Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my third Bose Soundbar. I have the Sound touch 300 and the Bose 700. I recently purchased a new TV and I thought I'd be able to get by using the TV's built-in speakers. Sadly, (yeah right) that wasn't the case. Since my new TV is Dolby Atmos capable and the 300/700 were not, I ended up purchasing the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar. Hookup was simple; one HDMI cable and a power cord. Alexa works great with one complaint. Alexa's volume doesn't mirror other sound levels from the soundbar like TV and music volumes. I stream a lot of music through the soundbar usually at a low to moderate level, however, if I ask Alexa a question the response is considerably louder than the volume level before the question. This can be startling at times. It comes with a remote, nothing as elaborate as the one that came with the 300/700. Actually, I very seldom have a need to use the remote. It is very small, and I can easily see it getting lost. The Bose App is ok, it gets the job done. The sound is great you will not be disappointed,

Exceptional customer service. Impeccable quality, east to set up.

Works great. Produces so much bass for its size. I like that it has adjustable levels so you don’t get too boomy of a sound the space. You can customize your sound setting

Great sound and relatively easy setup. Had a bit of an issue when setting up the WiFi as it would frequently disconnect. Apparently it has something to do with certain routers. Overall pretty great

Love this thing. If you want the best of the best sound, for movies, music, gaming, and tv watching, there is no other soundbar for you! Add the Bose 700 base module and a set of Bose 700 surround speakers and you have the ultimate home theater/ ultimate home stereo for music. I cannot stress enough how amazing this system is. You are put in the middle of whatever is happening on your screen and the sound just envelopes you and comes at you from every direction possible. Bose has changed the way I enjoy home entertainment. This soundbar is the gateway to the best movie and music sound you can experience in your own home..The bass is perfectly powerful…..you will literally be blown away. And I haven’t ( and I’m not gonna) even got started on all the features, like built in Alexa, google chromecast, etc. I haven’t because the most important thing to me about a soundbar, is the sound. I challenge anyone to find a superior system. This thing THUMPS

upgraded our current soundbar to the Bose Ultra. What a difference! Sound is amazing, clear, crisp. And with the Bose Music app, you can adjust settings. We prefer a heavier bass & found that we didn’t even need the separate bass module. Setup was a breeze too. Ditch whatever soundbar you have & get this one ASAP!

I tried the Sonos arc ultra and the Bose smart ultra (my living room is small/med) to my surprise I enjoyed the bass and sound profile of the Bose more than the Sonos. The loudness of the Bose boosted the immersion for me.ill be looking the add the bose sub soon.

I looked at several reviews as well as tested in my Best Buy store. Based on the smaller size and clearer vocals it was just right for my tv. I think there might be better units for movies etc. but since I have some hearing problems this was a winner for me. Because the height is lower than most you hardly notice it at all. Be sure and measure the opening between your stand length and the height available for a bar before starting your search at Best Buy.

The sound blows you away! The design is sleek and fits my decor perfectly! The app is slightly difficult to navigate at first and was a struggle to pair, but the performance of the sound bar is top notch!

The Bose Smart Ultra Dolby Atmos Soundbar is an impressive piece of audio equipment. Its sleek, minimalist design blends well with any decor, and it feels sturdy and well-made. The sound quality is outstanding. Dolby Atmos creates a truly immersive experience, with clear dialogue and powerful bass. It’s perfect for movies, music, and gaming, making you feel like you’re right in the middle of the action. Setting it up is straightforward, and it integrates smoothly with smart home systems, allowing easy control via voice commands or an app. While it’s on the pricier side, the audio performance and smart features make it a worthwhile investment for any home theater enthusiast.

Great soundbar. I use this one with my TV in my master bedroom. Perfect fit for the room size. Great sound and tone quality.

I purchased this soundbar to replace my Bose 500 soundbar in order to obtain Dolby Atmos sound. Like other reviewers, I already had wireless Bose rear speakers and the 500 subwoofer. I have been absolutely blown away by the difference in sound quality that this soundbar provides. Not only does the Dolby Atmos really provide a truly immersive experience, but the clarity and "immediacy" of discs recorded with other audio formats such as DTS-HD or DTS-X far surpasses the performance of my old soundbar. Highly recommended.

Not really crazy about the product. The sound is great, but too many wires.

Highly recommend . Sounds amazing . Only thing i have trouble with is connecting it on the bose app.

The Bose Smart Ultra greatly improved the sound from my Sony Bravia TV. Set up was straight forward and pretty easy. The AI Dialogue mode is great, and we have been able to turn off closed captioning on most of our viewing. I was hoping to replace my stereo separates with the Smart Ultra, using my BluRay player for CDs, however passing audio through the TV to the Smart Ultra resulted in thin and unsatisfying audio. I found that using my phone as the audio source via AirPlay to be much better. As I do not have the subwoofer, the Smart Ultra did struggle with some of the music, but overall, I am very happy with the results. Finally, the app is quite limited in what it can do, and the built-in SiriusXM functionality does not seem to have access to the extended digital SiriusXM channels, so I am back to using the SiriusXM app on my phone and AirPlaying to the SmartUltra.

I would have given tis 3 stars if it weren't for the ability to manage the sound for each speaker type. The sound is flat and close-in. Open up the sound using the app and you can really get some super sound. I do find the system sounds significantly better at higher volume. I paired this with the model 500 subwoofer. All in all, it's a really nice system.

Replaced my older Bose sound bar with the Ultra Smart. Richer sounds. Great base. Only regret that my cable provider has limited Atmos features.

Excellent sound and very easy to setup. In particular with the bass makes the movie experience much better.

I love this thing! The first caveat is that I have it paired with the Bose 700 subwoofer, which is pretty much a must. If you don't have the subwoofer separate then you're not getting the most out of this. It is well worth the extra cash. It has such a balanced and smooth sound, watching top-tier cinematic movies like Interstellar is a whole new experience. Music also sounds incredible, especially when its lossless through Apple Music. And the sleek glass design is also awesome, looks amazing in our living room. This is the best soundbar/subwoofer system on the market right now, above the Sonos Arc and Sub, as well as the Sony A7000 and SW5. 11/10 would reccomend.

Great soundbar. The Atmos height has less effect than I hoped but the sound is an amazing upgrade and it works well with my old bose 500 components. Flawless connection and app interface. I am very happy with the purchase.
