The Bose Smart Soundbar is designed for customers looking for better performance for all their movies, music, and gaming. The compact soundbar provides spacious/immersive sound leveraging Dolby Atmos decoding. And for non-Atmos encoded content, Bose TrueSpace spatial processing provides an immersive experience. Plus, all the dialogue will be amazingly clear and crisp with A.I. Dialogue Mode, which automatically senses when dialogue is occurring and adjusts the tonal balance to improve the clarity of spoken words in all content without sacrificing immersive elements and effects.

Voice control comes built-in via Amazon Alexa (where available). Or you can connect Smart Soundbar with a Google Home device to access Google Assistant. Not just for movies and TV, the soundbar can also stream all your music via Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi®, Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, and Spotify Connect.

The soundbar is part of the Bose Smart Home family of products that you can group together for a whole-home, multi-room listening experience. It’s packed with other Bose exclusive technologies like Voice4Video technology, which gets you to your favorite shows with one simple voice command, and Bose SimpleSync, which lets you connect the soundbar with compatible Bose headphones or Bose Bluetooth® speakers.

While the Bose Smart Soundbar sounds great by itself, you can add an optional wireless Bose bass module and/or wireless Bose surround speakers to get even more performance and a full 5.1 experience. You can even pair it with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds for a personal surround experience, where the earbuds add an immersive layer to the dynamic audio your soundbar delivers. 

The Smart Soundbar is similar in many ways to the Smart Soundbar 600, but has A.I. Dialogue Mode that automatically senses when dialogue is occurring and adjusts the tonal balance to improve the clarity of spoken words in all content without sacrificing immersive elements and effects. It also has the Personal Surround feature, which allows you to pair the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds with your soundbar to add new dimension to your movies and TV. Acting as rear surround speakers, the open earbuds add an immersive layer to the dynamic audio your soundbar delivers. 

A.I. is implemented to allow your soundbar to know the difference between spoken word/speech and other sounds that fall within the same frequency range. This allows your content to present clearer dialogue that can otherwise be overpowered by accompanying background effects. Rather than simply reducing background effects and increasing center-channel content (a one-time adjustment regardless of content), A.I. Dialogue Mode ensures you can more clearly hear the dialogue in your video content dynamically throughout your viewing experience and as your viewing content changes. 

Yes. For those who prefer to have dialogue resemble the original production intent, A.I. Dialogue Mode is enabled and disabled using the Bose App. 

No. Currently processing capability in the soundbar electronics is limited to providing Personal Surround to one listener.

Personal Surround is a unique feature to open-ear listening only, because it allows the listener to hear their soundbar as they normally would; headphones or earbuds will occlude your ear from hearing the soundbar and therefore prevent a three-dimensional surround experience.

SimpleSync is a great way to hear all your video content, in stereo, through a pair of Bose headphones, earbuds, or open earbuds. Resembling the “grouping” feature where audio can be shared across Bose products, you can listen to your video content through a Bose wearable product when you don’t want to disturb others with your video. Personal Surround, on the other hand, uses the benefit of an open earbud to act as supplementary audio experience to the Bose Smart Soundbar, as if you had surround speakers installed in the room. As such, the effect that the Ultra Open Earbuds are providing is a subtle accompaniment to the primary content, like surround speakers offer in a home theater, bringing more dimension to explosions, soft wind noises, whispers, etc. that may be in your video content.

Elevate every experience

Dolby Atmos, exclusive Bose TrueSpace technology, and upward-firing transducers deliver shockingly immersive sound for a soundbar of this size.

Dolby Atmos & Bose TrueSpace

Dolby Atmos is a game changer for bringing cinema-like immersion into your living room. But while the library is growing, most content is not Atmos-encoded. For full immersion all the time, there’s Bose TrueSpace technology. It intelligently analyzes what you’re watching and upmixes signals other than Atmos to create a multi-channel experience. So even 5.1 and stereo content get an added layer of immersion and realistic height effects.¹

A.I. Dialogue Mode

No more too loud commercials, too quiet whispers, and riding the remote between hearing the plot and feeling the action. A.I. Dialogue Mode automatically balances voice and surround sound for ultra-crisp vocal clarity — so you hear speech clearly without sacrificing the immersive elements and effects of a cinematic soundbar experience. Rewind less, enjoy more.

One app. Total control.

The Bose App holds the key to the best user experience possible, ensuring optimal functionality with regular software updates and access to the latest features. But that’s just the beginning — see how the Bose App maximizes everything your soundbar has to offer.

  • Quick and easy guided setup
  • Set preferences and shortcuts
  • Select and access voice assistants
  • Group compatible Bose products via Wi-Fi® or SimpleSync
  • Personalize sound settings like Adjustable EQ and A.I. Dialogue Mode

Available on the App Store and Google Play.

Personal Surround Sound. Theater-like immersion.

While Smart Soundbar delivers impressive immersion on its own, achieving true surround sound typically requires investing in a full home theater system. Enter Personal Surround Sound, a breakthrough innovation that allows an individual user to pair Smart Soundbar with Bose Ultra Open Earbuds (sold separately) for amplified immersion — without additional equipment or setup.


This cutting-edge feature puts you in the center of the onscreen action, adding new dimension that makes subtle details come alive. The wind whips around you during a storm. The crackling campfire feels so real you can practically taste s’mores. With Personal Surround Sound, you can escape into a story anytime you want and enjoy a cinematic experience from the comfort of your living room.²

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I purchased this due to my husband and I getting older and not being able to hear crisp sounds and words while watching tv without cranking up the volume. The Bose sound bar makes everything so clear at the regular volume I feel as if I have hearing aids!
