Bose smart ultra soundbar
I have had this for approx 2 weeks and still experimenting with it however it has great audio level responses by itself. The bass is impressive as a stand alone device. In arctic white, it blends into my decor seamlessly. I will get the surround speakers and bass module later to complete the outstanding set to replace my old Bose Acoustimass setup.

Awesome sound quality
I bought Arc Ultra Soundbar and I would say the sound quality is awesome; however from my perspective, a woofer is needed if you really want cinematic sound quality.

Good not great!
I bought the sound bar about a month ago and while it's good, I'm not sure it's great yet. A couple of reasons I I don't think it's great are: the surround sound is inconsistent and at times doesn't even seem to be working and since the unit does not come with a sub-woofer (and even though I have one, it's not compatible with Boise products) there are times when the sou...

Amazing Sound Quality
The smart Ultra soundbar is awesome. Not even had it for a week and love it already. The tv channel are so clear and the AI sound control for speech and music combined is superb. We used to have a Bose Solo which was brilliant, but this is another level. Films and music sound incredible especially as we’ve paired it with a bass unit plus a pair of surround sound speaker...

Mr.
I bought ultra sound bar and felt th sound quality was not what I expected because my initial take was it would be very good but I was kind of bit disappointed actually with surround music which was very low.The voices were clear that was an added advantage.

Wow - what sound!
After conducting a number of reviews and searches, speaking with family and friends, I purchased the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar together with the Bose 700 Base Sub-woofer. The sound experience is amazing, so easy to set up and use. High Recommended.

The best!
I always wanted a Bose soundbar but didn't feel I could afford the luxury. I was wrong. The sound produced is better than the credit I ever gave it. It is worth every penny I spent. When it went on sale Bose found my price point evidently, because I bought the whole package. Now my room is filled with sound beyond my expectations. This is not my first soundbar but it is...

Great Soundbar
I have been a fan of Bose for many years, going all the way back to my Acoustimass 10 system! (Which I still have.) Unfortunately I strayed for a while with another manufacturer, but now I am back to the Bose fold again. Let me first say that I bought the Ultra Soundbar, the Bass Module 700 and the Bose Surround Speakers. All the products came in packaging that I could ...

Great Sound And Easy Set Up
Been looking for a while to replace my SoundTouch 300. Was looking at the Ultra but price was a factor. Then the Black Friday deal kicked in and I got it for a great price.
Easy to set up and connect. Great sound so far, with a definite difference in the AI vocal function. Looking forward to blasting some proper soundtracks through it.
