incorporate atmos. All together, a great product and good price.

    I had an older system and loved it, so I thought I should stick with a new Bose system. I’m very happy I did. It works great with my new LG tv. My remote controls everything. The sound is wonderful! You do have to have internet just to set it up.

    Crystal clear from Bose....what a difference in TV shows and music from Alexa. Also, the two Geek Squad guys, Chris and Rob, are the best!! They are patient and show you everything you need to enjoy your new Bose Soundbar....nice looking soundbar also.

    Crisp, clear sound and easily connects as a Bluetooth speaker or soundbar. Make sure you have reliable WiFi and it will be extremely easy to pair everything. The universal remote has a great light up feature that only shows the buttons applicable to what you are currently using.
