Bose Lifestyle 600 Entertainment System Review and Demonstration

[@zahiralibhai8444]

I have the 600 with 2 subs and two extra rears and it’s extremely powerful fills 25ft x 14ft room with ease at 40% volume the 650 sounds a lot thinner the drivers in the cube speakers are bigger . I have a monitor audio system with a denon amp with two Rel subs costing around £8,000 and this system gives it a run for it’s money . Hope this helps any potential buyers .

On playing DOLBY VISION, my UHD, and Blu-ray players, all have two HDMI Out. 1. i connected my newest HDMI cable (doesn't have to be really expensive) to HDMI Out No.2(or Sound Only) to the Lifestyle 650. 2. On HDMI out number 1(or Main)for Picture (Video)i connected the newest HDMI Cable directly to the HDMI input on my Television (bypass Bose). Yes , you can have DOLBY VISION on Lifestyle 600 or 650, just use Bose for sound only.

Does this model offer eArc or ARC I only see OUT to TV

[@devoncavan6502]

Are the speakers wireless on the lifestyle600?

[@UnderTheIvvy]

Hi, any opinion about LS 550 ?

[@bjornterhorst6897]

Right now I have the lifestyle 535 and before that the Bose 700 soundbar I have second thoughts of going back I love the audio separation of it but the 700 had the phase guide what gives you an atmosish feeling that the my 535 does not have, does the 600 or 650 has phase guide ? For some height feeling ? Perhaps then I will switch to the 600 or 650

[@UnderTheIvvy]

How would you compare bose soundbar 700 + sub with LifeStyle 550 ? Is it worth money ? I had to return soundbar 700 as it soundsnot good if you listenening music. You have feeling like all sound comes from one central speaker except bass.

[@398bb]

hello, use your product on good day I use the same. I am very menu. How do we get back to factory settings? thank you...

I have a BOSE Lifestyle 48 Home Theater purchased 8 years ago which works perfectly fine. Such BOSE home theater is also a CD and DVD player and it was connected to an old Samsung TV through RCA ports. The BOSE does not have HDMI ports…only RCA I just purchased a new Samsung QLED 4K TV and wish to connect the same BOSE to it, but such TV only has HDMI ports and not RCA I highly appreciate to receive your advice about the best way to connect the BOSE to the new Samsung 4K TV and be able to watch my DVD’s on this new Samsung 4K TV I was told needed to use an RCA to HDMI converter, which I just hooked up. Inserted a DVD in the BOSE console, but just getting a blue screen on my TV I tried to connect the HDMI cable in all different HDMI ports on the TV and same thing...just getting a blue screen Honestly, I do not want to get rid of this old BOSE Home Theater which has an amazing sound. Thanks in advance and waiting for your kind advice.

[@Rich3119]

Hi Frank, can you do a video which more focusses on the wiring for both the 600 & 650 - specifically the connections (bare wire or Bose connectors) showing both ends ? The reason I ask is because I have an old lifestyle V35 system currently and I have speaker wires already channelled into my walls which I would like to utilise if I can - what are my options ?

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

Hi Rich! It's something i can put forward to our team who record the videos, but it's unlikely something they'd be able to do unfortunately. If you drop our sales team a call on 02476 631 707, they might be able to assist you a little or give you a few tips/suggestions on what you can do with the wiring, if there's anything else you need help with just let me know! Thanks, Luke

[@Rich3119]

Awesome - i'll call ... thanks for the reply

[@kamarmusicbose1800]

Great Review 👍😊. Will this can be connected to my computer ?. I tried HDMI ports on the computer but nothing worked..😟

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

Thank you! I believe so, though i've never tested it myself. I did however take a look at the Bose Lifestyle 600 webpage and scrolled to the bottom where the videos are and there is a video to connect it to your PC or MAC called "Set up using a Mac or PC" www.bose.co.uk/en_gb/support/products/soundtouch_systems_support/lifestyle-600-home-theater-system.html

[@nicolasbarzalona]

can you add a soundbar type bose lifestyle on to this systeme ?

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

You should be able to add a Bose Soundbar to this system. Feel free to drop us a call on 02476 631 707 and our sales team will give you a hand! :)

[@deande04]

Can I have multiple satellite speakers and put them in other rooms like this is 5.1 so can i buy more satellite speakers and put them in different rooms and have them all synced all together ? I am from New Delhi, India, so if you could also suggest me a store and if anyone can assist me on this ?

[@ronedwards8239]

You can buy WiFi enabled speakers from Bose that will play through the SoundTouch system.

[@91DivineAngel]

hey i plan to buy the 600 or the 650. I find the 650 sonically more open but also thinner, especially with music, could you compare both directly?

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

Hi, this is a unit we are likely to get out in the near future. Once we have we can definitely see about doing a video demonstration on the LifeStyle 650 in addition to this.

[@91DivineAngel]

Frank Harvey Hi Fi Excellence that would be nice thanks:)

[@ronedwards8239]

The 650 is just better all around. Higher frequency response and more open for sure. The unit sounds best with the SoundTouch app or KZbin if you are listening to music. External sources parched into the unit don’t sound as good. For movies this system is just amazing.

[@gaurisharma2646]

hi , dear i m having bose life style 600 , but my remote is not functioning . even no body is respond from bose company . very disguisting

[@marivelolivo2433]

How do I convert from a Lifestyle 2835 System to a Lifestyle 600? I'm stuck.

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

If you drop us a call On: 02476 631 707 our sales team may be able to give you a hand! You can also drop us an email [e-mail]

[@ronedwards8239]

You can’t.

[@hamitcampos4989]

cool. Ah so as the HDMI ports support HDR10 I guess they are HDMI 2.0A at least. Good to know.

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

Indeed it does!

[@sandeepganti8204]

Hi dear what's the price....

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

[@gaurisharma2646]

[@pramod4job]

Are the speakers connected by WIRES or WIRELESS?

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

The speakers are wireless

[@michaelgilmen66]

wow great review.... is there any thing else worth noting

[@ronedwards8239]

Yes the 650 is a lot better. The center channel is awesome for dialogue. And the system is clearer with more detail and high frequency response.

[@andrewtomlinson9995]

Great review 😊

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

Thank you, Andrew!

[@pmtz2005]

Does this have arc?

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

Indeed it does have HDMI arc.

[@gracefulriding288]

Thanks for the review, i am looking at buying the LifeStyle 600. Do you know if this system is compatible with a games console? Would i still be able to use the speakers if i plug my Xbox straight into the TV.

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

No problem! You should be able to use it with a games console though your TV but sadly it's not something we have tried - it may be worth asking around just incase, but i don't see why it wouldn't work. :)

[@mjb2145]

I find this Bose system "shit" i tried calling Bose to assist with problems and they cannot help. The system alternates between the HDMI ports automatically and often does not recognize the input. I have a simple setup, DVD and Direct TV. The Samsung TV works however when I select Direct TV and pass it through the Bose I get picture but no sound. Its obvious Bose is not customer centric. Perhaps you can assist. Thanking you, Michael.

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

Hi Micheal, our sales team would be more than happy to give you a hand with that, drop them a call on 02476 525 200 and explain the issues you are having and i'm sure they can help you out and hopefully get your system up and running without any issues :)

[@stevenoconnor5693]

Not bad. Too pricey for what it offers in my opinion

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

The price is mostly justified in how it performs :) It's a decent little package.

[@winfield347]

@@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey it's shit.

[@yessirtq3312]

Bose does not care after you pay, my unit cost usd5k in 2015. When contacted all Bose did saying they will release an upgrade soon, which does not make sense as issues has been going on for more than 10 month. Sound familiar, another way of giving excuses after excuses. Personally I regret buying, Bose does care!!!

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

Did you contact the retailer you purchased it from? If you have any problems they should be able to sort it if it's under guatantee, most Bose products are covered for 24 months by the manufacturer and if any faults with the system are found within that time they should look at your unit and replace it if needed.

[@gonzalo7864]

I’m wetting for bose at most 😁

[@HifixCoUkFrankHarvey]

Bose certainly has a fantastic range of speakers!

[@scottiedog4236]

Brill update mate

[@ronedwards8239]

The 650 is better. Owned and tested them both.

[@Blinkpower11]

I LOVE BASS!!!!!!!!!
