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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great sound, difficult setup

Soundbar, bass module and surround speakers ordered. This is an update of the old simplified Bose sound system. The sound of the 700 and its components is simply fantastic, there is nothing to complain about. I was also able to program the universal remote for my devices fairly easily. What keeps me from giving a five star review is the attitude. The app is buggy, I had to restart it several times (I'm running it on a Samsung Note 8) and the number of recommendations the app gives isn't great. For example, I opened the box with the surround speakers and inside there were parts and cables but no instructions. The app just said you need to connect your speakers to set them up. Given all the parts, it's not as easy as you might think. I recommend everyone to go to each product on the Bose website and download the full PDF manual. This greatly simplifies the whole process. A full user manual for the universal remote control can also be found in the soundbar PDF. Perhaps Bose should be given clear instructions when unzipping PDF downloads.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
