Excellent sound quality. Have been a Bose fan for many years.
Pros: Easy setup. Good quality materials.
Cons: The universal remote doesn't work well with my TCL Roku TV. Tech support wasn't much help with this. However, my TV remote will control the power & volume control of the Bose soundbar.

RV Use
Crutchfield customer from Dickinson, TX on 6/20/2021
Purchased the Soundbar 700 and 500 sub for my RV. So much better the the what the RV manufacturer had. I've got to be careful not letting the sub get to loud and vibrate the neighboring RVs. Highly recommend.
Pros: It's Bose. You pay for the name, but I have not found any other manufacturer that comes close to the quality of sound.
Cons:

After downloading the App and connecting to the WIFI, the rest was self explanatory. I used the Headset to do the calibration. Had to make some manual adjustments on the sound bar and the Bass modules to get the sound that a enjoy. Very happy with the system.
Pros: Sounds great

Bose Soundbar 700
Crutchfield customer from Austin, TX on 4/22/2021
I've only had this sound bar a couple of weeks but it's performance is not what I expected. My expectations were based on prior reviews on this web site and others and the fact that I own a Bose Wave Radio and it has exceptional, full bodied sound. I therefore expected a more full bodied, robust sound from this sound bar but it just doesn't have it. It does, however, have good dialog clarity, especially in the voice enhancement mode. I've lost a lot of hearing and use hearing aids and I can understand much more dialog with and without my hearing aids with this sound bar than I could with my previous bar. I have a Samsung smart TV and I have the choice of Dolby Digital or DTS for sound. DTS is usually a fuller bodied sound, to me anyway but not with this sound bar. I have it hooked up via HDMI... So, the lack of a fuller spectrum of overall sound is definitely a disappointment.

Crutchfield customer from Niceville, FL on 1/27/2021
This soundbar is a revelation. I had expected superior sound quality from Bose but the sound-stage presented by this small speaker array is fabulous. Familiar music takes on a new dimension and (with the Bose 700 bass unit) film soundtracks come to life. I will invest in surround speakers as soon as available - on back order at the moment. Don't take to much notice of set-up difficulties reported by some. Download the manual from the Bose site and follow the instructions. All additional features seem to work well - bluetooth, Alexa and TV control via ARC, etc. Oh, and it looks great!
Pros: Sound stage capability Clarity of sound Build quality
Cons:

Bose 700 rocks!
Brett from Galesburg, MI on 1/27/2021
I love this sound bar! I've owned several over the years, and this is by far my favorite. It produces really nice effects, very clear voice, and I love the app interface. I was concerned about it not having video pass through, but as one who doesn't like to think a lot about setup, I found it very freeing to not have to concern myself with that connection and the associated settings.

Nice unit but documentation sucked...
Crutchfield customer from Lafayette, NY on 1/24/2021
I ordered the Bose Bar 700 and the Bose base 700. The packaging was great and the equipment looked flawless. The instructions for setting up the Bar seemed straight forward but there were a number of inaccuracies and took longer than expected. When it came to the Bass unit the instructions were not there. It took 2 days and 3 calls to support. The first person had no idea and then simply left the chat. The last person knew what needed to be done but none of the steps were anywhere in the documentation. To say the least I was disappointed...
Pros: Looks and sounds great.
Cons: Bose needs to clean up the documentation...

Impressive, simple, attractive sound bar system.
Crutchfield customer from Pickerington, OH on 12/30/2020
Once tuned for our challenging room acoustics, it is the best of previous sound bars used in the same location without a subwoofer and surround speakers. It sits on top of a six-foot tall entertainment cabinet and above the 43" tv inside of the cabinet that is located in a 19'x19' open room with only two solid walls and a 13' high ceiling. The Bose Soundbar 700 provides all the vocal clarity and rich sound spectrum with room-filling bass that I was hoping for. Good for watching live TV and sports, and great listening for streamed HD movies and HQ music.
Pros: Impressive sound spectrum Clean, attractive design Remote
Cons: None

Fills large living area
Crutchfield customer from Wichita, KS on 10/4/2020
My purpose for this bar was to replace a very effective 3.1 system to provide a more sleek look. I was concerned if it could match the audio performance of the system it was replacing, but it has proven to be extremely effective in a large living space. I tested it without the 700 subwoofer for a couple days, but it is definitely not worth the high price tag unless paired with the sub. The bass output uses proprietary signal so it will not work with third party wired sub.
Pros: Sleek look Nice depth with 700 sub Doubles as Sirius XM tuner via wi-fi
Cons: Wired bass output will not work with third party sub

Its Bose
Crutchfield customer from Daytona Beach, FL on 8/18/2020
I had a soundbar for about 8 years, One of the early Yamaha sound projectors. This year it quit working and this Bose 700 was my third attempt to replace it. I had 2 different Harmon Kardon sounders that sounded ok, but sporadic connection issues caused me to return each of them. So far the 700 has really impressed me. I also got the sub that connects without issue. The ap that controls both units is excellent, changing settings is easy to do. Ive had Bose speakers before, 301s, 501s, and 601s. This 700 system is up to the standard that I've experienced with those other products. I like the "in the room" feeling that this sound bar gives. The headset that programs it has you sit in 5 different spots in your room. That works fantastic. After 2 returns and 1 "restocking Fee" I finally found what I was looking for.

We purchased the Bose 700 soundbar and the subwoofer. We never could get the Bose to connect to our tv and the Bose software is still not done updating and installing 6 hours later! Extremely disappointed with this Bose system.

Will not play on a group with ECHO (no music everywhere - beware)
Christina from Phoenix on 5/20/2020
Sound is good. I purchased this for my husband for his birthday along with the Bass module. It works well with our Samsung TV (just 1 HDMI ARC input, no eARC input). The alexa function works. However, and this is a BIG BUT, DOES NOT SUPPORT PLAYING MUSIC on the EVERYWHERE GROUP. So, you buy this nice soundbar and subwoofer, advertised with Alexa Built In and you CANNOT play on bose and echo speakers at the same time. You cannot add this speaker to an EVERYWHERE group, or any group for that matter. There are multiple threads on Bose complaining about this. There is no work around because there is no AUX input, and no ability to work around it by pairing with bluetooth to an echo speaker either. :( Bose did a misleading software update, that will allow you to add it to a group, but will not allow the group to play on both bose and echo devices at the same time. Bose refuses to fix this. Be sure that this is not a deal breaker before you buy. It is a BOSE software issue. #Greed. I have owned several Bose products over the years. This will be the last one I purchase. Shame on them. Crutchfield is a great company and this is no reflection on them.
Pros: Good sound Relatively easy setup
Cons: Poor functionality with regard to whole home integration - misleading Expensive

Bose Soundbar 700
Crutchfield customer from Voorhees, NJ on 5/8/2020
When the soundbar is working, it is great. I'm not an audiophile, I just wanted something for a man cave environment. The room is 16 x 35, and I was worried it wouldn't be loud enough, I was wrong. It completely fills the room, when it works. I have it connected by HDMI to an ARC port on a TV. If I want to watch something on TV, but listen to audio through bluetooth, think sports on tv but music in the background, I have to unplug the HDMI cable otherwise there is an extreme amount of "skipping" of sound, remember when portable CD players came out? Unacceptable at this price. Unplug the HDMI and just connect via bluetooth, awesome until the skipping picks back up 10 minutes later. While the connection is good, the sound is great, but it is completely unstable. Do you want to host friends and apologize for the budget experience that you paid premium money for? I'm a Crutchfield advocate, but this product severely misses the mark.

Needed to upgrade my BOSE system and opted for the Soundbar 700
Crutchfield customer from Miami, FL on 4/5/2020
This was replacement to an old multi component BOSE system that i had for years. I finally gave in and decided to upgrade although my old system was working perfectly. i did want the enhancement of Bluetooth and ALEXA prompts. i have had it for 2 weeks and i love the amazing sound quality from a very compact system. It is not inexpensive but is the same amazing BOSE quality and design. My family loves the new system and we are enjoying it almost daily. Very pleased BOSE clients.

Very Pleased
Crutchfield customer from Bellevue, ID on 2/11/2020
After researching and reading about the various sound-bars available, we decided on the Bose due to having experience with other Bose products and other highly recommending this product. When the package arrived, we were impressed on how well it was boxed and protected along with how well the item seemed to be constructed. As noted, the finish fits right in with our new Sony Bravada and decor. Once everything was installed and connected, we fired up the TV and sound-bar; and to our pleasure, the sound was clear, precise and spacious. The bass was amazing for such a small compact system. We haven't used the enclosed headphones to tune the sound yet, but in our large living room, it performs well. In the future we may add other Bose related items like the subwoofer and satellite speakers to create a more dynamic sound.
Pros: Quality construction, quality sound, overall performance and a classic piece to equipment.
Cons: Cost

Great Sound, set up sucks.
Noel from TOLLESON, AZ on 12/9/2019
Sound Quality is on par with most high-end systems but the wireless 700 subwoofer is a must for full immersion. My main interest in the purchase was simplicity but I then found out during set up its quite a pain. The Bose app will make your search for simple functions. I know some audiofiles will say its Bose and overrated, but for the average consumer, this will do just fine. The AdaptIQ software is another reason for my purchase as it tailored the speaker system to the room. Overall 4 out of 5, I was gonna give it a 3-star review due to the set-up but the sound quality and minimal wiring were a great plus.
Pros: Sound Adaptive software tailors speaker to your specific room Small footprint
Cons: Software

Great soundbar for movies
Jeffrey from New Paltz, NY on 12/9/2019
This soundbar is nice for regular TV shows. Pretty much like all the others. Where it really shines is when you watch movies on regular broadcasting or pay for services. I hate to say it but it sounds almost as nice as my big system in the playroom. It is worth the money to me and I would recommend getting the Sub woofer also. I did and it really adds to the soundtracks. Also, don't listen to the negative reviews on the installation process. I had mine up and running in about 15 minutes fully configured.
Pros: Great sound, small space compared to others.
Cons: Price, but you get what you pay for.

I've had the Bose 700 soundbar and subwoofer for 2 months now and it is amazing! With the calibration the sound is great all over my home.

Bose Soundbar 700
Crutchfield customer from Bayville, NY on 12/5/2018
I am really thrilled with the Bose Soundbar 700. I do not understand others who provide negative ratings based upon a comparison to a component system. For a soundbar, this is where its at and if music and fidelity matter to you, this is worth the investment. People seem to be caught up on the features offered by competitor brands (dolby atmos, dts x) etc but in my opinion sound quality must come first (and the Bose delivers). In any event, I tested other atmos-soundbars and wasn't too impressed with that technology anyway. I purchased the Bose Soundbar and matching 700 Base module. For music, it is superb. Vocals are clear, it has a wide image, it handles mids and highs with clarity and the base module delivers just the right amount of low end. For example, listening to Diana Krall's Peel Me a Grape (Love Scenes), you can feel the bass chord. The same applies to movies. The set up is very immersive and doesnt leave me feeling any need for atmos - certainly not at the expense of sound quality. I have not added the rear speakers yet. I have heard that the difference is night and day for movies. I pursued a soundbar for a variety of reasons, one of which is aesthetics. My bose setup is in my family room (17 by 20) that we use for a primary living space. the family room is an open floor plan and extends into an equally sized kitchen. I can say, unequivocally, that this soundbar handles the space. You will not regret your decision to get the
Pros: wide, crisp and immersive soundstage
Cons: initial connections are finicky but after it's done, it's worth the endeavor. Also, I have mine connected to a Sony x900f TV and for some reason I need both the HDMI and the optical cables connected for the Bose to operate with stability.

Great Soundbar!!!
Dave from Lubbock, TX on 11/6/2018
Soundbar??? When we talk about soundbars we tend to think of something designed for our TV only and built to provide better sound, mainly dialog. Not the case with the Bose Soundbar 700, the clear crisp sounds with thumping deep rich base surpasses most high-end stereo systems, makes an incredible sound system for listening to your favorite music or watching TV! Top the incredible sound of the Bose Soundbar 700 with the integration of the built-in Alexa and you have a very versatile system with exceptional looks! Gets even better, hook the Bose Soundbar 700 and the Bose Wireless Surround Speakers to your TV and you'll have spectacular sound from your movies, flybys that will make you duck and roars that will make you jump. Very elegant system with looks that are only exceeded by the great sound. Living in a dusty area the glass top of the Soundbar 700 is a big improvement over the Bose SoundTouch 130 system which has the mesh metal top. Add in the Bose Base Module 700 (which we don't have) and we can only imagine the additional base sound. Setup: Instruction are like a lot of instructions. Read some of the reviews on the Bose internet site as this will give you some good information when setting up. I read a review that talked about how long it took the Soundbar to download updates once they were connected to the internet using the Bose Music App, so I was prepared, however, if I had not read that review I might have been concerned with the App not finding the
Pros: Simple system, elegant design, appears very well made, and is fairly easy to set up. The sound is incredible, from clear sharp highs to deep rich solid base.
Cons: Be sure to read some of the reviews, this will help you with the set up. Could not download the Bose Music App to our Amazon fire tablet(s).

Not ready for primetime.

Good sound but this soundbar is not ready for primetime. The soundbar sounds good with a wide sound field and crisp highs, but lacks any lows and really needs the subwoofer to add depth. The biggest issue I have is the Alexa integration. Currently, as of mid-October, it doesn't support some major features of Alexa, (i.e. Spotify, routines, multi room audio). Also, Bose has somehow forgotten to include some of the basics of Alexa like Echo Spatial Perception where now the Bose hears you from the other-side of the house and takes over commands from the alexa you are 2 feet from. I know most of this can be fixed through software updates, but its a frustrating step backwards for the entire home automation and entertainment, and I have no idea when Bose will release these fixes.
Pros: Wide Sound Field Easy setup and install Using Dialog mode in the app helps sports games.
Cons: Alexa integration is poor. Bose App is confusing Needs subwoofer and maybe rears to have amazing sound.
