This soundbar has a great, crisp sound. We can hear audio details that weren't event in our old Roku soundbar. It was really easy to set up. We had it connected in minutes. I bought this for my husband mostly because we were frustrated with the way other soundbar volumes would fluctuate as we watched a movie. The voices would be hard to hear while the background noises would sound too loud. With this soundbar the voices are clear and easy to understand without compromising the music or background audio. Of course we had high expectations of a Bose speaker. I'm happy to say it lived up to it's reputation.

I had originally bought the Bose Smart Soundbar out of a need to have some more powerful and clear music, voice and sound control. On a side note getting older sometimes sucks. This fits the bill in more ways than one. I went back and bought the bass module and the rear surround sound speakers. Bose has served me well throughout the years and the premium items is creates are always welcome.

Firsr I bought Bose Speaker then upgraded to the smart sound bar. I wanted an App. The sound quality is good. What I don't like is the App. I would think for the money we would get a full EQ. instead we have height, treble, bass, and center channel. I watch mostly news shows on Youtube TV and sometimes some newscasters have more base, or muffled or treble. It can adjusted but not as much as if I had a real EQ.
The saving grace is when watching a movie or listening to music the speaker sounds awesome and there is enough adjustment with the app provided.
You also can't adjust the height unless Atmos is present. but the problem is there is no idicator to show if atmos is on the show you are watching.
In a way I liked the Bose Speaker better for value. but there was no treble adj on it's own remote and no app. iF i can find a 3rd party eq I'd be very happy.
Before I had the bose Speaker soundbar I had the TCL the App was awesome but the sound was junk.
Over all I'm happy with this sound bar. If you want great hardware this is a good choice. If you want great software I'd look else where.

We purchased this sound bar a TV at the cabin where the ceilings are 19' high. We would always put the TV on CC because we struggled to hear the dialogue during movies. This sound bar works perfectly in this large space, we don't need the CC anymore and the overall sound is so much better.

After much research between Sonos ( app issues prevalent ) and others to high or wide for placement on stand with TCL tv, I decided to go with new Bose Smart Soundbar and am glad I did. Had Bose 600 a couple of years ago and was not happy with bass. Switched to Sony Hts2000, but other than music, never was satisfied with voice. This is a different beast. Excellent sound and clear voice. Software upgrades by Bose has given this soundbar better bass. Extremely satisfied, I got this on sale. Bose products are typically never offered at discounted prices

Really easy to set up. I had an older BOSE SOLO that eventually went out on me. This is definitely an upgrade and happy that I went with this. Easy to connect and easy to use with my phone. No more hunting down small remote controls and the Bluetooth with my phone is great. Oh yeah and the sound is awesome, especially in dark quite scenes, you can hear the dialog perfect.

I wanted a soundbar to provide better sound quality from what is provided by the TV. I went to the Best Buy in Woodland and spoke with an associate.
I explained what I needed and he patiently went through features of the various soundbars and offered a suggestion that this device might best fit my needs. He was absolutely correct and I would recommend this item.

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.

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.

The Best Soundbar I've Ever Have!

I recently purchased this item. Observations: Incredible immersive sound for its size; uses true space technology which intelligently analyzes signals (other than Atmos) like stereo or 5.1 channel; and it features an acoustic architecture that fits five transducers into its compact frame. Moreover it can stream songs and video via bluetooth, apple airplay 2, andspotify connect.

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..

It was everything I thought it would be, at this price point. Especially since it went on sale as I was making my decision. Quality of sound is excellent, even at higher volume levels. “LOUD” Rock doesn’t break apart. Fun to crank it up! Stays solid. When you set correctly, the words are easily understood. Don’t become muddled, even with 100% bass.
The app is an absolute necessity! The only negative is that the use of the app is not easily understood or user friendly at times. Had to do extra “AI” searches to find correct procedures to fix problems. Now that it’s connected correctly with my TV, if you want BIG bass you will need a separate bass module. I would definitely buy again.

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.

Bose Smart Soundbar w/Doby Atmos

I've always heard great things about Bose speakers and own their small portable speaker. It produces exceptional sound for such a small speaker. So when I was looking for a portable sound system to complement a new Valerion 4K lifestyle projector I recently purchased, I decided to look at soundbars.
After reading many reviews, I compared the Sonos soundbar, and the Bose soundbar. The Doby Atmos sold me along with my past experience with Bose. I can say the sound on this is beyond my expectations. It has a full sound that fills my Family Room and that's on a low setting.
I paired this with Bose wireless surround speakers so that watching movies on the big screen is truly an immersive experience.
If you want a great surround system to fill your room and transport you into the movies this is a very worthy investment that won't break the bank, and gives you great sound.
Setup and pairing with the other speakers was easy and everything can run and be controlled directly from your i-phone. All you do is just download the app.
Bose continues to impress me! Look no further,

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.
