    Bought the Bose Sound Bar 900 to replace my very old Bose Lifestyle surround sound system (that was well over 20 years old). Once again Bose superior sound quality and attention to details in their products are second to none. I have had this Sound Bar for over a year and a half and I have NEVER had any issues. Some reported having issues during set up but I never encountered an issues during setup or after. If you want quality, I believe Bose sets the standards in sound quality no matter the volume.

    We purchased a new Samsung 65" QLED NEO tv in December and the sound quality was sort of week. After reading other customers reviews about the tv's sound quality, we researched "soundbars" and since we have other Bose products already we decided on the Bose 900. It sounds great especially with the Bose 700 sub woofer.

    Really great sound bar from Bose. The quality you would expect from Bose shows as does the excellent sound quality. As usual with Bose, it comes with a hefty price tag and you will need the bass speaker to get all you expect from this system, it’s lame on bass. You must configure it via the phone app without any instructions from Bose. It’s fairly easy once you get connected but Bose should include better installation instructions. As far as sound, this is an excellent sounding sound bar. Highs and Miss are terrific with bass lacking a punch. Separation is great and even the Atmos was a surprise as the top firing speakers do add to its presence. All in all a absolutely great sound system, add the 700 base module and 700 surrounds to complete your system!

    Bose sound never disappoints. We bought this soundbar for our new Samsung Frame TV instead of the SONOS because of its sleek design; it fit into our space more discreetly. The sound is awesome and powerful. The only negative I have is the app to connect my music has been difficult to find my phone.

    Its a great system! Downside from it is that it unpairs with alexa MANY times!. I have had to pair/unpair many times and also connect it via infrared instead of the hdmi due to being glitchy and not giving any sound whatsoever.

    Bose Smart Soundbar 900 with Dolby Atmos- Best

    This Bose Smart Soundbar 900 has been a pleasure to hear and almost flawless to me. If you want and love "high-quality" sound when watching movies, shows, sports, and TV, this sound bar won't disappoint. I have used it to play consoles as well, and it's great. The sound bar itself doesn't have a pass thru. This soundbar hooks up to the TV with HDMI, but if you EARC and plenty of HDMI's in your TV, then it won't be an issue to play the best sound in this soundbar. It rarely disconnects, so to get things back on track, all I do is unplug it for 30 seconds, plug it all back in, and let it all sync, choose the soundbar from the TV menu(I have Samsung CX OLED 65") as the main sound output and you are good to go. It rarely happens to me. I bought the wireless subwoofer as well, you can hook up; up to two wireless subwoofers, and the sound it's just incredible. Highly recommended.

    Good but a couple of quirks (questions)

    I replaced my lifestyle v35 with the 900. I checked out several other products in store and online before I made my choice. The final 2 came down to the Sonos arc and the 900. I did listen to the ARC in the store. It was good but the 900 sounded better , just clearer to my ears. Now to Atmos content. Watching Disney plus Atmos content did give a spacial feel but the overhead effect I was expecting was not there. Maybe someone can comment on fine-tuning it. Another gripe is when when Spotify is playing via Chromecast and the TV is turned on , the audio does not automatically switch but the reverse is not true. Wondering if there is a way to change input priority. Other than that, music sounds great, base is very present but not jarring or overpowering. 900 is a very capable sound system

    Bose delivered with this sound bar. I was skeptical about it, but man was I wrong. The clarity and immersion offered by this sound bar is incredible. Luckily, I was able to find a pair of 700 surround speakers (since they are sold out everywhere) and it made the immersion immensely better. I had just gotten not too long ago a Sonos Arc with the bass and One SL's and I immediately returned them. I tried to like Sonos, but the whole dependent on WiFi functionality was a deal breaker for me. So I got the whole Bose setup and I could not be happier. Atmos on this setup is out of this world. First movie I tried Atmos with was Black Widow and I was blown away. I am glad I returned my Sonos setup for the Bose.

    Great quality, extremely easy to set up. Along with the application it immerses you in a movie going experience, by auditory mapping your room to provide the best sound setting for your seats.

    This bar has made my sound system SOOOOO nice sounding, without taking up a bunch of space. Sometimes I accidentally get it into a weird muted mode (maybe the Alexa capability is doing this by mistake)

    For some reason it will not connect to the TV sometimes and I have to reset the TV and Fire TV cube. It’s pretty annoying. Sound quality is great though.
