I Pulled the trigger! Who else is getting one?
Same. I have the smart ultra soundbar and 700 sub. I was holding out for decent surrounds. Then when the new rears were announced, I was cheering. However, to screw their loyal customer base, Bose decide not to make any of the lifestyle range backwards compatible. Seeee yaaa Bose. I’m going to upgra

Bose is back in your living room, and Sonos should be worried
Just read that these are not compatible to prior Bose surround speakers which sucks. Bose might be shooting itself on the foot with this one. I currently have an smart ultra soundbar and a 700 sub and was looking to add surround speakers. Now that they've released this, I'm not too sure anymore if I

Its official now.
This is extremely disappointing and they’ve definitely missed the mark on this one. I have the smart ultra soundbar and would 100% buy these if they were compatible. But now… sorry Bose, but I’m going to buy another brand.

Fuck Bluetooth
When the Twitter porn connects to a Bose Smart Ultra soundbar with a 700 series bass module and surround speakers all around, you feel that in your nuggets. “Supercharged and immersive” indeed. Maybe that’s why they changed the name to X.

The surrounds do sound like a huge improvement. Regarding the Bass Module, I'm pretty disappointed. It’s the same driver, just with improved connection and better optimization with the new lifestyle soundbar. The soundbar seems to be an upgrade based on the Smart Ultra Soundbar. However older produc

How many of you with ultra smart soundbar will upgrade to lifestyle ultra?
Upgraded from Bose Smart Ultra to the new Lifestyle Ultra — sharing what I've learned Owned the Smart Ultra for about 6 months until a firmware update bricked it. Best Buy ended up offering me a fair deal to upgrade, so I paid the difference and walked out with the brand new Lifestyle Ultra (release

Here I am keeping my Bose Ultra Soundbar for years just waiting for them to finally release upward firing surrounds so I can upgrade my surround 300s, for them to not even have the ability to pair with my current soundbar and forcing me to have to upgrade. Screw Bose, this has completely taken me aw

How many of you with ultra smart soundbar will upgrade to lifestyle ultra?
I bought Smart Ultra Soundbar + Bass Module 700 over a year ago. Not gonna upgrade it anytime soon as it does it’s job just as good as it did before new Lifestyle lineup was announced so no reason for me to upgrade. I might add 300 or 700 surrounds in the future (new or used) but that’s all. I’m gon
