    The Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar was easy to set up and sound quality was amazing. I really enjoy the immersive spatial audio and sorround sound experience with crisp vocal clarity.

    Amazing soundbar experience with this Bose Ultra Soundbar. For the size of this device it packs a punch and the sound is crystal clear. Add the bass module for even more effect. Love it!

    Sounds nice when connection works. Constant trouble staying connected to tv. The Alexa works great. But so far Alexa only thing that consistently works. It’s an expensive Alexa speaker. So I think it will be returned. I purchased the surround speakers which were great. Again, the speaker struggles to connect and it’s very frustrating.l love Bose and really wanted this to work.

    The Bose UItra Soundbar has amazing sound and easy set up. Purchased it along with the Bose Base Module 700 and now rockin' home movies and music. Bluetooth built in the soundbar is nice and easy to connect with smartphones and tablets.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Excellent sound with surprising amount of bass from the bar itself. My only minor criticism is there is no number for the volume that is displayed on the TV or on the bar itself.

    Bose soundbar is great product enhancing the sound experience like a theatre, provide you the best quality of sounds from a Movie, Game or other online contents. However sometime this soundbar goes into mute and had to restart the soundbar to get it unmuted.
