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

Its official now.

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

Are the surround speakers 700 discontinued ?

I thought they were discontinued, but someone posted that Bose said they’re temporarily out of stock. I’ve been waiting for decent surrounds for three years. I tried the 700s w my soundbar 900/bass module 700 and was disappointed with their sound. I returned them after just a couple of days. Bose ha

Bose Ultra Soundbar is WILD ‼️

It's annoying, but I just switch my Blu Ray player to LPCM output and can use my Bose soundbar 900 with DTS discs.

Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar recently updated

Bose used to do a better job at making firmware info available, but it seems they stopped last year. The last update I see for the Ultra is version 6. I have the soundbar 900 and same thing…the site info is outdated.

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
