Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

Phenomenal sound, easy to set up. If you want world class sound, this sound bar is definitely the way to go.

Easy set up. Excellent sound. Great look! Great brand!

Picked up the Bose soundbar and it’s been a game-changer. Movies feel like they’re in a theater now—the dialogue is crisp, the effects hit hard, and the bass adds real depth without drowning anything out. Gaming is just as impressive—directional sounds come through clean so you can actually hear footsteps, explosions, and environmental details in a way that pulls you into the action. Setup was simple, and it blends right in with the living room without being an eyesore. The sleek design matches the performance—minimalist on the outside, powerful on the inside. If you want a single upgrade that makes both movies and gaming come alive, this soundbar is absolutely worth it.

The Bose Soundbar is sleek and has a fantastic sound. I highly recommend this item. It doesn't take up a lot of space.

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 chose this over the Sonos and I can’t imagine better. I like the look quite a bit more and the sound is great. It all hooks up easily through the app.

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 greatly improved the sound from my Sony Bravia TV. Set up was straight forward and pretty easy. The AI Dialogue mode is great, and we have been able to turn off closed captioning on most of our viewing. I was hoping to replace my stereo separates with the Smart Ultra, using my BluRay player for CDs, however passing audio through the TV to the Smart Ultra resulted in thin and unsatisfying audio. I found that using my phone as the audio source via AirPlay to be much better. As I do not have the subwoofer, the Smart Ultra did struggle with some of the music, but overall, I am very happy with the results. Finally, the app is quite limited in what it can do, and the built-in SiriusXM functionality does not seem to have access to the extended digital SiriusXM channels, so I am back to using the SiriusXM app on my phone and AirPlaying to the SmartUltra.

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.

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

Love this soundbar. It’s perfect for my needs. I admit I did add the 500 wireless sub to give the audio in movies a bit more depth but it really wasn’t absolutely necessary. Light years better than my Polk soundbar IMO The remote is bare basics and to fine tune the audio you do need to use the app, which I’m not real fond of. It’s a little too basic for a soundbar that’s got the capabilities of this one.

Have owned my Soundtouch 300 with bass module 500 and satelite 300 speakers for the past 9 years. I was always curious about Sonos and bought whole set. Was not wowed by the sound. In comparison to bose, was VERY tinny and lacked something that just left the sound "empty". Decided to buy the Soundbar Ultra and set up with my previous sub and sats. Sound was full and voices were clear. I also listen to a lot of music on youtube and it sounded so much better on the Bose. End of story, returned the Sonos set. Bose FTW.

We love this. Excellent sound and SO easy to install. 5 stars!

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.

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!

I have had other older Bose surround systems and by far this is the. Best of all I only have the ultrasound bar I will be getting 700 surround and 700 bass module I can't wait to truly unleash all it can do

The sound blows you away! The design is sleek and fits my decor perfectly! The app is slightly difficult to navigate at first and was a struggle to pair, but the performance of the sound bar is top notch!

Exceptional customer service. Impeccable quality, east to set up.

Great sound and range. I use in in my man cave and my friends love it. Also the price was unbelievably inexpensive for the quality it provides.
