Bose Smart Soundbar, Black, Bundle with Bass Module 500, 6' HDMI 2.0 Cable

2025-12-15T19:00:00

This replaced an old 5.1 Speaker and Amp system (another brand) that failed. This soundbar is great quality and fantastic sound. I prefer more bass so, I ordered the 700 Bass unit to compliment this. Absolutely love that both are wireless and controlled via the Bose App. They have GREAT sound, WOW!! Now, if I only had the 2 surround speakers.......

Déçu, car ne fonctionne plus après seulement 1 semaine d'usage. Grosse lumière rouge allume.

Had initial difficulty in setting it up as I was not aware that you have to have a Bose account before the unit can be accessed via Bluetooth. Once I set up an account the rest was easy enough to sort out. We don't need the other facilities that the soundbar has, we simply wanted a better sound from the TV. This unit delivers good clear sound and we are very pleased with this reasonably priced item

I bought my Bose Smart Soundbar and Bose Bass Module 500 last month and it's exactly what I was looking for in quality of sound.

Recently bought the smart sound bar with the bass 500 unit to replace my aging Bose 321 system. Though the sound was great, I found the soundstage in my place was lacking so I added the surround speakers which made it a true 7.1 surround system with great sound - especially with movies.

Great Bose sound as you would expect, but definitely Needs the sub to go with it. I got the sub on sale, and now it gives that Bose full spectrum sound we all know and love. Yes, it will crank enough to make your neighbor mad on movies or music. Couldn't be more pleased for the price point asked. Got both the bar and the sub on sale. Don't think it's worth the regular asking price, but if it's on sale it's a bargain.

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.

Great voice audio. Poor base. A little tinny sounding

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.

Bought this during the Black Friday sales, as a replacement for my old soundbar. Sound bar is a nice size compared to the larger versions. It was simple to set up and the sound is great. We didn't go with the bass module, but you could if you wanted too, for even more base to your sound! Before buying went to the local electrical shop, to compare various models and makes. We decided on this model and waited for Black Friday sales. We bought it via the Bose website, and to be honest it was an easy process and there was no issues at all. Delivery was via UPS and there was plenty of tracking updates!!

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.

Love s.

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, shame that. It has airplay 2 but that is a little limiting if you have multiple Echo Dots around the home.

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

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 money though.

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.

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.

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 adequate. Music streaming is easy and the sound is also very good. However, I have yet to get any sense of height from the upfiring speakers, including from programmes with Dolby Atmos sound. Maybe I just haven't watched the right programmes/ films yet and I am still playing around with the settings. Time will tell. I'm sorry to say the app is poor. It is slow, frequently crashes and at one point was repeatedly requesting feedback. It seemed to be stuck in a loop and I had to uninstall and reinstall to stop it happening. In fact, my phone sent a push notification that the Bose app was crashing frequently and I should put it in a deep sleep! App aside, quite pleased with the soundbar so far.

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 am very pleased with I do wish now though I brought the ultra smart bar as I am loving the improved sound and would like even better!

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. A real pain to set up as it required a software update and then stuck in update mode for hours when it indicates 'up to 25 minutes'. Needed help from support desk but their advice did not produce results. Had to delete soundbar from App and start again when it did update and was set for use. I will need to purchase surround speakers and probably a subwoofer to really experience a decent 'surround' sound.

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++

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 wife pressed the button to turn it off. The usual sound played but it just would not turn off. I actually drove home to try and connect the app but it wouldn't connect as didn't see the WiFi. So it somehow needed the WiFi to turn itself off? In the end the only way I could stop it playing was to remove the mains plug.. I cannot believe in 2025 still cannot get the WiFi part of technology right.. I also find the volume slide not very smooth in adjustment and sometimes jumping to high volume, something that was a problem in the past..

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.) It's possible I just got a faulty model, but I cannot in good faith recommend this product with my experience.

Set up is super easy, but I'm having connectivity issues. I have an LG TV. According to Bose support technician the issue is my TV does not "play nice" with anything other than an LG sound bar, which I had before I got the Bose because the volume was not loud enough. That being said I will keep the Bose. I'm happy with the performance and love the built in Alexa. The surround sound is really cool. I like Survivor and it sounds like the crickets are chirping outside my window! I watch a concert on YouTube every Saturday! You won't be sorry you chose a Bose soundbar. Now I have to replace this crappy TV. Lol
