    Sound quality never disappoints coming from a Bose speaker. The bass is deep and rich and the voice is enhanced to give clear highs and mids. I really enjoy having this product.

    Amazing sound on many levels all around the room. Even the set-up process was very cool to experience. Lots of settings to play with, but the best I've ever owned.

    I had read reviews about this soundbar and its exceptional AI dialog enhancement and was very hopeful it would allow my husband, who is having an increasingly hard time following dialog in shows and movies because he is losing his hearing, to enjoy our entertainment room again. We are not disappointed. This is an absolute game-changer in our household! Dialog is made crisp and clear, as well as great atmospheric and surround sounds. I would not hesitate to recommend this soundbar to anyone hard of hearing or just wanting to enhance their experience. So thankful that we tried this. You should too!

    The soundbar is awesome, especially when paired with the subwoofer. I bought it as an open box and the salesperson said everything was included. I, foolishly, took his word and when I got home it was missing a remote and headset for balancing the sound to the room. BB customer service was no help what so ever. Enter Bose customer service. I called and got both parts for under $40. BB wanted me to pack the whole thing up and drive 50 miles to return it and then buy it again new to get all the parts. I have never had such poor CS from BB in my life. Most likely gonna rethink buying from them ever again. Sad because a spent a small fortune with them over the years

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Bose does it again. Great Sound Bar. The set up was very easy thru the Phone Apps and adjustments to the soundbar after set up are very simple thru the App as well. I would recommend that soundbar. If there is anything I would suggest is that Best Buy have example set ups of different sound bars that can play the exact same example sounds... i.e. Bose and Sonos. It's hard to compare them in the store because they aren't playing the same example sounds. I went with the Bose because I have other Bose items (headphones and portable speaker).

    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 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 Bose soundbar sounds great and has good depth. I will be adding additional speakers, but for now, we are very pleased. It sounds so much better than the original Samsung soundbar we previously had. We did have to return the first one because of connection issues, but the second bar seems to stay connected

    The Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar delivers an impressive audio experience, blending sleek design with immersive Dolby Atmos and TrueSpace technology for a spacious, cinematic soundstage. Its A.I. Dialogue Mode enhances vocal clarity, making dialogue crisp and clear, while ADAPTiQ room calibration optimizes audio for my basement space. I had issue connecting it to Bluetooth at first and I had to rerun ADAPTiQ few times for all speakers to work. Overall great purchase.

    Sound is good, a great upgrade to my soundtouch 300. However I am returning this due to maybe a glitchy software. Once turned on, it takes about 2 seconds before the sound comes on, especially when videos are changing like from ads to main movie or in youtube. It is very annoying. And my TV turns on after turning everything OFF, I tried all the recommended settings from the manual but nothing work. I wake yo sometimes at night with the TV turned ON. I am keeping my soundtouch 300 for the meantime.
