This sound bar was number one on my list when I was building my system. Then I heard a Klipsch home theater and went with that instead, but I might get it for the living room. Although I’m also getting Rotel based HiFi stereo system with B&W speakers haha
O ok I hope you get to do the review on ot.
I have 2 Bose 901 Series 1’s from 1968 that I retro-modded and added a miniDSP in place of the old noisy Analog EQ. Those are my main Speakers. My Center Channel is a Series 2 901 Fromm 1972. Two Bose 901 Series 2 Continentals serve as my Surrounds.
Its the branding and the price MOSTLY THE PRICE with Bose they very rarely are the best or even close when offered against a similar priced equipment but Bose does sound ok when compared to equipment that is three time LESS in price IE: Sony Samsung LG and so on brands that sell in this price range is were Bose products belong in sound comparison ...
That's were most of the hate comes from the way over priced to spec and sound quality ..
Yes Bose sounds OK but NOT worth the price
I actually had this sound bar and it died 7 months in and after I got it fixed I sold it. I loved it it introduced me to home theatre sound I looked it this priced and decided to build my own system.
This popped up and I watched it. Didn’t know people did not like Bose. I love Bose. It’s a company that’s been around for years, there customer service is great, and I love that there sound is clear and not scratchy. Yes, if you want the Dolby affect, wish it had that but that’s why you buy products based on what you’re looking for. Great input on both of y’all
I had the Bose 700 and Sub and the Arc and Sub. The Bose has much better dialog, which is VIP for me. The Bose sounded warmer. The ARC has a wider sound. The subs were about equal. I kept the Bose and added the 700 surrounds.
The sacrifice of a little precision for a much more grand scale when it comes to sound stage and depth is a Bose signature. This is a result of Dr. Bose’s award winning papers on direct/reflective sound as opposed pure direct sound. This led to the creation of the Bose 901s. And there is an entire section within the audio industry that’s geared towards that sound, and the production of Bi-Polar and Omnipolar speakers. For me personally, I enjoy reflective sound more than pure direct, in your face stuff like Klipsch. And for me, the Bose sound has more musicality for that very reason (vast soundstage, almost 3D like depth)....because that’s what live performances sound like. And I would categorize it as “inaccurate” or lacking in “musicality”.
Good review! Really enjoyed it!
Those conversations at the end of your videos are a great addition. I hope they keep coming.
I never liked Bose until a bought a sound bar by Bose and I love it I will continue to buy Bose
Bose is fine. People need to relax.
Yep, Bose is a fine piece of crap that's for sure.
@@melvinch The secret of bose actually just opposite what we think "no highs and no lows must be bose" tagline .... They only producing frequency between 50 hz to 800hz in the lows and 10k hz to 16k hz(approximate)in the highs...
The secret is if u give maximum workload to anything it will definetly distorted right? the same thing happens when we give maximum frequency range to the "eardrum" it will distorted...
If u give 20 to 20k full range aging reflected sound waves make more complicated and overload to the eardrum that make more distorted listening experience...
We Never ride a bike at the maximum speed but why audiophiles thinks to give maximum workload to their eardrums 🤔🤔🤔 i don't know....
Less work give perfect result i think that is the secret of bose... If u cut mid range frequency that make 15k hz feel like 20k hz..
Apologize for poor language...
Mine sucks
My mom's friend has i believe this exact system in the video but honestly (probably the room) I have never heard such modern terrible audio in my life. Even with room correction. With my dad' Bose L32+Sub1, it sounds good but is equally matched by $300 Paradigm speakers. I can't be fine with Bose products as my experience with them have been not good for the price.
Glad you took this on! It's been a long time, but that's what I remember loving about the old lifestyle system, coherency. A seamless blend between the cube speakers and bass module. The system sounded as one rather than separate speakers.
My takeaway here is that you pronounced "timbre" correctly and used it properly in context. Bravo.
Oh, and great review too.
The way you talk about sound is so satisfying! You make it super interesting and detailed. I also love the dialogue you have (With your wife?!). Its a nice addition to the video
Glad you enjoy it!
i love BOSE, i do own big speakers and amp, but i also enjoy the sound of BOSE, it has something to it, like it's own signature, that is not for everyone, the fact that this is not appreciated by audiophile people is not a problem, we are all different in person and taste.
Yes it has it’s own signature sound! I really like my 700 and that’s a good way to describe it
I loved my 201 s , had them for years . Wish I'd never sold them
@@amishparadise1924 BREATH brotha
My 1994 Bose 701's are still kicking in my office setup. Good for non-critical listening, in fact kinda nice really. Martin Logan Odyssey and Rotel gear is reserved for my main setup.
I just received my Soundbar 900. I am so pleased with the sound. Great review as usual.
Bose is awesome. Specially their older stuff and headphones of course. Running 501’s and loving every listening day!
Great review guys! You hit alot of things I agree with. Bose doesn't suck at all. This sound bar is truly a solid performer and reminds people that they still know what they're doing and do it well.
I've had the Bose 300 soundbar, Bass 300 (use 2 in my set up) and the matching invisible surrounds the last 2 1/2 years. Love it. With the 2 bass modules, and the matching surrounds, it make a huge difference in expanding the sound. Had friends over that thought I had an Atmos system due to the soundstage. When the 700 system came out I had no need or desire to change...
I bought a Bose 500 sound bar and bass module to use with my tv. It replaced my Quad hi fi with dynaudio speakers. I wasn’t sure if I’d like it because I’ve read so many negative comments about Bose. I’ve got to say that I am very impressed with the sound and quality. It’s not audiophile quality but it does sound brilliant for something that is slimline.
Im a JBL and Sony audio fanboy and I got my first Bose product last month, The Bose Soundbar 600 and rear surround + Module 500...I am impressed with the sound quality. Its well balanced, I love the clear dialogue. I love its not a muffled sound or bass monster... its just perfect..
I didn’t know people disliked Bose that much. They’re crazy and clearly have never used bose. It is easily my favorite brand for audio technology
I have the 900 with the 700 bass module and surround speakers. I love it. It looks good and sounds great. A lot of people say the 700 surround speakers are too quiet and they’re definitely not loud but they’re doing exactly what I want to do and add that full surround sound experience.
Ive had mine for 2yrs now. I love it! I gave up on big recievers and wires and dual stereo listening. Its much clearer and bigger sound stage from such a small setup. I have Technics sug700 now for that. Thanks peeps!
Greetings Andrew and Kristi!! I know about audio quality and yes, BOSE can bring it, totally on point with your review and well explained. I've been following the channel from quite some time and I really like your videos. I really like that you share them with Kristi and let her give her input on the subject, it's very refreshing as not a lot of people do that kind of reviews, at least not like you guys do. Keep up the good work and keep bringing those amazing reviews that show quality above all.
It’s worth repeating- having Kristi’s opinion on these videos is super valuable. I love it. Please don’t stop, Kristi! Pretty please 🙏
I very much appreciate your watching to the end and support of my involvement. :)
Thanks for the review, it was really in-depth and touched on all points. I’ve been a Bose fan for many years (with their headsets) but I’ve never purchased a sound bar from them, so I now feel comfortable that I made the right decision in ordering this set up today.
Thank you for this. I’ve had the 700 w/ subwoofer for a couple years and have always loved the sound. I’ve always wondered if the Bose trash talk meant that other brands sounded so much better and I had just had poor audio tastes.
Remaining objective is another reason I like your reviews, I recently stopped watching another very popular review channel for seemingly shaming people for liking Bose speakers, couldn't help but hear your line "only person that needs to like your .... anyhoos, thank you.
Wonderful review, thank you!
I use an Acoustimas 7 + Acoustimas 5 for full surround in my livingroom for over 20 years now....and movie watching makes still fun...
Bought the Soundbar 500 with the sub. Was really sceptical at first, especially for the price. What an amazing soundbar, coming from the Yamaha YAS-209 which I returned due to multiple issues. Miles apart. Only regret buying the 500, should've bought the 700.
This soundbar is LITERALLY AMAZING!
Audiophiles are haters... Simple as that... Nothing you have will be "good" to an "Audiophile" if their gear costs more... It's just unnecessary pretentiousness.
Never about price. It's usually the other way around with Bose; they cost too much for the quality of sound they produce.
Hard not to agree with you Augustas, except I feel that it has more to do with the need to be "right" and a resistance to seeing that there can be more than one path to what is considered "good".
This is truth...audiophiles do hate EVERYTHING mainstream or popular with audio. They will always remind us that they own a superior product than what's being reviewed. Having said that...Bose isn't making sense selling an $800 speaker with no Dolby Atmos. This soundbar belongs in 2015.
I bought the klipsch 600 based on your review. I'm just 3.1 right now. will get surrounds eventually. bought the 600 from Klipsch while on sale. worth the price.
My new dream home requires a sound bar. I went the passive route with an Atlantic Technology FS 5, powered by a Denon X2600 AVR and supported by a SVS SB2000 Pro...... Absolutely blows my mind every time I power it on and could not be happier.
Refardless of how ppl view Bose. They are also responsible for getting many of us interested in the audiophile world. I bought a unit thinking it was amazing. I soon learned it wasn’t but I have been collecting and upgrading since then. Now I have a few very nice setups. It all goes back to my original Bose purchase.
I got to listen Back-to-Back the Sonos Arc and the Bose Soundbar 700, and quite honestly I liked the Bose better all things considered. I’m not a critical audiophile per say, but I am an audio enthusiast and am thoroughly considering the Soundbar 700 & sub combo.
You can buy Klipsch The Fives and Hsu Research sub for about the same price and have a much better sounding system, easily.
@@FelixtheMetalcat You know it’s funny I was looking at the Fives if I was interested in a stereo speaker setup, but space-wise I like the Soundbar better for my apartment. The Fives are fricken amazing tho.
@@nicholashennessy6740 awesome....happy listening!
I have this same setup, waiting for the surround 700 speakers to be available to finish the setup. It’s been great and couldn’t be happier.
I know it’s not an actual dedicated receiver setup but it’s impressive on what it can do, the phase guide tech works surprisingly well. There was a couple of scenes in different movies where it just throws sounds to the far left or right of the room and works really well Rtings released the new review on this setup and the bass goes down to 25HZ which I feel like is more then enough for a lot of people.
I bought the black 700 bar right when the Alexa version came out, and I got my non-Alexa version for like 75% off. For that price, it felt worth it. It still has bluetooth, which works perfectly, and the HDMI ARC has been convenient. The build is clean, and it fits the aesthetic of my console shelf, TV and living room. Even then, I'm still constantly tempted to trade it out for a 2 channel receiver plus speakers on stands.
So you actually got the Soundtouch 300 which was really just the 700, is that right? Do you have a bass module with it? I had a chance to get the ST 300 and a 700 Bass Module for $399 dollars on facebook, but I think I have decided to go for the Sonos Beam from Cotsco. The 399 is a good price, just the 700 sub is now like 800 bucks. Maybe rethinking this now, lol.
I have always LOVED Bose products!
Great sound, build, reliability, ease of use!
Awesome products!
BTW: I studied Recording engineering in university
Bose doesn’t SUCK!! I own the 700 Soundbar, 700 Bass Module and 700 Surround Speakers and unless you’ve actually experienced listening to these products in your own home setup, your opinion is irrelevant. There seems to be a lot of Bose haters out there holding onto old outdated opinions that only confuse others entering the consumer grade soundbar market because it’s popular to do so. Maybe Bose has made mistakes and or crappier products in the past, I can’t speak to it personally, but I will say to anyone that has doubts about this product/setup. Just go buy it, try it and if you still aren’t satisfied, return it. I’ve personally tried other products in the similar price range and landed on these guys. I’ve also added two Bose Home 500 Speakers that pair to this Soundbar nicely with functionality similar to Sonos products that I set up around the house. I recently added the 700 Headphones that pair with the 700 Soundbar as well for watching movies at night, only issue is that I wish the max volume was a bit louder. I’ve read that it’s for safety issues, but it’s not a deal breaker. Hope this helps anyone considering buying the 700 Series. Thank you Andrew for the honest in-depth review! Can’t wait to hear your take on it after you get the 700 Surround Speakers 😉
wish it had a second hdmi
Have this set up in my living room. Sounds great, does exactly what I wanted and does it well.
I picked up the LG SNRG 7.1.4 sound system and was not happy with it. My LG 65" C1 factory speakers sounded much better than the LG surround system. The speaker system sounded "Canned" and I could not hear the surrounds unless I was right by them. I returned the system to Best Buy and then ordered the Bose 700 soundbar and matching sub off Amazon...Night and day difference between Bose and LG sound systems. Although Bose was a PITA to set up...I am very happy with it...
I like the fact that you call out the Bose haters! At the end of the day I want a product that works and sounds like I want it to sound. If it’s Bose, sennheiser or klipsch I don’t care. This is why we need reviews like yours that isn’t biased in any way. In fact on the back of this review I’m gonna give the Bose a go. The white one I think! Thanks Andrew. Keep up the good work. 👍🏼
I have to agree. I was one of those negative Bose people but never owned a Bose product. I have a LG 77GX and bought the LG SN9YG soundbar. The highs, mids and voices sounded “muffled” on most content on the LG. I then bought the Bose 700 with the base module and it blows the LG out of the water. Even my wife who is not in to electronics was impressed. I had her listen to the LG and Bose at the same time. High frequency sounds that were muffled on the LG you could here on the Bose. Voices were detailed, natural and clear. Even without Atmos the Bose sounds better on movies.
I appreciate your open mindedness and for sharing your personal experiences!
Andrew, I can appreciate this review. ALL your videos are heard through a BOSE 'Wave System' here in my kitchen! Your voice does have good low end resonance through it ((O: Like the WS so much, I bought a second one for the livingroom. This coming from a Martin Logan/Klipsch owner !
Loved this video. Straight to the point and very informative. Thank you
Good to know about the dialogue enhancement option. Might buy one for my father because his normal tv watching volume is REALLY FREAKING LOUD and he hates captions (smh)
Great review
My Dad is the same way. I should get him one too. Highly recommend for the hearing impaired. The change is significantly noticeable with enhancement turned on.
Nice shirt.
Much needed message.
Agreed.
I have the older soundbar Bose 300 and still love it. Looking forward to update to the 700.
Nice thing about doing this is I don't need to update all components.
Good review. I've had the Bose 700 sound bar combined with the sub 500 ( 700 was too powerful especially i have a neighbor) and the rear satellite speakers for over a year and not one bit disappointed. Your review is very accurate and was very pleased that you gave it a thumbs up. People who criticise Bose have no idea what they're talking about. Until you own one and have it setup in your room then you'll never understand the quality of the product. My brother has a mid range Samsung soundbar with sub and when he came to my house, he noticed the huge difference in terms of clarity and richness. The sound is not overpowering which is what I liked most and it's straight forward to setup.
Andrew I love how clean your vids and b-roll are made and I only can speak from a shorter road of audio experience, but, I heard some somewhat recent bose systems and my car has the bose package and I think the bose problem is not properly lacking anything but it's just not as cleaner or as lively experience. It presents the sounds somewhat nice in space but it never feels at least to me true to life, even equalized sound a bit flat no matter what I add in a EQ. It always feel off even against cheap IEMs with even just a good Dynamic Driver. It's not bad for sure but not excepcional at something. Klipsch are the liveliness, the bang are the impressive sound, sennheiser are the laid back and bose is the thing that has some power to the sound but not excepcional at even that. After this, loved the vid props.
Thanks Bruno, appreciate the comment and you sharing your personal experiences.
I have a couple bose the revolve sound link cylinder Bluetooth players and I love them
i have the bose 700 5.1 now little longer for a year love every second on it so great clear sound clear deep base and great suround speakers no matter the volume always sounds awesome
I love my Mission M52 floor stand ing speakers, mission centre and surrounds circa 2002.. 5.1 setup. I recently added a Bowers and Wilkins compact sub it's amazing. My 2002 denon amp went belly up recently so i replaced it with Yamaha RX V4A after a lot of research including your review of the V6.It has enough going on at the rear for my needs. I am thrilled with the 5.1 sound for movies and simple stereo and sub for music or sometimes pro logic surround . As you always say it's only you have to enjoy your sound system. I have best sound ever. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for the sub woofer set up video..really helpful and always informative and entertaining man.
Enjoyed the review. Felt balanced and insightful and......fun.
Thanks, Harry!
Awesome review! I was very curious as to what yours and Kristi’s take was going to be on the Bose 700 soundbar & 700 base module. I own this set up with the surround 700s. I really love your honesty in your reviews! You both bring out the good and not so good about a product and that’s what keeps me coming back. Even though I was very pleased with my purchase, it was still nice to hear your conclusion was a positive one. For me it was between the Bose and the Sennheiser...I choose the Bose because the Sennheiser was huge and wouldn’t fit under my TV. I have a small living room and love the aesthetics and build quality. I use my KEF LSX speakers with KEF sub for listening to music and the Bose 700 for everything else. Your channel brings excitement every time you come out with a new video...it’s like watching my favorite movie or TV series!!!
Aww, thanks Lynn. Appreciate you sharing! Sounds like you have a great combo setup Bose for movies, KEF for music. Thanks for watching!
I just setup the Bose Soundbar 700 with Bass 700 and I absolutely love this setup. I did have to tweak the Bass module a bit to get decent sound when watching movies VS listening to music. I mainly got this to watch movies and TV shows more clearly. I do have trouble hearing high pitches include voice. The voice option is far better then anything else I have used thus far. I can not say enough good things about the remote. I’m blown away how easy this remote is and how functional it is. Paired with my 65” Sony TV this is an excellent complement to a quality TV with a little kick. If anyone has hesitations I would recommend buy, try and return if you don’t like it. But do play with the settings before you decide to return. I also have to say the Apple TV integration is excellent and exactly what I was hoping for. So far I’m a very satisfied customer.
I have the full 700 system and love the feel of remote but I want to use this system for 15 -20 years. Don’t you think the remote should have the basic functionality of adjusting sound settings? It does not have anything other than volume! For such a huge “soundbar” remote! When apps are not supported and phones reject the apps later, how do we adjust Bass, treble and use adaptiq?
@@Abhitips224 while I do agree it is a bit odd to not have the other options on the remote. I do not think in 15-20 years from now they would completely drop support for a high-end product. Though you may be correct, they could push a patch to add volume ability to the 3 different ranges. However, I suspect they would do that through the app before long. This also heavily depends the app so I do not see it going away anytime soon. In 15 years I may be upgrading to the next level hardware anyway so I’m not too worried.
The one thing I would like to see is support for more frequently ranges. I suspect they can do it but may opt to stay with a simple interface for users.
Place your base module behind r sofa or chair ,will give u towering effect ,sofa will vibrate ,trust me
I've had a cinemate 15 for several years now. It has an enormous soundstage for such a small speaker (about 12" across with 4 speakers 2 side firing built in). No Adaptiq, but the bass adjustment knob on the bass module is good enough. I've demoed the speaker for friends (using the Saving Private Ryan D-day scene) and everyone of them was convinced I had a full 5.1 system.
Worked at Bose, loved it.
Loved your review Andrew ...it is spot on. I own close to $7,000 in my two channel stereo and complement my ensamble for TV viewing with this Bose soundbar, plus matching sub and wireless rear channel satellites. Love the app and I just wished for $299 more, you’d have reviewed the entire system as a whole. To me it achieves the goal to provide the illusion of full surround sound, once you properly calibrate the system to your room. I simply love the app and the remote. Great review. Thank you Kristy for your inputs. 🥰👍🏼
Thank you and I appreciate you sharing your personal experience. I don't think the surrounds were in stock when we bought our 700 which is why they are not shown here, but it's good to know they flesh out the performance nicely!
Thanks for watching, Jorge!
Previous to watching your review I was 90 % certain I would get the 700 . My you , you gave me food for thought when you mentioned the Klipsch 600 and its price. Just watched your Klipsch cinema 600 review. You just saved me a few bucks !
Hey you there !!! great channel I love it !! Looking foward to see your SONOS ARC´s test !! Finally I couldn´t wait any longer and I bought it but sure you´ll love it too. Greatings from Madrid - Spain !!
Bose Soundbar + bass module is a must for anything appreciable
I’ve telling people. Bose is not garbage. Not at all. It is really expensive. I love my Polk surround sound system but my dads Bose surround sound system will easy hang with my Polk system. Easily.
well, it's polk. not much competition
I’m saying Bose isn’t as bad as people say. A lot of people would put Polk way ahead of Bose. Same with klipsch.
I have a polk magnifi mini for 179. brand new. 4 mids 2 tweets one 6.5 sub (an overachiever) decent sound and large soundstage. I'm in an apt. building so it's enough for me. Til I get a house
WeI have an odd room with half vaulted ceilings where we wanted to replace our 20 year old receiver dedicated surround system with something simpler. I tried the full Arc set up and some others with Atmos - none of them worked well and the sound was just ok. When spending $2k for a full setup I just expected better and the Atmos effect fell flat because of the room shape, and We weren’t happy with them sonically. The 700 with sub and jewel cubes hit the sweet spot for our room and ears. Sound is subjective, but we really appreciate the Bose. We find It allows movies and tv to be much more immersive and find it does terrific with music as well.
The be kind. shirt during a Bose review was epically subtle. Well played sir...love your channel.
Thank you kindly!
I have the SoundTouch 300 (which is the 700 without Alexa), the surround speakers with the 700 sub. Great sound.
Same here! I'm pleased with Bose products ;)
I have the Bose Smart Soundbar 300 + Bass Module 500. I am very impressed so far. Can’t imagine what the 700 system can do.
I got the same setup for my dad, now need to buy him the surround speakers. Bose Outlet always have good deals!
@@shuvorahman785 Trying to find the surround speakers myself. They are out of stock everywhere.
I am Bose guy any given day. My first expensive headphones that I had were Soundlink around-ear wireless headphones II, and they still are my favourite to this day. Great reliability and good material and finish. People need to keep one thing in mind, it is a work of art when it comes to speakers or any musical source materials. Take it or leave it! As always you guys are amazing with your work. Keep up! Looking forward to the next one. 🤟
I just bought this soundbar....I LOVE IT! I've decided to ditch my AVR when it comes back from repair. The Bass Module is on order. The 700 soundbar was a chore to setup after the update process but my god the sound is great and I can control it from Roon! Atmos....meh! Not even bothered. I wasn't feeling Atmos on my AVR so not fussed about its lack of integration on the Bose.
I'm a BOSE fan, they've always been great at engineering, as an example I have the Soundlink Revolve bluetooth speaker, that's an ingenious bit of design, a single driver with an acoustic deflector (and some very clever DSP) produces genuine 360 sound no matter how the speaker is positioned. Brilliant.
They're great for restaurants and cafes. They have that market sown up due to a collection of nicely designed bookshelf and architectural products that give good sound around a room.
@@sdemosi Not gonna change my mind they make good stuff.
Loved the back shots of the film,Australia 🇦🇺
A classy touch, cheers from Queensland
I had never seen the movie before until recently and LOVED it. I was freaking bawling at the end. Such a gorgeous film and beautifully acted. One day we hope to visit your lovely country.
Well please feel free to let us show you around this Great Southern Land , and enjoy our B&W 702s2 plus friends 🇦🇺 love ya work
Great Review...I myself own soundbar 500 complete set. Now thinking of upgrading to newly released Bose 900 soundbar. Eagerly waiting for your review of Bose Soundbar 900.
I had Bose 601 III and they were quite good. I had paired them with Carver amp + pre amp. They are no where close to B&W 683 or B&W 803 or TAD S1-EX but for casual listening I can’t complain.
Keen to see you review this against the Sonos Arc.. trying to decide between the two
Bose is better then sonos arc in sound quality, in sound overall bose is better. BUT sonos arc has Dolby Atmos, but if you don’t care about that, trust me, bose is better.
The way I heard it when I was younger was, "No highs, no lows, must be Bose." I think it may have initially come from critics of the 901, because the speaker used 9 full range drivers and required pretty extreme EQ in order to approach a flat response. This is remembering old Bose from the early/mid 80s, but I always enjoyed their 501/601 towers. The only ones I have owned are the 2.1 version of the Acoustimass sat/sub. They didn't sound bad, but they couldn't really compete with the fidelity of a decent bookshelf speaker. I think a bit of the Bose hatred comes from the nature of a niche hobby. That being, "Nothing fails like success." Because it's a mass market brand that normal people know of, it automatically loses credibility. Part of it is also that Bose products rarely end up best in class for a particular price category. I think saying that Bose "sucks", is an overstatement. Bose has its place. It's probably better than a lot of people currently use. Won't likely do "that thing" that an audiophile is looking for.
Sorry to dissagre. As an example. The Definitive Technology Procinema 1000 will eat those cans of soda for lunch anytime. I personally would not take bose even for free.
Great, and gutsy review!
I concur with your findings. I am using the Bose 700 SB and Bose 700 subwoofer as a PC speaker. Since upgrading my PC monitor from a Alienware AW3418DW to a LG 48CX OLED I am watching more Amazon Prime and Netflix via my PC. I also tried the Sonos Arc and preferred sound quality of the Bose over the Sonos. The crystal clear highs and mids won me over the Sonos.
In the same room (man cave) I have a Arcam AVR-850 with Dirac room correction. I have a Wyred 4 Sound ST1000MKII amp for the left and front channels connected to the Arcam. I have a Oppo UDP-205 CD/ Blu-ray player, Bluesound Vault 2i network hard drive and streamer. My speakers are Mirage OMD-28's (left and right), Mirage OMD-C2 center channel, and Mirage OMDR's for the rear. For the subwoofer I have a Monoprice Monolith 15 subwoofer (overkill for my room). I have a LG OLED C8 65 as the display.
In another part of the house I have 2 Sonos Play 5's gen 2 and they sound great. In the master bedroom I have two Apple home pods along with the Bose 1SR for our TV. I like the ease of talking to Siri to play music from my iTunes account.
I like the Bose 700 SB and 700 sub, as you can see I have other options to listen to music. I really like the Bose 700 and 700 sub no matter what others say.
Love my Bose 700 soundbar bass module and surround speakers!!! Power House sistem!!
Finally a great review for the 700. Thanks 🙏🏼
Finally? Or were you just waiting for our take on it?
@@andrewrobinsonreviews oh yes and yes, I watched tons of reviews on this one and almost non of them hitting the points that I want with such great delivery, and most of the reviews comes from non-audiophiles (coz “God forbid they come near Bose”), and your wife comments at the end is the cherry on the top.
@@habibalbanna Thanks for watching until the end!!
Great Review as always, I have the fives by Klipsch with a Rel ht1205 combo in my máster bedroom and I think it sounds very good......
@Andrew Robinson, I just recently came across a Bose 700 and its matching sub. I have it set up with my KEF R700s. There is an EXCELLENT scene in Episode 8 of Severance on Apple TV starting at about the 33 minute mark and plays through about the 39 minute mark. I noticed a couple of things on the Bose that I didn't notice on my home theater system, so I wanted to see if you still had your Bose 700. At the 37:27 mark in the episode, there is a door slam that, on the Bose, sends a huge rumble to the sub. On my home theater, it doesn't. I wasn't sure if this is the bose interpreting the door slam and adding the extra bass for effect, or if my home theater setup is missing something. Also, right before the door slam, there is a car that pulls in the driveway (just a few seconds before on the scrubber). The sound of that happening is WELL above the music playing in the background, so much that it startled me, as if the Bose was enhancing that sound. When I played this part through my home theater, the sound is much more level with the rest of the audio. Either way, I would love to hear your feedback on this whole scene (from a sound perspective) and see if you feel it is a poor or decent test for a speaker system. What I appreciated was hearing the strings of the violin (I think it's a violin) and I could even "feel" the strings being played on my KEF setup.
Don’t care what audiophile say. The QC35 and mini soundlink 2 are my go to portable devices with zero issues for the past 5 years.
You shouldn't care what audiophiles (or anyone) say. If you like it, that's all that matters! Thanks for tuning in!
Soundlink mini 2 one if best portable speaker ever made
Quite a few audiophiles are like flat earthers or born again Christians, or flat earth born again Christians! If you have ever tried to have a reasonable discussion with any of those you'll get what I'm saying!
@@user-gz6tx6yp3v ☝️
Most audiophiles don't take any issue with Bose noise cancelling.
I don't understand why the dislike of bose I've never been disappointed by them.
Yep I have a Bose 700 and Mod it don’t suck !! At all but yes when pushed to the max it does pop ! I so glade you addressed that in the video. But lets be 1K with it your paying for the name and the look and the set up I was wanting more for the price tag but it’s a fantastic system overall
Excellent review as always. I am in the market for a sound bar + sub system because my new set up won't lend well to a full 5.1 wired system without some major modifications which my wife won't appreciate. Hope you guys get the sonos arc in for review soon!
It sounds amazing!!!! I love mine!
No Dolby Atmos in 2021 is a non-starter. Disney+, Apple TV, Netflix, Blu-ray, and more all offer it as premium audio. And Bose wants to milk customers for $1500 to offer an outdated audio format? 🤦🏾♂️
Best comment and all facts 💯. No Dolby Atmos is an instant deal breaker especially for what Bose is charging. Bose soundbars are stuck in 2016 smh.
@@lamar310 2016? Dolby Digital is from the 90s 🤷🏾♂️🤣
I bought the Samsung hw 900t on boxing day sales based on your recommendation..my man cave is 18ft by 18 ft...and let me tell you the Sammy ROCKS the room. I can't turn it up past 35. As my wife says when watching Dolby Atmos content "you can feel it in your chest". I have zero regrets and highly recommend. Love all your reviews guys!
So glad to hear!!
At some point in my life I was a Klipsch rep in the local military exchange. To give you an idea how long ago, my line was the Tangent XX series. While I had to share a wall with all the non-Bose speakers, Bose had an entire wall just for their products. I loved it when people would come in and start looking at the Bose wall and then I would suggest they compare the 901s ($999) to the Tangent 10s($270). Nine times out of ten, people agreed the 10s sounded better. Now that being said, I always felt the 401s where actually a good sounding mid priced speaker. And the original Acoustic Wave had no peers at the time. And remember, this was the era of the mini-fridge boom box. So while their "audiophile" centric gear was lacking(approaching appalling). They did have some gems in the lower end. And their noise cancelling headphones are top notched, if a little overpriced. BTW my favorite Bose burn... Bose-ohs... People who are complete Bose fanatics.
This was one review I was looking for since I subbed..was wondering as to why don't audiophiles review Bose speakers on their channel...😉
Some do, just not often...
Well if the trend continues, expect to see at least one or two counter arguments coming to a channel near you! You're welcome :)
The Audio Producer's .....producer strikes again. Great review & content.
I gotta be honest, I'm not loyal to any sound system but really want bang for the buck. I was reluctant to spend big $ on the Bose 700 system but went for it anyway. I guess I wanted to see what a "high end" sound bar could be. I started with just the soundbar and it was nice but really wanted more kick. I sprung for the sub and was happy after running the sound app. I couldn't stop myself, I had to complete the 5.1 system. I spent the dollars for the wireless rear speaker setup to completed the system. I was skeptical that the tiny speakers could do the job. I was blown away by the complete system and is now the standard by which all others must compete. The sound clarity is tight, the sound is smooth and fills the room with sound seamless. I have to say, Andrew's review nails it, I agree 100% Bose is awesome! I still think about the money I spent but when the system is on, I forget about all that. Mostly.... ;-)
EDIT: I forgot to add, I hate having yet another remote to deal with but used it when my 75" big screen tv remote died. I used the Bose remote in it's place and holy smokes, it's now my remote of choice. Just like the build quality of the speakers, the remote too is just built with quality and functionality. Cheers!
Noice
Waiting for the bose 700 vs Sonos arc review!!!
I have no problem with Bose. My computer speakers are Bose. My last 3 sets of earbuds were Bose. And my current sound system is Bose. It's and older system that need replacing but it still sounds great. The Bose 700 is one of my soundbar options. Great video!!!
Solid review. Thanks!
Please review the sonos arc asap!
Bring on the Sonos Arc review! :)
Thanks for the review! I wish u reviewed Behringer A-800.
Wow!!!! I love your video, you are amazing ! I realy like your approach ! Realy good review
When I got my very first flat-screen TV, I invested about 10 minutes to hook it up to my HiFi system. I just don't get soundbars period. I think it's very expensive for what it is, in other words, it's a Bose.
In other words, sound bars arnt for everyone. I have a love and respect for dedicated speakers. But I own a soundbar 700 with two 700 subwoofer and a pair of 700 surround speakers. The Bose exceeds in a lot of categories but also falls short in the categories that dedicated speakers exceed in.
@@jackkinman1962 So basically you have a complete sound system, of which the soundbar is only one element.
@@k9killer221 no, you must of got confused. I have owned dedicated surround receivers with high end speakers. Klipsch.... but I now own the Bose 700 soundbar with two 700 subwoofers and a set of 700 surround speakers for the max performance. Things Bose does well other companies and solutions fail at. Things Bose lacks in are things other solutions exceed in.
