" ... I knew I was ditching the Dolby Atmos and 5/7 channel sound streams to give a true surround sound when I thought of buying the Soundbar 700, but man does Bose offer some precise acoustic engineering to this piece of hardware. ... The equipment works on the stereo sound of 2 channels only, but the Bose Phaseguide technology gives a simulation of surround effect imitating sounds emission from multiple directions. ... The Bass is okayish, good enough for a soundbar and good enough to be played in an apartment :) The Bass module definitely would add a lot more depth to the sound but I dont think thats needed and neither would my family be pleased with the extra bass if you knw what i mean :D ...

" ... Jst buy it no one can catch it's sound effects no JbL & Sony can keep it much better option if u but the sound module 500 along with it for powerful punch deep woofer effect ... "
" ... The woofer and back speaker need to be purchased separately. ... "

" ... I was looking for a sound bar for my room . ... I already have Bose lifestyle system which is old now for todays technology , so I had some idea about the sound Bose is capable of making . ... y is decided to go for this soundbar while chosing between Bose 500 , sound touch 3 . ... well getting along I started by playing some deep bass instrumental music and frankly I was not disappointed at all . ... it was clear good sound . ... the application lets you control bass / treble n centre channel for vocals which I found to be very good . ... the application was smooth in performing all the tasks as well . ... If u r looking to but something for your personal use and dont want to spend a lot by going to high ended branded speakers then look no further . ... bose is very good if not the best . ... Goodluck Happy Listening. ... "

" ... I was patiently heard but what appalled me was that, I was told this is a hardware error (which I was beginning to conclude anyway) and was asked to call the local Bose support (thereby indicating a repair job) on a 79K worth of sound equipment, (which by the way is already costing you about 22K more than it would in the US as per today’s spot rate) not even a month old! ...

" ... Inspite of saying it's a wireless speaker integrated with Alexa, if you open Amazon music or even Google play music app or any other music player you cannot cast music to the Bose soundbar 500. ... "
