    SOUND snobs
    I admit it! We are sound snobs in this house. The regular speaker does not cut it after you hear and feel the Bose difference. I dare you to start watching transformers movie with the range of sound that you can hear during the movie and say you would go back to the regular way of life again. I was worried the price was a bit much but then I realized I didn’t need to fuss with all the other speakers for a great Quality surround sound at home. BOSE is always welcome in our home!It took seconds to connect to my Samsung Frame tv and I didn’t need a degree from MIT to make it all work!!

    The Bose Smart Ultra Soudbar is beautifully built and finished. Though compact, it provides phenomenal sound quality.

    Let me tell you, the setup was so simple - it took a single cable to hook to the television!

    There is a remote control that covers the basics, including powering the bar on and off, adjusting the volume, playing and pausing content, and selecting your input.

    After I put the soundbar in position and connected to the TV with power, I downloaded the "Bose Music Control" app, which is free for iOS and Android. This app gives you control of the soundbar and puts you in charge of the Adaptiq automatic room calibration system.

    The Smart Ultra Soundbar is compatible with Amazon Alexa and works with Google assistant if the appropriate smart speaker is on a common network. I didn't explore integrating the other Bost speakers, but it appears to be possible.

    There is a touch control on the top surface of the soundbar if you want to override the integrated microphone. If you leave the voice enabled, it is quick and easy to get what you want from the Bose simply by just asking. I'd say that I was impressed by the reliability of responses to my request. Apple AirPlay2 is available and Chromcast is built in. Also, you don't have to toggle to use the voice feature.

    The system essentially calibrates itself to your environment quickly and accurately and has plenty of control options. When it comes to sound quality, immediately the sound is very clear and reasonably balanced. We are audiophiles (record collection, love movies, amateur music room in home) and while dialogue enhancement and bass features are both available, I didn't need to use right away. I believe this is due to the True Space feature.

    It was hard to believe that such dynamic sound came from the compact soundbar, but I've had the Bose CD system for years. The spatial audio that comes from the bar is impressive. I didn't notice a significant difference in space and height of the sound, which was a concern initially after reading other reviews.

    You can utilize HDMI, ARC and wireless Bluetooth connections.

    Be prepared to have everything you watch feel like you're in an enhanced movie type of setting.

    One of my kids was playing the game while the soundbar was on. I was absolutely and thoroughly entrenched with the effects and he was thoroughly surprised that I had interest. It was the Bose sound.

    The unit comes at a reasonable price, especially considering it feels like you're on a quality soundstage.

    The package was delivered to my office and I was able to carry it. It fit across the backseat of my vehicle and set-up was easy.

    Several years ago, I bought a Bose soundbar 300 and absolutely loved it.. It wasn't as user friendly because of the infrared remote and the lack of accessibility through an app.
    The sound, the ease of use through the app is unbelievable and very easy.. The sound is so crisp makes you feel like you are at the movie theater..
    I bought a Bose subwoofer 700 and syncing it to the somebody was a breeze with the app!!! The subwoofer coupled with the soundbar definitely makes you feel like you are at the theaters and movie like experience!

    The con that I have with the whole thing is the cost.. it is relatively expensive but definitely worth an investment..

    If you're on the fence of thinking about buying it pull the trigger and get it!! You'll be glad that you did!!

    When I first set up the soundbar, it worked great. Watching tv, playing music from our phones, sound was phenomenal. Super Bowl Sunday arrives and we moved the soundbar to the living room to host the event for about a dozen friends. It’s working great, until half way through the game. When the Halftime show begins, the soundbar goes mute. Cannot get any sound to come out. Had to disconnect it to get sound on my tv. Move it back to the bedroom tv. Now playing music from our phone is terrible. It buffers constantly. And it doesn’t work on the tv anymore. We have to unplug it and plug it back in every time we want to watch tv. Which means moving the dresser out to get to the plug and moving it back. Every time. Called Bose multiple times for help only to be on hold for hours with no one ever answering the phone. This was a THOUSAND dollar purchase and no support??? Missed the return by 4 days. I’m FURIOUS.

    I followed the guide on setup using the Bose Music App which launches from a QR code you get in the box.

    Then I tested out audio playback on the Soundbar several ways.

    Using TV with audio playing on the Soundbar via ARC connection - it automatically stops using the TV speakers and routes audio to the soundbar - can support up to 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos playback.

    Using Apple TV going in to the TV input with audio playing on the Soundbar via ARC connection - it automatically stops using the TV speakers and routes audio to the soundbar - can support up to 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos playback.

    Using iOS Apps connecting to Airplay 2 to play audio on the Soundbar.

    Using iOS Apps connecting to Bluetooth to play audio on the Soundbar.

    Using the iOS Bose Music App to play Spotify audio on the Soundbar - there are awkward and limited menus here but it does work.

    Using the IOS Spotify App to play music on the Soundbar - you have to turn off Use Local Devices Only to see the Soundbar as a choice. A quirk when using the Spotify App exists where to initially start playing on the Soundbar you want to start playing audio on the iPhone first and then switch over to the Soundbar as the Soundbar doesn’t seem to connect if there isn’t an audio signal already playing.

    Each way of connecting worked, but I will most often use the Spotify App or Apple TV. Directly connecting to the Soundbar from the Spotify app is the most responsive way to start and stop and change the music.

    Sound quality is good, build quality is good, I’m happy with it. I don’t have additional speakers in the room. Playing movies with 5.1 support or 5.1.2 support works well. Dialog is clear even without the special AI option.

    The Bose Music App is easy to use and allows you to tweak Height, Center, Bass, and Treble levels but I didn't feel the need to change these. For CEC settings, besides on and off you can set other variations in case you are getting odd interactions between connected equipment like the TV getting turned back on when you are just accessing the soundbar via Airplay 2. I use the setting called Option 6 to avoid having the TV turn back on just after turning it off. There is a choice of having the Soundbar automatically turn off after 20 minutes if not being used, but I set it to never automatically turn off as it is a bit confusing when you go back to your TV which is still on but the Soundbar is turned off.

    I wish it had on/off and play/pause buttons on the bar as I find that feature useful on Sonos speakers from time to time. I think if you are already bought in to the Sonos ecosystem, the Sonos Arc is a better choice because it is also high quality and syncs so well with other Sonos speakers you may already own.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Sound is ok; Chromecast is garbage

    Arrived in perfect condition. Very easy to install.

    It gets very loud with no distortion. There’s ample bass. Surround sounds are convincing enough.

    For music:
    Problem is the sound is fake or very artificial and somehow sounds hollow. Like some frequencies are scooped out. The limited EQ doesn’t fix the issue. Acoustic instruments sound absolutely terrible in this thing; their tonality is hardly better than a pair of 40$ discount bin computer speakers.

    I didn’t even try it for movies. I’m not keeping it anyway considering how absolutely bad it is with music.

    Plus: Chromecast is absolutely garbage. When playing tracks on the device, it randomly skips them. I don’t know if it’s the implementation on this product or Chromecast in general, but it is absolutely unusable.
