Bose Smart Soundbar

Wide sound canvas considering its size ; Good sense of power for the space-limited ; Solid range of wireless features

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.

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.

Wide soundstage for its small size, low latency, lots of wireless connectivity, retains dynamics well

Lack of a subwoofer limits bass extension, no dts support, no hdmi in, no room calibration
