Rated 4 out of 5

Great sound quality with smart features

I've been using the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar for over a year now, and overall, I'm pretty impressed. The standout feature is definitely the audio quality-clear dialogue, deep bass (even without a separate subwoofer), and a very immersive surround sound experience, especially when watching movies or streaming shows. The Dolby Atmos support adds a noticeable sense of height and space, though it's not quite the same as a full home theater setup. Still, for a single soundbar, it does an excellent job filling the room. Bose's AI Dialogue Mode is also a big plus-it makes voices much clearer without having to constantly adjust volume. Setup was straightforward using the Bose Music app, and integration with voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant works smoothly. Streaming via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or AirPlay is seamless, which makes it very convenient for music as well. On the downside, the price is definitely on the higher end, especially considering that you may still want to add a subwoofer or rear speakers for the best experience. Final verdict: If you're looking for a premium, all-in-one soundbar with excellent sound clarity, smart features, and easy setup, this is a great choice. Just be prepared to pay a bit extra for the Bose name and ecosystem.

Awesome wireless system

One week of use. Sound is amazing but I also got the subwoofer and the surround speakers. Application is a must to be able to configure the system. Dolby Atmos works well but again you need proper configuration

I bought this few months ago to my husband, and I enjoy it as much as he does. The sound, the feeling of the sound is in another level., it's perfection in a simple expression. I just love Bose.

Great when it works

It sounds great when I can get it to stay on with my Samsung TV. For some reason it turns itself off at random and the Samsung TV speaker comes on instead. It also has an intermittent problem with my picking a Program on streaming services and it stays on for a few seconds and then fades out and I have to turn it back on and then it stays on the second time.

Amazing Sound Quality and Clarity !

Briliant speaker and sound. I have used Bose home speaker 500 and Bose sound max Bluetooth speakers as well. But this Bose Ultra Smart Soundbar has blown my mind as I prefer to listen at high volume .

Great sound quality and adaptability to the room.

I bought this item nearly a month ago and I have enjoyed every moment of its use. Whether I am watching movies or shows, or playing video games, the sound quality and surround system within my room is unmatched. I am glad I upgraded from the Bose Soundbar 500 to the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar. This is an experience unlike any other thus far.

My favourite product

I've had this soundbar for about a month now, and honestly, I can't stop raving about it. The difference it's made to my TV sound is incredible. What used to feel flat and ordinary now feels rich, clear, and properly cinematic. I've always dreamed of having that "cinema room" experience at home, and this is a big step in that direction. Dialogue is crisp, music sounds full, and films feel far more immersive. I'm already planning to save up for the surround sound speakers to complete the setup but even on its own, this soundbar is seriously impressive. One of the best things? It was ridiculously easy to set up. No hassle, no confusion just plug in and enjoy. It's not just for TV either-I can stream music straight from my phone, and it sounds fantastic. If you enjoy good sound, you'll appreciate this immediately. Genuinely one of the best purchases I've made. If you're thinking about it, save up and go for it, you won't regret it. Watching films at home now feels like a real treat. The popcorn and drinks much cheaper too.

Ease of use.

It's everything and more after owning a Soundbar 700. Easy no nonsense set up. Subwoofer 700 easily connected. All the bells and whistles are performing perfectly!

Bringing the movie theater home

I had an older system and I always disliked all the cables connecting up to the bass unit. When we moved into our new house a few weeks ago I upgraded to the new wireless soundbar and bass. We love it! With our new 75" TV we feel like we're at the movie theater and the sound is amazing!

Ultra soundbar and Bass 700

Bose Ultra and Bass 700 Was a little finicky when setting up WiFi but once the app, WiFi and sub were connected the result was fantastic. Mine is on a large open room and I was concerned that the sound would not be rich enough after coming from a wired Bose surround and sub system. But don't let the size of the soundbar fool you. With the optional bass 700 this system booms! I am very happy with its performance. Will done !

Big Screen Need Big Sound

I have a projector screen. I'm a projector person. So I wanted to make sure that I had speakers to match. I first tested the Smart Ultra Soundbar out at Brands BrandsMart and immediately put it on my wishlist. While it has a high price tag, it's worth the value, and I was able to get it at a more affordable price through Bose's trade-in program. So happy I did. The sound is loud, but clear. The base on the speaker has a good punch but it never overwhelms the dialogue. The thing that was fascinating was that it really does a good job of simulating surround sound. Even though it's just a single sound bar, there have been many times where I would watch a movie and the noise from a particular sound felt like it was coming from several feet to the left. If you can afford the Bass Module 700 as well, I highly recommend it, but honestly this sound bar is really good enough on its own.

Engulfs listeners in sound

I bought the Smart Ultra for a large family room. Great choice as it fills the room with sound. The atmos speaker at height and the other speakers help fill the room. Combined with the 700 sub and rear speakers it is an ideal setup that engulfs you with sound - even with a14-foot ceiling in ou 15 by 24-foot room.
