I bought the Bose Smart Soundbar 300 to replace my Bose Solo 5. I enjoyed the Solo 5 but the sound from this blows it out of the water, especially when watching films with Dolby Atmos. I've only had it a couple of weeks but very impressed so far. I've seen some reviews complaining about having to use the Bose Music App and having problems, but so far I've not encountered any. I used the highest speed HDMI cable to connect the soubdbar to my TV using eArc and it was easy to set up. All in all I'm very pleased with this soundbar.

We bought two smart sound bars. We hoped to enhance our TVs. We can NOT get the Bose and the TVs speakers to play together. We've tried every setup offered by the TV's audio. Still trying.

Good Soundbar, right on the edge of needing a bass module

As expected, Bose still delivers the sound i always thought it would be. "The best sound quality " I will give it it a rate of 5 stars!!!

Great product! The sound is amazing. The only thing I do notice is that communication is lost at times with my tv even though is hooked up to the HDMI. It happens randomly not all the time.

BOUGHT TO REPLACE OLD BROKEN SOUND THEATRE, WE WERE SOLD ON THE IDEA OF VOICE BOOST, WHICH REALLY WORKS. BIT OF WORK NEEDED TO GET DOWNLOADS DONE FOR BLUETOOTH. MY TV ONLY HAS 2 HMDI, ONE FOR SKY, ONE FOR DVD PLAYER, SO HAVE TO USE OPTICAL CONNECTION, THIS MEANS I DON'T GET VOLUME CONTROL ON TV CONTROL. QUALITY SOUND WHEN I USE HMDI CABLE AND PROBABLY AMAZING IF WE HAD E CONNECTION.GOOD POINTS ARE CABLES COME WITH THE UNIT. WIFE LOVES THE FACT THAT THE PLACE LOOKS TIDY NOW. WOULD RECOMMEND, BUT EVERYONE HAS THERE OWN VIEWS. SUITS ME THOUGH

Sounds good, but one remote feature with roku has a bug. When power up the TV and Your Sound Bar with ROKU remote. The sounds comes on for a couple of seconds and the turns off. I have to retrieve the sound bar's remote to tell it to turn on. Been this way since i installed it

Purchased a few weeks ago to replace my BOSE TV Speaker which incidentally barely works at all with the Bass Module 500. The Smart soundbar is a big improvement together with the Module 500 and the BOSE App which allows you to tweak the sound including the bass module. One thing I'm not a big fan of is that you cannot disable Bose True Space if you do not care for spatial sound effect to listen to music out of a speaker.

I bought the Bose Smart Soundbar as a Christmas gift to myself. Ho boy what a present it is. Wonderful full rich sound and it's a beautiful addition to the decor. I couldn't ask for more!

This soundbar was a good choice for what we needed to project sound from our older SONY Bravia TV across a fairly large room. The set up was amazingly easy. We are pleased with the quality and the fact that we can project devices other than the TV to the soundbar.

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.......

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!!

A Great Upgrade from the Solo 5 TV Speaker
By Atanarjuat
The Smart Soundbar was a much-needed upgrade from the Bose Solo 5 TV Speaker which I had been using and frankly had been finding a little underwhelming. I welcomed the Smart Soundbar to our living room a couple of weeks before Christmas, which was perfect timing in terms of taking it through its paces with all the binge-watching of movies and catching up on episodes! The Soundbar comes packaged with everything you need to get connected right away, and the set up is incredibly easy with the B...

Surpassed Expectations!
By WECK
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.

With Dolby Atmos® and TrueSpace technology, you hear sound that feels far bigger than the Smart Soundbar.
Enjoy Dolby Atmos®-enabled content with sound that moves around and above you.

Bose TrueSpace smartly upmixes non-Atmos content into full multi-channel audio.
With A.I. Dialogue Mode, voices are enhanced and balanced against background sound.

This soundbar delivers sound that feels three-dimensional.

With Amazon Alexa (built-in) or Google Assistant, you have hands-free control over everything.

Thanks to Bose Voice4Video technology, you can use Alexa to power on your TV, switch inputs, or adjust volume.
From guided setup to choosing all your preferences, the Bose app is the key to all Smart Soundbar has to offer. Connect the soundbar to your TV using either HDMI™ eARC/ARC or the optical audio connection (both cables are included) and hook it up to power. The Bose app walks you through the rest. You can then set up voice control and Voice4Video, manage Bose Wi-Fi-enabled products, update software, and browse all your music in one place.

With Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Chromecast, stream music or podcasts the way you want.
