Thanks for giving an honest review and comparison. Im happy you tell me why I should or should not buy it because everyone else sounds like an ad these days
Great in depth review. The dialogue on the Bose Smart SB 600 is already excellent and sounds very natural so for me the AI dialogue wouldn't add very much. .
@@TheFrenchGlowI just bought the 600 here in nz. Was $250nzd cheaper than the rrp of $800nzd for the new one so I’m guessing end of production sale here
Informative review. I am trying to make up my mind about the various soundbars available and was looking into the 600 when i heard about the smart soundbar. This cleared things in that regard. Thank you very much! You've got yourself a subscriber. :-)
Thank you so much for the side-by-side sound tests. I cannot believe how many reviewers include NO SOUND TESTS IN THEIR REVIEW VIDEOS!! Shouldn't that be KINDA IMPORTANT FOR A SOUND PRODUCT??? I thought I was gonna lose my mind until I found your content. =_=
So I bought the Bose 550 and set it up with HDMI. Now every time I turn my tv off it automatically turns on my tv 20-30 seconds later. Tried everything to fix the problem. Any suggestions ?
Hi! No I don't expect anything new til end of 2025 for the rebranded ultra. Speaker tech is usually planned years in advance and outside of more software upgrades, bose hasn't mentioned any new speaker hardware tech innovation. Hopefully sooner than later.
whatt??? is this new product?? I’ve bern waiting for this for so long, I was contemplating on buying the 600 or Ultra, since I need this AI Dialogue feature so bad, but I don’t have the space and the Ultra would be overkill for my small apartment, the size and sound was perfectly fit with 600, so now, I definitely will buy this new iteration. Thanks a lot for the video.
@@timowthie wow, I never heard of that feature and still can’t found anybody talking about it on their review, I really needed that dialogue mode tho. for now I’m still waiting for the new speaker to hit Asian market, because up until now there’s still no official statement or release in Malaysia/Indonesia, probably the price would be the ultimate decision making when it arrives, if the gap was not that much, then I’ll take the new one, but if the price difference was to much, then I probably would get the 600
when i sold my bose 700 to replace it with bose ultra soundbar i also sold the sub too i thought bose would release a new sub and now i feel obligated to buy another sub 700. 🤦🏾♂️
@chrisorta9514 do you get your sb auto removed from your bose app from time to time. i face that issue. i have to again add new product in bose app to manage bass treble
When I turn the tv and soundbar on, sometimes the sound comes on but other times no sound, or if the tv has been on standby the sound goes. I can still use the remote at this time and see the volume going up and down but not sound. Or on other occasions, it will just take a long time for the sound to come on. Last night I switched to the apple tv app and that turned the sound off.
This bose is GREAT!.. I Have $12,000 Bang & Olufsen speakers in my dining room and $$$ Bowers and Wilkins reference setup+ 2 JL audio home subs in my movie room. I have this simple bar in my flex room and its awesome for what it its. Different use cases. This bose bar impressed me for its size. I am not expecting chest pounding bass. I can hear balanced and full sound which my tv doesn’t provide and the bose is a great “simple”solution. Not everyone wants gaudy SVS /hsu/rsl monster subs with some AVR and some tower speakers which can be such an eyesore..

Thanks, great video. Even talking with Bose support they told me they were the same speaker and couldn't tell me what was actually different
I would have appreciated upgraded drivers or woofers. 🤷

Only difference is the new one had AI technology
Great informative review and very helpful. Thanks heaps!👍
Is this the same as the Bose 550?

Question what better 700 or 600 soundbar is my question tryiny to think what one i want to get ?
Hi! The 700 will have bigger sound because it has more power
Hello, is the ai dialogue mode on by default? Because i dont what that
Hi it is not on by default.
Song choice = Perfection
If it is about software update. Can we expect the bose 600 to get the new ai features?
So I bought the Bose 550 and set it up with HDMI. Now every time I turn my tv off it automatically turns on my tv 20-30 seconds later. Tried everything to fix the problem. Any suggestions ?
TV HMDI settings
do you think this means the successor of the 900 is on the horizon?
@@timowthie it’s been there for 1 year or so, it’s called Smart Soundbar Ultra
@@jairenstewali mean like a real succesor like the arc ultra

Can you compare there 2 with base module against samsung q800d?
I im planning to buy next month but cannot deside which of them

do you actually need it? the 600 has a dialogue mode which boost the the already clear sounding vocals quite a bit
@@timowthie wow, I never heard of that feature and still can’t found anybody talking about it on their review, I really needed that dialogue mode tho. for now I’m still waiting for the new speaker to hit Asian market, because up until now there’s still no official statement or release in Malaysia/Indonesia, probably the price would be the ultimate decision making when it arrives, if the gap was not that much, then I’ll take the new one, but if the price difference was to much, then I probably would get the 600
But I bet they havent upgraded the Bluetooth codec...still AAC/SBC. They really need to look at that.
I’m pretty sure it’s on sale for $199 at Walmart. Ordered one myself
When are they planning to replace their bass module 😮
Not sure they will because no software fixes can make them better imho. But they should lower the price on them
when i sold my bose 700 to replace it with bose ultra soundbar i also sold the sub too i thought bose would release a new sub and now i feel obligated to buy another sub 700. 🤦🏾♂️
What is Wall EQ? I tried to turn it on and off, I can’t hear the difference
equalizer setting if you have it mounted on a wall
i bought bose sb 550 which lacks mic and alexa. if u dont care about alexa buy 550 its cheap and same speaker quality
I buy the 550 for the same reason i dont need alexa
@chrisorta9514 do you get your sb auto removed from your bose app from time to time. i face that issue. i have to again add new product in bose app to manage bass treble
I would rather go with powered bookshelf speakers.
Regardless, it was a great review with good points.
My 600 connects to tv (samsung S95C) and the sound cuts off! Anyone else have this problem
Could be the Samsung software this time? Can you share more info how it happens?

I can still use the remote at this time and see the volume going up and down but not sound. Or on other occasions, it will just take a long time for the sound to come on.

They got the 550 for $199 at walmart
I’ll rather stay with Bose 600 soundbar
Anyone else experiencing a bad sound after the latest firmware update 9.0.11-1280+18778d5?
Hi! I haven't but what tv are you paired with? My sony x90k doesn't pair as well as my x95.
Paired with earc and Amazon fire tv stick.. 😕
except no interest whatsoever in anything controlled by 'apps'; which will be obsolete; e-al...
bose is garbage.
Well enlighten us all then, tell us the brands that make a better stand alone sound bar for under $500.
@@petermartinaitis8166 soundbars are garbage, get a proper multi-channel system.
