Bose Soundbar 600 - Upward firing speakers for less than USD500

[@mel-bern6777]

Fantastic review and am now patiently awaiting your Beam 2 v Bose 600 showdown to make my purchase (just like many others here!). Please include a standalone soundbar testing and also a soundbar + subwoofer winner. No other reviewers have done this comparison yet and this may hopefully add extra subscribers to your awesome channel!

[@marcofranco6974]

Standalone bar Bose wins Surrounds Sonos wins Subwoofer (gen 3) sonos wins Whole 5.1 setup sonos wins

[@pashok75]

Hi Pete. I played using airplay 2 with sonos arc 5.1.2 / Devialet Phantom silver stereo speakers. Slightly increased the volume up is phantom for the thumping bass and increase the treble in sonos Sound is perfectly synchronized and the sound separation is mind blowing!!! Definitely you need to try it !!!

[@PeterPee]

Oh! And I have both systems! Sounds like a video idea!

[@hawcubites]

Great review, it helped me make my choice, Bose 600 it is, thank you Peter.

[@arkinsam7733]

i got the bose 600 today. i am happy with the crisp clear sound but the bass is definitely missing. my living room is only 350 sq ft but cannot feel the bass. i am not a bass addict ok but its really not there at all. you need a bose module 500, its a must. i think i will keep it. at least i am happy with the clarity not the muffled voice from bass powered jbl or sony with same price range.

[@adamphillips6747]

Just got my 900 and it’s absolutely amazing.

[@OnyxKami]

Great video. Recently bought the 900. But I was thinking about a 600 for the office.

[@PS0212]

I thought you were going to make a detailed review of the Bose 600 and give us the best settings. Also said you were going to compare it to the Sonos Beam Gen 2

[@jairenstewal]

Wow, how come I just found out this video, it’s a really great review, anyhow, any chance you will cover the new iteration of Bose Smart Soundbar with AI Dialogue? How is the difference between this new product feature versus the Dialogue Boost from this 600?

[@Antoon-sf9yi]

I have a question for Mr technical. The Sonos beam for example support Dolby Atmos, but doesn’t have upward firing speakers what is important for the effect. The Yamaha 109 doesn’t support Dolby Atmos, but has DTSX upward firing speakers (you can even lift the back a little up for a better surround effect). So I was wondering if you play Dolby Atmos to both soundbars what gives the best Dolby Atmos experience/ result? I’m aware the Yamaha can’t decode Dolby Atmos, but you still hear a surround effect with upward firing speakers. What are your thoughts on this?

[@Jut1911]

Would be nice for you to review the soundbar 900 and bass module 700

[@PeterPee]

A bit expensive for me to buy them now! I plowed my video earnings into the studio renovation. My wife is going to kill me if I buy another setup now.

[@CastIronEric]

I choose between this one and the Beam 2.

[@rdcal]

Waiting for the comparison with sonos beam gen 2 with frequency response

[@pradeepkumar2112]

Love your review of Bose 600...waiting for the detailed review..

[@PeterPee]

Thanks! I am quite overwhelmed with work and some reno work as well as some other videos at the moment. Please wait out!

[@allenletizia321]

I have a 75inch Samsung large room has a cathedral ceiling large room . I do have 600 speakers and subwoofer . which sound bar would work best ? What Hight adjustment set at on cathedral ceiling ?

[@treverwilliams8711]

Are you still going to make a comparison video with the beam gen 2?

[@kevinc9251]

Amazing well detailed video

[@nephilim2051]

Thank you for review. Could you please compare the soundtouch 300 and the Bose 600 soundbars? I have the 300, and the surrounds and BM700, am wondering if upgrading to the 600 will improve the spaciousness and the height sounds. Thanks!

[@andrewlukinsmusic]

Hi Peter, great review of the Bose soundbar 600, I’ve just purchased one! Do you have any favourite audio settings you can recommend please?

[@ankitk22]

Yamaha YAS 209 or Bose 600 or Sonos beam gen2. Which is a better buy ?

[@monlegaspi]

I'm on the fence of buying this smart 600 and sell the soundtouch 300. Please help!

[@anthonysinagra7167]

Is it ok to mount the Bose 600 under the tv mount?

[@ericwallace1452]

How do you think the immersiveness compares to the klipsch cinema 800 3.1. It is missing the height speakers but comes with a sub...specifically talking to movies, not music.

[@robertm8518]

Really informative and detailed review. Thank you!

[@xmartin86x]

researching and holding up on a sound bar purchase 😅 now it boils down to bose600 + bass500 (optional) or the sonos beam gen2 + sub mini (optional). read n viewed a lot of reviews on the bass output for the bars alone, sonos beam does it better. But if get a set, the bose is relatively cheaper But if you were to choose, which you prefer? sonos or bose 🤔

[@dennislouis6069]

Sonos is significantly better, both as a standalone and paired with the sub

[@pearlygates12]

Why sonos doesnt utilize bluetooth feature smh

[@nikhil42142]

Brother which one is better for vocal and movie experience and bass, bose 500 or bose 600.. i am confused.. can you help me out.. now they are almost same price..

[@jonwan3752]

Thank you. I bought it because of your review

[@PeterPee]

I hope you are enjoying it! It's actually very good value for the money!

[@TobiasWendel]

Will it be possible to use a sub from a different brand? Consideringe that there is a port for a wired sub in the back of the bar. Thanks for a great review!

[@stevendavies7351]

What should I have the sound setting set to please.

[@mnj6057]

Do you face any connectivity issues with this bar ?

[@jayxpea]

Fantastic Video exactly what i was looking for

[@PeterPee]

Thanks!

[@rokuroku5872]

How does this sound bar sound with regular 5.1 channel audio. Most content online are not atmos compatible. What do upward firing woofers do with 5.1 sound input.

[@testus86]

i really do not understand why there is no adaptIQ

[@monijaiswal39]

Which tv buying for dolby atmos support

[@MrFurby16]

I would also like to see the difference between a Bose vs arc

[@PeterPee]

At some point in time!

[@adithyamuluk]

Hi Pete, I'm trying to connect to a yamaha subwoofer using an aux to rca cable from the bass output port on the back of my Bose 600 soundbar. But no bass is transmitting. Please help?

[@Ares-vh8cm]

I am considering this for a pc setup: bose 600 + bass module 500 or the sonos beam gen 2 + sub mini. Gaming, music and movies would be used. Of the two which is more recommended? Would trueplay from the Sonos be able to be used to improve sound quality during setup (assuming I understand everything) or is bose truespace better?

[@ryusm92]

Thank you for a review! What are you thoughts on using this as a desktop speaker? I'm currently using LG C2 42" as my monitor and would love to upgrade and get a quality sound upgrade. While I think Bose 600 is a great sounbar I am not sure how good it will be when I'm sitting very close to it.

[@kevinhamer2230]

in my semi sleeper bunkI have the 42-in LG C2, Bose 600 mounted underneath TV and the Bose 500 sub under the bed and it is awesome. I'm about 5 ft away in a small enclosure And I wouldn't change.

[@ArsenalMick.]

Please can you do a video on the best sound settings for the Bose 600 like you did with the Sonos Beam gen 2 please as this would be very helpful thanks 🙏

[@PeterPee]

Great idea. Now that I have more of these to play around with, I will need to set aside time to do them!

[@Sam-Retina]

Best review!

[@55MS55]

Does the upward speakers only work with earc?

[@PeterPee]

No actually. So the upward firing speakers actually can do an upmix.

[@vincentbslaw]

How is this compared to Sony hta5000? Especially in the bass department as a standalone soundbar.

[@PeterPee]

Sound wise, the HTA-5000 is going to sound better and louder, more spacious and bigger. But we are comparing across price brackets though.

[@jaysantiago-BX-NY]

Great comparison! 👏👏👍🏼 Would I be able to add the 600 to my setup? I have a Klipsch R-100SW sub(via optical cable to my Denon amp) and LG C1🤷🏽‍♂️

[@PeterPee]

You can't pair the Klipsch sub to the Bose Soundbar 600 unfortunately.

[@heartrobz]

Am trying to figure how to connect this to my LG TV and split the sound to my Denon HT setup. Will the Orei extractor help?

[@PeterPee]

There is another OREI device that can possibly do it but the problem is that the HDA-939 cannot output to the soundbar using HDMI ARC, I am still trying to figure it out.

[@richoneill5619]

Hi Pete, Will the Bose QC II Earbuds work with the Bose 600?

[@PeterPee]

I haven't tested the QC2 but I did test it with the QC45. And it works if a little soft.

[@bobdickinson4564]

Peter, Is the Bose 600 better than my Sonos beam gen 2 for TV dialogue?

[@PeterPee]

I'd put the both of them on par for dialogue.

[@hadoukenocx4746]

Peter if you want to hear the Bose Magic you had to Test it with the Rain drop demo it's mind boggling how good it is for me, it's an old magic trick for new Bose user it's magic :>

[@PeterPee]

Oh! Let me source that out.

[@keetvhdlimited962]

is this better than the yamaha soundbar?

[@Rigue2021]

It’s it better than the Sonos Arc.

[@PeterPee]

Tough question to get a definite answer. Surround wise, the Sonos Arc does better. But you have to really note that the price difference is quite substantial. This is more of a Sonos Beam Gen 2 comparison.

[@worldsmart02]

Will this Soundbar work with Sony TV

[@PeterPee]

Yes, as long as the Sony TV has at least HDMI ARC port.

[@kabysummit5801]

I love the Bose sound, but dislike the software

[@redclaw72666]

Need a better phone in order to use the app lol

[@PeterPee]

The app/software works... but it's basic. Doesn't do much but it allows adjustment of center channel!

[@philharrison2991]

I'd thought I'd take a dive into dolby atmos for the first time and got this. Very disappointed in the dolby atmos side of it. So I went back to my high-quality stereo speakers as they are superior. Dolby atmos marketing is over hyped.

[@Ghost-sz7uo]

if you had to pick between this or the beam gen 2, which one would you pick??

[@hadoukenocx4746]

I have the Sonos ARC + Sub and the Bose 900 + Sub I like more the Bose 900 + Sub The Bose 900 + Sub is more cinema than Sonos ARC + Sub but The Bose 900 + Sub has not all the Gimmicks That Sonos App and Product has. The Bose 900 + Sub is more for Cinema and not for music. I am hyped that you to have now a Bose Soundbar + - Sub :D 💪

[@TemujinScott80]

There are no gimmicks on the Sonos app Just access to streaming services, Sonos radio and settings

[@zureai]

Sonos no Bluetooth??

[@PeterPee]

Sonos no bluetooth, that's correct. I think I will like the bose 900 with sub but I can't afford that right now.

[@PeterPee]

I agree. The software and ecosystem is great for the Sonos!

[@Manc-fh5we]

I’m not going to stick foam panels to my living room walls dude 😂 You spent a suspiciously long time going on about them. Are you on commission? 😂

[@jimzeleny7213]

The 600 soundbar worked fine with my wired subwoofer. Unplugged the cable to clean behind the TV and the subwoofer volume "tab" on the Bose app and the subwoofer no longer functioned. There is NO WAY to contact Bose to speak to a rep to fix this problem. Bose customer service is the absolute WORST!

[@Nivlekzhau]

Peter question, Sonos beam 2 + One SL *2 + Sub mini vs Samsung Q990B, which one would be better for TV?

[@PeterPee]

I can't tell for very certain. I don't have the Samsung for testing. I have only demoed it in the store (a few times) and I can't do AB testing there.

[@Icipher4]

@@PeterPee would love to watch you review and provide thoughts around the premium Samsung Q-symphony systems.

[@veggieweggie3650]

I love that a large chunk of this review is about a sound absorption product haha, I guess there isn't enough actual decent engineering to talk about with the Bose? Paid for advertising channel? I've been installing AV for 20+ years and Bose is probably my least favourite brand of all time (other than the 'cheap n cheerful' Samsung/LG/Wharfdale/... etc consumer centric brands). Overpriced, sounds average, integrates terribly, useless software. I've taken out many many Bose systems in my time but never have I ever taken out a Sonos system. AND im not getting paid for this ;) True. Still love your channel though, great energy and enthusiasm, keep it up x

[@decentafghan9988]

It's not the review of bose soundbar 600 it's review of Arrowzoom....😂😄🤣😂😄🤣

[@PeterPee]

Haha... Well, I thought I could finish talking about it in 2 mins. ... but...

[@dirktenny6586]

So you can’t place the 600 under your tv🤔🤔
