Is Ai THE FUTURE of Audio? Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar Review

[@kingkobra1956]

Excellent straight forward honest review. I have the 900 and have never had issues hearing dialogue so there isn't any need to purchase the Ultra. Bose definitely needs to release an excellent pair of upward firing rear speakers and why they have not as of yet is beyond my comprehension.

[@shaq6772]

Did u consider the Sony a7000 as well when buying bose ?

[@sinisakalicanec6823]

I just bought a Bosse 900 and a subwoofer 700 all together for 1,150 EUR in Germany. No one can beat that price either in terms of quality or price. 🥳

[@timdefrank3641]

The rears are solid if you calibrate them with a towel over them they’ll get loud

[@garretts431]

Two tube socks on each surround did the trick for me

[@itsdtxjd]

I had them and they worked like any other surround speakers. But I realized that the soundbar alone did the same job as the rear speakers. I barely noticed a difference using the surround speakers and the soundbar alone. The soundbar is like magic it feels like it created a little sound bubble around you. It’s amazing

[@JopieHaargel]

Who wants to bet that "AI" mode is just boosting specific frequencies on the center channel to achieve clearer dialogue, much like AVRs from Denon and Marantz have been doing for years now? AI has become the latest hype word for marketing departments.

[@ev4657]

100% nailed it.

[@garretts431]

Who cares? If it works it works.

[@michael-4k4000]

Ya mean it's not doing billions of calculations to make my listening experience better?

[@BagheeraRaceGamer]

Sorry to leave here at 1:38, but I just wanted to know if this update featured DTS-X. So... thanks.

[@oliverstemp9132]

Bose said they’d be no more confusing names, then come up with ‘Smart Ultra’ 😂 . It seems to be a decent product from Bose. I still really like the design.

[@TheJustina102085]

Drives me crazy how many movie minded soundbars with upfiring atmos channels etc. don’t have DTS. I would like to try the Bose, but it’s automatic DQ if it doesn’t have 4K passthrough or DTS support…

[@markkeane6843]

I don't see the purpose of the 4k 120hz pass through when all the good tvs nowadays have multiple hdmi 2.1 ports and hdmi earc port

[@miltona891]

I have the original 900 with everything and I dont know what your looking for but when you’re watching movies and ppl knock on doors and stuff like that. It feels and sounds like somebody is really knocking on your door. That’s how good it is.

[@garretts431]

Dts is for discs. If youre a disc junky then sure. Only thing that MAY sway sonos and bose to get DTSX/HD is when disney implements DTS imax sound

[@THEDEVILEYES1]

The ultra soundbar does play DTS audio (converted to raw LPCM audio) via a blu ray player. The LPCM is the uncompressed DTS audio and it sounds great. The Dolby Atmos also sounds amazing when paired with the Bass 700 unit and Bose surround speakers.

[@bramowicz1]

I recommend Soundbar PHILIPS FIDELIO TAFB1-10 It plays everything. Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, DTS, DTS-HD, DTS-HD MA, DTS:X, . The only thing missing is Auro 3D. That's why I chose it. With a dedicated subwoofer, it's as powerful as Bose

[@JeremySwank]

How does the ultra AI dialogue compare to the dialogue mode with the 900? Is it worth the upgrade?

[@garretts431]

I know the biggest update to the bar he doesnt even discuss it lmao

[@ahwhite2022]

Does anyone know if the Big Brother Alexa/Google microphone can be turned off?

[@chihanlee512]

do people use this sound bar for PC? or any recommendation

[@harlyluv]

Why is no 4k pass through a con? Isn't the video directed directly to the TV? Doesn't the arc input transfer the sound? thanks!

[@itsdtxjd]

It does lol I have it and have an Apple TV and a ps5 no issues sounds amazing

[@teedup-81]

Has anyone purchased this and the Sonos arc and compared in the same living space?

[@keyoke]

Changed from arc to smart ultra. 1. I prefers the slimmer profile of bose compared to Sonos 2. Sound stage is slightly wider on Sonos but lack of bass compared to bose. Not sure about arc ultra though 3. Vocals are way better on Bose. I find Sonos a bit muddy though 4. I find Sonos is still slightly etter with dedicated sideway firing speakers 5. Bose bass module 700 totally trumph Sonos Sub. I love the window rattling bass, good for movies

[@MyJeffrey1970]

On sale now $799 , Best Buy just refunded me 100 bucks because I paid $899 earlier this month.

[@blastu2fool]

I bought the ultra-bar the other day, open box excellent condition for 654, Best buy. it's crazy I got it that low when I was just looking at it brand new for damn near 1000 smh... I have the 700 sub and rear surround speakers as well, so everything connected well

[@jamesh3185]

Dialogue on my 900 is already very clear. Not sure how it can be improved without negativity impacting the overall sound. I’d also be concerned about music colouration, or is it smart enough to know not to mess with it?

[@garretts431]

Yes. News and sports though its not great for. It’s really for movies and series.

[@bramowicz1]

What is the output power of Bose Smart Ultra?

[@YoutubeSalvatrucha]

sennheiser ambeo plus or bose smart ultra. which one u would choose and why if u had only one decision.

[@garretts431]

Bose because you can add a whole system. The bose is right on par with the ambeo plus. However if you are looking solely on a single bar, then ambeo. Ambeo does get a little louder. I own both.

[@YoutubeSalvatrucha]

@@garretts431 And if Sennheiser releases rear speakers then who will be the winner? So as I understand it, Ambeo is superior to Bose as a single bar, right?

[@garretts431]

@@KZbinSalvatrucha surrounds have been discussed by consumers since the plus released. Sennheiser themselves have never hinted at surrounds. It also defeats the purpose of the ambeo marketing as an “all in one” solution. The ambeo, with surrounds, would pretty much beat every soundbar system out there. Competition would definitely be something companies would feel. Yes the ambeo does beat the bose as a single bar for sure. Sennheisers wizardry tech inside is what makes it unique. However, it still has shortcomings

[@DavySpensx]

We are thinking about a soundbar without a subwoofer. Whats your top 3?

[@Kids2016]

I just bought Bose Soundbar smart Ultra with subwoofer 700 it blown my mind with the extream best quality of the sound, bose is bose.

[@demetrielenis40]

Do you have to use the bose remote or will it work with your cable remote to adjust the sound

[@Elementpunx]

Can you hand it under ZTV or ots better if its on a shelf under TV like on video here?

[@radiofan98]

According to different posts on the internet the Ultra has a 5.1.2 setup whilst the 900 is 5.0.2. Are they any differences in terms of bass?

[@johnlocke5108]

I'm thinking of buying a soundbar, but I can't decide between Sennheiser Ambeo Plus or mini or Bose smart ultra soundbar. As someone who has experienced both, which one do you think is better? Note: I care about detail in sound. Also which one has better music performance. Thank you very much.

[@smarthomesounds]

We would recommend the Ambeo plus for your needs, its detail is class leading and performs very well with music too. Hopefully there will be some good Black Friday deals too 🤝

[@johnlocke5108]

Thank you very much.

[@NintenPizza]

@@smarthomesounds Any idea if Sennheiser plans on releasing rear speakers for the Ambeo Plus?

[@lcdcac]

Can anyone tell me if the Smart Ultra is worth the $200 extra over the 900? I have the 600 (LOVE IT) and would like to move that to my bedroom. It would be paired with the Bass Module 500 until I get the 700 and move the 500 to the bedroom as well.

[@NMEofdaST8]

get the 900 AI dialogue not worth it. and Bluetooth difference doesn't mater because i stream on wifi for music casting

[@va4996]

Can this be useful for a dedicated HOMETHEATRE projector and 150” screens?

[@thesahilarte]

So they updated the soundbar 900, but couldn't update the worst rears available for a soundbar, i or the old sub 700. Hmm.

[@gilberto7295]

I’ve been have trouble finding a good sound been thru a couple the lastest is a Jbl bar 1000 and if garage any ideas on a good one. Bose has a sale of bar 900 and module 700 for about $1300 any recommendations

[@steveford9942]

Will this work with a Bose lifestyle 650 system?

[@hdrones6697]

I have the SoundTouch 300 bar from almost ten years ago and this doesn’t seem that much different 😅

[@konstantinoskarathanasiou8915]

I need your help guys..I want you to suggest me the top 3 speakers under 300 because I'm really confused of all the reviews

[@JarekSkrzypek]

Hey, what do you think about Philips Fidelio TAFB1? It's also can be use as a standalone soundar. Has DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced. I think can be a really big gamechanger in competitions but there are to little tests and comparisons. Maybe it's the best soundbar compare to BOSE 900, Sonos Arc... soundbars without sub.

[@tctterry]

This guy owns the Philip TAFB1 and Samsung q990C. You can ask him about his review. www.youtube.com/@paulhammer6822/videos

[@jonathantylersewell1]

would you say bose or sonos ? which would you say is best ? set vs set ?

[@czarkids6207]

Bose for voice clarity, arc for surround and music

[@michaltokarski9526]

is it worth to upgrade from ST300 ?

[@royceyraa]

I just sold my ST300 to a friend and got the 900. Had it 2 days and it bricked during a firmware update. It’s gone back to Bose who are replacing it with an Ultra. Honest opinions after 2 days of use, it felt about the same as the 300 😅

[@MrJroc04si]

Do you think the bose ultra + sub 700 competes with the arc + sub gen 3?

[@rippleyunicorn7321]

sub 700 and bose ultra was a nightmare had to return it. wouldn't connect, popping and cracking sounds from bass..just youtube bose bass cracking sounds

[@seanabel8608]

The bose smart ultra sound bar, is it compatible with TCL tvs?

[@francessantiago9192]

Yes, it is compatible. I'm running a 65" TCL TV with an Ultra soundbar, 700 surround and 700 sub. It looks and sounds incredible.

[@tantoemoeilijk]

Is it just me or do more people think the soundbar 700 sounds better? I wanted to replace my 700 for this one but after hearing it, i find the 700 to have better sound 🤔

[@LightVibes]

I have the 700 as well and I’m also curious about upgrading. I heard the 700 can play louder than the 900, which might make it better for music. The 900 has the atmos feature which makes it appealing. I’m torn

[@KamalaStinks]

I have the 700 in family room and 900 in theater room....900 is much better in my opinion.

[@konstantinoskarathanasiou8915]

Can you make a test review between jbl authentic and marshall acton iii?

[@KevinTheBadCamper]

The built in Chromecast is just for playing Musik on the Soundbar if i got it right

[@michael-4k4000]

Love you're videos

[@75KUAKKU]

Can’t understand why Bose make different remote controls and make it so confusing.. for example I had the 700 was a long remote control, nice. but useless.. I end up buying the 900 and the remote control is super cool.

[@kenet-1563]

Hi, I want to buy it for music only, is it good idea?

[@highsoflyify]

Not really. There are way better Systems for less money. Music is not the main focus for this soundbar. It's way better for movies

[@abdalrhmanhodefa7804]

It's good but it's expensive and No Signal reception of DTS 😮

[@michael-4k4000]

Have had a Bose LS650 with 2 subwoofers. The subs are not good, there not bad, but you can do so much better buying an SVS 12" 300 watt sub for less money and get more, so much more.

[@txboy2548]

Bose needs to have the dtx software

What finish do you recommend that is not going to collect dust? DUH !!!!???

Who in the right mind is going to buy this? Bose dropping the ball one again

[@clinteastwood8222]

Bose smart ultra what’s next Bose 15 Pro Max??

[@schizt121]

After owning this for three months, its clear this product is an absolute failure by Bose. Tech in this is garbage, connection always drops with smart tv and firmware can never update successfully, ether manually or automatically. You need to call customer support and be prepared for a long chat as they need to backdoor IP into your product to push the firmware update. When this sound bar does work, the sound is OK at best. this product is garbage for the price! AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS!

[@schizt121]

@@attilab.2818 absolutely

[@lins9534]

Sound from Samsung 990C far superior and cheaper with the included woofer and rears. And looks better. Hate the glass

[@masonpodgradusom]

Bose 900 or Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3 ?

[@smarthomesounds]

Bose 900. Better soundbar, and more flexibility to add a sub & surrounds.

[@masonpodgradusom]

@@smarthomesounds So agree. Thank you !
