Excellent sound with the 700 series bass module.
Voices are not overrun by background sounds.

Best of the best of the best. It’s like you’re there, same room or at a football game. I’ve had Bose most of my adult life, speakers, acoustic wave stereo (from the 80’s) and still works well almost 40 years later. It isn’t fully set up, bass, treble, etc., and the calibration set up is very impressive. When watching a movie and the actors are walking left to right, you can actually hear it through all the speakers from l to r. It’s simply an amazing soundbar and well worth every penny, you’ll be glad you’ve purchased it.

Great sound bar. Crisp and clear sound. Way better sound than the Sony sound bar it replaced.

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.

Gotta give it a crappy score because the connectivity is awful. Sometimes it will connect with the remote. Sometimes it requires a complete power cycle (I bought a remote-controlled power outlet to make that easier). But it almost NEVER just powers up connected via HDMI. Optical was worse. For this kind of money, and with the Bose name ... shame on Bose! The sound is wonderful. The surround is wonderful (as long as you also buy the rear speakers), and it can be tailored just the way I want it. I like it for sports, above all. The app is good. It's a great product, the best sound bar/rear speaker system I've ever had ,,, once it gets connected. It just shouldn't be this hard. Or this random. No product should be this random, let alone a high end product. I tried all the connectivity options in the app - none of them made it better.

Brand response from Bose Support
Posted .
Hi there - I'm happy to hear you like the sound of the Smart Ultra Soundbar per se, as well as the performance of the Bose app. If you're experiencing connectivity issues via both HDMI and optical, then the different HDMI-CEC options in the app might not be the fix. It could be that there's an issue with the TV, or with the cables between the TV and soundbar. If power-cycling the TV and soundbar for at least 5 minutes doesn't help, I would recommend contacting our support team, who can take a closer look here: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Excellent sound quality and enough for most home set ups if you pair it with the sub.

Insane soundbar, sounds great. You need the bass module to go with it. Little tip; put blankets or towels over the speakers or accessory items when you run AdaptIQ, extra bass/treble. You're welcome

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.

Should have cam with wall mounts. Sound is superb, plenty loud in a 14x18 room. Used my own powered sub and plugged into the back with a stereo 3.5mm jack. Customer service with bose is the worst, the app is below average.

Excellent sound with surprising amount of bass from the bar itself. My only minor criticism is there is no number for the volume that is displayed on the TV or on the bar itself.

The Bose UItra Soundbar has amazing sound and easy set up. Purchased it along with the Bose Base Module 700 and now rockin' home movies and music. Bluetooth built in the soundbar is nice and easy to connect with smartphones and tablets.

Bought this to replace older Bose Soundbar. Significant improvement in sound quality, clearer and sharper. Added subwoofer and wireless rear speakers for more enhanced experience. Very pleased with the performance. Easy to install using the Bose App.
