Bose - Smart Ultra Soundbar

Bose in white looks so good in my living room. Big fan. On par (slightly better or worse than Sonos depending on the reviewer) and some good deals online for it

With my setup, I decided for the smart ultra with the sub. I do want to get the 700 surrounds but decided I'd do that later. I do think the bar has enough base, but also not. Depends how deep you want it. To me it was "good enough" but lacking so I picked up the sub.

I have the bose and the 990d; previous model to the 990f. Buy the Samsung. 9/10ths as good for vocals as the bose, but the woofer can add low end, or the rears can be used for surround which will be $$$ with bose and sonos, plus late ar night you can keep it quiet with rear only.

I picked up the 75 inch model last October. I paired it with the Bose Smart Ultra soundbar and subwoofer. It looks and sounds fantastic.

Lol. Yeah, hometheater and soundbars dont mix lol. If your budget was a little higher, the ONLY soundbar i would recommend would be the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar. But just the soundbar, is a little over $700. Include the subs and the surrounds, and ur at $2300 lol. U can get much fuller and realistic sound for less with a 5.1 surround setup.

I’ve had the sennheiser ambeo, Bose smart ultra, and the Samsung q800, in that order. First two were returned for connectivity issues with my newish Samsung tv. The q800 has been great (the ambeo probably had the best surround but only if it connected). Q symphony is amazing. With the first two bars, you could clearly tell the sound was coming from below the TV… q symphony fixes that completely. And the subwoofer is amazing.

I have both. Only downside of Bose is the surrond speakers and the cost. The bose ultra soundbar cost as much as the whole samsung system. The bass module 700 is another 900 to get the full potential of the Bose system. Their surround is way too pricy unless you want to wait for a new surround release.

I’ve heard it and can say that it has great detail and clarity and it’s sub is pretty strong but until they build rears that are bigger than 2 candy bars and have Atmos, I couldn’t buy them.

If you only want a stand-alone soundbar without the sub or rears the Bose would be the best imo

Getting the Q990F and not using the rear speakers or the sub is just a waste and if I were to only have the Bar, the Bose Smart Ultra would be my choice by a lot. I’ve heard all 3 and it’s the best choice for what you’re looking for and I’d bet the wife will like its looks the best as well. I normally don’t recommend the Bose because it’s got terrible rear speakers but since you don’t want that, it’s definitely the best choice for what you want

Bose Smart Ultra has very impressive bass for a soundbar. I'd still always recommend a subwoofer but if I bought a soundbar with no sub it'd be that one.

I had the same experience with the Bose Smart Ultra but ultimately it'd be a thousand pounds more than the Q990F if I got the rear surrounds and the sub also and that's why I settled on the Q990F. Subjectively, to my ears having tested both I liked the sound of the Bose more. Just not enough more to spend that much money. If Bose ever bring out rears that do Atmos I'll probably take the plunge, though.

Ultra. Granted I’m not a bass head and live in an apartment and tried both the 600 and Ultra. Wider soundstage and room correction(not sure if they’ve added it to the Smart). I’m still sometimes surprised at how sounds feel like they’re coming from the sides of my living room. If you feel the bass isn’t enough, you can save up and get the BM but you can’t add to the bar.

I purchased an Ultra 4 weeks ago and two weeks later I bought my father a 990 for his birthday. In my opinion, I thought the Bose had a more crisp sound in dialogue and quality build. The 990 was just all around louder and blows you away. It’s packed with speakers and the sub is great. I personally prefer the the sound of Bose more. I think you get what you pay for with that. But as far as just raw volume and bang for your buck, the 990 is unmatched, I’m in an apartment so the Bose is great for me, my dads house is filled out with the Samsung. I think both are great, I just have a preference. The Samsung is probably the better pick if I’m being completely honest.
