I would recommend this to a friendNot worth the price tag
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product has major sync issues when using HDMI arc to connect to TV. It does not turn on automatically. The app is confusing and has too many features that are hard to understand for an ordinary person. There are hardly any useful buttons on the soundbar. No power on indicator on the bar. The volume on TV does not have a number and only plus minus signs show. Will not be buying a Bose product again.

Posted .Hi Harry, sorry to hear of your disappointment with your Smart Ultra Soundbar! If you're having HDMI-CEC issues, e.g. with the soundbar not turning on automatically, go to Settings > Power > HDMI Power and Audio in the Bose app and try the different options there. One of them should resolve the issues you're having. The app is designed to be straightforward and easy to use, however if you're confused by anything, please contact us so we can answer any questions: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Lastly, information about the soundbar's different LED statuses can be found here: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?productId=01t8c00000QEpazAAD&articleId=kA08c000001f8UUCAY&language=en_US. I hope this helps! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support
Had a lot of expectation from Bose
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is not that good as compared to Sonos Arc Ultra and Sennheiser Ambeo Plus. When I first plugged it in I couldn't notice the difference between sound of my TV vs sound from Bose Smart Ultra. May be with a full 5.1 system it may be better, but if you are just looking for a soundbar this may not be the one.

Posted .Hello, I do have some recommendations that can help, if you are not finding the sound quality to not be as expected. Firstly, I highly recommend that you run the AdaptIQ program to ensure that your soundbar is fully calibrated to your room. You can follow the steps for the AdaptIQ process here: https://bose.life/48D4JiE.
Secondly, the soundbar does come with a built-in equalizer that can be accessed via the Bose app. To view more on this, you can check this article out: https://bose.life/4hOKe7r.
Should you need additional support with any features on the headphones, please contact our technical support team who will be happy to assist you. You can find their contact information here: https://bose.life/3rykPZR. Liam - Bose Customer support
Don’t buy, go to Sonos or other bowers and Wilkins

Posted .Hi Mariog, thanks for leaving your review. I'm sorry to hear you experienced difficulties with setup. The Smart Ultra Soundbar uses the Bose app which makes setup a breeze. If you're experiencing issues, this could be related to incorrect settings on your router or your smartphone. Please see this page for recommended router settings as this may help resolve the problem for you. https://bose.life/3GE3pPX.
Should you continue to experience issues with setup, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. https://bose.life/3ET4mCs.

Do Not Buy
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As others have mentioned, this thing will not work as advertised after a few months. Just wont connect via HDMI any more, forcing me to use the optical out audio port. This defeats the purpose of having a “one remote to rule them all” setup. Just buy the Sonos or Samsung sound bars, even Sony. Anything is better than this nightmare of a sound bar. Customer service is a joke and not helpful. Im gonna chuck this into tje trash.

Multiple Missing Cords
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered a BOSE Smart Ultra Soundbar w/ DOLBY Atmos and Voice asst- BLACK I received the product today I took a chance and ordered an "open box" product - I ordered it from the EXCELLENT option with posted listing on BEST Buy website noting "Works and looks like new. Includes all original parts, packaging and accessories (or suitable replacement)." I do not have the following: HDMI eARC cable, Optical cable, Power cord, This is very frustrating - I am exceedingly disappointed with the product I will return the item and never order again This is false advertising Very disappointing
