    The sales person was helpful to suggest getting the product with some savings simply because one was returned because his or her Dad did not like it. That was very thoughtful of him. the smart soundbar fills the living room with rich music and I almost every evening enjoy it.

    We initially purchased a Sonos soundbar only to discover that it was not compatible with our T-Mobile 5G internet router. The Bose soundbar setup was easy and is easily paired with our LG remote for our TV. There were no issues with the setup and our Internet. Bose customer service was extremely helpful and informative in advising us to disconnect our mesh extender when we did dthe initial setup. The bass will be better with the addition of a subwoofer but the sound clarity from this bar is great, even when voices are almost at a whisper.

    It sounds great but something went wrong with the app when setting it up and I couldn’t connect to it again after initial setup. Factory reset it a few times and it seemed like it was hard set on initial settings with no access.

    I stumbled upon this soundbar as "open box". It had a very minor scratch on it which you could hardly see. It worked perfectly and I mounted it under my 86" TV. The sound is incredible and it even connects to my amazon account. This was a steal since I bought it for $299 under that open box.

    I bought this smaller sound bar, it sounded great but knew it could be better. So I got the bigger sound bar.. but if you are looking for great quality sound for half the price, but half the sound. I would definitely suggest this bar..

    I upgrade my TV soundbar combo about every 10 years as the TV usually gives out 1st. I went with Bose this time as I like the ability to control all Bose products in the app. I also have their QC headphones and can turn down the soundbar and listen with just the headphones. The sound quality is good and can hear quite conversations in tv shows. Overall, the best SB offered from Bose. I have the open back ear buds, and the personal surround sound is a great option if you don't have room for rear speakers.

    Nice clear voices on this Bose. Using it in a bedroom and has more than enough volume for small and medium sized room. Great high and mid range. If your looking for alot of base you may want to add a woofer. I feel it was priced well for the quality of the speaker.

    Ok love Bose but hard to buy this when a third-party buyer has the subwoofer and the sound bar on sale for 870 for both items and I’m buying one item for 500 and something odd dollars wow meanwhile they’re making a killing on the selling of both for 800 and I like to stay honest and be upfront with my buyer, which is Best Buy amazing

    I was blown away by the sound. Everything just sounds great, no adjustments necessary. Movies sounded amazing and that dialogue enhancement actually works. Good for small room. The ATMOS effect was just okay but I don't think you can get that great ATMOS unless you invest in much more expensive system. Ultimately I returned it because I wanted something with rear surrounds. But if you want a soundbar without rear speakers than this is a great. I would have kept it but wanted the rears.

    The Bose Smart Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and Voice Control delivers clear, immersive sound with height effects, offers easy streaming and smart-assistant control, and is a sleek, powerful upgrade for any TV—though adding a subwoofer boosts the bass experience.

    Bose had the best sound clarity. Every word is crystal clear. I have watched shows I’ve seen before and with the Bose sound bar heard so much of the show that I missed because the sound in the show was filmed at a lower volume than the main actors.

    It’s well worth the money and sound great. It has 5 speakers that are crystal clear, however, I returned it and purchased the Bose Ultra Smart Soundbar, simply because it’s in a large room in a house not condo or townhouse. I will get another for my bedroom when I get around to setting the audio up in that room. Bose is truly the best of the best (IMHO) and when I initially started shopping for one, it was Bose or Sonos, but because of the WiFi issue with Sonos (area out of service), it renders it useless. But I’ve had Bose most of my adult life, so it was a very easy choice.

    Excellent voice clarity and bass compared to tv speakers. Using this for bedroom and don’t have room for subwoofer/surround speakers, but this does the job perfectly. Wish I bought this sooner.

    Purchased as a gift. I contacted my friend a few weeks later after replacing his LG soundbar with this Bose. He’s really enjoying his Bose system that includes a Bose 500 subwoofer. He always wanted a Bose system. Thanks Bose for making his dream a reality. He now saving to purchase Bose rear speakers. I would recommend this system for anyone looking to purchase a soundbar/ subwoofer for a small or medium size room. For a larger room I recommend the smart soundbar/ sub 700 with Bose 700 rear speaker.
