Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar…

I never owned a Bose soundbar, however I had headphones instead and I loved them!
The Bose sound quality its top notch, no matter what content you are watching or what music you are listening to. The sound effects and clarity are present in Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround 5.1 or Dolby Atmos, the bar has a built in sub however I do recommend either Bose 500 or 700 module bass and maybe the rear speakers for a cinema room!
However, this Bose Soundbar Smart Ultra is a newer version of Bose 900, with a software upgrade and the built in A.I.
This soundbar was released in 2023 however the module bass available are 2018 models, which its not ideal to have a 6 years old unit where you cannot push any new software to it.
I won't talk about delivery and unboxing this time as it was below my expectations however the accessories came sealed and what I like is that Bose added in the box a HDMI cable, and an optical cable for the users that have an old TV model without HDMI.
In regards to the A.I. Dialogue Mode I personally didn't notice a huge improvement if its on or off doesn't make much difference.
The bar comes with 6 full range transducers, including two custom-engineered upward firing dipole speakers and a center tweeter.
You can play music via Bluetooth or Spotify connect (built in) and use voice commands with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
In the box also has a small remote control however it doesn't look premium, lacking of many options. On the other hand I notice a software bug. The Bose app has an option for the bar to go to standby after 20 mins. If that option is enabled switches your TV off too when the Bar goes to sleep. Also, there is a know issue with the HDMI CEC as in the app are 5+ options to test where if you turn on your TV the bar won't turn on. I noticed a couple of users are complaining and have tested on mine and the option 3 worked fine with my 2024 OLED TV however its intermittent.
Overall, I do recommend the bar, its sleek, nice design with glass on top, the sound for its shape its immersive, and lets hope Bose will release a new Sub soon!
