    The original sound bar was defective. However, Best Buy replaced it immediately with a new one and it is amazing. I have other Bose products so have always been a fan. The sound is amazing. I added the bass as well and I could not be happier with this investment

    This sound bar is reasonably easy to set up and the sound is simply amazing. Bose products have always performed well for me and this product is no exception. For anyone looking for deep, rich base and clear sounds on voice this is the bar for you!

    Amazing sound and build quality. It truly sounds like you’re surrounded by speakers. The sound bars bass is pretty good on its own, but I also got the Bose Bass Module 700 (subwoofer) to pair with it. It feels like it shakes the room.

    Excellent soundbar even without add-on speakers, 3D effect and great musicality. Coupled with almost the smallest surround speakers in the market (Surround 700) and Base Module 700, the system is out of this world with balanced sound and really deep bass.

    Good sound quality but software is underwhelming and connection to subwoofer requires wired connection to avoid delay and cracking. Speaker volume needs to be installed to loud in order to truly appreciate experience which is annoying when you just want a little calm. Would've expected a better all around speaker experience from Bose.

      Hello Cherise,

      It's great to hear you were impressed by the sound quality, but I'm sorry to hear you've had issues with crackling/delay using a subwoofer. This shouldn't be happening, but crackling is generally attributed to when there is a nearby source of interference. This can be an internet router, for example. To prevent this from happening, please relocate the subwoofer closer to the soundbar (bass modules/subwoofers are more forgiving in terms of placement as lower frequency sounds travel differently to higher frequency sounds such as those from the soundbar.)

      If you still need help, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our friendly support team via https://bose.life/3ET4mCs.

    I will tell you I love the Bose sound quality. I have had issues with it continuously staying synced to my TV. When it’s worming it is truly an amazing experience. Wishing I would have purchased the Samsung sound system I’m thinking that wouldn’t be dealing with the connectivity issue all the time. But will persistently figure out how to finally solve this problem.

    I want to love this sound bar but it constantly loses connection requiring a restart. The sound quality is fantastic for just a sound bar and the quality it to notch. I always seem to have issues when trying to connect via airplay, it will show its playing but no sound. I either redownload the latest firmware or unplug and plug in again and then it works. Same thing with normal pass through sound, sometimes when you turn the tv on no sound. Turn off tv and back on it will sometimes work but others you have to do the tricks mentioned above.

      Hi Adam,

      It's great that you're enjoying the sound quality of your soundbar. I'm sorry that you sometimes encounter some issues with audio playing. We greatly appreciate the efforts you continue to make to resolve this.

      When it comes to the TV audio, it would be great to know if you're connected through HDMI or Optical. If HDMI, then you'll benefit from adjusting the CEC settings within the Bose Music app. You can find out how to do that here - https://bose.life/3rhR4IT. Including on and off, there are 8 different settings. As there are many different make and models of TVs, this allows for different communications for the most stable connection.

      Should that not result in a fix for the TV audio, we have some more helpful tips here - https://bose.life/3zcjZlo.

      Regarding the AirPlay audio issue, I'd recommend that you reboot your router. You can normally do this by powering it down for at least 60 seconds.

      If any issues persist, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer support - https://bose.life/2WZOG8Z.

      Thanks,
      Charlotte - Bose Customer Support bose

    Excellent soundbar, optional sub not needed.

    This being my first soundbar, I don't really have anything to compare it to. Stopped into the store, listened to different brands that had displays set up in the store. Thought this one sounded the best. I bought it. I'm happy with it. Personally I think the soundbar does not need the optional sub woofer add-on as it suits my needs just fine. The manual setup for the spatial sound (I think that's what it's called), or whatever fine tunes the soundbar to the room and where you sit in said room is a bit weird, bordering on annoying. But it's quick, just have to repeat the process five times, so have fun with that. I know some of you try-hard audiophiles out there are pulling your hair out at my statement about the sub being optional. Deal with it neckbeards.

    This Bose sound bar rocks. I’ll thought I was buying a sound bar but this is so much more, I never knew what it does until I purchased this Bose 900 sound bar. This thing is a tuner that will replace my existing tuner and saves tons of space under my TV. The sound alone on the sound bar is crisp and clear just like you would. expect speakers to be from Bose. This is also remotely attached to a subwoofer and two other speakers for surround sound. This thing is amazing. I’m glad we invested in this nice piece of sound system. Highly recommended if you are a music buff. I travel and take this thing with me and blow sound up in the hotels and party areas. We love it.
