BoseSmart Ultra Soundbar, Surround Sound System for TV, Dolby Atmos Soundbar for TV Plus Alexa and Google Voice Control, Black

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Let me be blunt: the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar in White is not a soundbar. It’s a statement piece, an audio flex, and—if you’re like me—a borderline obsession. ✅ Why This Soundbar is in a League of Its Own: • Dolby Atmos Performance: The immersive surround is otherworldly. Movies, music, even YouTube—everything sounds like you upgraded to a private cinema. You feel the detail in the air, not just blasting at you from the front. • Voice Clarity that’s Unreal: Dialogue Mode and the custom-tuned center channel make speech perfectly crisp, even when explosions are happening in the background. No more riding the remote volume button.• Pure Aesthetic Pleasure: The white finish is chef’s kiss. Modern, bright, and impossibly elegant. It doesn’t just disappear under your TV—it elevates the entire space. I’ve had more than one guest say, “Wait, that’s a Bose?”• Smart Features that Actually Work: Alexa and Google Assistant built in, AirPlay 2 support, and seamless integration with Bose Music App. No clunky setups or lag—just instant connectivity. ✅ Pro Tips for Peak Experience: • Pair it with the Bose Bass Module 700 and Bose Surround Speakers 700—trust me, you’ll never look back. The low end will shake your soul in the best way. • Use Dialogue Mode for streaming and late-night sessions. It keeps vocals crisp without waking up the entire house. • If you can, mount it just below eye level for that floating, gallery-like presentation. ✅ Why It’s 5 Stars—No Debate: • White colorway: stunning and rare in a sea of black rectangles • Unmatched clarity and warmth in every frequency • Rock-solid build that feels premium the moment you unbox it • A setup so clean it looks pulled from an Architectural Digest spreadBottom line: If you want luxury sound that feels as good as it looks, this is the bar to own.5 stars—Bose proves yet again why they’re the standard everyone else is chasing.

The Bose Smart Ultra Soudbar is beautifully built and finished. Though compact, it provides phenomenal sound quality.Let me tell you, the setup was so simple - it took a single cable to hook to the television!There is a remote control that covers the basics, including powering the bar on and off, adjusting the volume, playing and pausing content, and selecting your input.After I put the soundbar in position and connected to the TV with power, I downloaded the "Bose Music Control" app, which is free for iOS and Android. This app gives you control of the soundbar and puts you in charge of the Adaptiq automatic room calibration system.The Smart Ultra Soundbar is compatible with Amazon Alexa and works with Google assistant if the appropriate smart speaker is on a common network. I didn't explore integrating the other Bost speakers, but it appears to be possible.There is a touch control on the top surface of the soundbar if you want to override the integrated microphone. If you leave the voice enabled, it is quick and easy to get what you want from the Bose simply by just asking. I'd say that I was impressed by the reliability of responses to my request. Apple AirPlay2 is available and Chromcast is built in. Also, you don't have to toggle to use the voice feature.The system essentially calibrates itself to your environment quickly and accurately and has plenty of control options. When it comes to sound quality, immediately the sound is very clear and reasonably balanced. We are audiophiles (record collection, love movies, amateur music room in home) and while dialogue enhancement and bass features are both available, I didn't need to use right away. I believe this is due to the True Space feature.It was hard to believe that such dynamic sound came from the compact soundbar, but I've had the Bose CD system for years. The spatial audio that comes from the bar is impressive. I didn't notice a significant difference in space and height of the sound, which was a concern initially after reading other reviews.You can utilize HDMI, ARC and wireless Bluetooth connections.Be prepared to have everything you watch feel like you're in an enhanced movie type of setting.One of my kids was playing the game while the soundbar was on. I was absolutely and thoroughly entrenched with the effects and he was thoroughly surprised that I had interest. It was the Bose sound.The unit comes at a reasonable price, especially considering it feels like you're on a quality soundstage.The package was delivered to my office and I was able to carry it. It fit across the backseat of my vehicle and set-up was easy.
