Bose is back in your living room, and Sonos should be worried
Went to buy two of these and found they won't work with my Soundbar 900. Not buying a new, slightly updated Soundbar for $1,100 on top of it so no sale for BOSE. As a guy who owns a lot of BOSE items, I'm really getting annoyed that nothing works together.

I Pulled the trigger! Who else is getting one?
Nope, I am done with Bose. Bought a Soundbar 900 plus a Sub 700 a while ago and was waiting for more up to date satellites than the garbage 700. Now everything is not backward compatible anymore. I am looking for another brand to replace the mentioned stuff.

I would’ve ordered a pair of these this morning if they were compatible with my soundbar 900. I hope Bose gets roasted for this.

How many of you with ultra smart soundbar will upgrade to lifestyle ultra?
I have the soundbar 900 w bass module 700 and won’t be moving to the lifestyle. I’m not interested in spending money to get stuck with another system that can’t be upgraded or expanded when Bose changes course again in three years. The lifestyle bass module is the 700 with updated radio receivers fo

Its official now.
Nope and the new surrounds and sub aren't wirelessly compatible with the 700, 900 or Ultra soundbar. I bought a soundbar 900 and bass module 700 with hopes that I could add atmos capable surrounds, but it ain't going to happen. I'll keep my current setup and will look elsewhere when it's time for so

Agreed. I have the soundbar 900 with bass module 700 and I've been holding out for surrounds that aren't 20 year old, home theater in a box technology. I can't justify buying a new $2,600 system from Bose just so I can get good surrounds. If I'm going to buy a new system, I'm going to buy something

Bose surround 700 speakers worth $599 ? Honest reviews
I tried and returned them. They sound thin/anemic, even if you can get the volume up to a desirable level. No upward firing drivers, so sound at the rear of the room is linear compared to the high and wide sound produced by my soundbar 900. Also, they come with a mess of wiring and external power br

No backwards compatibility for new lifestyle surround speakers
Only Bose can say for sure, but my guess is they’re processing a single channel sent to the rear. The 700s were designed and sold as part of the 2016 lifestyle 5.1 system. They’re just a variation on Boses previous direct reflecting cube speakers sold with their earlier lifestyle and acoustimass sys

J'ai acheté la barre de son l'année dernière jamais je ne passerai a la lifestyle, qui en plus ne changera rien quasiment (marketing). J'ai le caisson 300 : exactement le même que le 700 quand on utilise l'application Bose et plus celle de (soundtouch 300). A partir de la le caisson est super bien e

New Home Theater System?
When I first saw the email, I was hoping it would be new surround speakers. I have the soundbar 900 with bass module 700 and have been dying for real surrounds. I tried the surround 700s and they didn't add enough to justify keeping them. Bose hasn't developed much for home music/movies in the last
