@@TechSteve which one is better soynd bar 300 or 500?
@wilys I haven’t used the 500
FANTASTIC REVIEW!! I cannot thank you enough! I almost bought another soundbar and I would have regret it dearly!! I am now enjoying the best sound of Bose 300 :D
As usual an excellent review. I bought the sound bar based on your recommendation. And you’re absolutely correct. It is fantastic. There are Bose lovers and Bose haters. I am a Bose lover. You gave very good instructions. The only problem I had was when I first plugged it in to power, I did not get that tone that you were talking about right away. It turned out I did not have the power cord all the way in to the Bose. After I got it in it’s still took about a minute. But just in time to watch Saturday night live.
@larry that fantastic, I’m glad you like it👍🏽
Hi Steve, thanks a lot for the great video!
I am thinking of buying my own, still having some questions, though:
1) Since the Soundbar is connected via wifi with my homenetwork, is it able to stream internet radio, and streaming services like netflix, amazon prime and youtube?
2) My (quite old) TV doesn't have an optical input. How can I get great sound for gaming, if the HDMI input is used by the TV (would it work to connect gamingconsole with TV and TV with soundbar?)
3) Is it only possible to connect with other Bose speakers? I do have two Teufel boomster go at home. Could I connect them and use them as RearSpeakers?
Thanks a lot for your help!
This sound bar sounds good. I had to do it for a patient of mine. (I’m a visiting nurse) we had to use the optic cable and it works great! Thank you for your help!
Great story, thanks for watching
I'm planning to try this model.
but, for example, I already set the prefer treble and bass on the music app,
will Treble and Bass stays on the same settings I made even losing connection with the Bose Music App for a long time? will it keep that settings? or do I need to set it all the time?
Thanks for your response.
Loved your review!
Great video. Got one of these coming today:)
I want to send you a big thumbs up 👍👍, I got mine the other day, went through the set up, good to go but sound was sounding on the flat side, however, after making some adjustments on my phone, went back and change the settings on my Xbox, and now everything is crystal clear, bass include, and above all, my video games, movie, TV, I hear everything, and I do mean everything. In my man cave, it's just a matter of sitting down with your snacks and enjoy all the sounds sitting right there in the room, I must admit it's amazingly impressed, relax and enjoy.
You’re welcome
I have 3 google minis around the house that play all the same music at once... will this do the same? Will it come up in the google home screen as a 4th device compatible to be a 4th speaker for music?
This is a fantastic soundbar! I bought it for my RV originally but decided to put it in the house due to the app needing wifi to work. I wish Bose would have given this a better remote that didn't require the app, so I ended up installing my Bose Solo 5 in the RV instead. The sound between the two is night and day though, so I really miss it in the RV.
Can you program a universal TV remote to control the volume when you’re using the optical port from tv? I only have 2 HDMI ports on my TV, so I’d rather not take up 1 of 2 ports for that. Still need a streaming box and a Blu-ray (yes I still use it lol) or gaming system
Great video, Steve. This speaker is awesome! But, coming from Bose, that's no surprise. They've been building cool audio for years. I have a Bose audio system in my GMC Pickup and it kicks ass! Keep up the good work.
@Stephen Moxley thanks for sharing your experience. I bet that GMC sound is amazing!
@@TechSteve hello steve my boss 300 sound bar have problems with the power supply even though I by a new cable to replace still doesn't show the light on so do you have any knowledge that can help thanks
for two years with my sammy tv I have had the Sony HTC 800. it's decent. any thoughts?
Great video. I’ll be getting the 300. Thanks for posting.
You’re welcome
Question about the small rear speakers to add surround sound…
Are these almost like tweeters? I’m finding very little sound actually coming out of them!
Thank you so much! Thanks to you, I'm now getting the features that I expected. Using HDMI ARC connection instead of the included cable, plus Alexa instead of Google. I'm loving this sound bar now!! 3:43
Happy to help
hi Steven , I nee your help, problem sounder 300.
I have a white light left to right and don't given access to noting, place can you help me?
Nice job! I think I will order the 300 for our new TV. Was thinking we'd go with SONOS, but this is a better fit for me I think. Thanks Steve.
Wow, best review for Bose smart sound bar 300
Best soundbar. 👌
Is there a way to connect the soundbar 300 via bluetooth to a desktop PC? Mine keeps asking for a pin but I can't find it. It's not 0000. I tried that one.
This soundbar sounds very impressive for it's size. When you add the subwoofer it just takes it to a whole level above great. This reviewer is spot on. 👌
I appreciate it Victor
Which Bose series subwoofer should I add? I just bought the 300 smart sound bar for my gf. Looking to add a sub
@@hurt1704 get the 500
@@darrenhatten3830 does the sub really improve the sound? I love the sound bar. Just needs a little bass
Great review! With the app can you use bluetooth earbuds and the 300 simultaneously? If so, can the volume be adjusted on both? Thanks!
Hi Steve, this sound bar is good in my price range. I live in a room in someone else’s house so I’m not in a master bedroom. So another thing you should know is I don’t have room to place a subwoofer. So, will this soundbar be good for me by itself meaning without a subwoofer and even if it doesn’t have Dolby Atmos? I don’t use Netflix, but I have a good sized 4K UHD disc collection, some of which does have Dolby atmos in its sound codecs. I also don’t use Alexa. Never been my thing. Thank you
Good thing i like about my tv , when i plugd my bose solo series 2 in the tv programed the volume and all on it onw
Great video! Thank for that. I have an issue though with my soundbar... I can’t get the tv sound to the soundbar via hdmi arc… only the optical works. I use Netflix and my Tv model is the LG UK6100… any help would be appreciated…thank you!
I read somewhere optical is the only way this bar will support Dolby digital. I also read in general optical won’t play Dolby and it will switch it to a 2.1 system even if you have a 3.1 system. Also I’m not sure to use bitstream or psm
Is the 300 also good for listening to Music? I have a bose docking station is the 300 better?
When did this Bose Smart Soundbar 300 release, and what size TV is that at 07:19? Thxxxx
Were there any issues connecting a IPOD Touch to it via Bluetooth?
Hi Steve... I have brought This model from bose.And unfortunately used for few month already.. But now seem faulty I don't know what's wrong.Is can't connect to the tv.. What should I do? Thnaks
Is the sound bar having built in features of Alexa or Google, so we have to buy separately those devices.
Great review..I am looking to buy this one. I have a 'JBL Flip 3' and the Bass produced by that is enough for me. In that case can Bise soundbar 300 is ok in Bass perspective? Mean can this produce the Bass as JBL flip 3?
Hey Steve! Your instructional video on Bose Soundbar 300 was clear, concise and highly informative. Really appreciate you sharing your expertise. I am wondering if I can pair my Soundbar 300 with my SoundTouch 10 speakers? Tried without success. Can you advise?
I think you sold me on this. Love the video!
I meant to add this- the quality of the video, sound recording, the information you shared, your manner of speaking, etc are all fantastic. A top-notch presentation, man!
I really appreciate it
Hopefully a quick answer: I got this and the 500 base module for $800. I definitely prefer a soundbar setup, so that of the way, would a ATMOS soundbar from Sony, Samsung etc at the same price range be a better option? Or do you think I’d be sacrificing actual sound quality for the object-based sound?
Kind of answered my own question. I went to Best Buy and played the demos on this and Samsung / Sony with ATMOS and priced around $700 before discounts. ATMOS cannot be demonstrated in a Best Buy with a super high ceiling, but the sound quality itself was definitively better on the Bose Smart Soundbar 300. Seeing as how ATMOS won’t be working in all content, you get better sound from this Bose than its ATMOS competitors most of the time, if not at all times.
wow amazing video thank you very much sir super high quality!!!!!!
You’re welcome David
Hey Steve, question so whenever my tv turns on my soundbar takes like around 7 seconds for the sound to start coming in? Is that normal? Before the sound would come on right away. It synced already to the tv so I don’t get why it takes long? I know it’s not that big of a deal but i just want the sound to start right away like before?
I have experience that with HDMI ARC, if you’re using optic sync it has to sense the signal then it turns on
hi, my grandmother told me to buy a soundbar and help them install the soundbar, they dont have internet at home, is there any way to setup without wifi with the bose app, or if I use the bose app and make a hotspot on my iphone to get a "wifi", they only want better sound and guest can use bluetooth to play music without wifi// thomas palm
Excellent video
Hi again Steve,
Case scenario : Can I use the Bose Sounbar as a Bluetooth speaker output from my Amazon FireStick? And if so, I guess I could choose from the FireStick Bluetooth headphones in place of the Sounbar, switching from the headphones to the Sounbar as I please?
Thanks!
I haven’t tried but it’s possible because it is a Bluetooth speaker.
Thanks Steve, your review has sold it to me, we have a Panasonic sound bar where there appears to be little or no clarity on voices in TV dramas, and my wife is forever re winding or asking me what was said !!! I’m a man and can’t multi task ie listen and speak at the same time, hopefully the Bose 300 will allow me to watch TV in peace. I’ve just ordered it from Amazon and will arrive Tuesday, hopefully post an update for you.
Thanks once again Steve for your clear and comprehensive assessment of the Bose 300

Once you get the app setup turn on dialogue mode and it’s great
@@TechSteve Steve, is it possible to turn on dialogue without the app? I bought my gf this sound bar for Christmas and we aren’t using the app. We don’t need or use all the extra smart options so to say
Not that’s I’m aware of, putting everything on the app was a terrible design
@@TechSteve Hi Steve, soundbar is great, we brought the surround speakers as well, wasn’t to sure about them at first as the sound from rear speakers was so quite, I contacted Bose and they couldn’t help with the lack of volume, I then found out by mistake how to get the full surround when I turned off the Dialogue switch to off and hey presto the surround sound is incredible. Shame Bose doesn’t show this in their instructions when buying rear speakers
@@TechSteve i agree. That’s a bummer
Does this Soundbar support eARC? Thank you.
I have Sony TV which are about 6-7 years old with 4 HDMI port, but on none of HDMI port wrote HDMI ARC, what shall I do.
I have tried to all HDMI port connection, but no sound.
How does this compare to the soundtouch 300?
Thank you for this video. How does Alexa/Google assistant work? I don’t have any of the products (Echo Dot etc), can I still use Alexa with the soundbar?
I showed how to connect, you can ask questions just like the dot
Hi Steve! I got the 700 and i have earc issues; the tv doesnt detect the earc from time to time. My tv is samsung q70t. Do you have any idea why? Thanks!
Not really, try to go to source, connect guide, audio device and go thru the HDMI eARC setup, this may stop it from switching off with auto mode
Great video.
The amber light doesn't stop blinking on my Bose 300. I don't know what to do to make it stop blinking. Any quick suggestions? Any would be appreciated. If I can't get it to stop I will just give it back.
I would look up the manual online
Hey Tech Steve. Very helpful video. Thank you. One question: can you have the optical cable and the HDMI plugged in simultaneously and switch between the two?
Yes
@@TechSteve I have another question, related to the above. Can I listen to the optical input (say a CD player) and listen to it to another Bose speaker (say a portable bose speaker in my garden)?
It doesn’t work like that
@@TechSteve thanks for the answer
I like the review It's tough to decide the feature to prioritize over various peers in multiple sizes.
I think this is the best value for new models unless you want a sub
Hi Steve, any experience with Sonos soundbars? I’m considering this Bose soundbar vs Sonos Beam 2nd Gen. Both quite different connectivity with their Subs (Bluetooth vs Wifi). Bose has always been quality, but it seems that Sonos is getting more with innovation lately. Any input from your experience in testing and tech?
I only tested the sonos one with google
I have a question are The Tu7000 and all 7 series Tv work on ps5 with 120 frame?
This video will answer your question ua-cam.com/video/xm_BwTdB3Mo/v-deo.html
Does it always have to be connected to wifi to use it and control it fully? Do you know if this applies to the other bose soundbars? We don't have wifi at our house due to lack of access.
This is a “smart” model and you need WiFi and the app to access features
Hi Steve, what are your proper setting on Center, bass, treble soundbar and also bass module set for music and movies. Thanks in advance!
It’s what ever sound good to you,
Steve, great video. How would this soundbar work in a room that is 15 x 20 - under neath our new Samsung 65" tv???
It get pretty loud, if you live in a house i would get one with a subwoofer
Great video! I have the 700 and it is so sweet
Thanks also an amazing speaker 👍🏽

Hi,
Does this soundbar needs to be connected to wifi constantly all the time to produce sound or is it only necessary during set up process and changing settings.
If I remember correctly it needed wifi and the app
Thanks for the review on this BOSE Soundbar..I was looking at this one to pair with my TCL 43" Roku Tv.Its $400 @ BEST BUY.I was hopinb that you would do a review on this soundbarCan you do a saundbar review on the TCL ALTO 6+ 2.1 & the 7+2,1.I am also looking at thexe 2 soundbars also.BEST BUY has a combo deal The TCL 43"4K UHD,4'4k HDMI cable & the TCL ALTO 6+2.1 soundbar tor just over $450
What is the difference between t300 and the tv speaker
Bose soundbar 300 + module 500 vs JBL 9.1? I'm down to these two
Hi Steve. Thanks for the review in great detail. Have you heard of the Sonos beam gen 2? I was wondering overall which is better soundbar in your opinion. It would be interesting to hear your take on it. I have always gone Bose but recently someone was talking to me about switching because the claim was that Sonos was better quality but and I’m not sure. Let me know what you think. Thank you
I only have what you see in videos, I don’t work for a company
hello, thanks for the video. what do you do with your old gear, do you sell it, give it away...etc. what's the best way to get rid of equipment when making updates? thanks again for sharing and have a great day.
It’s a top secret
Hi Steve, does it do self update?
Can I use HDMI arc out from my receiver to the sound bar and control it through there.
No you need the app
Great video! I’m thinking of getting one of these, Do you know if I can pair my HomePod to make a stereo pair?
Home pod requires apple products
Thanks for the great review, just one question - are you saying you cannot use this without connecting to WiFi and signing up for a Bose account?
I'm looking for a "basic" setup for my TV and was considering this over the Bose tv speaker because of the better sound quality but don't want another smart device at home connecting to the internet and all that.
I couldn’t get it to work but this is a older video
Thanks for the video, I have just ordered the Bose Smart Soundar 300 today and will deliver on couple of days! Hope this is helpful for me. Would appreciate if you can give me a suggestion about how to set up the soundbar without TV 📺?
Follow the same steps in the video
I just added outside under my deck/porch in back yard connected to outside tv. Will I be okay?? I’m nervous amount elements. Maybe you can recommend a cover.
It’s not an outside speaker
@@TechSteve thanks. I just bought outside speaker covers. Hopefully that will help protect it. www.coversandall.com/outdoor-speaker-covers.html
Question ..is the 300 better than the solo 5 and does it do more or its just the speakers? Tks
I have a video on both
For some reason i csnt connect to Bluetooth, it keeps blinking a white light and it doesn't turn off or ON? I need help someone plz ?
Hi Steve my tv will not automatically connect or use this sound bar when I turn on my tv and many times it won't give sound, it seems sporadic? Any ideas?
It happens to me too
What HDMI cable do you recommend I use? I have the same Bose sound bar connected to my tv with HDMI but it is causing my tv to turn on by itself and not sure if there is any cable or setting that I can use or change?
I doubt it’s the cable
What do you recommend I do? I would appreciate any ideas on how to fix the problem. It only happens with the Bose sound bar.
Hi, Steve! Been looking for the best EQ setup for this sound bar. What is your recommendation? Thanks in advance!
? It just says bass and treble, you choose
I have mine at 80 bass and negative 70 on treble for movies. For music, i prefer negative 10 or 20 on treble with same bass. I currently do not have a bass module.
So how does this sound without the subwoofer I’m looking at getting one. I like to watch movies and tv loud. Just hoping the base is good enough.
Hello! Can you tell me please how u have eq on the bose app ? I never see eq in my app. I use soundbar 300. Thank you !
Adjust to what works for you, there’s no perfect settings
@@TechSteve can you help me with a problem with alexa on tv if you know about that ? I really need help and i will pay for your help.
Hi Steve,Great video.
I purchased the product and have one question…. The tone from the speaker that comes on at the initial power up,is that the only time you hear that tone?
Thank u in advance.
Great Video!
Is the bass input only for bose products?
Is bose virtually invisible 300 the same as bose surround speakers? I can' t find any answers from bose site.
No, so they have been out of both the 300 and 700 surround speakers, the 300 cost 300 dollars and the 700 cost 500, I have been looking for a year trying to buy these and finally today I bought them, the 700 surround is supposed to be a lot better, you can't buy them on the website yet you need to call them and order them I would do it soon since there have been a lot of people waiting and they told me they have 70 something to sell
I loved this review. Can you please do some reviews on Klipsch soundbars? I am debating on whether to get a Klipsch Cinema 400 vs this soundbar.
I don’t have any soundbar videos planned at the moment
Good information and well presented.
I have 2 bose sound link portable speakers. Can this be used with the soundtouch 300 as surround sound speakers?
You will have to check bose website
Very helpful video Steve. This is the soundbar I'm aiming for. Coincidentally it looks a great fit under that TV. Is the TV 43" by the way?
Yes it a 43” Samsung Q60T
@@TechSteve - fantastic! Mine's the 43" TU7000 😊
Excellent review!! Can the device be controlled by alternative remotes? Mainly for volume control.
I haven’t tried, i use HDMI ARC for volume and the app for control and adjustments
Does this work without tv? I was thinking on using it only for music at the store
Yes, but you need the app to control it.
Notice you have compared the Bose TV Speaker with the old Solo 5, but not versus the 300. Have a Bose TV speaker in living room (as well as 500 Bass Module) wondering if worth upgrading TV Speaker to 300. Think worth it?
I would keep what you have, using the app to change levels is a deal breaker
@@TechSteve yeah but TV Speaker wont connect Bose Music...they say it does in manual but doesn't. 300 and up all work Bose Music though.
I think you answer your own question
Can i use this on a PC as i have Optical cable on my soundcard?
Yes but it still requires the app
Hi there, my soundbar 300 just has a white light flashing and doesn’t want to connect to anything, what do I do?
I would look at the manual, my demo unit is gone
Steve you have really helped me with my recent buys. I have bought a Samsung q60t because of your review and we love it. We bought it at Costco and also bought a Samsung budget sound bar HW-T50M
. We are disappointed in the voice quality as the voice seems a bit muffled when mixed with movie sounds. What is your thoughts on Bose 300 compared to Bose 5 sound bars. I know they hit different price points but is the 300 much better than the Solo 5? ( 300 is double the price of Solo 5 here in Canada). Thanks
The Bose 300 all day every day. I’m using it as my personal audio and it’s so clear plus i like the Alexa feature, music anytime without the use of my phone or tv app. Price vs performance
@@TechSteve Thanks for the quick reply once again Steve! One more quick question if I could. have you had a chance to review the Sonos Beam vs the 300? It's the same price point as the 300 and has been getting good reviews as well. thanks value your opinion.
@bobThat last Sonos video I didn’t get many views, I can’t justify spending another $400 all my Bose videos do well to help more people. Look at this one for example 1yr old ua-cam.com/video/gXiaZSnAyjI/v-deo.html
@Bob I just looked and the Sonos views are still low on UA-cam
Does Alexa require an external device to work, or does it have a Mic in the spearker?
Nope, it’s self contained
Hi Tech Steve, I am about to purchase the Bose, and you have influenced me in making my decision. One more question if I may. Does internet speed influence the performance of the unit. Is there a minimum requirement. Many thanks. Terry Davis
I don’t thinks so, but I have 250Gbps so I have no way to test on slower connections
Hi Tech Steve, thanks again. I will try it and see what happens.
Hello 👋🏾 can you do the JBL 9.1 sound bar , I wish for a more detailed video please.

Hi, I want to use this Sound Bar 300 to setup my karaoke system.
Smart TV > Digital Converter ,> Pyle brand mixer > Sound Bar.
The problem is from the mixer it has Aux Audio out nut the Sound Bar has only Optical in, no Aux Audio in. So we how we can do to get the Sound.
So far, I got no sound at all and I am planning to return the Sound Bar.
Thanks
I would get PA speakers not a sound bar
Can you recommend me any PA speakers , please ?
Nah that’s not what I do, however my DJ friend uses JBL.
I have one of these. It's fine as a basic soundbar but I couldn't recommend it as a Google Assistant device because (a) The Assistant voice is three times louder than the media volume (WHY??) and there's no independent volume control (b) playing BBC radio is unreliable and Google will often say it can't find the station, which rarely happens on other Google devices and (c) when the TV switches on, the input doesn't switch back from the external device until you do this in the app - not very "smart" in my book!
Awesome video! So this can pair with other speakers? To get a full surround sound
Yes, Bose surround speakers $300

I had the samsung soundbar from Costco, the one that's 500 bucks but on sale for like 350 or something, and it was ok I mean the soundbar was cool but the surround and bass speakers I didn't like. Right now I have the soundbar 300 from Bose, not this one because this one is smart 300 mine is just 300 I guess I know it's weird. But this soundbar sounds amazing really the only difference supposedly from mine and the 700 I don't have Alexa built in but it sounds awesome and might be a more affordable option for you! I am going to be getting the new 900 with dolby atmos so I'll be selling mine still has like at least a year warranty, maybe 300 I'll sell it or maybe less idk
