The product is amazing. It is very easy to setup and the sound quality is supreme. The adaptive technology is a unique feature that can elevate the overall experience by focusing on your selected spots from where you listen to sound. The bass and treble features gives you a complete theatre like experience experiencing surround sound just with a sound bar. I was earlier going for a complete speaker setup but realized this is the ultimate minimalist product you need for a small home.

I’ve purchased Bose products before and I have never been disappointed with them. My Bose console to a dive and needed something quick and I found the Bose Ultra soundbar. Because, I had the rear speakers and base modules from my other system, now, I have the great sound and need when watching movies. I would recommend this product hands down. Make sure you have the rear wireless speakers and bass module for the full sound effect. Because, I like a full bass sound is why I recommend the rear speakers and bass modules. Otherwise, you not be disappointed.

This is is an amazing sound bar, the clarity and AI voice feature is actually very impressive. Build quality is excellent I don't think it is an eye sore under any TV setup.
The reason for the 4 star rating is mostly cause the app is a little finicky sometimes. It forgets I'm already connected and makes me pair again and sometimes the connection via HDMI is not as consistent as just using Bluetooth with an Apple Tv paired but otherwise this is an amazing add to my system, need to look into the subwoofer

Great sound with easy setup. Only glitch is if tv paused more than 20 minutes it will go to sleep and you have to reset tv sound to soundbar. I am using optical connector, maybe not an issue with hdmi, however i have full surround system for movies. The soundbar definitely sounds better with the bose woofer added. Fits nicely under my center channel for regular tv watching

Good sound quality, it was relatively easy to set up. There’s a bose app that you can download to Your phone for set up

I bought this speaker to connect to my desktop computer instead of using the TV speakers; which I use the TV as an additional monitor in my set-up; however, when I just want to use my monitors that don't have built-in speakers, I connect to the sound bar via Bluetooth, and I can listen to my music, game, or watch videos. This speaker is made for surround sound for a home theater, so I went all out, but in the end I'm satisfied because I use it across all my devices... from desktop, to TV, my iPads, and my iPhone; the bluetooth connection is quick and easy, and it also comes with a Fiber Optic cord for direct connection as well; if thats what you're looking for. I tested this out with my TV as it has the associated port for this specialty audio cable. Final statement, this speaker is High Quality, so if you're looking to impress, go for it!

Good sound. I bought the subwoofer to go with it. It does take up my Arc HDMI port but switches devices seamlessly. The App is also easy to navigate. Down fall is you cannot use the Bose speaker in an Alexa sound group

Brand response from Bose Support

I'm glad you like the sound quality of your Smart Ultra Soundbar! Disconnections from your TV should not occur, and are not necessarily a sign that the soundbar is defective. Please make sure both your TV and your soundbar are running the latest firmware. If they are, there are one or two resets we can also try. Please contact our support team for further assistance with these: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

The Bose Ultra Smart Soundbar has genuinely impressed me. Its audio quality stands out, making it feel like other soundbars are playing catch-up. The sound is so crisp, it's like being enveloped in a cinematic experience right at home. Setting it up with my Alexa echo was a breeze, and the mobile app is a nifty touch for sound direction control. My playlists? They sound like I'm at a live gig. I doubt I'll look at other speaker brands after this. Linking it with Alexa and Amazon music was straightforward, giving me that front-row concert vibe.

Is the best selling sound bar that adjust to noise levels like commercials, different programming etc. and also has a dialogue option so you can hear voices even at a whisper. I have tried other sound bars like the elite Sony 700 and Sonos. Not too impressive with the highs. Sonos is good for music and attic speakers and other rooms. Bose now has this option as well. I’ve had many Bose systems over the years,just a single unit stepped Bose stepped up. CON; Bose needs add a HDMI out. I love going to Best Buy because I can hear the different options but truth is you have to get it home and set it up to really know the difference. But with this system with two other products, this is Best Buy. I’ve talked to many people about different sound bars and how the sound goes up and down. You have to adjust it this unit you do not have to adjust your base, mid range, fader and run your adapt, IQ and your set.

After just a bit of technical assistance from Bose the new Smart Ultra Soundbar really gives a surround sound experience when coupled with the Bass Module 700 and rear surround speakers. It fits perfectly between the legs of my 65-inch Television with 1/8th inch to spare on each side. Excellent customer support at the Princess Anne, Virginia Beach store.

I've been a Bose fanatic since forever. From Soundwave, ear buds to comuter speakers, name it. At it says, Bose just doesn't surrounds you, it immerses you, Simply amazing. Try it yourself to experience the awesomeness of true high end sounds!!!
