    Works great. Produces so much bass for its size. I like that it has adjustable levels so you don’t get too boomy of a sound the space. You can customize your sound setting

    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 thing. If you want the best of the best sound, for movies, music, gaming, and tv watching, there is no other soundbar for you! Add the Bose 700 base module and a set of Bose 700 surround speakers and you have the ultimate home theater/ ultimate home stereo for music. I cannot stress enough how amazing this system is. You are put in the middle of whatever is happening on your screen and the sound just envelopes you and comes at you from every direction possible. Bose has changed the way I enjoy home entertainment. This soundbar is the gateway to the best movie and music sound you can experience in your own home..The bass is perfectly powerful…..you will literally be blown away. And I haven’t ( and I’m not gonna) even got started on all the features, like built in Alexa, google chromecast, etc. I haven’t because the most important thing to me about a soundbar, is the sound. I challenge anyone to find a superior system. This thing THUMPS

    upgraded our current soundbar to the Bose Ultra. What a difference! Sound is amazing, clear, crisp. And with the Bose Music app, you can adjust settings. We prefer a heavier bass & found that we didn’t even need the separate bass module. Setup was a breeze too. Ditch whatever soundbar you have & get this one ASAP!

    I tried the Sonos arc ultra and the Bose smart ultra (my living room is small/med) to my surprise I enjoyed the bass and sound profile of the Bose more than the Sonos. The loudness of the Bose boosted the immersion for me.ill be looking the add the bose sub soon.

    I looked at several reviews as well as tested in my Best Buy store. Based on the smaller size and clearer vocals it was just right for my tv. I think there might be better units for movies etc. but since I have some hearing problems this was a winner for me. Because the height is lower than most you hardly notice it at all. Be sure and measure the opening between your stand length and the height available for a bar before starting your search at Best Buy.

    The Bose Smart Ultra Dolby Atmos Soundbar is an impressive piece of audio equipment. Its sleek, minimalist design blends well with any decor, and it feels sturdy and well-made. The sound quality is outstanding. Dolby Atmos creates a truly immersive experience, with clear dialogue and powerful bass. It’s perfect for movies, music, and gaming, making you feel like you’re right in the middle of the action. Setting it up is straightforward, and it integrates smoothly with smart home systems, allowing easy control via voice commands or an app. While it’s on the pricier side, the audio performance and smart features make it a worthwhile investment for any home theater enthusiast.

    I purchased this soundbar to replace my Bose 500 soundbar in order to obtain Dolby Atmos sound. Like other reviewers, I already had wireless Bose rear speakers and the 500 subwoofer. I have been absolutely blown away by the difference in sound quality that this soundbar provides. Not only does the Dolby Atmos really provide a truly immersive experience, but the clarity and "immediacy" of discs recorded with other audio formats such as DTS-HD or DTS-X far surpasses the performance of my old soundbar. Highly recommended.

    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.

    I love this thing! The first caveat is that I have it paired with the Bose 700 subwoofer, which is pretty much a must. If you don't have the subwoofer separate then you're not getting the most out of this. It is well worth the extra cash. It has such a balanced and smooth sound, watching top-tier cinematic movies like Interstellar is a whole new experience. Music also sounds incredible, especially when its lossless through Apple Music. And the sleek glass design is also awesome, looks amazing in our living room. This is the best soundbar/subwoofer system on the market right now, above the Sonos Arc and Sub, as well as the Sony A7000 and SW5. 11/10 would reccomend.

    Great soundbar. The Atmos height has less effect than I hoped but the sound is an amazing upgrade and it works well with my old bose 500 components. Flawless connection and app interface. I am very happy with the purchase.

    So I started looking for a surround sound system just about a year ago. I had ordered 3 different systems over a few months from Amazon. I tried a decent Vizio set up, Samsung, and Nakamichi. Each of them had some hiccup in the sound quality or connectivity between devices so I returned them and then forgot about doing surround sound over the year with travel plans and summer etc. Came into a bonus of cash from work back in November 2023 and decided to try again with the surround sound system. I ordered a Sony surround sound system based off a recommendation from a Best Buy employee, and while it was much better than the 3 others I tried through Amazon, it disconnected audio while watching Disney+ and it made a huge surge in noise one evening without any of us doing anything on the soundbar or apps connected, so I decided to return it. I was scoping out this Bose System package prior to returning the Sony system, and I got a chance to listen to the Bose soundbar at Best Buy in SLC and it sounded amazing, so I decided to pay the higher price tag for it. I got the Bose - Smart Ultra Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and Voice Assistant - Black and Bose - Surround Speakers 700 120-Watt Wireless Satellite Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Black and the Bose - Bass Module 700 Wireless Subwoofer - Black. I'm going to leave this review on all 3 items because they pair so well together. The soundbar is so crisp, the app is amazing for adjustments, and the subwoofer really hits all levels of bass as you go down and packs a punch for how small it is. Fits super nicely between my two couches at home. I read reviews saying to muffle the surround sound speakers so I did that when doing the adaptIQ part of the process and the complaints of the other reviewers saying the two small boxes were too quiet have been proved wrong in my opinion, because baby, these things sound amazing! Best purchase decision of my life, it is audio bliss. I did have to watch a couple of YouTube videos to figure out how to connect the surround sound speakers, but other than than that, this is by far the best I've found in my exploration of surround sound systems! Thanks Bose and Best Buy!
