I bought it today for $600. It was the best deal that I could get. The sound is amazing. It's sufficient for a small room. Bass module is not really required because the sound bar is already having good sound effects. If you have a big room and more budget, you can go for soundbar 700.

Ordered this and received it yesterday to use with my Samsung TV. My TV is thin so the speakers are tiny facing down. So I needed something to help me hear TV without turning it to 55 volume. Word of the day is amazing.

It sounds good, looks nice, simple to use. Music on lower volumes is good, but would be better with the sub, which I intend to eventually buy. At higher volumes, music sounds great, but don't expect your house foundations to crumble.

Premium audio company Bose really is no stranger to getting big sound out of compact speakers. The Bose SoundLink Mini II perhaps started the trend, but we have had many examples since, including the Bose Home Speaker 500.

Bose’s Soundbar 700 might replace your smart speaker, but it’s no substitute for a properly cinematic audio system

ADAPTiQ audio calibration; Built-in Alexa and Google Assistant; Excellent app integration

Fails to deliver an engaging sound; Doesn’t support Dolby Atmos or DTX:S; Oversized remote control

Universal speaker for using with TV, Video, Music and Alexa My Tv doesn't have HDMI ARC but RCA to optical converter works great with no lag Clear Sound for dialog and music, maybe add a Bass Module if big thud is your thing Great for Spotify or Amazon Music; used the equalizer to adjust to my taste...

Great sound, would not work with supplied HDMI ARC cable. Had to buy optical cable.

Bose's sleek and slim Soundbar 500 is the minimalist way to liven up TV sound

Clear and balanced sound; Choice of Google Assistant or Alexa; Intuitive; rock-solid app; AirPlay 2 included

No subwoofer leads to a lack of punch; No spare HDMI inputs

Smart looks, smart assistants, not-so-smart features

This classy soundbar looks smart, acts smart and generally sounds smart. However, some design flaws, a lack of Atmos/DTS:X support, and limited bass make it hard to recommend at this price.

Solid front soundstage; Effective remote app; Attractive design; ADAPTiQ audio calibration; EARC support; Built-in Alexa/Google Assistant

No additional HDMI inputs; No Atmos/DTS:X support; Top is too reflective; Annoying remote control; Lacking in bass
