    Great sounding and looking soundbar. The Dolby Atmos is th reason I upgraded and it sounds great after it's tuned using the Bose headset calibration tool. Little too spendy but it's Bose.

    Great sound and spatial surround sound is phenomenal. Would suggest adding a sub. Added a Bose 500 sub it finished out for the best sound for my setup.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!
