Bose Smart Dolby Atmos Soundbar, Bluetooth Soundbar Speaker with Voice Control and Amazon Alexa Built-In, Works with Google Assistant Capabilities, Black

Bought this to get a Dolby atmos soundbar to replace my ageing QM4 105 one after trying the Sonos Beam 2 also.The Sonos one had a lot of issues for me - Trueplay wouldn't work and calibrate, issues with some low frequency / bass rattle. Hours on the phone with support to no avail. I returned it and got this one from Bose and what a difference.Worked almost straight out of the box via eARC HDMI (had to get the app and set up, not just wired mode), great and clear sound and the high channel for the atmos (upward facing speakers) makes a difference, even with high ceiling (5m). Dialogue is crystal clear without the AI dialogue enhancer, which also seems to work but at the expense of dulling other sounds.The alien attack scenes at "A quiet place" were amazingly engaging and I got goosebumps whereas the wife got genuinely scared. The quality this can produce without a rear speaker or a bass module is astounding, although I think it will probably benefit from the bass module. Even though I wouldn't say the bass is bad, it lacks the punch my old 105 or even the Sonos.If I could critique anything else, it would be that it's a little bland when it comes to just audio play. Not bad but not outstanding. Having said that, the AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and chromecast support are very convenient and Spotify integration is great. I have not yet tried surround audio from Apple Music and only tried the Bjork concert on TV+ but if you don't like her music, it's hard to be objective.One thing I'd like the app to do better is to show the source type playing better/easier so you can see when something is using dolby atmos - you have to click the current source and open it to see if it's atmos or PCM or whatever. Also, volume adjustment is not bound to the iPhone volume controls when using AirPlay, I guess this is standard.Overall, great / exceptional value for the money. If you can get the old model 600 without the AI enhancement cheaper, go for it.

The actual sound bar gets 5 starts. It’s sounds incredible and the Dolby atmos is night and day to what we were hearing from the tv speakers. We have a smallish living room and the sound fills the entire room even at low volumes. The audio is nice and clear too. Music also sounds awesome.The initial set up was also pretty straightforward and didn’t take me too long.It’s also big but not too large to fit on a standard tv stand.Now the bit I hate the most is the app. Which I would give 2 stars to. It loses connection a lot and then struggles to reconnect even when. My phone is right in front of the sound bar.You do get a remote with the system to control the volume but if you want to control separate aspects like bass or treble, it has to be done via the app. This can be frustrating. Most of the time I leave my settings as I left them so the app isn’t vital but it’s just annoying that it loses connection when you need it.I bought the little surround speakers that link with it and they really complete the sound.Overall it’s definitely a big improvement to the tv speakers and if you’re not one to be constantly fiddling with settings on the app, it’s definitely a good purchase, otherwise you’ll probably get quite frustrated with it all.

I was speechless when I first play music on this sound bar.I am delighted and stunned with the sound quality.This sound bar is a best audio experience for anyone who watches films or gaming.You hear conversations clearly and also you hear all the sound that unrecognisable with tv speaker.I say do not look anywhere else just buy BOSE soundbar and you will be sorted for your audio at home.The setup is straightforward.Nothing too complicated.You can connect it to your phone and play music with best quality.The speaker is working very well on lower volume as well.Well done BOSE engineers.👏👏👏👏This is a masterpiece.

All good

This is my first ever bose sound bar and what an amazing piece of kit. Truly exceptional sound whether watching tv or using the built in radio tuner it sounds amazing, even better when watching any Dolby Atmos films. Bit tricky to setup via the app but when connected it is easy to change settings and alexa or Google voice activation.

Paid a lot of money thinking this is a premium product and I wish I hadn't.Constant problems with it disconnecting from the TV. The sound quality is not much better than the TV built in speakers making it fairly redundant anyway.It has now completely locked up trying to install an automatic update and I have spent hours onto Bose support trying to fix it with no joy.Waste of money.

Took ages to set up,as you have to download apo, then it had to do updates, set up all my settings on LG tv ,set up speaker to work with tv when switched on etc, but every morning I have to unplug speaker and plug it in again for it to recognize tv,such a shame, saved £100 buying in black Friday deal, but £399 is a lot to waste for something that s great when it works, but shut when you have to keep resetting it, also having to use an app, very disappointed with it, also didn't play Dolby armies only lpc2 through tv, would not recommend for price, better optio nd out there, wasted money for me, but let down from big name, ....

Bought this as an upgrade from the Bose TV speaker. It has excellent sound with great base. Ideal for medium size room.
