    Great sound but has a glitch

    Sound is amazing, especially when one considers how small it is. I highly recommend adding the base module as the soundbar is severely lacking in the lower frequencies, but that will be true of any soundbar. The good news is the sound it produces is clean and clear. You really do get what you pay for. One odd glitch is that if you pause a movie or tv show for too long the sound goes out and the only way to fix it is to turn off the tv and the soundbar for at least 20 minutes.

    Bose has done it again! Just when you think they are getting long in the tooth, BANG! They surprise you. The 900 is a great sounding bar on its own. Paired with the 700 bass module and wireless surround speakers you have a complete home theater solution only bested by much pricier components systems. Movie playback is where the system truly shines with fantastic a sound stage that immerses you in the story. Calibrate with the adaptIQ and you have sound tailored to you listening environment. I replaced the original 300 which was a great value in its day. I’ve had Bose Products for the past 10 year and nearly walked away because of lack of innovation. The sound bar 900 rumbles in and now I’m once again a dedicated Bose fan. Hope they keep the hits coming!

    Very good sound on its own. You can add a subwoofer if you love bass like I do but even for me, this is good enough for now on its own. Only issue is that when I would switch to bluetooth on my phone; later I would have no luck to hear the sound from my tv. Had to play around a bit with it to get it back working. That would be my only issue but, it is an important one for everyday use as it can get annoying

      Hi Julio,

      I'm happy that you're enjoying the sound and finding the bass to your liking. When switching back to your TV after using Bluetooth, please make sure you press the TV button on the remote to ensure the Soundbar has the TV set to the source. If you're still needing to play around a bit, then please reach out https://bose.life/3rykPZR as we'd love to help.

    Sounds ok but better with the 700 sub. Looks nice it was between this and the sonas sound bar but I didn’t like the rounded shape of the other bar Bose sits nicer looks better than the rounded sonas SB

    I can’t explain the high quality and precise sound this system has. I bought the bundle with the tiny discount but once I figured out how to connect and pair everything (take phone off Wi-Fi after downloading app and BT to soundbar) by using the YouTube video, i was blown away by the sound clarity base, equalizing options from the app and the connection quality with no lag. I can’t watch a movie for listening to music like i have my own home club and theater. Worth every savings draining penny. I had to check on my neighbors like. This system will give you CPR. BOSE!!! This system is #1 and nothing compares. I’ve had the Samsung system fir years, but this can’t be touch and neither can the price tag. Lol. Think I’ll try the buds next.

    Pricey buy it’s worth it. This is my first soundbar I like the design compact and low profile. I recommend pairing it with Bose bass module 700 to take full benefit of home theater experience.

    This speaker is unbelievable. I have 14 ft high ceilings that is 20 by 15 in size and I could never find any speakers that would work. All speakers I have tried before have never worked bc it would always leave an echo sound to any we watched in our living room. I am so very happy with this Bose 900 soundbar bc it eliminated the echo and now I can understand whatever I am watching on my TV. Thank you to the BestBuy employees for recommending this soundbar to me.
