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.

Solidly made with plate glass top, simple HDMI connection and set up via Bose app and headset microphone. One linked the volume is controlled by our Bluetooth TV remote.My TV gives great images but lacks good spacious sound imaging and I don’t always want to power up the AV receiver to watch a programme. The Bose adds a reasonable amount of width and height to the sound stage and the speech enhancement is quite good especially at lower volumes. We recently watched a film with lots of whispering and heard it clearly, then watched the same at a friend’s using an AV receiver and had difficulty hearing the dialogue.Initially we thought it was an acceptable improvement on our TV speakers but didn’t match up to the praise given by reviews – then we streamed a film on Prime with Dolby Atmos sound track and suddenly the Bose came alive giving richer sounds, deeper bass and wider soundstage. I may be tempted to invest in the subwoofer eventually as simple, pleasing everyday sound source, links easily to internet radio and other sound sources.It sits under the very low bezel of our TV 2.3 inches and is a fraction narrower, listened to other recommended units at lower prices that impress at higher volumes but lacked the clarity of the Bose at moderate volumes often used for late night listening. Seemed slightly overpriced at first but it impresses the more we do with it, so overall a happy choice.

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.

Top Quality Sound Bar
I recently purchased the Bose Smart Ultra Sound Bar, and overall, I’m very impressed. Setting it up wasn’t the most intuitive process, and there were a few technical hiccups, but once I worked through them, it was up and running fairly quickly.The sound quality exceeded my expectations. It has an amazing ability to project sound in a way that occasionally feels like there are surround speakers, adding to the immersive experience.However, I’ve noticed an issue with the device frequently disconnecting from the Bose app. I’m not sure if this is a user error or a flaw with the app, but it’s a bit annoying. Still, it’s something I can work around given how much I enjoy the sound quality.I’m now considering purchasing more Bose products to complement this sound bar. Overall, it’s a great addition to my home audio setup!
