If I mounted the Bose under my TV mounted on the wall, would that negatively impact the upward pointing speakers? It seems they would be pointing directly under my TV….
@DadManDude If you're mounting it under your TV, make sure to leave at least 4 inches between the top of the soundbar and the bottom of the TV. That gap is sufficient, per Bose, to allow the sound to go up towards the ceiling of the room without the TV interfering.
I'll say leave 6 or 8 inches don't put it underneath the TV. I'm accustomed to listen to various home theater system and I've put my center sony speaker upward. 🔊 sounds 👌
@thuattranngoc2986 They're both terrific options.

I had constant problems with my Bose 600. Optical audio was stuttering.

Worst product I’ve purchased in recent years. Complicated set-up involving the downloading of an app which connects to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth - any one of which might not work with your sound bar or your TV. Lots of places for the whole thing to fail. I had mine mostly working okay for 6 months, but now it isn’t seeing my TV in the app. I’ve lost. Game. Set. Match. I’ve been defeated by my sound bar. I need to hire somebody to come get this working. And, honestly, it doesn’t really sound much better than my TV when it’s working. I’m over this modern world. Buy something 30 years ago, connect it, turn on and it works. Simplicity is key. From now on, any product that requires an app, it doesn’t get purchased. And nothing from Bose again.
@zeilinger2560 Yes, we think so. Especially if you have a TV that can output Dolby Atmos. It's a much more engaging experience. Here is a link to our latest pricing: bit.ly/3AV5IeP
@Tony R We have them both on display at our store. They use the same amount of drivers, but the way the 600 implements them is more effective for fuller surround effects. If you live in the Chicagoland area be sure to stop by the store and check them out!
I bought the 600 with the bass module as well. Trash. Though, I am used to my usual setup at home with a dedicated amp, Emotiva towers and surrounds, and my SVS sub. I just, for the price of the Bose, I was really hoping it would be decent. The connectivity is VERY lacking, despite what this video is saying. For this price, I shouldn't need to use an app to pair the speakers to the bass module, set up the sound bar, or anything. There should be any kind of audio in and audio out connections I would like. I was just really REALLY surprised there was zero AUX in. I bought the setup to be a compact audio solution for a temporary theater setup. I was very sorely disappointed with what my options ended up being to get everything working. And to top it all off, the audio quality was very disappointing. The bass is extremely weak without the bass module, and even with it you can barely even feel the bass or tell it's there. No chest thumping bass. And at high volumes you can definitely hear the speakers are working at their absolute limits to deliver the subpar audio. Better off picking together a decent audio solution from higher quality components. If you just don't care about quality and that shiny new box with the sexy Bose name on it is your thing, then this is the perfect sound bar for you.
@@Death__machine I mean, pretty much anything. Just look for the connectivity options you need. If it has the hookups you need them it's good enough for what you need. But, for how much these cost, you're better off with some decent powered bookshelf speakers or some passive bookshelf speakers with a cheap AV receiver.
@Thomas Wilke True, Bose is not inexpensive, but you get what you pay for with this one. The sound is absolutely fantastic for a soundbar of this size!
Lol $500 for a soundbar is BARELY entry level. You might get Dolby atmos, you might be able to connect via earc, and might be able to upgrade to add a sub woofer or rear speaker if you wanted later down the line. Even at $800, soundbars don’t even check all those out. LOL. And then on top of that, some brands don’t work well with other brands so you are even more fucked. So now you have to buy $1,200 soundbar just to be able to enjoy and have a piece of mind that what you bought is actually worth it. Mind you, I’m speaking in Canadian dollars with Black Friday sales :)
Not impressed at all, just average sound, not a major improvement over my LG C1 tv set , not worth the money AT ALL! and btw : it messes up all remotes already existing, I stop being able to turn on/off the tv with my sky remote as well as the controling the audio.
How you do a product review and not actually demo the sound bar is beyond me. You think we want to see you talk for 4 minutes? Don't recommend channel. Bye.

Not really when most high end sound bars will be triple that amount.
Lol $500 for a soundbar is BARELY entry level. You might get Dolby atmos, you might be able to connect via earc, and might be able to upgrade to add a sub woofer or rear speaker if you wanted later down the line. Even at $800, soundbars don’t even check all those out. LOL. And then on top of that, some brands don’t work well with other brands so you are even more fucked. So now you have to buy $1,200 soundbar just to be able to enjoy and have a piece of mind that what you bought is actually worth it. Mind you, I’m speaking in Canadian dollars with Black Friday sales :)
@@zureai thank you very much for your insight. I’m so used to seeing Sony soundbars which cost between $100 to $250 at Target and Walmart
Not impressed at all, just average sound, not a major improvement over my LG C1 tv set , not worth the money AT ALL!
and btw : it messes up all remotes already existing, I stop being able to turn on/off the tv with my sky remote as well as the controling the audio.
How you do a product review and not actually demo the sound bar is beyond me. You think we want to see you talk for 4 minutes? Don't recommend channel. Bye.
BT 4.2!? Wth
Way Overpriced, as all Bose Items are. $499 is way over priced, especially with no Base Speaker.
Waiting for my order
And no Bluetooth 5! I have ordered it anyway
Who cares about bluetooth 😂.. I have 700 and I have never used bluetooth.. You have spotify connect, chromecast and airplay.. So much better then bluetooth
