    This soundbar blew me away. I owned the Bose 900 Soundbar for about a month and saw they released these. I managed to price match during the sale using my subwoofer and used the extra I got back to upgrade the soundbar to the Smart Ultra for literally nothing. The Adaptiq technology is actually insane how much it changes the audio. I cant express this enough, USE IT. I was a little skeptical about the AI Dialogue but after sitting here and listening for about an hour, constantly turning it off and on. It has made such a difference in clarity that it just doesn't sound right without it on. Im absolutely blown away. The sound feels like it’s coming out of a bigger soundbar but it plows through everything I throw at it with power and straight clarity. The 900 definitely had a lil struggle with the lows unless you turned up the treble a bit which helped offset it a bit but with this AI Dialogue mode, I didn't have to adjust the treble at all. I also have the Bass Module 700 Subwoofer which literally just makes it 10x better. You gotta pair it to understand.

    This Bose soundbar couldn't have been easier to set up and the sound is great. I have it set up on my Logitech universal remote and everything works seamlessly with one remote. The sound is awesome! Haven't used it yet with Alexa but so far, I am very happy with this purchase!

    Love this product! Only issue I’ve experienced so far is it occasionally disconnects for no apparent reason, and then getting it to reconnect can be difficult sometimes, but the sound quality is incredible and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it!

    This sound bar is worth the extra cost. The set up was easy and the sound quality is far superior to other sound bars I have tried. In addition, it was offered in white and has a thin profile that sits somewhat concealed on a fireplace mantel, under the TV.

    Funny when watching reviews comparing soundbars etc. but when you adjust using an RTA with a pink noise 20-20khz sweep this sound bar plus 700 bass module sounds amazing, slightly different from Sonos however I believe with adaptiq it sets an 80hz crossover which is slightly better than the sonos arc crossover that a trained ear can notice. I am very satisfied with my purchase, haven’t set the surrounds which i’m sure would make it even better.

    This Bose soundbar sounds amazing when paired with the 700 bass module! Had some difficulties with the Bose app not connecting with my netgear wifi, but after two days of hair pulling troubleshooting I decided to switch out my netgear wifi router with the Eero wifi router and everything connected flawlessly! Now the Bose app works as intended! I’m able to adjust the equalizer and bring the sound to another level!

    Best of the best of the best. It’s like you’re there, same room or at a football game. I’ve had Bose most of my adult life, speakers, acoustic wave stereo (from the 80’s) and still works well almost 40 years later. It isn’t fully set up, bass, treble, etc., and the calibration set up is very impressive. When watching a movie and the actors are walking left to right, you can actually hear it through all the speakers from l to r. It’s simply an amazing soundbar and well worth every penny, you’ll be glad you’ve purchased it.

    I have purchased Sonos Arc 5.0.2 when it was on sale during Christmas. With my setup, I was not able to connect the Sound bar through HDMI and there was no Optical out for Sonos. That's when I have returned it and bought Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar. Thus far, the Dolby Atmos and other digital sounds are very nice.The setup is a breeze. Movies / music sound lot smoother with nice Bass.

    Insane soundbar, sounds great. You need the bass module to go with it. Little tip; put blankets or towels over the speakers or accessory items when you run AdaptIQ, extra bass/treble. You're welcome
