PHENOMENAL SOUND AND EASY…

The Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar is compact and beautifully built and finished.
Let me tell you, setup was so simple - a single cable!
There is remote control that covers the basics, including powering the bar on and off, adjusting the volume, playing and pausing content and selecting your input.
After the soundbar is in position and connected to the TV with power, opening the ‘Bose Music’ control app (free for iOS and Android) gives comprehensive control of the Smart Ultra and puts you in charge of the Adaptiq automatic room calibration system.
Smart Ultra is compatible with Amazon Alexa and works with Google Assistant if the appropriate smart speaker is on a common network. I didn’t explore integrating the other Bose speakers, but it is possible. There’s a touch control on the top surface of the soundbar if you want to override the integrated mic. If you leave them enabled, it’s quick and reliable to get what you want from the Bose simply just asking. Apple AirPlay 2 is available and Chromecast is built in. To use the voice feature, you don’t have to toggle.
The system essentially calibrates itself to your environment quickly and accurately, and has plenty of well-realized control options. When it comes to sound quality, Immediately, the sound is very clear and reasonably balanced. We are audiophiles (music room in home) and while dialogue enhancement and bass adjustment features are both available, I didn’t need to use right away. I believe this is due to the TrueSpace feature.
It was hard to believe that such dynamic sound, but I’ve had the Bose CD systems for years, the spatial audio that comes from the bar is impressive. I didn’t notice significant difference in space and height, which was a concern initially after reading other reviews.
You can utilize HDMI, ARC, and wireless Bluetooth connections.
Be prepared to have everything you watch feel like you’re in an enhanced movie type of setting, from the News to Netflix and Hulu and Prime Video.
Btw, one of my kids was home from school and played his game with the sound bar on, I was absolutely and thoroughly entrenched with the effects and he was thoroughly surprised I had interest, lol. It was the Bose.
The unit comes at a reasonable price especially considering it feels like you’re on a quality soundstage.
The package was delivered to my office (due to signature requirement) and I was able to carry it to my car and it fit on the backseat.
Also, as a 5’5” person, set up was easy.
