Just a thought: I don’t know the construction method or date of your building, but having lived in 1930s builds with plaster and wood walls/floors, I can tell you a sub and any rear-firing speakers are gonna carry through to another unit if your building isn’t good at sound dampening already. Or if

Tbh, the size of a soundbar can be a bit deceiving. I've had both the Beam 2 & Core 200. The core 200 definitely has the volume and power over the Beam. However another one I tried before was the Bose Smart 600 soundbar which is very similar in size to the Beam 2. That Bose Smart Soundbar I felt got

This. OP, like you, I recently wanted to upgrade my soundbars. I tried the Sonos Beam Gen 2 and Sub Mini combo that everyone raves about (also caught it on sale a couple months back). The software and app is really lacking in quality and connectivity. The app took a while to recognize my sub and som

It looks like you have the stand mounted on the lowest setting and will need to rescrew it to create enough clearance for the bar if that is the case. Look into small acoustic foam pads to place under the bar. That way it will clear the centre stand and you may get some marginal improvements to audi

I'm sorry, I don't remember what specific video it was... But, boy howdy, goodness knows there's no shortage of Bose related videos to be had. Ignore the official one's from Bose corporate... they're full of shit. Sites like Digital Trends with Caleb Dennison are excellent. Even if he's not talking

Congrats on your purchase. I have the predecessor, the Bose 600 and like it, I added the sub and rear speakers overtime and am pleased with each piece.

HI. Ive got the Philips TV 75PUT8265/79 and BOSE Smart Soundbar 600 … sometimes the TV won’t talk to the sound bar… there is a notification on the bottom right of screen about switch audio back to TV speakers. The easy fix ive found is disconnect power to both sound bar and TV count to 30 and plug b

Neither will really provide impressive amounts of bass, the Sonos might be a little bit bassier, but the Bose will provide a much cleaner & detailed sound by miles. Plus the Bose 600 gets significantly louder than the Beam 2 does.

I’m in a similar boat. I tried a friends Bose 700 for a few days and found the app to be super buggy and always disconnected. I can’t decide between momentum 4, hdb630, WH-1000XM6 and QC Ultra 2. I mainly want good ANC when in office and good sound quality. I found the sound on the Bose 600 to be ok
