Bose Smart Soundbar Review: Old Bar, New AI Tricks

 

Bose updates its compact smart bar with a simpler name and some cool new features.

Sleek and compact design. Musical and surprisingly expansive sound for its size. AI Dialogue Mode is excellent. Dolby Atmos support with dedicated up-firing drivers. Versatile Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming. Alexa built in. Multiple ways to add on....

Still lacks lower bass punch. Sparse speaker layout occasionally gets overwhelmed. No DTS audio support. Some app features are confusing. Adding Open Earbuds is pricey.

Not the most natural tonality ; Limited bass depth ; Very similar to the old 600-series model

It's not the last word in timbral fidelity, particularly for music, but Bose's small soundbar can rouse impressively large and cinematic sound for its size. Ideal if space is limited.

A bit pricey, but feature-packed

Good quality sound ; Personal surround sound feature ; Voice assistant support

A bit pricey ; Bass is a bit light ; Narrow soundstage

The Bose Smart Soundbar’s has a premium price, but you’re getting quite a bit for it. The features on hand are very impressive, including one unique one that unfortunately requires an extra purchase. Audio quality is typical for Bose as well, though...
