Review on πŸ”Š Premium Bose Smart Soundbar 700 with Alexa Voice Control and Bluetooth Connectivity, in Black by John Clark

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great sound but the Alexa integration is a mess. CANNOT be added to Alexa speaker groups!

Very impressed with the surround sound experience, even with just the soundbar. And setting up the soundbar in the app along with the Alexa integration was pretty easy. If this is going to be your only Alexa device, this is a winner. The rubber remote control is a bit strange but really smart design. And the soundbar itself looks great. However, if you already own multiple smart speakers, avoid this product until their programming is fixed. One of my soundbars registers as 3 separate devices in the Alexa app for some reason, so it's quite difficult to control it. Also, and this is a big issue for me, you can't currently connect this stereo to Alexa groups. Hoping to play synced music on both your stereo and the Echo Spot in your bedroom? Sorry, that's not an option. For the money they're charging for this soundbar, you'd think they'd fix all the bugs. I would not currently recommend buying integrated Bose/Alexa products. Either wait for the next generation or just get some Sonos speakers.

Pros
  • quality construction
Cons
  • boring packaging
