I don't talk about it much but I live with an incurable illness that's forced me to rely on my UA-cam channel as my only source of income to survive. That said PLEASE consider using my links in the description - it not only helps the channel but helps keep my life afloat. BIG THANK YOU to those that do.
Apart from how the soundbar is slow to react to the app, which is demonstrated here in the video (and trust me, pretty annoying when "taking your time" to dial in the settings or just decreasing volume), I have a massively different experience with this soundbar. First of all, HDMI does not work for me. 2 cables, 1 TV and 2 PCs, all the CEC settings, nothing can output to this damn thing. Optical was not working, too, but that unfroze after some back and forth in the app. Bluetooth connection lags about half a second and cuts initial sound after moment of silence. Now the thing does not connect to anything, app can't see it, I am given some pretty basic advice, like "restart", which does not help, just like the link to support, which gets you a HTTP 404/ not found error. Sad thing is that I actually do not hate the sound, because its going back where it came from. The drivers are less shitty that what you get on most soundbars, there is some bass between 100 and 200Hz, dropping down going both upwards and downwards in tone. But there is a bit bass, trying to mask whatever deficiency in mids..
@@vladimirljubopytnov5193probably you got a dud lol obviously the app relies on a really good router and phone you people cry for the dumbest things
i bought the 600 a few months back and love it, the 900 sounds even better but its simply too long for me and wasnt keen on the shiny top that will reflect off the tv. i bought the sub 500 for it wondering if it was worth it since the basic unit is already pretty good at base for a small room but yea im glad i did, it sounds frigging awesome
Thank you so much for taking to time to explain the Bose 600 Soundbar. I'm planning on making the purchase.
Awesome, I'd super appreciate if you use my link!
Excellent work - very informative both technically and product-wise - thanks much!
i got the bose 600 today. as expected the sound is crisp and very defined/clear. although i am not a bass addict, you can really tell that the bass thump is missing. you really need the bose module 500 to get the overall experience. soundbar alone is not enough. i still have 30 days to return or exchange but i may keep it and just save up for the bose module. i like the clarity and crisp sound vs the muffled sound from sony bars or jbl on same price range. family also watches news or tv series so voice clarity with a little bass from this bose 600 is also a factor. its not everyday that we watch a movie on tv so the bose module 500 can wait.
Excellent and informative review. I was looking at the 600 and you covered everything that I needed to know. Thank you and nice job!
Great review, thank you!
Very nice review Jacob. Well done.
A lot of options when it comes to soundbars. I've been looking at all kinds of brands from vizio to Samsung to Sony. Now I'm looking at the Bose 600.
Great review thank you - have ordered the sound isolation feet as well. Thanks again!
Awesome! Happy holidays!
Excellent presentation.
Would you get a samsung hwq800b or bose 600 if there was only £8.00 price difference between them? I'm hitting 60 soon and would love one of these soundbars.
Thanks in advance
I currently have a Samsung Q 800 5.1.2. Sounds good would the Bose be a huge upgrade? I have 20 foot ceilings with a loft so I have a lot of open space any recommendations?
Great review! Thanks!
Hi! Would you recommend the soundbar Bose 600 or 700? (Same price in some shops and I only watch youtube videos, so I guess no Dolby content)
Been researching sound bars for my 65" Samsung TV. Have Bose sound systems in my Acura & had a theater-type setup before. As of this moment, I have a Bose Smart 600 on it's way -- delivery tomorrow. Thanks.
I have Bose as well in my Mazda! The 600 is a solid choice
What are your thoughts on it bro? I also have a 65 inch TV and I'm considering buying it.
Can i use two bose smart home 500 speakers instead of dedicated bose surround speakers, with bose 900 soundbar? Plz suggest.
Question: I live in an apartment and I know you said the sound bar alone should be fine. I have the budget for a bass module but I don’t have a place to put it. So the question is, should I get it? And if yes where would be the best place to put it?
Very nice review ... I agree with all your points and also would like to add it is fantastic for music listening. Very immersive, clear, punchy and non fatiguing for long listening sessions. It disappears in the room and doesn't call attention to itself sound wise. I was a Bose non believer for a long time, but this has been a fantastic product all around.
First vid I've seen of yours. Sharply done and to the point.
Earned you a sub. Appreciate your efforts.
Appreciate you!
Sorry i want to ask did bose 600 built in sub woofer in it? Please reply tq
Been using the 600 for a couple of months now and absolutely loving it!
I'm not an expert on sound or anything, and for people like me it simply "sounds right" for everything from Atmos-enabled content and thundering 5.1 to normal dialogue and talk shows.
Are you using it with Bass module 500 and Sorround speakers?
@@uvansreeni8205 no, just the 600 soundbar. The bass seems good enough with just the soundbar!
HI, Got a 600 recenlty, i like it but would also like a 900 too, but that glass reflective top has got to go or at least make a 900 option without it.
I have the nose 500 does it have Dolby ? Also is it worth it to buy the 600 ? Coming from a 500
Im confused. You say and arc will let you take full advantage of Dolby Atmos but elsewhere I read that is not true. That, unless you have earc, the sound will be compressed. Could you please clarify?
Please help, I'm trying to connect to a yamaha subwoofer via aux to rca cable, from the bass port output, but the bass won't come out of the subwoofer. What am I doing wrong?
What is the Atmos that you mentioned ?
I've been researching soundbars with dolby atmos recently. In November I bought the LG OLED55C2PUA. I absolutely love this 4K TV. The picture quality is incredible and believe it or not, the audio that comes out of this tv is incredible with the AI processor. However, I want to be able to utilize dolby atmos when watching movies, etc. I've had Bose products before and currently still have some Bose products. Thank you for your review. I'm gonna check this soundbar out. I was interested in purchasing the subwoofer and rear speakers too. My den isn't that big. It's about 16' X 13'. Would the sub and rear speakers be overkill? And happy new year to you!
Having a full surround setup in my living room I would NEVER say rears and a sub are overkill, if you have the budget do it, it makes a difference
@@JacobDarkOfficial that's my thinking too! Thank you!
the rubber supports are from the washing machine?
Ordered just before i saw your vid thanks
Thanks for the comment, helps the algorithm :)
I bought the 600 but am thinking of upgrading to the 900 due to memorial day sales
What’s the difference be 700, thanks
Great video
happy holidays just wanted to know whats better for dialogue the bose 600 or the jbl 5.1 the bedroom is 12 x 12 feet and decent base thanks,joseph
It's been like 2 years since I've heard the JBL so really can't give an accurate opinion, I'd imagine you'd be good either way
How much watt does it has?
After install my bose 600 my TV turn on after I turn it off how I stop this to happen?
Had the $150 Solo 2. Very center-firing and no soundstage otherwise decent clarity and much improved over the TV speakers. But when mixed with those 55" TV's speakers the soundstage and overall experience was better than the 600's. The TV speakers gave it width and dimension which was very nice. And if I wanted more, turned on my stereo (satellites and subwoofer) and the Solo became a great center channel.
Should have left that alone, but got the 600 at 3X the price of the Solo hoping for some kind of dynamic upgrade. But the 600's audio , when connected with either optical or HDMI-ARC, is slightly but unacceptably delayed vs TV (echo) so it can't be used with either the TV speakers or the satellite setup. And versus the Solo 2 (and TV speakers off), soundstage is better, but there's not really more bass, and audio clarity is about the same. If paired with surround speakers and a sub in its network, the 600 would probably be pretty nice (no audio delays). For my non-surround system, the $150 bar was more versatile than the $400 one. Also like that the Solo 2 doesn't require the phone app. Now, why does the 600 have an audio delay? Unknown. I tried working with all available TV and soundbar settings, to no avail. The delay probably has to do with the 600 processing the sound more than the Solo 2 must.The app lets you add audio lag, from 0 to 200 ms or so, which is weird because it's slower than the TV already. I needed negative latency, something like - 40 ms in that setting. All inputs are the same (DVD, TV, etc) ... the Firestick let me delay its audio by that ~ 40 ms and then the sound was synched with the 600, but audio lagged video badly. No win.
Something looks “off” about your Polk home theater system. Are those regular bookshelf speakers pointed up to the ceiling for atmos effects?
Correct, I've asked Polk multiple times for an Atmos speaker in this line up but one doesn't exist and I got these at a steal so it's the next best thing lol
I like the speakers on your computer desk what are they. What speakers recommend for gaming I’m using a gaming monitor
Check the description under "My TOP TIER Studio Monitors"
Is there a video or audio you like to use while calibrating your sound bar? Thanks!
I bounce around different Marvel movies, really anything new, just get it to a point you're happy with and listen to a few different movies to see if sounds good across them all
All quit to the western front
Congratulations for the excellent video, one question: do you think it is worth upgrading from the bose 500 soundbar to this bose 600? Thanks for the reply
Eh, honestly no. If you didn't have a soundbar yet I'd say 600 but I don't think the benefits would outweigh the cost
@@JacobDarkOfficial thank you very much for your opinion
It is good for listening to pure music?
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.
I don't like to comment on things I haven't personally used like the Klipsch, if all else fails maybe buy both from a place you can return the one you didn't like if you have the budget
@@JacobDarkOfficial thanks for the speedy response. Maybe I will do that
Alright. You just convinced me. It was either this or the JBL Bar 300. Gonna go pick this up tomorrow at best buy.
Just a heads up if you use my link and buy online to pick up in store it really helps the channel!
Jacob do you think its better then sonos beam gen 2 ? Im trying to decide which one to buy
Haven't heard the Sonos so I can't give an honest opinion but I'm happy with it and still use it in my bedroom. If you use my link I'd SUPER appreciate it!
Just bought the Bose 600 yesterday, arriving tomorrow. Looking forward to using it. One question: will Dolby ATMOS sound travel over Bluetooth from my Chromecast? I’ll be streaming primarily using my Google Chromecast and was hoping to connect this soundbar directly to it via Bluetooth. Thanks
As long as the content is Atmos it should work
@@JacobDarkOfficial Great, thanks 🙏
@@JacobDarkOfficial It looks like it is converting Dolby ATMOS sound to LPCM when streamed via Bluetooth from my Chromecast to the Bose 600. At least, that is what the Bose app is telling me. Any idea why this might be? Cheers
Update? @@SteveAtwal
@@bastiendamour1617 I ended up buying a new TV, the Sony A75L 55” 4K (to replace my aging 20 year old plasma TV), and it produces Dolby ATMOS output to my Bose 600. It sounds good. From my experience, Dolby ATMOS doesn’t really produce well over Bluetooth.
Hi, maybe someone knows how to connect Bose Sounder 600 to wired SVS SB-1000Pro sub? In some place (also SVS web) there's information it is working and just need a 3.5mm jack to RCA adapter and then normal sub cable. I did it but is not working, when I tried to connect to smartphone the sub it is working so it looks like Bose is not sending signal to the bose output, how to activate it?
Mine worked for a while until I unplugged it to clean behind the tv. There "was" a tab on the app to adjust the wired subwoofer volume but it has since disappeared. And there is NOBODY to ask at Bose. Their customer service absolutely SUCKS!
@@jimzeleny7213 in my case always works this procedure: subwoofer needs to be power off and the cable from sub to Bose also disconnected. Then I’m turning on Bose, connecting cable and when Bose is powered on I’m turning on also subwoofer and this way it starts to show sun in the Bose app.
In my case it works every time.
@@marcinmarcin4811 what do you mean by show sun in app?
@@adithyamuluk Oh sorry, i want to say that then sub will show in the Bose app
@@marcinmarcin4811 I tried that, but the subwoofer still won't show up on the app. And there is still no bass transmitting from the soundbar to the subwoofer.
Just to clarify does the Bose 600 accept a tv with Arc only
Correct
Anybody knows which speakers are behind him next to monitor?
Check the description under "My DREAM Studio Monitors "
This might be a dumb question but will it output 5.1 surround when watching movies on netflix?
It upmixes them to try to recreate Atmos, so it may be similar but of course true 5.1 needs 5 speakers and a sub
@@JacobDarkOfficial
But atmos is 5.1.2 or something. I dont get how it can be atmos without multiple speakers?
@@lonelycake4114 atmos are up firing speakers. They bounce the sound off the ceiling. They're usually built into the ends of a soundbar.
@@thomasfecteau3251
My question is how come this soundbar can do atmos but not 5.1?
@@lonelycake4114 the computer chip in the 5.1 soundbar can SIMULATE dolby atmos. I bought a Sonos Arc soundbar and subwoofer with true dolby atmos. It's written like this 11.1.2 which means it's got 11 front facing speaker drivers, 1 subwoofer and 2 up firing speakers. These 2 up firing speakers are considered the atmos speakers. They bounce the sound off the ceiling creating sounds that sound like a jet or helicopter is flying overhead. Hopefully you'll understand the concept a little better.
Which tv buying for dolby atmos support??
Any modern TV should work
@@JacobDarkOfficial which brand 2.1 earc
Great review!
My question is, can you plug in any additional speakers into the bass port, or do they have to be bose only?
Thanks for any answers.
As far as I know only compatible Bose speakers will work
@JacobDarkOfficial thanks for the reply 👍
Great video, I have this setup right now and it sounds great in Atmos. TopGun Maverick was amazing.
Your videos are amazing and you are a great speaker "very radio like". Straight to the point and descriptive/informational. Great job bud!
UPDATE: Sent it back for refund. Disconnecting way too many times. Performed all of the troubleshooting and still bad. Bad bad. I ended up with a Sonos Beam and the large Sub. The app was very smooth as well as the sound.
UPDATE: I still don't get that sound from the left and right as far as surround goes. I did run the setup with the iPAD however.
Any suggestions?
Which one is best bose 300 or bose 600 sound quality
300 if you want more of a forward sound, 600 if want Atmos and more surround. I chose the 600 because I wanted Atmos.
I've already bought and returned the Sony HT-G700 very boomey with low vocals. Picked up the Polk sigma S4. Much better then the Sony. But I was demoing the Bose 600 also. My concern was no sub included. I'm thinking I may return the Polk and get the bose 600 anyway.
@@BIGBORE375HH If your space is small/medium you should be ok without the sub, after calibrating I'm very satisfied with the 600
Would you say the Bose is the best for dialogue and for listening to music?
I got one of these f9r my parents for Christmas. It’s just barely better than the video speakers built into the TV. I have a hard time telling if it’s even on.
Which tv do they have?
Good video why do you put your soundbar on legs?
Isolation. I know most soundbars have rubber feet but the more to isolate the sound from the stand the better.
@@JacobDarkOfficial thanks for your answer. One more question: does watching dolby atmos content make a lot of difference than just watching surround content with this bar?
@@timowthie If you're thinking of buying it beware, quality wise the soundbar is fine but after a few months I started experiencing a lot of bugs, A LOT of bugs to the point I ended up getting rid of it and picked up a JBL BAR 500 instead.
@@JacobDarkOfficial Ive had this bar for a week now and i love the sound quality. What sort of bugs did you encounter? But did you watch any dolby atmos content with this bar and did that inrpove sound quality?
Who's here after ordering a bose 600?
Bose 600 or Sonos beam 2?
i wanna know to, but I guess nobody can answer this since a lot is subjective. :(
I nearly crushed this thing with a rock while trying to install it. It literally took me hours because it requires downloading an app to your phone, creating another account with another password to write down and then using Bluetooth and your WiFi for the app to recognize the sound bar for it to work. What could go wrong? We all know how bejiggedy Bluetooth is, and if you have an LG TV, you probably already know that it doesn’t play nice with mesh networks. I thought our sun would go supernova before I got the app to see my sound bar. Then, after hours, it magically did, but I still couldn’t get any sound out of it. After puzzling over this for a while, without touching anything the sound popped on by itself completely unaided. That’s a lot of work to put in for a device whose sound is only marginally better than that of my TV in the first place. All you people who love this device, what are you smoking, and what garbage TV set do you have that makes you think this is a big improvement?
I ended up moving on from this soundbar. After almost a year it began to have issues connecting to the app and sometimes not working at all. I made a follow up video talking about it but it got no views so I deleted it. I plan to make a video on the new soundbar I chose soon.
@@JacobDarkOfficial Things used to be simple 30 years ago. You buy a product like this, bring it home, connect and plug it in and it works as advertised. Today, everything has become so complicated and fraught, and requires a smart phone, creating an account and giving away your email address in the process. Not to mention relying on technologies which routinely let us down, like phone apps, Bluetooth and WiFi. Simpler is always better. One day we will regret following the piper off the cliff.
@@JacobDarkOfficial which soundbar do you have now? Either this or the beam Gen 2 for me. Would appreciate a reply! Great work
These do not work well on Samsung tvs. I had to return mine. The bar worked for 20 minutes then died.
Very strange, did you get another unit to try out? I could maybe understand if there were some kind of compatibility issue but even then the unit shouldn't die unless there's something wrong with it.
@@JacobDarkOfficial I didn't try another unit yet. But others online with Samsung tvs had this same issue.
@@Batman-jc5uc Interesting, thanks for the info
The 600 worked with my wired subwoofer then stopped working after I temporarily unplugged the 3.5mm cable. There is NOBODY to ask about this from Bose. Bose customer service is the WORST!
If price isn’t the issue, the Sonos Arc is far superior.
I also ended up buying the Sonos Arc as well. I bought the big subwoofer too. When I compared the Bose 600 to the Sonos Arc, the Sonos won big time. The dialog is so clear! I watched Top Gun Maverick on it and it felt like the earth was shaking! Awesome, awesome, awesome 👌
I'm going to buy the surround speakers this week, the Sonos One SL.
But price IS the comparison here though.
The Sonos Arc is a class above the Bose Smart Soundbar 600, the equal Soundbar to the Arc is the Bose Smart Soundbar 900. Having said that, the Bose Smart Soundbar 600 punches very hard above its weight!
Just bought a 600 and this piece of shit won't setup. I am beyond pissed.
At 400 to 500 I need Bluetooth Bose all the plus I got my 600 for 149.00. Really
