Our verdict

A compact smart soundbar with Atmos height, wide streaming support and Alexa voice control over the TV. With no subwoofer in the box, deep bass is limited in larger rooms.

Overview

Bose fits five speakers, two of them firing upward, into a compact Smart Soundbar to spread Dolby Atmos sound left, right, forward and overhead. TrueSpace upmixes stereo and other non-Atmos signals so regular TV also gets the wider effect.

Atmos height from a compact bar, plus Alexa control of the TV and cable box, make it a capable living room hub. Bass comes from the bar alone, since no subwoofer is in the box, so low end has limits in a bigger room.

Who it's for

Suited to apartments and mid-size living rooms where one compact bar must handle movies, music and voice commands. Owners of large open spaces seeking deep bass will need added Bose speakers.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Upward drivers for Atmos height
  • TrueSpace upmixes non-Atmos content
  • Alexa controls TV and cable box
  • HDMI and optical cables included
Cons
  • No subwoofer in the box
  • No rear speakers included
  • Wall bracket not listed
  • Google Assistant needs a separate device

Performance notes

Overhead effects come from the upward firing transducers reflecting sound off the ceiling, so ceiling height and material shape the result. TrueSpace analyzes non-Atmos signals and spreads them across more channels, which widens ordinary TV sound. Bass depends on the compact cabinet unless other Bose speakers are added.
