"Bose 900 ... will give you the best dialogues"
"Crystal clear dialogue due to dedicated tweeter. ... Bose specifically prioritizes dialogue intelligibility with punchy and full bodied sound overall. ... It means full experience at any volume and no more “what did he say?” moments during Saturday night action scenes."
"The Bose sounded more cinematic, immersive with better dialogue clarity. ... it just didn't have the same cinematic sound when it came to movies and shows."

"My Bose 900 soundbar and 700 woofer SHAKE my house."
"We have bass modules for both bars as well and they definitely up the immersion factor. Not just by adding bass…the whole setup sounds bigger. ... There’s an added weight to the midrange…it’s not in your face, but noticeable."
"Bass wise, it absolutely blows my Samsung out of the water…"

"Rarely mentioned Bose trade-up program which allows you to get trade in value when you decide to upgrade to newer models. ... I had Bose 700 for 5 years before upgrading it to Bose Ultrasoundbar. ... Bose 700 was $750 at the time and got $300 trade in value towards the Ultrasoundbar purchase. ... For me, It was a minor inconvenience for getting a full $300 trade in value for a product I paid $750 at the time and used for five years."
"didnt know about the trade up program. Thanks for sharing that! ... Great to know it has good value down the road when I’m ready to upgrade."
"Software and feature support for many years. ... Something others can’t really promise or guarantee."

"To be clear, the Aperion Audio setup I had completely obliterated my current setup, but it should given the cost, size build quality...etc."
"Also the Bose soundbars don support DTS/DTS-HD (except the 700 which does lossy DTS core) so if you have blurays or use IMAX enhanced with a streaming service that audio will not work/ gets transcoded to lpcm."
"The Arc Ultra (standalone bar) sounds more immersive, fuller, more detailed and more accurate than both my Bose 900 and his Bose Ultra."

"didn’t buy the woofer until about a month later. ... Makes a huge difference."
"The Bose was very nice but for me by the time you add the Sub in your paying Q990D money. ... And for that 1% movies I'd take the Samsung."
"But if you have more experience with better sound systems it might feel a little weak and timid compared to a bar with a sub or more channels."

"I've also noticed after there's fairly limited options for audio adjustments with the new Bose bars. ... But I remember trying to help someone out and reading through the whole online user manual and more in depth options I was looking for were unavailable."
"Flat, 8ft ceilings and we don’t get specific height effects either."
