Title: Voice Control
Review: I have had the Bose smart sound bar for a day. I like the voice clarity on movies and tv shows. Big issue for myself and wife understand the voices. I just returned the new Samsung Q900D, the latest tech for sound bar sub and rear speakers. My Samsung TV is a series 6 and lacks some of the important technical features to justify the vey high price. Also the remote lacks features and displays unless you have the latest Samsung TV. I am impressed with the AI that drives the voice clarity. So far, good product. I might ad the sub and rear speakers that match new smart bar.

Title: Good for a smaller footprint area requiring a soundbar
Review: I have had nearly every brand of soundbar in this sweet spot price range of $400-$1K. Most of the soundbars I use on a daily basis are larger by a good 12 inches than this. The Sonos Arc and the JBL Bar 9.1 are heavier, larger and have additional features for example removable surround speakers on the JBL. I also have the Sonos Beam, and this Bose I would consider a direct competitor to that more compact version of the Sonos architecture.Setup on this Bose was a breeze other than the typical ARC recognition issues I always have on my newer Hisense 7U tv. After a few reboots of each it worked just fine. Sound is good, especially speaking, which seems to be a real focus of this product. Makes sense, if you aren't making a full-size soundbar which would have a lot of drivers pushing 360 imaging, instead as here to focus on the most common use of a compact unit which would be watching tv.The app is easy to install, just scan qr code, register and it found my soundbar immediately - unlike my experience with Sonos. Don't get me started with Sonos either not finding products or requiring reconnections. So far the Bose is just always paired on startup with no issues. Music sounds "good". Not great, not fair, but good. I believe if you are not pairing this with a subwoofer you will likely want to set the app equalizer to the full +10 on the bass, which depending on the music is either sufficient or still a little shy. I have a Sonos subwoofer but not sure I will be able to cross-connect; based on forums I doubt it.All in all, as stated before - this is a very clear competitor for the Beam and performs very similarly. The Atmos works well extending the height, especially if you tweak it to +4 or so on the app. Listening is comfortable and nothing stands out as being problematic especially after pushing up the bass. I like the visual display on the front and nice to have the front and top functionality to separate the stereo image and height portion of the sound.For the price, this is a good solid buy. I would recommend it for a bedroom tv or compact environment like and apartment.

Title: Big Sound, Small Package: A Review of the Bose Smart Soundbar
Review: I recently snagged the Bose Smart Soundbar and let me tell you, it's a little powerhouse! Here's my breakdown of the pros and cons:Small But Mighty Sound:Don't let the size fool you. This soundbar packs a serious punch! I was particularly impressed with the sound immersion while watching a football game – it really brought the action to life.Easy Connection (with a Caveat):The inclusion of an HDMI cable was a nice touch, making setup a breeze. However, considering the price point, it would have been even better if it came with speaker mounts as well. Luckily, I had extras from other electronics purchases, but that might not be the case for everyone.Slight Sticky Situation:On the plus side, the rubber feet on the bottom seem to help keep it in place – a small detail, but one I appreciate, especially since some soundbars I've owned haven't even included that!Overall:Despite the lack of speaker mounts at this price point, the Bose Smart Soundbar is a great option for those looking for a compact soundbar with impressive sound quality. The easy setup with the included HDMI cable is a plus, and the rubber feet add a touch of stability.Here's who I would recommend this for:People who are looking for a small and powerful soundbar with immersive sound.Those who prioritize easy setup with an included HDMI cable.Anyone who appreciates the added security of rubber feet (especially if you've had a slippery soundbar experience in the past).Here's who I would not recommend this for:People who are on a tight budget and can't afford to purchase separate speaker mounts (but at this price point I'd imagine you can, so it might just be an overall high expense as there are cheaper options out there).Those who need a soundbar that comes with a full mounting kit. (And that's the reason I'm deducting a star. While the soundbar offers impressive sound quality and convenience, the lack of included speaker mounts at the price point is a minor deduction. The rubber feet and included HDMI cable are definite pluses, but the missing speaker mounts could be a potential inconvenience for some users.)

Review: My husband and I had long been considering adding a soundbar to our home setup, and this one had all the features we were looking for. While we didn't have any prior experience with soundbars, we've owned enough Bose products to feel confident in our choice and it more than lived up to expectations.♦ DesignRight out of the box, the premium build quality of this soundbar was evident. It has a distinctly minimalist design, tastefully incorporating functional elements such as its wraparound metal grille. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was more compact than expected, measuring 27.4 inches in length, 4.1 inches in depth, and 2.2 inches in height. With its low profile, it fits perfectly beneath our 50-inch TV, without cluttering the TV stand or obstructing the screen. It's also possible to mount it on the wall, though the required hardware is sold separately.♦ Setup ProcessSetting up the soundbar is relatively straightforward, though some users may find the absence of external button controls and a printed manual confusing. The Bose app is required for the initial setup and to fully access the features, but once configured, its settings can be intuitively controlled with the remote or through voice automation.♦ Sound & Performance  The sound quality is unsurprisingly outstanding, enhanced by customizable settings that allow you to tailor the audio profile to suit your preferences. It delivers a richly balanced midrange, smooth, resonant bass, and crisp treble, which elevate vocal clarity and give it a strikingly dynamic soundscape. I was amazed by how effectively Bose's Truespace technology circulated sound without relying on additional speakers. Yet the soundbar truly shines when playing Dolby Atmos-supported movies and shows. Combined, they produce a vivid multi-dimensional sound with a notable division between effects, music, and voices, giving you a feeling of immersion you wouldn't normally associate with a soundbar alone.Additionally, the soundbar offers exceptional flexibility, supporting several streaming options, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Chromecast, AirPlay 2, and even Spotify, which I wasted no time setting up. Its Alexa integration is notably impressive, enabling voice automation and allowing it to function as a hub and control connected devices.☑ Positives ＋ Sleek modern appearance＋ Compact, low-profile design＋ Customizable sound adjustments within the app＋ Alexa and Google Assistant voice control integration＋ Versatile connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Spotify, and Chromecast＋ Dolby Atmos & Bose TrueSpace create a dynamic, three-dimensional soundstage☒ Negatives － The Bose app is required to use the soundbar－ It doesn't have traditional button controls on the soundbar itself－ The manual is digital, so the setup might be confusing for less tech-minded individuals－ It doesn't come with hanging hardware and requires brand-specific ones to hang it

Review: This sound bar is worth more than my TV and the build quality shows it. It's very well made compared to very cheap speakers. That said, it's also super pricey. It comes with all the cables you need to connect directly to your TV.It comes with a remote but you can also control it via your phone app. You need the phone app to set up as well.This is my first wireless bluetooth speaker so I thought I'd try to connect it wirelessly to my roku TV but despite multiple attempts at trying, it would not detect the speaker when I tried to connect wirelessly. The instructions has no section to connect wirelessly to your TV, only says to use the cables. From what I read from the instructions, the "wireless" part for this speaker refers to allowing you to connect subwoofers wirelessly to it or connect to it directly with your phone and use it as a bluetooth speaker. It's not referring to itself as a wireless TV sound bar.That said the sound quality is pretty good. It's very clear. I hate watching movies and tvs where the dialogue is very hard to hear (mumble or bad sound mixing) and the AI dialogue does make a difference. It's a bit weird at first because the speaking is clearly amplified and clear but you get used to it quickly.The sound settings you can control are center and height channel, bass, and treble. You can also add an audio delay if needed. This particular speaker does not have room tuning feature which at this price point, I feel like it should.In terms of sound quality, it's good but I don't notice a significant improvement over my $100 sound bar. The only time I can tell a difference is the cinematic "brrrrr" base noises that are very rare and only at the intro credits or when opening some apps. Otherwise it's hard for my to notice the sound quality most of the time unless I really listen for it.The only bugs/tech issues I found were:1. HDMI power/audio sync did not work with auto-wake/sleep. Basically by default it goes to sleep in 15-20 minutes. However, when you use your TV again, it would not self-wake. Your TV will detect the speakers and use them for sound but there will be no output unless you manually shutdown and power up the speakers. I tried all the HDMI power options and none of them fixed this. Only way I could fix is to turn off the auto-sleep so that it just doesn't goto sleep at all. It does still turn off when you turn the tv off though so that's a good solution for me.2. The volume control has a very noticeable delay. Maybe 1 second or so.3. The owners guide/instructions link on the APP leads to a dead link, still hasn't been fixed since I started testing the speakersAll in all, it's a very well made speaker. For me though I don't see it as worth the price over <$200 speakers. If you can use all the features such as connecting your own subwoofers, AI voice control, spotify/air play, have bose earbuds that can sync with it then it might be worth it to you. If you don't need all those features or aren't able to use them, then I think a simple speaker will be good for most people...unless you are an audiophile with good ears that can notice the sound difference.

Review: I am sorry, but some of the other reviews on this soundbar are brutal. 1 star because it won't sync with outdated tech? Not at all a fair review of the product.My Samsung TV is about 5 years old. I also have a Samsung HW-Q60R soundbar (Harman/Kardon), with surround speakers and sub. The day I received the Bose soundbar my TV stopped loading the Siriusxm app after an update, so I was using my phone to connect with bluetooth to the Bose. I downloaded the app and connected to the soundbar and I was playing music in minutes. Super simple and I have still not needed to seek out a manual for any connections or functions.I kept trying to match the volume and I was switching between the source from the Bose to the Samsung and i was floored that the Bose has better sound and room immersive sound than my Samsung with rear speakers and a sub. The bass of the Bose is deeper and more present than the Samsung woofer.I kept flicking back and forth and thinking I have to get the sub and surround for this, this is amazing for just the soundbar. The rear speakers are 15 feet back from the Samsung soundbar, and the Bose is richer and filling the room as completely as the Samsung, but the bass is deeper and more present with a fuller sound all around. The Bose is 27 inches compared to the 43" of my Samsung. So much more sound and 16 inches smaller.The Samsung is far from a bottom level soundbar. It is not 'new' tech, but it had great ratings. The whole system barely stands up to the stand alone Bose soundbar. A soundbar isn't expected to be amazing without a sub. The Samsung is nothing without the sub. I wouldn't even call it worth listening to, certainly not for movies. Maybe Gramma level background music. The Bose holds its own to the whole system. I couldn't wait to see how full the system with a sub and rear speakers would sound.I was 100% sold on spending $1700 for the upgrade, but I decided to play the same game with movie sound. I have the Samsung connected with an optical cable, so I hooked up the Bose to the HDMI (ARC) port on the TV. To my surprise I now have both systems going. My system just got a serious upgrade in sound quality that I was not expecting. The Samsung surround is decent, but the bass is lacking so I am going to get the Bose sub and run the 2 soundbars in conjunction for a fully immersive sound experience.I am seriously impressed with the sound from this soundbar. Don't expect it to blow your doors off without a sub, but it does have crazy impressive sound for a soundbar alone. I did nothing but download the app to access sound controls, use bluetooth as I would with anything else to play music, and plug a single cable in for TV sound. It is very easy to adjust bass and other levels in the app to blend between the 2 soundbars to get a fully blended sound. I found it super simple and intuitive to set up. The app and integration are easy if you have a basic understanding of the features of moderately modern TV's and soundbars.The only thing I don't like is that there is no display on the soundbar other than lights to show it's status. No volume level or visual adjustment of bass or other levels. Not worth dinging it a star because it was never intended to be a function, but more control without the app always simplifies things and likely leaves less to go wrong. It would be a nice feature to have a visual display and more controls with the remote, but obviously I am getting by. I would spend a little more if it another model had those features, but these are designed to make sound over everything else, and the sound quality is impressive.I am a convert. I was not a Bose fan. A friend had one a decade ago and I was not impressed. It got loud, but wasn't full. They have certainly figured out how to fill a room with balanced and full sound.I will likely leave my next review under the sub listing, but I will have an update somewhere as I expect that to really blow me away once I have it added to the system.

Review: This is a fantastic soundbar and if you have a Smart TV that has HDMI ARC/ eARC as one of your connections, the setup is pretty well instant once the Smart TV recognizes the BOSE Speaker connection. With HDMI ARC/ eARC, your regular Smart TV remote now controls the volume of the BOSE Smart Soundbar.If you have a cable box like a TIVO from Eastlink or Bell and you may have your Universal remote paired with your existing soundbar, you need to go back into your setting in the cable box menu and set it back to TV remote volume control. ARC stands for "Audio Return Channel," and a new version, HDMI 2.1 is an Enhanced Audio Return Channel, or eARC. This version gives you support for full-resolution audio signal that supports Dolby Atmos and other uncompressed sound formats. Using HDMI eARC also gives you BOSE new Voice A.I Dialogue Mode which balance voices and surround sound for ultra-crisp vocal clarity and not drowned out by movies, TV Shows or gaming background volume sounds making it hard to hear voice dialogue.If you only have Digital Optical out from you TV, you still get fantastic quality sound, just not the benefits of the Dolby Atmos or the A.I Dialogue mode. In your TV, go into your menu and go to the sound setup and choose "Optical Out" which turns off the cable box remote from controlling the volume from your TV. Once that's done, you now try to pair the cable box remote to the new BOSE Smart Soundbar.The Bose Dolby Atmos Soundbar comes with Alexa built-in and works with Google Assistant capabilities, plus Bose Voice 4 Video technology lets you control the soundbar, your TV, and cable/satellite box with your voice if you choose to. You can also Stream content by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple Air Play 2, Spotify Connect, and Chromecast. These options I didn't bother with but it's there for you.This beautiful sounding Soundbar can be controlled by the supplied remote or you can download the BOSE App from the Google Play or Apple Market which is recommended for more custom setting to the Smart Soundbar and that's where you can add additional optional speakers, sub and BOSE new Air Buds.I found using the A.I Dialogue mode does make the voice stand out but you sacrifice the low end bass, and not paired to the optional BOSE Bass Module 500 or 700, there won't be any ground breaking rumble like traditional soundbar with sub.The quality of the BOSE Smart Soundbar is fantastic and the sound and voice quality is outstanding. It's nice and low profile and it doesn't sit higher than my 60" Samsung Smart TV like my old Vizio system I had for over 8 years. I had a nice full size stereo, surround speakers and big powered sub but now living in an apartment building, I need to be more mindful with the neighbors around me and this new Bose Smart Soundbar fits perfectly for my need.
