Just a great remark, the Smart Sounbar 300 has just as many transducer Drivers as the SoundBar 700, making the value in my opinion be higher for lower prices for the Smart SoundBar 300!
Personally i love sound of BOSE TV speakers bcoz it gives proper treble & bass combination than smart sound bar 300 if base module 500 connect to TV speakers it will be best sound with budget friendly cost 😀
Agree I am testing in a store for some time both speakers and i have to say I like better bose tv speaker! Its surprising because its cheaper but in my opinion the sound is nicer 😀 Greets from Poland
@London Newyork basically he’s saying the soundbars are comparable when paired with the optional bass modules. The 300 is going to have more features and slightly better sound but not worth the cost difference to the Bose tv speaker
I currently have the Bose TV speaker and I love it. I want to upgrade to the Smart Sound bar 300. My question is does the 300 have more bass than the Tv speaker. I was definitely Impressed with the bass from the TV speaker.
So bought the TV Speaker 6 months ago in living room, got the 500 Bass too. Now am thinking , given size of room (includes open concept kitchen, dinning room as well) might go up to the 300, given the extra drivers and your comments in video. Think worth it?
You missed a major point for considering the Bose TV Speaker: it has a voice clarity adjuster. Does that feature work well? I have a hearing loss and that is my main interest.
I purchased the TV speaker and it works very well for the hearing impaired, like myself. In addition the dialog enhancement control is on the remote, not on the app, which makes the TV Speaker better than the other Bose soundbars.
I’m waiting for mine to be delivered but if the reviews I’ve read it has probably the best dialogue enhancer out of any standalone soundbar. It’s nice that you have the option to add the bass module. However, if you’re using it for anything but say a bedroom you might want to upgrade or just bite the bullet and get the set. I’ve heard Bose isn’t the best in sound anymore (I guess Sonos, Klipstch are the best people say) but I guess it will depend on what you spend. Supposedly Bose doesn’t have good highs and lows
The Bose 300 actually has two additional speakers that point out toward the sides... which he forgot to mention. So it's a total of 6 speakers and one tweeter.
FYI, I got the 300 and the sub-woofer 500, as well, which was well worth it. Incredible sound. Considering getting the side speakers for more surround sound effect, but not sure they’re worth it. The 300 and sub-woofer were, though, and are an awesome combo. Thanks again!
@@jayhache5609 did you get the side speakers for the 300?? Im planning on getting the sode speakers. 400.00 is alot especially in this day and age. But my mind is kinda of made up
My big issue is the voice clarity. Presently have a Polk Mag Mini, and I find often hard to hear voice clear over background, even with voice boost option. Are they both good, and/or which better?
For small room you can go with Bose TV speaker. for living room go with Bose smart 300. if budget can be pushed a bit more add Bass module 500. Do not worry at all about voice clarity. Bose is famous for it's drawback "no highs, no lows, must be bose" means bose midrange( voice ) is always extremely good. but with the new generation smart speakers 300, 500, 700 Bose has all highs, mids and lows very well balanced. I have the Bose 500 set up for last 1 year and I enjoy it daily at least for a couple of hours.
Bose midrange is always extremely good and even with 0 it will work amazing. I keep it 10 for center, which is for voice i.e midrange . 30-40 for bass and again 10 for treble. Good luck.
I know you can get a bass module for this but only got the dough to fork out for one. So how is the bass on just the soundbar, does it still bump fairly well? Thanks for video I just can not hear the test properly as just have the built in tv speaker right now.
@@lucidreviews6809 not much.but overall t sound quality of t bose tv speaker is smooth and clean. If U want more bass with great sound nothing beats t bose soundbar 700 with t bass 700 for t price.
absolutely. Just do not set up Alexa in your Bose smart speaker. Alexa can be turned on off. or do not even create and account for Alexa in your Bose music app.
@@kuladipbhowmik3173 yeah, that’s not going to stop it from listening. If it’s got a mic… you can be heard, regardless if you setup an Alexa account or turn it on. Once it’s on WiFi you essentially give up that privacy control. Remember when the US swore they would never spy on us? Then Snowden happened and now not only the US but every other country doesn’t deny infringing on basic privacy regarding electronics. Right now mining data from people is the most powerful currency regardless of the country you call home
Frankie lane , they never going to include Dolby atmos or DTSX , They are better options out there, with Bose you are just paying for the brand no quality at all
The one you have is the larger one with more output and I believe larger speakers. I also believe that yours has two sound radiators and four drivers facing forward. You have a higher end model. the sound from yours is i believe is fuller.
@@ConsumerCave would love that tbh… I hate having microphones in electronics other than a phone. It’s unnecessary for a home theater system IMHO unless that’s what you’re looking for. Seems crazy to pay extra for a feature you don’t want so I went with the Bose TV speaker… I need clarity at low volumes. If I want body rockin bass, I’ll add the 500/700 module. Good review though 👍
I was going to buy the Sonos beam now seeing the Bose 300 reviews I want to get the Bose due to Bluetooth which Sonos doesn’t. Also the extra speakers are more affordable than the Sonos. I do have my QC35s headphones for a few years now and I still love them.
I just got my TV speaker for my desktop setup. The design and build quality are fantastic. But the sound quality is not what I expected, my old Sound Touch 20 was sounding way better but the TV speaker simply produces more Bass. I feel the instruments and vocals are lost.
you do not have all the smart features, Alexa Assistant functions do not work correctly... Direct from BOSE Support "I would like to inform you that not all Amazon Alexa features are available on non-Amazon devices. Some Alexa features are unavailable on non-Amazon-made products. Additionally, some features of your Bose product cannot be accessed via Alexa."
Fuck the bose music app. Everytime i wanna control the bass volume i always have to unplug and replug and then it appears on the app. Ive had this issue with 2 seperate same soundbars. Such a ridiculous issue to have for a 800$ base module and soundbar system. when my cheap 200$ speakers never had such a annoying issue. Why would there be not bass control on the remote who fuckin knows

Agreed TV speakers sound better.
Plus connection with bass module 700 would transform your room into theatre

Yup using one and ur 100% right

i think should just jump to bose 700. coz not so much difference between tv speaker to 300.
Yes, the 300/500/700 all have more powerful built in bass.
What a great review!! Thoroughly put together! You would be an excellent teacher!! 😊😎🤙
Thank you
Fantastic review thanks 😊😊
Thanks for watching!

What’s the ideal soundboard just for listening to music through my iPad music library?
Hello, i bought the TV speaker one, can i connect my own bass box to it? Do you know what type of plug i will need to plug into the back?

Hello...! Great video, could you try it Bosé tv speaker whit bose bass 500?
Yes, these two can be paired together
Thank you for this great video..

What do you feel is the best audio setting, bass tribble, center for the Bose Smart Soundbar 300 using HDMI arc?
Bose midrange is always extremely good and even with 0 it will work amazing. I keep it 10 for center, which is for voice i.e midrange . 30-40 for bass and again 10 for treble. Good luck.
Thanks for the review I was really stuck on which on I wanted to buy.
Glad I could help!
What did you choose?
The tv speaker is perfect for the bedroom. The 300 or 700 for the living room
I know you can get a bass module for this but only got the dough to fork out for one. So how is the bass on just the soundbar, does it still bump fairly well? Thanks for video I just can not hear the test properly as just have the built in tv speaker right now.
Heck yea it still work well without the bass module I ordered mine because it was sold out at the store but it holds up very well
For a small boxed room im telling its worth buying the tv speaker
Yes they both have good bass but 300 has more.

分かりやすいです！
nice review！
Sir I have t bose tv speaker with t bass 500.if I use t soundbar 300 with t bass 500 will it be an upgrade sound quality wise?
Is there much of a difference with the bass 500? And if so how much? Is it worth it overall?
@@lucidreviews6809 not much.but overall t sound quality of t bose tv speaker is smooth and clean. If U want more bass with great sound nothing beats t bose soundbar 700 with t bass 700 for t price.
I don’t think upgrading to the 300 would be much different. Maybe the 500 or 700 you would see a bigger difference.
Call it neurotic but not a fan of Alexa (or Echo etc) listening to my conversations. So unless that feature can be turned off I'd go the cheaper route
absolutely. Just do not set up Alexa in your Bose smart speaker. Alexa can be turned on off. or do not even create and account for Alexa in your Bose music app.

Does the Bose Sound Speakers play Dolby ATMOS content with HDMI ARC?
Frankie lane , they never going to include Dolby atmos or DTSX , They are better options out there, with Bose you are just paying for the brand no quality at all
@@2081calin Thank you for the reply to my question, I appreciate it.
@@frankie142622 , sure good luck on your purchase , I hope you get way better than Bose
@@2081calin Exactly what brands are better than Bose for the same price?
Yeh nobody seems to be able to answer that one
Does bose tv speaker have auto-off function like Solo 5?
Yes you just need to enable it
The tv speaker is just the same inside as the solo 5 its just not worth the money buy the soundbar 300 way better .
I’m confused. I have Bose SoundTouch 300. I heard this is now discontinued. Is there any sound quality differences between all of these?
The one you have is the larger one with more output and I believe larger speakers. I also believe that yours has two sound radiators and four drivers facing forward. You have a higher end model. the sound from yours is i believe is fuller.
Your's is the best Bose had made in that price range. I got a Bose TV Speaker recently but i just love the sound quality from my old SoundTouch 20.
The Bose Soundtouch 300 is the same as the Bose 700 Soundbar but without Alexa and google assistant. Same exact sound quality as the 700.

same here.. and I bought bose 300 due to bluetooth feature
Great review 👍
I just wonder if you know what is the difference between Bose smart 300 and Bose soundbar 500 ?
Greetings from Sweden
Mainly the speaker output area and bass, both can be used with Alexa or google
the music told you which one was better 300 hands down
No the price told everyone which one was better 😂
@@nero786 and size if like me it's an issue.
Which one sounds better?
Bose 300 but very similar
What is t difference as far as t sound quality goes?
Both have great sound quality but the 300 has more power and bass
Which bass module is recommended with t bose 300?
Bose 500 bass module but if you want more bass than that the Bose 700 bass module
Why would you need or mention if the soundbars are portable?
Some people use this as a party speaker but it needs a power source.
4 drivers vs 2 drivers. 1 center speaker
I just got my TV speaker for my desktop setup. The design and build quality are fantastic. But the sound quality is not what I expected, my old Sound Touch 20 was sounding way better but the TV speaker simply produces more Bass. I feel the instruments and vocals are lost.
is this the $399 compared to the $249?
yes
Any chance we can get some specs like is it 3.1 channel?
It sounds like the 300 is more crisp and clearer than the tv speaker which is not that clear.

What's this song though lol
Last summer - ikson
Typing error, should have written “soundbar”
Fuck the bose music app. Everytime i wanna control the bass volume i always have to unplug and replug and then it appears on the app. Ive had this issue with 2 seperate same soundbars. Such a ridiculous issue to have for a 800$ base module and soundbar system. when my cheap 200$ speakers never had such a annoying issue. Why would there be not bass control on the remote who fuckin knows
Their app needs work for sure.
bose tv speaker has bass increase on remote :) also has voice enhance option :) isnt that great
I wish they connected to Apple HomeKit
It does work with Apple
👍👍👍
