Fantastic sound especially for speech.
Love the new Bose Smart Soundbar, the sound is mush better than from the tv especially when there's a lot of speaking parts, it's crystal clear.

Buyer Beware Great Item, Awful reliability.
Product is amazing sound quality wise.
It however does not work. When it works it's fantastic, but at this point I have sent it back three separate times for repair and none of the fixes has stuck for more than a couple of days. (The support line has actually been super helpful, no notes on them.)

Bose Smart Sound Bar Is Great!
I purchased the Bose Smart Sound Bar last month to replace a 10-year old Bose Sound Bar. I thought the old one was very good, until this purchase. Technology has sure come a long way. I'm very pleased with this purchase (amazing sound and voice conversations are much more clear). I will buy Bose products again.

Needs more power compared to other products
This product is great clarity and hyper sounds but lacks the power of other sound systems on the market. Bose need to upgrade the sound bar to have a more competitive place in the marketplace saying that I still love my Bose.

Good sound but some connectivity issues.
Already had a Bose TV Soundbar so decided to get another and landed on the Smart Soundbar. It took a bit of time to set up and the App you need to use it is OK but I have seen better. The ALEXA feature is a nice touch but is only for asking questions, you can't treat the Soundbar as an additional Echo Dot to stream music that you have sent to other Echo Dot devices, s...

Sound quality
The sound quality is outstanding and gives a real feeling of vibrancy to both the TV shows or music you are listening too.

Great soundar due to AI dialogue mode
This soundbar uses AI to make speech louder at times when background noise or music threatens to overwhelm the words you are hearing. My hearing is deteriorating and this solved the problem. A word of warning though. You can only turn on this speech correction via an app on your smartphone. If your phone is steam driven, you can't enable it. Great soundbar for the mone...

Surpassed Expectations!
This is my third Bose Soundbar purchase. It’s more than I expected. I was jumping up from the Soundbar 300 and it’s surpassed my expectations.

Nice soundbar
Lovely looking and very well made, sits discretely under the T.V.
Getting it to pair with app and a lack of instructions makes a beautiful purchase a little hard to swallow and not sure it warrants it's rather steep price tag.

Big upgrade on TV speakers
I have had the Bose smart soundbar for about a week and a half. The initial set up was a little fiddly and the app seemed to be 'stuck' performing an update. I eventually unplugged the unit, waited 30 seconds and switched on again and everything fell into place. It is certainly a big improvement on my TV's speakers. It has great sound and I find the bass more than ad...

600 Smart Soundbar
I upgraded from the Bose TV Speaker, the 600 is hugely superior in sound quality. I probably should give it 5 stars but don’t really have any experience to judge against. However the two small niggles I have is there isn’t a ‘numbered’ volumne. Secondly which might be my lack of knowledge is the app always says playing from LPCM 2.0 not matter what I am watching? But I ...

Good Soundbar
Had it two weeks and has proved good with speech although surround sound not great even with a Dolby Atmos feed from Netflix programmes. It needs rear speakers to provide a more realistic 'surround' experience.

Sound quality A++
I’ve now had this a month and the sound quality is fantastic and really doesn’t need the sub woofer unless you really want that extra base. You can alter the sound to your choice it’s not just set by manufacturer and the voices are enhanced so you still hear them in loud background scenes. Fully recommended A++

Good but not as good as should be
Having bought Bose products for the last 17 years I’ve found the sound to be the exceptional quality as the name has always been. However, the connectivity and reliability of connectivity is something Bose cannot get right when it comes to WiFi. Today I left the house with wife at home, the Spotify played from a few hours earlier and the unit would not turn off when my ...
