I have never been let down by a Bose product. It's good to no that still hasn't changed. Bose isn't big on the gimmicky stuff, but if you want inconspicuous speakers that make huge, clean sound: Look no further. The minute you take the sound bar out of the box, you can feel the solid quality of the build. Plug it in, and pair it up with the 700 Bass Module - you are quickly reminded it was the right choice.

After just a bit of technical assistance from Bose the new Smart Ultra Soundbar really gives a surround sound experience when coupled with the Bass Module 700 and rear surround speakers. It fits perfectly between the legs of my 65-inch Television with 1/8th inch to spare on each side. Excellent customer support at the Princess Anne, Virginia Beach store.

Extreemly easy install. Sound with sub is absoutly amazing. Got it on sale and was well worth the price. Bose does bot dissapoint with this soundbar. Aoutomaticy turns on when TV produces sound through the fiber cable.

Outstanding soundbar. I have it hooked up to a TCL 98 inch. Seamless connection when using the arc net HDMI port. Every now again you need to update the bar. No biggie though.
You never get any missed dialogue either, it recognizes when voices are being used and tunes perfectly.
I also had the entire system, TV and all installed my geek squad and they did a fantastic job hiding all cables etc.
Make sure you get the subwoofer.

Sounds good but constantly disconnects from my LG C3 tv and I’m doing everything right I’ve read Reddit posts and other reviews saying they have the same issue not worth $900 to be dealing with such a ridiculous problem sound quality is great that’s all I can really say I’ve you own an lg tv don’t buy this soundbar
I'm glad you like the sound quality of your Smart Ultra Soundbar! Disconnections from your TV should not occur, and are not necessarily a sign that the soundbar is defective. Please make sure both your TV and your soundbar are running the latest firmware. If they are, there are one or two resets we can also try. Please contact our support team for further assistance with these: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

So much clarity! This sound bar blew my expectations out of the water. I have a 500sqft living room and it fills it up with sound. I also have one in my man cave.

This is a huge improvement over the lackluster tv speakers. I switched from a full definitve audio setup, and this sound bar does a decent job trying to keep up with floor standing speakers.. I'd recommend this for a soundbar if your looking

Bose is NOT Apple. Bose products are NOT simple and intuitive. I make this comparison because Bose is attempting to pretend that their products ARE simple. For instance, there are only two buttons on the Smart Ultra Soundbar, which are pretty much useless. Instead, you are supposed to use an obnoxious little app that has zillions of 'advanced' features hidden away.
Out of the box, as soon as I had everything hooked up, the first problem I discovered was a communication problem between my cable box and the Soundbar. All of the audio was out of sync, looked like I was watching old kung fu movie where the actors lips never matched the dialogue!
Eventually I fixed that (mostly) by applying a sync delay that i found hidden in the app.
But the NUMBER ONE most obnoxious problem is that the HDMI eARC almost never works without 10 to 15 minutes of screwing around. To get around that, I generally leave the tv set to use its own speakers. But anytime I want to watch a movie with good sound, I have to jump through major hoops to get the Bose to do what I paid for it to do!!!
Super frustrating! Unfortunately I kept hoping I'd find a way to straighten things out so I am well beyond the return policy now.
Currently, the Bose Smart Ultra has a 4.6 rating. This is EXTREMELY fishy to me.
I've been a long time fan, but Bose systems are no longer worth the premium. Do yourself a favor and find another system!
Hey Mike, If you are struggling to get audio from the soundbar via HDMI, I'd recommend adjusting some of the HDMI CEC settings, these can be accessed via the soundbar settings within Bose Music app, I'd recommend options 2 and 4 for audio related issues.

The Bose speaker is absolutely wonderful it’s sounds as if a helicopter is flying straight the window behind your couch in the living room. Only on half volume it shakes the house and we love it. Perfect example of an at home cinema.
