This soundbar is excellent
This soundbar is excellent. I love that it has top-facing speaker grilles, which allow the sound to project upward. Other, more expensive bars often have a glass surface on top, which limits vertical sound projection. With this one, sound flows forward, sideways, upward, and backward—creating a fully immersive experience.I later added the Bose Bass Module 500 via wired connection, and the improvement in low-end response was immediate. However, even without the subwoofer, the soundbar performs very well when watching Dolby Atmos content.Using your TV’s eARC port is key. In my setup, I connected the Apple TV to HDMI 1 and the soundbar to HDMI 2 (eARC) on my 70” LG QNED TV. Proper configuration avoids annoying black screen flickers while the system negotiates the audio format. I recommend disabling Apple TV’s automatic frame rate and dynamic range switching, and on the LG TV, setting the audio output to “passthrough” instead of “auto.”Finally, adding the Bose Surround Speakers 300 (also applies to the 700s) takes the system to a whole new level. In my large, closed room, you can truly feel effects surround you—like a bullet whizzing past your right ear. Just amazing.

Okay speaker, horrible technology
I have had this product for over a year and I probably could only use it a handful of days or times since my purchase. Managing the app and connecting to any of the technology that I have in my house has been nothing but a pain in my tail. I have called in for help, done all the troubleshooting, and it does not work consistently. When I do get the speaker to work it sounds good but this isn’t worth the money and I would never buy it again.

Depite the Miserable Setup Experience, it’s a Really Nice Soundba
The enclosed instruction manual is a monstrous 2 pages long — mostly figures telling you to Plug it in and download the Bose App on your Smart Phone. First, I consider myself tech savvy, but was thwarted immediately following setting up both WiFi and Bluetooth. I downloaded the ‘real’ instruction manual and attempted to follow the Troubleshooting advice therein. In short, the setup process totally stalled during the App’s attempt to download the soundbar’s data update. On Day One I gave up after 2 hours and decided to try again the next day.On Day Two, I decided I should slow down and start all over, thinking I missed something on Day One. After another hour, I did what I should have done after wasting only 30 minutes on Day One…I CALLED BOSE.I won’t try to explain the convoluted steps that I was instructed to perform, but they worked. It took the Bose Rep 15 minutes to get the soundbar MOSTLY working. The rep told me that the data download would take 30-40 minutes!!! No where do the instructions tell you this download would take that long, Anyway, that sounded crazy to me, but OK. I thanked him and hung up.After two hours the data download was still ‘downloading.’ Time to call Bose again. A different rep walked me through and EVEN MORE convoluted process required to download the update. Rep #2 was great. He remained on the line during the download, during which he walked me through some detailed nuances of the Bose App in which he fine tuned the device. By the end of our 30 minute conversation, I was totally setup.In the end, I love the quality sound coming from my Smart Soundbar.Good luck and, if at first you don’t succeed (in setting up your Smart Soundbar), STOP and call Bose for help.

Happy I got this surround bar amazing sound quality,

Cumple bien el producto solo tiene HDMI y fibra óptica, no tiene 3.5 mm. El atmos está ok y no active el molesto Alexa, de lo wifi muy bien con tune in, en la primera entrega los repartidores me la cambiaron por unas cervezas pack y lo reporte Amazon se hizo cargo y fue reemplazado, revisen sus entregas al ser un producto de gama alta.
