Ummm, yeah,... this thing…

I've had different surround systems over the years and really appreciate good, immersive audio. The one thing I haven't really appreciated is the bulky reality of multiple large speakers all around the room that, while delivering great sound, can also be eyesores in the interior design. Hence the search for a higher-end soundbar that could be low profile so it blends with the decor, while still offering top-notch audio features, especially one of the modern pinnacles of sound tech, Dolby Atmos.
Bose has always been at the top of my list and this new soundbar certainly keeps the brand at the top in my book! The sound is simply amazing, and all put together in an eye-pleasing, low-profile form factor that accents other audio-video pieces, but doesn't take over with box-like "trip hazards" in a small-space, home-theater room.
Key benefits that I wanted in a soundbar and how the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar delivered:
• Immersive audio in a low-profile package: The Bose Smart Ultra really came through here. Its TrueSpace tech creates the multi-channel experience even more than others I've compared with multiple satellite speakers! I do plan on adding the Bose Base unit and may add the Bose rear speakers to this system for even more surround sound (I really like the low-profile design of the rear speakers!)
• Dolby Atmos: This tech was a must-have in my search for a soundbar, and Bose checked that box for me from the get-go!
• Super easy connection: While I am kind of a techie and don't mind more complicated set-up, especially with high-end, quality tech enhancements, I really liked that this Bose soundbar was really easy to set up and get to the reason I wanted higher-quality sound to begin with: enjoying the home theater!
• Enhanced dialogue mode: Because a lot of cinematographers are mixing sound differently these days to take advantage of the immersive sound systems available, both for cinema and home-theater environments, without a sound system with a feature like Bose's A.I. Dialogue mode, words (and story) can get lost amongst the other robust sound design of a movie or show. Dolby Atmos helps define the dialogue for sure, and Bose's A.I. Dialogue Mode helps to define voices so that the dialogue is more discernible (and I don't have to turn on the annoying subtitles)!
I definitely recommend this soundbar and will be telling more than a few friends!
