Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar With Dolby Atmos Plus Alexa, Wireless Bluetooth AI, Surround Sound System for TV, White

Replaced a bose smart soundbar 300 with this smart ultra. The sound out the 300 was great, especially when paired with bose bass module 500 so was sceptical on how it could be better. Been looking at up grading for a while now so when price dropped below £600 and a monthly payment plan i took the plunge and didnt regret it. The set up is simple( even for a techno phobe like me) and app is straight forward. Now for the important bit. The sound. All i can say is WOW! It imurses you in it, feels like sound coming from all around. Its crystal clear with a bone shacking bass, a sound you can feel not just hear. The 2 small up facing speakers make a hugh differance as sound seems to come from above. There is no distortion, even when volume is crancked right up. Even my wife who thinks im bonkers with no aprecation for quality audio said how amazing it is. The design is sleek and stylish, especally the glass top, alot wider than previouse 300 soundbar but fits perfect under my 55" oled tv. So anybody out there unsure weather to upgrade to this unit just do it. I promise you wont be dissapointed. Hoping santa is going to bring me the Bose rear surround speakers to finish this outstanding set up off. The set up is top end so not cheap but having done hi fi set ups back in the day not much difference and worth every penny.

The Bose Smart Ultra is a powerhouse. The standout feature for me is the A.I. Dialogue Mode. It’s the first time I’ve used a "speech boost" that doesn't make the rest of the audio sound thin or tinny. It intelligently balances voices against loud background effects, which has been a lifesaver for watching movies and playing immersive games without needing to constantly toggle subtitles. The spatial audio is also impressive for a single bar. It creates a very wide soundstage with a genuine sense of height for Dolby Atmos content. Setup was incredibly fast using the app, and the ADAPTiQ calibration made a noticeable difference in tuning the sound to my room. I wasn’t aware that connecting my Bose ultra headphones to the soundbar would give me superior audio over connecting the headphones to the tv via Bluetooth, like noticeably different. After a few weeks, I felt compelled to add the wireless rear surround speakers, and I’m so glad I did. While the bar does a great job with spatial effects, having the physical rears completely transformed the experience. It moved from a "wide soundstage" to a true 360-degree "bubble" of sound. Now, ambient noises like rain or distant footsteps feel like they are actually happening behind me. If you value total immersion, the bar is the perfect foundation, but the rear speakers are what truly finish the job. Highly recommended for anyone who wants crystal-clear dialogue and a cinema-grade feel.

Upgraded from a Bose 700 soundbar to this. At first run I though I'm going to send this back but in a short time I realized how much better this device is compared to the 700 series which I already loved very much. While the 700 was clear and nice, this really-really fills the room and does enhance the sounds by a lot while the older versions "just" gave you great sounds. They are not on the same level. Need to hear the difference. So why I'm giving 4 stars only? There's a bug which turns the TV back on when Atmos is used. In short, you're done for the day, use the TV remote to power off the TV should trigger CEC to turn this off as well. Sometimes after a minute or so, this device turns the TV back on stating an Atmos device has been connected. This should have been fixed with the latest 6.10 firmware but still produces the problem.

This is an outstanding Bose soundbar’ the app is solid without any issues and works like clockwork. You can use the App the adjust the sound settings to suit your personal sound preferences . The soundbar is a solid well designed device which looks elegant sitting on my tv stand. There is plenty of power in it if required’ it took me about 15minutes to set it up without any problems at all. The sound is crisp and clear especially with AI speach mode. I haven’t decided yet on adding surround speakers yet but it is a massive improvement on my Bose solo 2 tv speaker. The price is a real deal breaker. This is a top of the range soundbar from Bose. ADDED THE BOSE 700 surround speakers and the BOSE 500 SUBWOOFER AND WOW ITS INCREDIBLE’ so immersive’ just like being in the movie itself

Great sound clarity very good. Lacks depth in bass. Would need to buy bass module. That's also smoother£600 refurbished. Starts getting expensive.

Worth the money

This Bose product replaced the older 500 bar, sub and surround speaker setup I have had for about 5 years. I went originally for another brand that boasted Dolby Atmos sound but it just didn't deliver and I returned to Bose. This is now the only speaker I'm using as I've not felt the need to add a sub or surround speakers yet. I may do later on but so far, so very, very good. Easy to set up, even with the weird looking Adaptiq process. Just don't do it when you have visitors. :). Connectivity is easy and it is all just very simple to set up and get the best out of.

Excellent product Bose simply the best

Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar: A Mixed Bag The Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar promises immersive Dolby Atmos sound and voice control for a premium home theater experience. While it delivers on the audio front, the voice control functionality, particularly Alexa, has been a major letdown for users in certain regions. Sound Performance: * Immersive Audio: The soundbar excels in delivering a wide soundstage and height channels, creating a truly enveloping listening experience. * Clear Dialogue: The A.I. Dialogue Mode effectively enhances vocal clarity, ensuring you never miss a word. * Powerful Bass: Although the soundbar lacks a dedicated subwoofer, it still manages to deliver solid bass performance. Voice Control Issues: * Alexa Inaccessibility: The primary concern for many users is the lack of available voice assistants in specific regions. This significantly limits the soundbar's smart features. Overall: The Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar is a fantastic choice for those seeking high-quality audio performance. However, the current limitations with voice control, particularly Alexa, significantly impact the overall user experience. If voice control is a priority for you, it's advisable to explore other options or wait for potential firmware updates to address the issue. Note: It's recommended to check the latest updates and regional availability of voice assistants before purchasing.

Do not buy this item as renewed or refurbished despite the description saying that its 'like new'. I received the bar without the remote, while it functioned as a 'dumb' soundbar I could not access it via the app or wifi. It had a old configuration on it and it can only be factory reset via the original remote. Something I discovered after purchasing a replacement 3rd party. Bose support is hopeless, and couldnt even get me a price on a replacement original remote. Very disappointed by Amazon for selling it without the remote and not stating this and not factory resetting it before sending it. Also with Bose for 1) making it only factory reset capable via original remote and 2) having such horrible support

The best soundbar for the price

Für Deutschland bestellt, englischen Stecker bekommen. Einrichtung war, trotz KI Hilfe von Bose, nicht machbar. Gerät wurde vor 3 Wochen zurückgesendet, Geld ist bis heute nicht eingegangen. Ich habe eine Dolby Sorround Anlage von Bose, welche inkl. App läuft. Die Siundbar kann ich leider so, inkl. Service, nicht empfehlen. Hilfe ist nur mittels KI, nicht durch Servicepersonal, zu erhalten. Doppeltes minus dafür.

The reason for 2 stars is Chromecast and Alexa not supported and it seems that only here in the UAE and this is ready bad. 👎 other than that is has a great sound.
