Excellent soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding sound and clear voice even without the add ons (the bar alone sounds great). The clear voice feature is important to me as so many movies and shows drown everything else out. The tuning app is pretty slick as well Would buy again for sure. I’ve had a few different soundbars over the years. Some solid, some disappointing, and this one is the best I’ve had yet by a comfy margin.

Good but with issue
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a very good sound bar sound amazing I have it paired with the bass module 700, the only issue I have with it is that it looses sound from time to time and it will stop passing audio for like 5-10 minutes and when your are spending over $1400 on a sound bar and bass you would expect it to work.

Really wows on newer games
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound bar is by far the best soundbars that I’ve ever owned! People who say that it’s exactly like the 900 series are simply wrong. It seems to put out a much more clear and refined sound than the 900 and to me. It seems like the only thing that it has in common is that it looks the same! I would buy this over and over again even though the smart sound bar 900 is on sale, it’s well worth the extra expense

DOES NOT COME WITH WALL MOUNT BRACKETS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would have given this one a 4 maybe a 5 because sound is pretty good but I'm docking a star for them not including something as simple as a wall mount brackets. Every other brand I've bought has come with them. Instead bose expects you to spend $40 for two pieces of bent metal. Was very discouraging to get home all excited to mount this and then open the box and see no mounts only to drive back to bestbuy and realize my local bestbuy doesnt carry them. So instead I had to buy some cheap ones off amazon. Wasting a few days before i can even use the soundbar.

glitch software(?)
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

When it works.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When it's actually on it sounds great, problem is I have to unplug it from the TV so many times when I turn on the TV. The TV is a one yr old top of the line Samsung. Not sure if Bose is keeping up with modern circuitry, it connects as you turn on then disconnects.
