The product is amazing. It is very easy to setup and the sound quality is supreme. The adaptive technology is a unique feature that can elevate the overall experience by focusing on your selected spots from where you listen to sound. The bass and treble features gives you a complete theatre like experience experiencing surround sound just with a sound bar. I was earlier going for a complete speaker setup but realized this is the ultimate minimalist product you need for a small home.

Omg this thing is so awesome, put a movie on and sit back. Added the Sub and it’s like being in the theater. If ur on the fence remember Bose is the OG speaker co. This soundbar is all you need. It’s nice looking, just big enough and so clear I can hear all voices. Have the Bose app to dial it in and customer support was a woman w a British accent. Yeah they’re a class act. Pull the trigger and treat yourself on what you deserve. And no this isn’t a paid review.

The Bose soundbar replaced a a bulky receiver and soundbar that had numerous cords and cables.
The Bose soundbar connects with one HDMI cable to the TV. The sound quality is excellent.
Great investment and simple set up.

The Bose Ultra Smart Soundbar has genuinely impressed me. Its audio quality stands out, making it feel like other soundbars are playing catch-up. The sound is so crisp, it's like being enveloped in a cinematic experience right at home. Setting it up with my Alexa echo was a breeze, and the mobile app is a nifty touch for sound direction control. My playlists? They sound like I'm at a live gig. I doubt I'll look at other speaker brands after this. Linking it with Alexa and Amazon music was straightforward, giving me that front-row concert vibe.

Great sound with easy setup. Only glitch is if tv paused more than 20 minutes it will go to sleep and you have to reset tv sound to soundbar. I am using optical connector, maybe not an issue with hdmi, however i have full surround system for movies. The soundbar definitely sounds better with the bose woofer added. Fits nicely under my center channel for regular tv watching

I decided to move from a Bose 5/1 system to a soundbar. The sales people at Best Buy listened to my wishlist and of course, Bose won.
The unit was easy to setup and sounds awesome! I didn't buy the optional subwoofer so I could see how the soundbar sounds by itself. I don't get the gut felt bass sounds like the system I pulled, but i get enough bass the overall sound is good.

Impressive Audio for Desktop Set-up

I bought this speaker to connect to my desktop computer instead of using the TV speakers; which I use the TV as an additional monitor in my set-up; however, when I just want to use my monitors that don't have built-in speakers, I connect to the sound bar via Bluetooth, and I can listen to my music, game, or watch videos. This speaker is made for surround sound for a home theater, so I went all out, but in the end I'm satisfied because I use it across all my devices... from desktop, to TV, my iPads, and my iPhone; the bluetooth connection is quick and easy, and it also comes with a Fiber Optic cord for direct connection as well; if thats what you're looking for. I tested this out with my TV as it has the associated port for this specialty audio cable. Final statement, this speaker is High Quality, so if you're looking to impress, go for it!

This is is an amazing sound bar, the clarity and AI voice feature is actually very impressive. Build quality is excellent I don't think it is an eye sore under any TV setup.
The reason for the 4 star rating is mostly cause the app is a little finicky sometimes. It forgets I'm already connected and makes me pair again and sometimes the connection via HDMI is not as consistent as just using Bluetooth with an Apple Tv paired but otherwise this is an amazing add to my system, need to look into the subwoofer

Good sound. I bought the subwoofer to go with it. It does take up my Arc HDMI port but switches devices seamlessly. The App is also easy to navigate. Down fall is you cannot use the Bose speaker in an Alexa sound group

Is the best selling sound bar that adjust to noise levels like commercials, different programming etc. and also has a dialogue option so you can hear voices even at a whisper. I have tried other sound bars like the elite Sony 700 and Sonos. Not too impressive with the highs. Sonos is good for music and attic speakers and other rooms. Bose now has this option as well. I’ve had many Bose systems over the years,just a single unit stepped Bose stepped up. CON; Bose needs add a HDMI out. I love going to Best Buy because I can hear the different options but truth is you have to get it home and set it up to really know the difference. But with this system with two other products, this is Best Buy. I’ve talked to many people about different sound bars and how the sound goes up and down. You have to adjust it this unit you do not have to adjust your base, mid range, fader and run your adapt, IQ and your set.

First off Bose is just awesome, I love my Bose speaker. I have a Bose 900 Soundbar and now a Bose Ultra Soundbar they are great. The only issue I have is that when I have to go through a lot of hoops to get both soundbars audio to sync when I using one speaker via HDMI and the other via WiFi. Bose is just the best if you are looking for a great soundbar.

I’ve purchased Bose products before and I have never been disappointed with them. My Bose console to a dive and needed something quick and I found the Bose Ultra soundbar. Because, I had the rear speakers and base modules from my other system, now, I have the great sound and need when watching movies. I would recommend this product hands down. Make sure you have the rear wireless speakers and bass module for the full sound effect. Because, I like a full bass sound is why I recommend the rear speakers and bass modules. Otherwise, you not be disappointed.

Not worth the premium you pay for the Bose name. We have had this sound bar almost a year now and everyday there’s something that happens that makes me wish I hadn’t of gone Bose. First off sound quality is absolutely amazing for tv and movie content. Music is another story. We paired ours with a 700 bass module. Great little theater system. But that’s where it ends. Constant glitching, constantly having to unplug and reset to get sound to come out. The wireless subwoofer is hit or miss of it wants to connect. Sometimes we have bass sometime we don’t, for the price paid I expect this setup to be flawless. Better off looking at a Sony or Sonos
