Surround sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound if you need just a soundbar. Defintely need sub and rear speaker if you want the full surround experience.

Software bug. Constantly stop working. Must reboot
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this soundbar a month ago and 12 days after the purchase date it stopped producing sound. I unplug the power cord and thought I would take it back to the store to return it, but I thought I would plug it back again to see if it would work and it did. So, I decided to keep it. Later, the same problem happened again several times. I was watching TV and suddenly the soundbar lost sound. I unplug the power cord and then plug it back and it would work again. Now, I passed the returnable date. So, I cannot return it to the store. Today this problem happened twice. So I felt compelled to write a review to warn you guys that this had to be caused by the soundbar software bug. If you don't mind constantly having to unplug and plug the speaker, you can buy it and enjoy the good sound. Please note that turning off the speaker does not solve the problem. You must often unplug the power cord and plug it back again to make the speaker work again. Very disappointing after you spend almost $1,000 on it.

Posted .Hello Will, I'm sorry to hear you are losing sound on the soundbar. From what you have described, this could be related to HDMI CEC settings. I would recommend trying the advanced CEC steps found on this support article: https://bose.life/373Xyoh. Please try options 4 and 6 as these will be audio related.
We would love to help you further with this, you can contact our technical support teams who are more than happy to assist, their contact details can be accessed here: https://bose.life/3MtD74s.

I’ve owned 7 of their products. Read my review.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have purchased the Bose 500 (two of them) and 900 sound bars, 500 & 700 subwoofers and 500 & 700 surrounds. The sound quality is superb. Exquisite even. Now the downsides. These don’t play well with TVs. I couldn’t get the TV remotes to turn the volume up on the Bose soundbar. With EARC you can have devices communicate things like volume and on/off signals to all devices. Bose is EARC “compatible” Not at all. I purchased 3 different brand high quality TVs just to get these sound bars to work. Really. I literally went through three brand new TVs so I could keep the Bose products. I connected directly to the TVs with a few different quality HDMI cables. I even had geek squad out and they were baffled. I use an Apple TV and I couldn’t get that remote to work with the Bose stuff either. I had to use the infrared on my Apple Remote to finally get the soundbar to work. Ya like 60 year old technology. So because the soundbar is under the TV and on a high TV entertainment unit I have to have direct line of sight between the remote and soundbar. This means my arm must go way up in the air to change the volume every time. It’s even more fun laying on the couch. The TV and Apple Remote are set up for Bluetooth. Beautiful. No more aiming at the tv. Till Bose. It sucks. Same thing for my Bose 500 in the bedroom on a smaller tv. HDMI won’t even work with the sound bar for sound. I have to use another old technology. Optical cable. It works but just barely. Oh yes and on both systems the updates are horrible. They get stuck all the time updating. Days stuck on the update. Meanwhile I can’t use any app features like dialogue mode. Then I have to play a game to get them unstuck. This usually results in having to reconnect the subwoofer and surrounds which is a huge pain. Oh and sometime it deletes the IQ feature which takes a bunch of time to set up too. I can spend an hour resetting things up because of updates. One last thing about their proprietary products. These can not be used with any other products. I went to use my 500 subwoofer in my office for my computer and it doesn’t use a normal input. So I put it back in the bedroom. It made me realize that someday when the soundbar dies I will be unable to make use of the sub and surround speakers. To have a soundbar go out and have the rest of the working speakers be unable to work is a waste of money. Buy Sonos instead. I’m going to switch to them on my next purchase. The sound quality of Bose isn’t worth the nightmare.
