Great product.......I've been a fan of Bose for years! Sound is exceptional!

This sound bar is awesome. Voices are clear and distinguishable. Sound is projected throughout my livingroom, and it's like I'm there in the movie.

Gotta give it a crappy score because the connectivity is awful. Sometimes it will connect with the remote. Sometimes it requires a complete power cycle (I bought a remote-controlled power outlet to make that easier). But it almost NEVER just powers up connected via HDMI. Optical was worse. For this kind of money, and with the Bose name ... shame on Bose! The sound is wonderful. The surround is wonderful (as long as you also buy the rear speakers), and it can be tailored just the way I want it. I like it for sports, above all. The app is good. It's a great product, the best sound bar/rear speaker system I've ever had ,,, once it gets connected. It just shouldn't be this hard. Or this random. No product should be this random, let alone a high end product. I tried all the connectivity options in the app - none of them made it better.

Hi there - I'm happy to hear you like the sound of the Smart Ultra Soundbar per se, as well as the performance of the Bose app. If you're experiencing connectivity issues via both HDMI and optical, then the different HDMI-CEC options in the app might not be the fix. It could be that there's an issue with the TV, or with the cables between the TV and soundbar. If power-cycling the TV and soundbar for at least 5 minutes doesn't help, I would recommend contacting our support team, who can take a closer look here: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Easy to install and sounds great. I have owned many Bose products in the past and this soundbar that I paired with the SB500 subwoofer has not disappointed. I tried a different brand first trying to save a few bucks but ended up returning it in favor of the Smart Ultra. I have not experienced the connection issues that others have mentioned. Other than the firmware update that took place without warning it has performed flawlessly.

The sound bar itself is fantastic (5 stars); excellent sound quality and reproduction of Dolby, Atmos and surround sound encoded sources. What is challenging is the setup process, which is only 3 stars. The Bose app is glitchy, and the online help articles are not well written. From trial and error, it helps to make sure that the sound bar has been manually reset to factory setting before attempting to install it on your local wifi network. Once you're beyond this initial installation process, adding on additional Bose and compatible products (e.g. subwoofer) is easy.

The Bose sound bar not only looks amazing it sounds amazing as well compared to my previous soundbar this one blows it out of the water. I did have a very minor issue with connectivity on my 85in Samsung not turning on the soundbar overnight once I updated the software on the soundbar itself I longer have any issues and the Bose app is very easy to use and I’m very happy with it.

I don't do reviews too much, I've owned the 300 and the 700 The 300 was the worst 700 was okay, but the Bose ultra blue me away when I connected it to the subwoofer and the back speakers it blew me away I even had to turn it down it got so loud, if you buy this you'll be so surprised of the sound quality, I'm so happy I bought it because everyone told me don't buy it because it's almost identical to the 900, but when connecting this thing it blew me away.

Outstanding sound and clear voice even without the add ons (the bar alone sounds great). The clear voice feature is important to me as so many movies and shows drown everything else out. The tuning app is pretty slick as well Would buy again for sure. I’ve had a few different soundbars over the years. Some solid, some disappointing, and this one is the best I’ve had yet by a comfy margin.
This review is from Bose - Smart Ultra Sounbar with Dolby Atmos, TrueSpace Immersive Audio, and ADAPTiQ Room Calibration - Arctic White

Best Sound Bar on the market. Especially when paired with the 700 subwoofer and surround speakers! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great sounding and looking soundbar. The Dolby Atmos is th reason I upgraded and it sounds great after it's tuned using the Bose headset calibration tool. Little too spendy but it's Bose.

I own a sonos arc with 2 subs and 2 Fives as rears in my main family room. Overall this sound bar and sub does not compete. The voice dialog is a clear winner especially since I have a severe hearing deficit in one ear. I have this bar and sub in my game room where I also movie watch sometimes. I do not have the surrounds because of the terrible reviews on other platforms and the price. Overall it is a solid bar for small/medium rooms but voice dialog is where it shines most. I personally feel it is overpriced but it is awesome to not have to use closed captions when watching my favorite shows or movies.

Excellent Sound and Experience with Voice and music. Perfect item for our living room. There is goos surround music effect.

Great sound and spatial surround sound is phenomenal. Would suggest adding a sub. Added a Bose 500 sub it finished out for the best sound for my setup.

Best Bar out there. The spoken word is what we struggled to hear with our last sound bar. This is great. Make sure you follow all of the instructions during set up, this will make a huge difference in the sound quality.
Bulldawg Posted
Outstanding sound. Truly separates the voices from the background music. Ended up calling Bose to finish set up as latest firmware update was not installed. Bose rep was incredibly helpful and walked me through the rest of the set up!
