I was a BOSE dealer back in the day and the people who buy BOSE just wanted easy set up, reliability and good enough sound. BOSE were and still are NEVER THE BEST VALUE, ever, never but they are a "safe" buy for non audiophiles....the dealer rep I had said "BOSE, looks good, sounds good, shit don't break". BOSE preferred the dealer to display their products separately on a "Bose Wall", they DISCOURAGED A/B comparisons with other speakers.

Never been a Bose fan and was always a Bose hater but I have to admit their more lifestyle oriented soundbar solutions are incredible for what they are. They look sleek and sound great and will be a great experience for MOST people. I am a 7.1.4 dedicated atmos system guy so clearly not the target market but can respect people that want a clean simplified audio solution.

Why are people so against Bose? Not you Andrew.. people in general. Bose is for the consumer who isn’t into all of the intricacies of audio and that’s perfectly fine.

I am very happy with my Bose 500 sound bar and subwoofer. When I watched a movie like Transformer, the sound was perfect in my living room. I love Bose!

"Compared to the A9, it's _just a soundbar_ " Ouch...

12:40 ... poor Andrew... but he handled that like a champ.

Great review Andrew and Kristi! I did upgrade from the 700 to the 900 and I’m very pleased! It’s not a huge jump…but it’s definitely a wider soundstage and it gets louder. The one thing I appreciate about Bose is crystal clear clarity…this has that! I would love to own the Sony a9’s but the Bose fits much better in my space…aesthetically my taste! The 900 works seamlessly with the base module 700, and surrounds 700. I consider the Sennheiser but it’s huge and not only in price but size! IMO it’s not very attractive either…but it does sound amazing!

Thanks for sharing. I have not heard the other speakers you mentioned in this video but I have had many different high end-ish surround sound systems. Most were Sony's best traditional true 5.1 surrounds, but most recently the JBL 9.1 Soundbar. I was a little disappointed in the sound and infuriated by its horrible set up that had connection issues. I got the Bose 900 Soundbar with the 700 bass module just wanting to see if it would sound better, I figured I would be returning it. Well, I was super blown away! The sound difference is so much that they don't even seem comparable. The Bose is a whole experience. It feels like the sound is alive hearing each sound in detail and direction. I thought I would miss the lack of the rear Atmos speakers, but, the Bose actually sounds much better as you just don't hear sounds coming from the rear it feels like the sound is coming from every direction with precise location. It is hard to explain the difference. The Bose was better in every way, but what really made it shine is its perfect sound stage. My living room is not an ideal shape for surround sound, the TV is offset from seating position by about 4-5 feet so with any other system I had they never sounded right even when using calibration mic. When I did the ADAPTiQ audio calibration the difference was huge, the sound for the first time sounds correct! It's crazy as you're walking over to the couch you can actually feel that you're stepping into the sound stage, I call it getting in the zone. It's a strange but cool feeling. If you have an oddly shaped room I think this is the only one to get, none of the others can touch it when it comes to that. When I was buying the Bose I thought it was crazy the bass module cost as much as the sound bar, I also didn't want to spend that much money. But once you hear it, there is no other choice (for me). I would pay whatever the cost, it really is an experience.

I was thinking about getting bose sound bar but my wife bought me klipsch sound bar for Christmas 🎄 I am happy to see you bring soo much diversity in sound

Great review and I'm in agreement with your thoughts on the soundbar. We purchased the 900 and bass module 700 and really enjoy the setup. While comparing soundbars, we found the sonos Arc sounded fuller and more immersive but it wasn't night and day difference from the 900. Our priorities were sound, aesthetics and ease of use for everyone (big plus when kids want to watch a movie or play games). The Bose checked all of the boxes for us. Other bars sound better...no doubt, but frequency of use is an important metric when determining value. My wife and kids rarely used our prior setup, but they use the 900 a lot. We've had more family movie nights in the last three months than over the prior year.

BOSE all day all night! I traded in my Sony HT-A7000 for the Bose SB900 + 700 bass module and OMG, what a step up from the Sony. The SB900 sounds so more cinematic and I like the compact size and classy stylish design. Also the Bose Music app to do all the adjustments works great. The HT-A7000 is a bulky bar! I can't wait to get the 700 surround speakers and maybe a second 700 subwoofer, that's gonna be heaven!

Just bought the 900 from Best Buy after listening to the demos and I’m beyond excited for it to come in Wednesday.

I heard a demo of the A9, and LOVED it. I can’t for the life of me understand why it doesn’t come in black though. Especially when the sync box is black….

I got the top of the line Sony Soundbar and the Bose 900 Soundbar with the bass module 700 and I can tell you from listening, the Bose 900 and bass module 700 out did the top of the line Sony Soundbar in spacious terms, the Bose bass module 700 is freaking powerful and I’m very picky with sound. I would pick the Bose Soundbar over the Sony one any day

I remember last year you asked people to open their mind about the soundbars. With Dolby Atmos and DTS X, it opened a new world of possibilities with the hardware. The more it goes and the more a full dedicated receivers, with 5 speakers and wires all around the appart is making sense now. For the audio, we are seeing the same change we saw, with the TV when we went from the CRT to the LED.

Loving It. My Bose 900 and Sub 700 sound fantastic. Great quality

Something I’ve been thinking about recently…there is always talk about “marketing hype” when it comes to brands like Bose. Comments like overhyped, expensive, cheap are common and if I had a dollar for every “all highs, no lows, must be Bose” comments, we’d have already bought our dream home in California by now. About that phrase…I’m really curious where it originated from. Who coined it? Because for all of the “marketing hype” Bose seems to be capable of, nobody really talks about the near sabotage type tactics against them that still resonate today. I mean isn’t it time to retire that old trope by now? It would be super interesting to find out just how much has been invested in perpetuating the stereotype that has surrounded Bose for years. Anyway, just food for thought!

Funny, I haven’t considered Bose speakers in so many years. Not sure what they could do to change my mind, especially now that I own the Sony A9’s which are every bit as good as you said in your review.

Recently bought a 2nd home to spend more time with kids and grandkids. Bought a Sennheiser sound bar to go with the big screen - no basement for theater and a somewhat small living room. I love the Sennheiser, unfortunately my wife hates it- too sensitive ears. I use it when she is out of the room. Again Holy Snikies

Yes!!! Thanks for this review. I’ve been waiting to pull the trigger on either the Bose 900 and the Sony. I’m definitely going for the Sony A9 now. Thanks.

I still don’t understand why people keep comparing a soundbar to the Sony A9 which is a home theater system, not a soundbar. I don’t think it’s fair to compare them.

You should do a top 5 soundbars video.

Sound bars have definitely improved significantly over the years, but I still haven't heard any that match a competent 5.1 (or higher) traditional speaker surround system. At least going off of in store demos, and other people's soundbar setups that I've heard.

Not a Bose fan, but those speakers in the background sure do look nice...........🤭🤔🤭🤔. Thanks for the review. You guys rock as always.

I have a SoundTouch 300 just upgraded to the sound bar 900. Both are excellent ant the 900 is a substantial improvement overall. I have it paired with the Acoustimass 300 from my SoundTouch 300, which is the same as the current Aucoustimass 700 (note the Sound Bar 900 picks up the sub and it shows as a 700). The Sub sits behind a chair, totally hidden, but adds great punchy lows. One of the great advantages is just how simple and elegant the setup is. Sorry Kristi, I love the size, sleekness, black glass top etc... I think it is a work of art that tastefully slips into the surroundings of my living area and exudes quality. I absolutely dislike most of the other soundbars cheap plastic y grills and / or cloth coverings that instantly downgrade the looks of a nicely appointed living space.

After reading and watching reviews (including yours!), we bought the 900 and bass module. I’m sure there are better sounding bars, but the 900 checked the important boxes for our family. Sounds great for movies, easy to use, well made and looks classy. Not great for most music, but it works well enough for background tunes. The 900 is getting a lot more use in our household than our previous systems did. That’s the most important thing for us.

Agree with you in the dynamics of the bar... Bose has always been making small speakers which produce big sounds, which is what fascinates people(including me) and ultimately lures them into buying their products.. Don't know how they manage to pull that off

I have the bose sb 900 bm 700 and s700 and it's phenomenal.....don't plan on changing it. Bose bass is unrivaled

Bose took the 300 and 700 put them on steroids and created the 9. The 9 is in a league by itself. The 9 is immensely powerful, deep, and wide. I have been using the 3 for 3 years and love it to death. On the 9 I have the bass set at 50% because any higher setting would have my apartment vibrating. I have dual subs and combined with the bass from the 9 I am in nirvana. The musicality of the 9 is astronomical. It is excellent. I want to sit and listen to it all day. I don't know how Bose is going to top the 9. The 9 is sleek and beautiful and Bose placing their logo on the grill is an excellent touch. I don't hesitate one second putting something on full blast if it is messed up and by the same token I give credit when it is due. The Bose 9 is two thumbs up and 5 stars.

Been waiting for this I bought the 700 on your recommendation and I could not be happier

Ordered the Sony HT-A9 and not looking back

I always enjoy these reviews even when im not particularly interested in the subject. Im not in the market for a soundbar. But you never know when a friend may need a suggestion.

Why didn't you compare it with sonos arc?

So glad I waited and didn’t buy the 700 or the 900. I went with the 600 at a price of £469 gives great Dolby Atmos in movies and music. We have a medium sized living room so the other two bars would be to much for our space. If we had a bigger living room then we would have gone for the 900 love how Bose sounds looks classy and stylish. Great review of the 900 👍🏻

Another awesome review Andrew! I was wondering if you could make a video of the best home theater bundle by price range. For example, under $1k, from $1k to $3k, $3k to $5k, $5k to $10k and > 10k. This would help us a lot to make a better decision upon building a good system. Which receivers go better to which speakers and so on. Thanks!!!

Great review., thanks. I was especially interested in your comments on Dialogue Enhancement settings. This is becoming more and more important as filmmakers eschew enunciation in favor of mumbling and grumbling. Or perhaps I’m just getting older ? Naah!

I need to know the name of the black market dealer who hooked you up with the Playstation 5

I love my Bose 900 with my Acoustimas 300 and Virtually Invisible 300 surrounds. It's like watching my movies for the first time.

Lack of external hdmi ports is a deal breaker. My TV lg cx doesn't support dolby true HD passthrough through earc, a lot of TV's don't support it. So many won't get lossless atmos on the bose. Also lack of dts:X is basically a double whammy of deal breakers, since lg removed support from their newer TVs

The a9 speakers are bigger than i expected. They are the size of my r-51ms

I bought the Bose 900 here in the UK . I am not blown away at all. My old 5 yr old JBL and sub is better but does not have Atmos. £899 for this Bose and I think i should have got the Samsung q980a.

I had BOSE 135 10 years ago. It was the only sounder you can get at that moment. Without setting up the wire and installation, 135 matched me perfectly since I moved all the time. I still using 135 as my only stereo in my living room. Recently, so many new soundbars came out to the market, and I kept asking Bose if they are going to realize new sound bar which support Atmos. However, after watching the review, I decide to go to Sony A9. It seems a whole new products just like I bought 135 10 years ago.

I don't get the hate for Bose. I've still got a lifestyle surround system pushing 20 years old and it looks new. When it was my main lounge system people were always blown away by it. They are masters at room correction specific to their speakers, what people don't realise is that a lot of their sound field is designed by using your walls to bounce sound. So my system has 2 speakers at each point which sort of split in different directions, so you'd point one at your position and then one slightly away or at a back wall if surround and you get a really strong surround sound stage.

Size matters, she said :-) Thanks for the review. Now i am happy to have bought a sony HT-A9 system. Before that I already had 2 different soundbars from Sony and LG, but none of the soundbars that I had up to now can match the HT-A9 system.

I am hearing comments on connectivity issues with the Sony system. It would be nice to predict into the future of these systems if possible. Bose I know works like it is new for decades. Not sure about the Sony. Mostly not. We spend a lot of money on these and reliability is a must.

I have owned sony and jbl sound system and last week i got to own my first bose soundbar 600, its so clear and crisp. No more muffled boxy sound from sony or shady dialogue from jbl. I will be picking up a pair of surround speaker tomorrow to enhance my dolby atmos sound and in the future with budget i will get the module 500

loved the little back and forth at the end... should be done always..

My soundbar 900 has two subs and the 700 rears. My setup SLAMS hard. I had to trick the system when setting it up though. The trick is to move the subs into a nearby room so the system will have to increase its volume. Don’t hate. I dial it back. I don’t just push the subs till they smell like glue or smoke lol. I just think Bose keeps the sound system in the midrange of its capability. Idk why.

Great review always enjoy your straightforwardness. I must say my own opinion/review I’ve had all the Bose series from the 300 SoundTouch to the 500 to the 700 and now the 900. I also have Sonos Arc setup in the living room. I am so impressed with the 900 that it is remarkably clearer and produces enough bass that for my bedroom I totally do not need a subwoofer you get that thump even watching a movie with clarity that fills the room and surrounds you, just a very impressive sound bar you will not be disappointed at all if you get it.

I have to disagree with the soundbar being bigger. It already won't fit between some people's TV stands. And I think the cube surrounds sound just fine.

I have tried out so many soundbars it’s not funny. The 700 was too peaky for the bedroom and hurt my ears at normal listening levels. (Because these speakers beam that’s how they project). Same thing when I tried to put the Bose 650 in the bedroom. But works wonderfully in the living room. My solution was the B &E Soundstage for the bedroom. Incredibly smooth and detailed. Never harsh. The perfect solution in my room and no subwoofer needed or missed. The issue I have with the Sony is the speakers can’t be wall mounted. And the power cord is rated for in wall installations. The 650 is just a cleaner solution.

The problem with the A9 is that it does not exist anywhere.

BOSE SOUNDBAR IS THE BEST ，Without complex adjustment, it is easy to install and use，the sound is Great 👍

subscribed , i got your channel as recommendation , as i searched for reviews of bose 900 for the past few days, but sadly there isn't much reviews on google, but in youtube there are a lot. thanks

You are soooo right those power bricks are the worst. I have an old lifestyle 600 system that uses them too and I’ve had it for 6 years or so. How are they still a thing? Luckily I do some woodwork and have built custom walnut mounts to house the bricks.

How the Bose 900 compares with the Bang and Olufsen stage ?

I sold many Soundbar 700 (and the Soundtouch 300 that came before it, which was basically the same thing), and while they can be quite convincing with movies and the proper AdaptIQ, they usually failed to impress me with music. It sound ok with the demo songs (carefully chosen by Bose), but play most “regular” music (whatever style that is), and it fails to sound anything more than… …a soundbar! Trends made soundbars popular, and it’s amazing to see that the soundbar 700 with the sub and the OmniJewel rear wireless satellites would make the total price not that distant from a Lifestyle, and the overall performance isn’t in the same planet (and the Lifestyle 600 would also come with rear wireless satellites. But trends speak louder, and Bose ended up with one of its most iconic and accomplished line of products, which were unique in the way they combined visual appeal with sound (not following audiophile levels of performance, because physics can’t be changed, and it was a real Lifestyle product). Bose isn’t in a very good shape worldwide (I’d argue that they are in very bad shape), because since Dr. Amar Bose passed away, Bose tried to compete with the hugely bigger brands in the consumer market, instead of keeping the focus on what the founder always said “in order to be better, we have to be different”. Not all Bose products that were “different” were better (some were actually bad, and I sold loads of them for over 20 years), but some of the best and most iconic were definitely different. When we’re talking about soundbars, the Bose is just another design of the same basic concept that almost every brand has been doing for years, and you’ll see things going backwards, just like the remote on the 900 vs 700 soundbars. If you don’t understand why the new soundbar 900 comes with such a simple remote, I can tell you that the main reason is that it is way cheaper (you can see that the list price for the 900 is very similar to the 700, but it has more speakers, amplifier channels and DSP processing). The sub has been around since the Sountouch 300 soundbar (the exact same unit that came with the Lifestyle 650/600/550), so there’s another saving there (although you can’t see it in the price evolution). 😉 The low number of inputs or older protocols has always been a Bose thing (saving). The Bose 321 was an huge success, but they were always behind all manufacturers in that respect. When most of the competition has component video output, Bose was still on the composite. When the competition moved to HDMI, Bose was introducing the component video output. 😁 It was always like that, because in the great scheme of things, Bose was always a small manufacturer (compared to the big ones from Japan and later Corean manufacturers). They didn’t have the scale to make changes that fast, but the often compensated with differentiated products. That time is over, and I hope that Bose can get out of the current hole that it put itself in. Bear in mind that I’m not a Bose hater, as I had a very close relationship with the brand for more than two decades. I was never what you call “a Bose fan”, in the sense that my priorities in sound were almost different. But I could see and respect what Bose achieved on many products, in the perspective of sound solutions for challenging spaces, that wouldn’t let any high-end speaker perform anything close what they could, both for acoustics and placement. Bose professional has already been sold to an investment group called “Transom”, and I’d argue that the Pro business is still better than the consumer for Bose. Dr. Bose would be rolling in its grave if he heard about it, as he was always proud of being a private held company, which meant that it wouldn’t have to please shareholders every year. That was the main reason why he gave most of Bose to MIT. Sadly, Bose gradually lost its track over the last decade, and the results aren’t great. That being said, the Soundbar 900 and the QuietConfort Noise Cancelling headphones are still the most regarded products from Bose today. There are better options for both product lines on other brands, but they’re still the best rated for Bose. I sincerely hope that Bose can reinvent itself, but at the moment, they seem to be stuck with an mostly outdated product line (this soundbar is one of the most recent, interestingly enough). 😉 In a nutshell, I wouldn’t buy one, but in all honesty, I’m not a huge fan of soundbars for anything more than a bedroom sound solution. With a few honorable exceptions, they represent the victory of design/trends over function.

Dear Andrew please take note that for the best sound experience with atmos soundbars you should place them at ear level instead of your current arrangement on a low table top. Try the ear level placement and you will experience better atmos experience as well as more immersive sound bubble.

Thank you so much, the details you provided about the Bose 900 are exactly what I wanted to know about. I am a bit hard of hearing with clarity so your tip on the center channel really gives me hope the 900 will meet expectations. I have never liked rattling the house with base and don't like speakers all over the room so the sub and extra speakers are not wanted, I really want 1 small footprint soundbar that does a lot. I think the 900 will be exactly what I need.

Love your vids but curious - any reason why you haven’t looked at a full Sonos Arc setup yet? Would love your thoughts.

The Sonos Arc is so huge. Where do you place it? On the floor?

the 7000 with the rears is better than the A9. The A9 lacking a dedicated center kills that system. the phantom center is weak

Watching on my Sony X90J and listening to this video on my Bose 900 Soundbar with the Bose 700 Subwoofer.

Okay. So here's my question. Given these 4 options, which is the best choice right now? Sony HT-A9 speakers and SA-SW5 300W subwoofer ($2,300) Bose Smart Soundbar 900 + Bose Bass Module 700 + Bose Surround Speakers 700 ($2,250) Sonos 5.1.2 Surround Set with Sonos Arc, Sub, & One SL Speakers ($2,050) Samsung HW-Q950A 11.1.4 channel Soundbar ($1,650) (More details: Large room with 8-foot ceilings, TV and movies are the priority.)

Is the bose 700 bass module worth it?

Great video. I went with the Bose 900 as it’s the biggest sound bar which fits between my 75” TV triangle shaped legs on my IKEA bench.

Just purchased Sony A80J 55 inch and in search of my first sound bar. I want a sound bar that is good listening to music and playing movie sounds. I have narrowed following choices: Sonos Arc: rich and robust sounds. Bose 900: generates clear, crisp sounds. Sony HT-A5000: just released so don’t know how that sounds. Sony HT-A7000: Sounds very powerful but length seems too long for my TV and very expensive. Best Buys don’t give a good space for Bose sound bars demo. However, the more I keep try out the sound of Bose 900, the more I like the sound and design of the bar itself. I think I am leaning toward Bose 900 and plan to purchase Module 700 subroofer which total cost about $1650. If I go with Sony HT soundbars with subroofers, the total cost will be the same cost range of $1600 as well. Best Buy sales agent tend to recommend me stick with Sony eco system to work better. Any opinion on this? I owned a Bose head phone long time ago. I think back then that head phone cost about $100. I felt the sound quality is average but parts broke down quickly- kind over hyped. So I am also kind of concerned with product durability of Bose.

Comparing this to the Sonos Arc?

Bose is kinda the Apple of the audio world. Well built, easy to use, expensive, and all extras are sold separately.

Hey folks, I'm no audio expert but I have to admit if you can find a few extra bucks go for the Sony 7000 over these. I had the Bose for about a week and they are VERY good, but something told me to go to Best Buy and try the Sony, I heard the soundbar in the store and I was intrigued but when I got home they pretty much amazed me. Keep in mind this is without the sub or rear speakers. Well, that's my 2 cents. Hopefully I was able to help someone else out 🤗

I agree with Kristi's comments on the Bose 900 being a little small, at least height wise. I felt the same way when put in place on my mantle, same for bass module. I got the Bose 900 to replace my Nakamichi Shockwafe. The Shockwafe had better bass obviously due to the two included subwoofers, but the Bose is a more refined soundbar with simplicity and room correction. I have heard the HTA9 compared to the Bose 700 at a friend in the same room. Unfortunately, the Bose 700 sounded better, but that could be due to the room itself.

I've come to appreciate the "Kristi segments", she's very knowledgeable and makes great comparisons and intiates a dialogue not found in many reviews. Wonderful review as always by both of you!

Came hear to listen you saying HT A9 is superior and boy I am not disappointed 😉

Andrew Robinson I really like bose, but this talk confused me, you seem convinced, but it seems that kristi changes your opinion, is it really worth it or should I buy another? HELP...

One thing left out that Bose tops Sony on is the ability to wirelessly connect 2 subs. I'm a Sony fan but they dropped the ball not allowing for 2 subs but Bose dropped the ball on no DTS. Having the versatility to play both Atmos and DTS X is nice especially if you use a 4K player for movies not just streaming.

How about the Sonos arc against the Bose 900? @andrew Robinson

@Andrew thanks for your review. What's going on with Sony quality control? Nearly each of the customer reviews (BBY and Amazon) about HTA9 is complaining about connectivity within speakers. I would love to invest, but these are too expensive to go through hassle of return exchanges etc. Did you face any problem? You are making a great recommendation, but I am in doubt about the Sony's quality on this one. I do own Bose for nearly 10 years, and none of the product is broke so far, all sounds like the day I purchased.

I’ve watched a lot of your soundbar reviews, and really the only bar that interests me is the AMBEO (not really into setups that use wireless solutions especially with subwoofers, and traditional HT setups require a lot of cable management), and well it’s $2.5K. I honestly haven’t seen anything to replace my Yamaha YSP-1600 but who knows, maybe that solution will come in the next few years at a much more manageable cost. The room I have my YSP-1600 is small enough where the sound stage is pretty full and I’ve had it for a few years and have been satisfied with it overall. Compatibility with more modern codecs is what’s scaring me a bit as I plan on upgrading my TV in the next few months or so.

I just hooked up the 900 with dual subs and the omnijewels last night. The entire process took less than 2 hrs with not one glitch. Last black Friday I bought the 700 to upgrade from my soundtouch 300 and it was a nightmare. I spent seven and a half hours plus a hour and a half with tech support trying to get it to work. After six hours the soundbar itself would only work and not the additional speakers so I returned it the next day. To tell the truth I can't notice any difference in sound between the 300 and the 900. One problem I am having is the sound goes out when switching inputs so I will have to solve that problem. We all know that dealing with anything connected to wifi is like voodoo and you have continuously problem solve.

Your reviews on sound bars ain't complete until SONOS ARC is reviewed. I am pretty surprise you still have yet to review. I have test Bose and Sony that you mentioned and I still think Sonos Arc is a little ahead if I were put them side by side.

Nice review! Are you going to compare with a sonos arc?

I bought q950a after your review. 30% off and a free Samsung s6 Lite table (Samsung campaign). Very pleased with the performance for the price. Was think about the Sony A9 +sub, but the price in Denmark, is 3 times higher than the q950a.

You guys probably single handedly got the world hyped or at least talking about the Sony A9. Very hard to get a set now lol.

"It's just a sound bar." Yes. Sums it up for me, at least.

I am going to cast my vote in being thoroughly disappointed there's no DTS. I don't know whether I'll need it or not, but with a flagship I definitely expect it to be there if I do.

That’s true when the dialogue mode is on, the sound is rather more tinny compared when it is off… I just boost the center channel level a bit according to my preferred loudness.

As an AV enthusiast, I can't get enough of AV content, so thanks for giving me something to look forward to on Sundays and the work you guys put into the content.

BOSE is the best system,

I’ve had the 700 for about 6 months now, is the 900 worth purchasing and selling the 700?

Hi Andrew, your tv console stand shown at 18:25 look’s beautiful. Can you kindly direct me to where you bought it? Many thanks

New subscriber, I like and respect your style. I've been researching soundbars and finally took a listen to the Bose 900 w 700 sub. It was in demo mode (of course 😏) however one of the demos was a short clip of House of Dragons. I was floored by the sound, so clean and crisp yet deep and powerful. That said it's a lot of money and after researching I've read a LOT of people complain about the constant unpairing of the bar and people needing to do a hard reset and starting over. Some complained they were never able to get it to sync again and returned it. Curious if that's something you've either come across or experienced post review? I've heard the Sony, haven't heard the Samsung 990 because it's not setup at my local BB. Anyway you guys mentioned last years LG 9, I see it available now for $500! I know you both enjoyed it but again I read people complain about the LG destroying their cable wifi signal to the point of making video unwatchable. Unfortunately I have Tmobile home internet and it kicks ass, 1.2gps, but it sits in my tv cabinet. Did you guys notice and issues streaming w that bar, is that a specific issue only with last year's LG 9. Seems odd, it's the only time I've ever heard that complaint. Anyway, at this point I'm not sure I'd risk $1450 on the Bose w all the dropout complaints. Think I'm going to start around $500 and the JBL Bar 5.1 was high on my list after that review but it's tempting to try that LG 9 for $500. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks and I look forward to your future reviews. Merry Christmas

Good afternoon from Ontario 🇨🇦and Happy Canadian Thanksgiving 🦃. I love the ease of use, always a Bose strong point, but the rear surrounds are a big fail. I’ll stick with my Q950A. Great review.

Question: I recently purchased the 900 w/ sub & surround speakers. Set up through HDMI earc. Here’s the question or problem, watching Netflix or Amazon when I pause the content and go back to it, I have lost all sound. Only way to get sound back is to unplug and plug back in. Any suggestions. Everything else seems to working just fine. Thx

Interesting tidbit regarding the Sony HTA9, in this review you mentioned it was a similar price to the Bose, but at least where I live the Sony is $1100 more, nearly double the price. Great review as always. I just purchased the 900 soundbar, I would have had a very hard time making this decision without all your amazing sound bar reviews. I wanted the HTA9 but they were out of my price range. I picked the Bose specifically because it does not come with a subwoofer. I live in a smaller apartment, and in the interest of being neighborly… I also think the ability to pair Bose headphones with the sound-bar is an interesting feature. Have you tried this? Thanks again for your top tier reviews/integrity

I'm stuck with Samsung q950a for a while because it amazes me almost everyday. Sounds are bouncing off the walls with great ease. Imagine a 22feet wide TV wall.

Can we get a Bose vs Sonos comparison? Please Andrew and Kristi 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

From what I've seen from both reviews I would go with the Sony for the same price hands down if I was looking for a different set up!

Having initial problems when switching TV and sky Q on. Getting no sound. Got to keep turning things off and on until the sound comes on.

I like to hear you native pronunciation you make me practice my english best regards from Panamá. NEW SUBSCRIBER
