Not Great!
I've owned for about a year. Sound is pretty good. I bought the 700 Bass speaker and surround speakers. I have lots of trouble getting it to turn on with the TV (using ARC) HDMI. I really wish I had returned it. Very aggravating.

All round excellence
I bought the Smart Ultra Soundbar and Bass Module 700 to replace an ageing CineMate system. With the passage of time, I was ready for the new system to offer more and sound better, but the reality exceeded my expectation. It looks great and sounds fantastic. I'm old enough to remember what a faff it was to configure new audio technology, but the set up of the Smart Ul...

Bose hits another one out of the park
I purchased the Ultra Soundbar in January 2026.....it was the latest in a very long list of Bose products I have purchased over the years. The quality of construction and the ease of installation was so easy with the Bose App on my Android phone. The ATMOS sound is a step up from the already great Dolby sound. I am still learning how to set up a proper ATMOS environment...

Good sound system that can be improved
I purchased this soundbar as a part of a sound system. The soundbar is great but needs the help of the Bass module to get the low end sounds. The surround speakers are OK but not great - if the surround speakers were better my rating would be a 5.

Expensive but worth it
I have resisted buying a sound bar for years. I almost bought the Bose speaker or Samsung sound bars. When I watched the Smart Ultra online, and heard the difference, I decided to buy it with their 30 day guarantee. I installed it in my small office and it's perhaps overkill, but is fantastic. We hear sound we have never heard before. We hear hoofs or drums bea...

Perfect sound bar!!
This is perfect for my new home. Vaulted ceilings give this sound bar, and accompanied other speakers and bass module, the chance to really shine.
I have had this before. This is a replacement unit because the movers stole my other soundbar. TIP: DO NOT pack it in the same box it came in.

Not easy, Bose is trying too much teck
I have had to spend way too much time to get it kinda working. My son and daughter-in-law spent too much time [hours] trying to get it to work. First Bose product that I have purchased that is not easy to use. I have purchased in the past, 4 other Bose products and they are great, wonderful.

Bose Ultra Soundbar
I considered buying the ULTRA soundbar after having the Bose SoundTouch 300 for years.Upgraded using the Bose upgrade to the ULTRA. This is the best decision I made. Sound is awe-inspiring and taken my living room soundspace to new heights. Easy to connect up and I even coughed up for Bose Surround speakers 300 -which have enhanced my listenig experience - whether music...
