    the sound is excellent, exactlly what you'd expect from Bose. The connectivity and remote however leave something to be desired. Sometijmes it just shuts off, idk if it has something to do with our directv or what is making it happen. We've also lost the remote so we have to use the app, but only 2 of us have the app. So, if one of us is home without the 2 that have the app and we can't turn it on or it suddenly shuts off (not super often just randomly) then I end up just using the tv remote. our fault for losing the remote but even the remote is somtimes difficult to use too, like it won't turn on or raise or lower correctly. Not sure what the issue was for us.

    The sound is great. It sounds like the movies are at a theater. It works real well with my LG TV. When the price goes down I am going to get another one. It is worth the price.

    LOVE this sound system. We were relying on our TV speakers for the last few years and it was difficult to hear quiet talking in movies and shows. Our house is open-concept and the acoustics were awful until Santa brought us the new sound bar. Impeccable sound and a really great upgrade to TV speakers. We’re considering adding on to the unit to make it even more enjoyable and shows more submersive.

    I had the Bose SB 600 for almost 2 months and was a great sb. But after seeing this go on sale, decided to give it a try. Sounds even better, more clarity, wider soundstage and more bass. Paired it up with 120 watt surround sound speakers and it sounds like I'm in the theater in the comfort of my home. Maybe down the road I'll add the 700 subwoofer. Very pleased with this setup. Have it hooked up to my 77" LG C2 oled. Only complaint is the app could use a little more work. For the people that complain about the bass and treble, get the app. Another nothing. I was going to go woth SONOS Arc, but needs more features, bluetooth and it's tailored around IOS.

    Been contemplating on buying this for a while now. Tested it out Bestbuy one day with the Bass Module 700 and was blown away on how great it sounded & I didn’t even have it that loud. Finally pulled the trigger for Black Friday and all I can say is WOW! I’m even more impressed now that I have it at home set to my personal settings and can have as loud as I want! Whether I’m watching movies, listening to music or for my favorite GAMING, (when playing solo of course) this set up didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to add the surround speakers if and when there’s a new set with upwards firing.

    The sound is amazing and the app connected right away. I like the fact it works with the Google assistant so you can control it with your voice. Also, I like that the voices sound clear, especially at night when you don’t want to have the volume to high, you can listen to the dialogues and all the sounds. If you are watching an action movie, then the sound is even better! I recommend this product.

    Let me start by saying ive tried LG , polk audio , SAMSUNG AND NONE compare to BOSE ! i own the 900 soundbar + the 700 sub and the 300 rear speakers. People its top notch quality , sound is crispy clear (you can adjust everything to your liking on the app) and sub is super loud i normaly have to keep it on -70 so it stops shaking the house and floor. Wow what a beast when you complete the set up. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ! I love my set up not one single regret just super satisfying to watch my movies and listen to music. BOSE IS ABOVE ALL.

    So far it's been working well. I did have trouble during setup while trying to download the latest firmware. I had to do a reset before I could continue with the set up. I also had issues with the arc connection not being recognized, this was also solved by unplugging and plugging the hdmi back in. Other than that it's the great sound quality you'd expect from bose and the speaker and subwoofer look great. I just wish everything else worked a little smoother considering this is one of the most expensive soundbars you could own.

    I went in to buy something different altogether but was blown away by the audio quality of this sound bar. The dialogie, musical notes and bass are perfectly clear and distinctly audible. The Bose app makes day to day usage easy. Setup and connectivity were simple. I have barely used my remote, everything is managed through the app.

    This soundbar 900 produces the phenomenal sound in the segment. My TV is 25' distance and the AdaptIQ headset barely able to reach the couch, however, it tunes wonderfully, I watched YT, Prime, Peacock and other contents and Bose TrueSpace technology works superb! I got the OpenBox excellent which is even cheaper that 700 price, 125 cheaper. Man, the speaker is super heavy, and a true piece of engineering from Bose, solid sturdy, and glass top is elegant! The holes in the Glass make your room filled with Sound Bubble, Dolby Atmos! I am using ARC, not eARC and still can play Dolby Atmos content (You can check which content is playing on TV by going to Bose App and it shows Dolby Atmos, for example, if playing Tomorrow's war in Prime), so yeah, eARC is NOT must to have, ARC can do the job for older TV owners.. As I said, I bought it OpenBox Excellent from Manassas BB outlet, I checked the condition at the store to ensure I am getting the excellent condition piece, it had all needed accessories including brand new Batteries, If I needed, I still could return it (within 60 days I guess), But I am NOT returning this great grab. It's 125 cheaper than 700, made the great deal overall! Now, the Bose APP, it has Dialogue Mode setting, when it's ON, it provides best dialogue speech from TV. Well for Bass, it's more than enough with low thump for my 25' x 30' large living room. Bose greatness truly showers the sound with full details, not missing any beats from contents, I discovered many new sounds from the same songs even I listened those songs 1000s times in non-Bose products!. In Bose App, I tuned with- Dialogue Mode: Off, AdaptIQ: ON, Center channel: 10, Heigh Channel: 90, Bass: 40, Treble: 40. With this tuning, I get the best surround sound even I did NOT hook up any other speakers other than just this beast 900. It is the true power of the Bose that it can sustain and produces best overall sound just with a single Soundbar 900. My couch is touching the wall across the TV, distance at 22-23 feet with recliners, and still can feel the sound is reaching to my left and right! The height channel is strong which I experienced in Prime's Quiet Place 2 movie scene, when creature jumps in to the tunnels/underground, the effects feel that it jumped over from my roof to my living room ha! And in the same movie, in frist 10 min, the dog barks when he shows alien ships entering the earth, that fire ball sounds terrific, and dog barking felt he barks from my kitchen. Yes, My TV facing couch, and the side has openings for Kitchen, thoguh, doesn't deteriorate sound quality when AdaptIQ is ON. Now setting up AdaptIQ, you need to plug the Headphone cable, little ackward position across the power cable, but works for me, sit down at your fav spot on couch, run the IQ technic, which throws some sound on your walls, multiple directions, the AI technology grabs the distance of the wall and your siting position, and then analyze for throwing frequency on the wall off to you!. Hope this review helps, and get one, you will bless yourself!!

    Bought this for my newly constructed man cave. It's a great soundbar. Easy to setup. I have a ZVOX on my main TV. Huge difference albeit the ZVOX is an older model. I added Bass module 700 and Surround Speakers 700. Incredible sound all around. TV, movies, gaming, music. I'm all in with Bose.

    Incredible Soundbar, but also checkout 600 line.

    Really great quality soundbar and works effortlessly with my full setup including the Bose Surround speakers and Bose 500 subwoofer which are both wirelessly connected. It’s a major upgrade over the standard Bose Soundbar I used to use with my smaller 65” TV. I contemplated the 600 line Soundbar but haven’t tried to compare, I’ve heard they are very similar but the 900 produces higher volumes - so something to consider if your budget is tighter or want to spend more of your budget on the TV rather than the sound.
