    Has a great sound over other sound bars. No need of soundwoofer unless you want a bigger sound.

    The sound bar sounds amazing on its own, but I also purchased the subwoofer and together it sounds amazing. One of my favorite purchases!

    This sound bar sounds great and it's impressive what it can do in such a small size, but overall I'm not thrilled with it. First time set up was simple and went well. You need to download the bose app, not the bose music app that the soundbar displays on screen. I hooked it up to my hdmi arc port on my Hisense TV to take full advantage of the Dolby Atmos and it sounded fantastic the first evening I watched TV. The next night of TV watching was the problem, no sound! I tried solutions for over an hour with no results. I ended up using the optical port, that gave me sound right away. That doesn't support Atmos tho. I tried again the next day and only got it working by unhooking everything from the back of the TV and hooking up the sound bar 1st. Again it only worked until I turned it off. No sound is sent to the hdmi port when powered back on. Contacting Bose support got me a couple other options to try, which didn't work and Bose hasn't gotten back to me for any further support. Hopefully there will be a fix, as reading online, many different bose soundbars have this problem. It's at too high a price point to have issues right out of the box.

      Thanks for your review of the Smart Soundbar! I'm happy you love the Dolby Atmos sound, and that setting the soundbar up initially was easy enough.

      The Bose Music app has indeed been rebranded as the Bose app. If you're not always getting sound via HDMI-eARC, there could be numerous reasons for this. The soundbar is not necessarily at fault, there could just be some HDMI-CEC settings that need altering. Your TV may also be in need of a firmware update.

      I would suggest trying our support team again, so we can continue the troubleshooting we've tried so far, and get your soundbar and TV working seamlessly together, so you can enjoy your Dolby Atmos content! The team can be contacted here: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

      Warm regards

    Its not the 600

    I bought this thinking it would deliver the same quality as the Bose 600, but it fell short. The app kept it stuck in an endless update loop, and while it did work with the TV, I still had issues with low dialogue clarity. Disappointing overall. Returned the next day

      Hi William, it's true that the Smart Soundbar has no AUX outlet. This output is not included on the majority of our smart soundbars, and the only way around it would be to purchase a third-party optical-to-AUX adapter. I hope this information is useful!
