What makes so different a $700.00 dollars sound bar from a $35.00 Dollars soundbar? I will open a Bose Soundtouch 300 soundbar and see what's inside.
One thing that we won't be able to see but is a big part of the sound quality is the internal software (firmware) that coordinates and manages the sound and distribution of the different amplifiers. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Finally a video which really shows the inside of the sound bar and gives info about the Watts ! Thanks a lot!
U're welcome. Glad you like it. Thanks and regards.
@@Letsdosomethinguseful that’s why I love bose,you buy quality power,thanks a lot for your work
I have the same soundbar, and I'm as curious as you hermano, before opening up mine I looked for a video to see if someone else did it first and bingo! Thanks for sharing.
Very cool!
I salute you!! Thank you for these videos. I’ve wondered what makes Bose systems special and expensive and you my friend are tech savvy and brave enough to look behind the curtain! Subd
Thank you very much Sir!! I think what makes it so special is that Bose was born as an investigation project for sound improvement and it is currently owned by one of the most prestigious universities in the world (MIT). I really like its sounds, it is not laud, it is accurate, they think or the materials not only of the contruction of the box but also the position. I really like how smooth the sound is. Thank you for your comment and for watching my videos. Best of Luck!
Thank you for posting this video. Was looking for details on the driver array of the Bose Soundbar 700 and why it appeared to widen the front soundstage a whole lot more than say, the Smart Soundbar 300. Especially the edgemax/phaseguide compression drivers pointing to the sides.
Another viewer sent me this video that explains a little better that weird driver: th-cam.com/video/tWraYkX3KlI/w-d-xo.html
I like the intro,I like the explanation and worthy to watch
Thank you very much for your comment, I really appreciate the feedback. Best Regards.
Sooperb explanation. Nice teardown.
Glad you liked it
Very good videos. No need of any script. Your already good
Thank you very much for that! :)
I appreciate what you do, had to subscribe
Thank you very much Sir!
Hey man nice tear down video really appreciate it . I owned something similar to it so was curious what inside of them.
Thank you!, I have also disassembled the subwoofer, you can watch it here:th-cam.com/video/qbzJejAF3JA/w-d-xo.html and there is also an update to that video here: th-cam.com/video/JpsOtO9PyJ4/w-d-xo.html
Regards.
Superb
My companion 2 series 3 pc speakers are made in China. They have amazing bass for 2.0 PC speakers with 2.75-inch full-range drivers. I wish bose makes 2.1 pc speakers again with a 4.5-inch rich bass woofer in the Acoustimass module and 2.75-inch full-range drivers for the satellite speakers.
Great work! I just got the 700 series with the 5.1 setup. Amazing sound even without the Atmos. So my question is... the sound for the left and right channel is pushed out on the side via acoustic? I've been trying to figure this out while watching your video but can't see any speaker on the far left or right.
If you check at the 8:40 minute, those small speakers are for the left and right but they have like a tunnel to the extreme left and right of the bar.
I replay like the sound of the bass even with out an external subwoofer.
They use compression drivers to force sound pressure through filters, check out their videos on “edgemax” for more info.
Those left and right tweeters are strange. I think they are compression speakers. The sound comes from those tweeters and i guided by the metal strip and the net to the side. Tipical tricks that make Bose special...
@@BrodeyDoverosx Your comment on the edgemax compression driver helped me research more on this. Thank you.
This man really, really knows his shit
Thank you for that!! Warm regards.
Your time has come to open the Soundbar 900!!
I hope the time come to get that kind of money to buy one :)
@@Letsdosomethinguseful LOL 🤣
Great Video. Very Informative. Thank you. I have the same sound bar and it just died and it wont turn back on :(
What do you think is the problem?
What brand and model is the soundbar? I would star by checking the power supply, then go to the amplifier, look for cracked solder joints. Some times, to heat the electronic board (not the sound bar) fix some issues. Good Luck.
Usually would be the power supply mosfet section has been blown
Probably firmware failure, Bose have it set up to die after so many on cycles
Very nice presentation, can we improve sound clarity in Soundtouch300, like Soundbar 700,pls Advise....!
I don't have a 700 soundbar, but I hear the only difference is the features, not sure wich ones either since the last firmware uopdate, the 300 soundbar has alexa and airplay.
That metal square plate into the duct of airport for absorption of metal and magnetic dust from atmosphere to protect the speaker system
Ok, I did noted like it was a small grill. The subwoofer also have those. Thank you for letting me know that.
Hi. What is the center channel? Like is it the circle speaker and the 4 rectangle speakers to the left and right of it?
Hello. Do you know how to connect not bose subwoofer to this soundbar? I think the best way is to solder directly to speakers if subwoofer has stereo input.
There is an output for connecting the acustimass subwoofer with a wire instead of wireless, you could plug a headphone there and see if audio is coming. The other way would be that you splice your source and send one part to the subwoofer and the other to the sound touch bar. Good luck.
Does the sound bar works only with that remote? And also, when you plug the ac cord in a outlet, do you get chime sound or anything? I have a 300 soundbar but not the remote, I tried a universal with no luck. Thanks in advance
The soundbar also works with the app. Download the bose soundtouch app in your phone or tablet and you can control it from there. Mine does not makes a chime sound when it starts but it does when you select a source.
It also pairs with any smart TV control, you just have to pair it correctly.
Hey I was thinking of using these drivers for a profect, are the inputs of the speakers accessible to solder wires of my own?
Do you mean at the amplifier? no, the inputs are digital. You could just remove the driver and power it with another amplifier.
Nice Video. How much Total Maximum Power it outputs (W)?
Can you please also tear down Acoustic Bass Module 300? And confirm its power output W
Thanks
it is 150 watts RMS, and already did the acoustimass subwoofer video, check it out here: th-cam.com/video/qbzJejAF3JA/w-d-xo.html
and yes, it has a real 300 watts RMS class D amplifier.
Thank you.
@@Letsdosomethinguseful thank you for the video, I have the full setup, now I understand why I paid that money
@@GeorgeLungu618 Enjoy It, I know I am. great sound and great subs.
Let's do something you’re right 👍🏻
Love u bro😘
Thank you Sir.
I appreciate the tech gone into this soundbar , creates truly stunning 3 .1 channel experience . The highs are slightly muffled when compared to audiophile grade equipment but otherwise a great product . The sub on the other hand is a bit overpriced for what it offers
Totally agree. I got a 1200 real rms watts of power subwoofer for only $100 dollars more than this 8 inches 300 wats Bose Subwoofer. I don't complain about the quality, it is very good quality, but I don't see how it is worth $700 dollars, but I already have it and I really enjoy it. Thank you for your comments and best regards.
Hey i was thinking of buying the bose 700 5.1 or the Sonos playbar 5.1, which one you suggest and which one sub has the house shaking bass thanks.
get the soundlink 300! they sounds the same Bose just changed the name and the drivers and design are exactly the same! The 300 is $400 on sale on Amazon. You don't really need a subwoofer since the soundbar creates lot of bass as long as you tune the bass all the way up. If you really think you need a deeper bass get the acoustimass 500, the smaller one, since the big one is an overkill!
@@tomjong4141 Same opinion.
Please can you make another video of power supply problem or power ioff thank you
I don't have that problem, I will have to replicate it and since I pay for this bar, I am not planning on messing with it anymore. I'm sorry. Regards.
Please next Bose speaker Home Speaker 500 .
I'm sorry but I don't have one :(
Good job sir and i need some of your help i bought a soundbar 500 and i dont wanna buy bass module 500/700. How can i connect any other subwoofer to my soundbar 500 with wire thanks you
I don't think its possible, I have see many people trying to connect it to non bose or other bose models of soubwoofers with out success.
Hi Kuldeep, I read in a forum that if your tv has a headphone port you can connect your sub directly to the tv. Worth a try.
Good Day (LDS). I have a Creative Sound BlasterX Katana Gaming Soundbar & my left speaker sound like it burst & need replacing. I do not know how to Strip / Disassemble it to change the speakers just in case, Is there anyway you can help me on this, I will be surely grateful for any help given. Thanks in advance.
Did you take it apart to see if the speaker has issues? I have never see those soundbars but if the speaker does not have any issue (if you disassemble it, try swapping the left and right speaker and see if it still sounds burst ) if the same speaker still sounds bad in the other channel, then your problem is the speaker, if the problem still in the same side, there is a problem with the internal amplifier, could be a blown capacitor. Good luck.
Mine won't turn on, I wish there had been some clearer pictures of the power supply. I was Trying to see if there was any kind of fuse, but the pictures were so blurry and he went through it so quick I couldn't tell
I'm uploading pictures of the power supply to facebook.com/letsdocom/
Hope it helps.
did you get your issue resolved? mine has the same problem and is currently with an independent repair shop. apparently it's gone into some general fault protection mode which means any of the components could be failing but very hard to know which one. i'm not hopeful which is frustrating as a) i really like it when it works and b) it's pretty expensive to only get 18 months use out of it.
I have the same issue. it just won't turn on. Did you manage to fix it
Mine's still at the repair shop, need to chase them up. They've had it months.
Mine won’t power up. Let us know if you found what the problem was.
Hi Can you help me with a suggestion, IS JBL 5.1 4K surround sound bar better than Bose 300
I think JBL is cheaper and has more power. I definitively recommend JBL over this model of Bose since JBL is more reliable in general. This Bose sound bar has its issues.
Can you teardown Nakamichi sockwafe? It would be first of its kind on internet.
sadly, I don't have one.
at the min.15:04 i see a F200 near the power supply input above the capacitor . Is this a fuse ?
you are right, I didn't see that. it is a fuse, good catch.
My toddlers sprayed milk all over the front of my soundtouch 300. It sounds the same but I worry about getting liquid inside the speaker when I try and clean it. Do you think a little spray of liquid can break the speakers?
I don't think milk will damage the speaker, just let dry. If you want to clean it because it will smell very bad in a few days, may be you can disconnect the bar from the power outlet and user alcohol in a spray bottle and gently spray is and use a vacum cleaner to avoid the alcohol going too deep into the speaker.
@@Letsdosomethinguseful thanks for the reply. I cleaned it with cleaner and hung it with the brackets high so the kids cant get to it no more. I was worried it wouldnt sound right if milk got through the screens. But it didn't and it still sounds awesome.
@@iamdavid420 It does have a great sound even with out the subwoofer. I added the subwoofer later and it sounds amazing. Regards.
@@Letsdosomethinguseful yup I got the subwoofer and surround sound speakers and I love them.
@@iamdavid420 I never got the surround speakers, some day maybe, do you recommend having the speakers? or are those only for surround? I mean, does the bar can work all channel stereo to listen to music ?
You should have a music playing on the video
Agree.
I have one of these and the power just stopped working on it :(.
Will cost me $150 to repair it (or can buy a new latest version for $600).
:(
Do you know the size of the phase guide drivers?
Which one is that? The little speakers were like 1 inches diameter, the square ones were like 1.5 x 3.5 inches.
Let's do something the ones furthest to the left and right. I think it’s the little 1 inch speakers you are talking about in your comment. Hmmm seems to be the same size as the tweeter then which is the driver in the middle of the sound bar (between the 4 oval drivers). Wonder why Bose didn’t count them as tweeter then hmm. Thanks for your reply!
@@Archchill U're welcome.
My Soundtouch 300 just died. I am expecting power module failure. Do you think it is replaceable at home?
I have the same issue. It won't turn on. Did you fix it?
mine died about a month ago too... haven't had a chance to diagnose short of checking power/ unplugging, plugging it back in. but I'm thinking it's the power module too, no lights nothing when you plug it in.
I have heard similar issues with the subwoofer module. It is not user replaceable.. at least not that easy. The power supply is in the same board as the amplifier. If you are sure the problem is the power supply, check the main capacitors, but be very careful because those could still have power even if you disconnect the soundbar from the power outlet. I did not find any fuse internally.
@@ce7738 did you get the issue fixed?
@@Letsdosomethinguseful were you able to figure out what's power issue with this soundbar?
is there any big different from 300 and 700 ?
you mean the model of the bar? I'm no expert, I just happen to like Bose products, but since I own several products I see they are very much alike, just the power is the difference. For example, my Soundtouch 30 speaker has almost the exact same functions as the soundtouch 300 soudbar, the difference is the distribution of the sound because one is intended as a bluethoot speaker for the kitchen or something like that and the other for a tv room. This sound touch 300 is a 150 watts rms with out the subwoofer or satellite speakers.
The only difference is the 700 has Alexa capabilities built-in and the 300 does not.
Did anybody else see the little cockroaches run for cover when he opened up the soundbar ? 😂
ohh men, were they still alive?
@@Letsdosomethinguseful Yes. They were little yellow things scurrying for cover.
Please come back with another video power off we need you so bad that the only good teacher we have
Thank you for that, but I have not see that issue. Do you have the same sound bar? what is the problem? did you try the factory reset? or connecting it to a computer via USB, download the Soundtouch software and forcing an update? Regards.
I have a samsung curved soundbar j8500 its turn on and off it says D.in
Please explain
Does your TV supports ARC? if true, check the TV configuration to set "Control other devices" off, and check if the problem persists. Or you can try different input sources. Good Luck!
Maybe somebody can help.i have Bose soundtouch 300 that has no power when turn on. I change the power cable and connected it to different power sockets but still not working Anybody here with same experience with me pls. Thanks!
Sorry to hear that you are having issues with your soundbar, I have no idea what could be happening, I did not found any fuses inside the bar. I hear a similar case happening but with the subwoofer, but again, no solution yet. Good Luck.
Do you have Soundtouch 300 parts to sale ?
No, sorry, All the equipment I have is for personal use.
I was waiting for subwoofer
Here you have it: th-cam.com/video/qbzJejAF3JA/w-d-xo.html
Note to self: DO NOT EVER BUY USED ELECTRONICS. Holy crap your house needs an exorcism. Can you imagine the smell in that sound bar.
you're right, imagine the kind of plagues one can bring to home with those used equipments.
Sound quality of Soundbar 700 is much better than Sound touch 300 ,Clarity of sound is more Clear...!
No they are the same soundbar only different is alexa on the 700 and soundtouch on the 300
Yes is the same bro. And the price of the 300 is better!
Thanks 🙏
Thanks 🙏
Dear Bro,
One more important question is in my mind, how can we feel 100% Clarity in Soundtouch 300 Similar like Soundbar 700 .
In Soundbar 700 inside settings, there are Bass adjustments & Treble adjustments but in ST 300 only Bass adjustments available, how we can now feel Same quality, pls give some advice....!
oh yeah you are going to remove the or extract the alcohol from the chip and
sell it to Empire let's put it back together and hope for the best (12:42)
Didn't get that, what alcohol?
sound output
150 watts RMS for the soundbar and 300 watts en the acoustimass subwoofer.
Seriously,mount them on top would sound better?
The soundstage quality etc.
I will try it. Thanks a lot!
nr 4 in the midle is woofer..! not tweeter!!!!
Really? it looks so small, who would it tough.
That’s a tweeter man. It even says that on Bose’s website.
INCOMPREHENSIBLE
Thats disgusting
I know :(
Awful videography.
