    This Soundbar is outstanding - and so is Best Buy! I had previously owned the Soundbar 700 when unfortunately I had some issues with it after a couple years. Thankfully I had the Best Buy service plan and was able to get credit for a replacement. I bought the 900 since it was in stock and never looking back. The way the sound fills the room and the included Dolby Atmos support makes this Soundbar worth every penny! Bose sound is unmatched in my opinion and this Soundbar delivers that signature sound every time I turn it on. Great job with this one Bose!

    Set up was a bit painful (reason for 4 stars) but we love the soundbar. I had the 300 before and sound from was good but not great. So I upgraded to the 900 and dont regret it one bit. Its the family room filling sound I hoped I had purchased a few years ago with the 300. I also have the 700 sub paired with it and it packs a nice punch. Definitely recommend.

    Awesome soundbar. I upgraded from the soundtouch 300. I also have the bass module 700 and the rear speakers to complete the home theater experience. Its an easy set up, no problems at all during set up. The Bose app is a big plus, and easy to navigate. Sound is clear and crisp, and the calibration process is pretty straight forward.

    I had purchased the Bose Soundbar 300 only 6 months ago, but then Bose came out with this one, and I decided to splurge. The 900 was much easier to set up and the app makes it very easy to adjust the settings. One thing that was never mentioned with either soundbar is that if you are dusting the top of the soundbar, it can turn it off with just a gentle movement across the top so be forwarned. I could never figure out why my soundbar was being turned off occasionally. Other than that, the deep bass and clear sound quality coming off this unit is amazing.

    I think this is one of the best soundbars around, especially at Best Buy, for $599 on a new soundbar! I think it's almost if not as good as the Bose Smart Ultra, which is $899 new and not just $599 like the 900, the years last model or a few years. However I liked the bass on the Ultra better and overall stage presence, however not by too much maybe. The Bose Soundbar 900 had better overall treble and got louder, before it got distorted. That last part I read from a forum so please forgive me if I'm not giving a 'whole' personal experience. What you could do to try this loudness thing out if you have or can get both of the bars and listen to one one one of the same brand and model of another TV, vice versa. While pressing the volume up on each, one after the other, so you can get (maybe) more realistic comparison... I can't rate them, but for the price of $599, I see it as an amazing Best Buy for the price!

    Excellent addition to my new TV. To complete your tv viewing experience you need good quality sound. Bose 900 soundbar is excellent and good upgrade. For many years I used Bose 1~2~3. Time was for upgrading old systems. Bose 900 soundbar is simple to connect and use. Sound is fantastic.

    I had an all around great experience with my purchase of the Bose 900 soundbar. The customer service both in the store and in my home helped to make the selection and the installation perfect. I needed a soundbar to enhance the quality of the speaking voices on my Samsung TV. I first shopped in the store but could not make a decision. The salesperson suggested that someone come to my home to assess the acoustics in the room and to assess the quality of the sound from the TV. After the home visit, I returned to the store, met with the same salesperson who had come to my home. He helped to guide me by showing me and having me listen to a few different sound bars. Once I made my selection of the Bose 900, it was delivered to my home and set up. I had some questions and the technician answered all of them including showing me how the soundbar would work so I could listen to the music on my phone. I am very satisfied with the Bose 900 soundbar. The speaking voices as I watch TV are definitely more clear and I am no longer totally dependent on closed captions. The Bose 900 is an excellent choice.

    I did a LOT of research as there are a lot of different products and price ranges. I wanted a bar that (1) fits below my 75 inch big screen, (2) doesn’t attract a lot of attention, i.e. is pretty much invisible, (3) was going to last years, (4) only came with the soundbar but had the ability to be expanded in the future with a subwoofer and satellite speakers, and (5) had impeccable sound quality. Very happy with the Bose 900. Checks sll the boxes. Still running the system through its paces but very pleased.

    Excellent sound and style! Got the Bass Module 500 with it and totally happy with the volume at 50% on both units in a 24'X16' family room. Even happier Best Buy had them in stock and on sale! Completely solves the problem of difficulty hearing dialogue for our family even without using the special "dialogue" setting. Great job Bose but really the sale price should be the normal price

    Nothing much to say when it comes to accoustics with bose - setup needs to be done properly with the app based on the tv view locations to get best outputs from this. Even without the woofer this soundbar can just give goosebumps with the atmos . Awesome too good

    This is surely the best and beast among all other peers. I am using this soundbar with my Sony 75' and the dolby atmos from bose 900 makes my living room a mini theatre. The only downside is, the soundbar remote does not have all controls and to play music from any other device, it needs to be played through bose app..even to connect the speaker with Bluetooth, it needs to be done through the app itself.

    I have had very bad luck with soundbars over the years, and I was a tad apprehensive about spending so much on this one. The reviews were solid and it was on sale, so I took the plunge. Wow. I didn’t think you could get such performance from a soundbar. After taking the time to calibrate the ADAPTIQ ( which was an interesting, but entertaining experience in and of itself) I was immediately blown away! I added the subwoofer and even without the back channels, this thing is throwing superior surround sound! If you’re thinking about buying this, do it! You won’t be disappointed. Even the packaging is superior! I can’t say enough about Bose, these days it seems like you rarely get what you pay for, but this soundbar is an exception!

    best all in one soundbar that still fits under most TVs on a stand. perhaps if i had more room i would have gone for the sonos arc but alas i did not. this has more than met expectations for the price and movie audio is super immersive and music sounds awesome. might supplement with a sub down the road but bass is more than fine.

    Replaced this with a old Vizio soundbar i had for years. All i can say is Bose knows there Audio. I decided to just get the soundbar and not the Subs and extra surround speakers. Mostly because the price of the items. Im perfectly happy with what I got. The sound is crisp and there are so many features you can use via the bose app. The only con is the remote doesnt have many options and you need to do everything through the app.

    I like this more than my ARC from the other guys. Much better bass no need for a sub. I have this in my home office under a Qled 60 and recently added the rear surrounds. It fills this small 20 x 20 space perfectly with great sound

    I looked at numerous sound bars and decided on the Bose based on previous Bose products that I owned many years ago. The sound bar is crisp and clear, I also added the Bass 700 module and also purchased the Surround 700’s. I am very happy with the sound stage of this set up crisp clear dialog and tremendous bass. Sure I could have bought a complete receiver/5.1 speaker set up, the Dolby Atmos would be lacking going that route.

    My prior sound bar was ok. It wasn't really designed for the room it was in (a great room with a vaulted ceiling), and the nature of audio being surround sound made dialog sound muddled. We ended up watching TV with the closed captioning on most of the time. There are some great soundbars out there, we chose the Bose 900. It handles surround sound much better, and the smartphone app allows you to tailor the individual channels to be sure you have voice clarity. It's amazing. We can listen with clarity at lower volume as well. Lots of app settings to help compatibility in all kinds of situations. Highly recommended. One note. The subwoofer doesn't like the 5G in home wifi. It'll crackle. Just plug in using the 3.5mini jack and the problem goes away.
