There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Product arrived on time and well packaged. THREE separate boxes, two of which had padding. The build quality is typical Bose rock solid. Fit and finish are excellent. Set up was as simple as connecting the power and HDMI cables, powering it up, and completing the start up process using the Bose Music app. The sound bar did require an initial software update, which is not at all unusual. I would say that it took about 15 minutes for the update to complete. There is no progress bar to tell you where in the process it is, so you just have to trust that the installation is going fine. I would suggest to Bose that the inclusion of a progress bar would mke owners more comfortable during longer updates...
Once the software update has installed you complete a few more steps on the app and then fire the sopund bar up. The sound quality is what you would expect from Bose. I installed the sound bar 600 ONLY with no subwoofer. Thus far the bar has done an adequate job of supplying base / lower frequency sound. No it will not vibrate you out of your chair, but quite adequate and surprising and your neighbors will likely be happy that you are not shaking their walls. Your result will vary of course due to location, room characteristics, etc...And you will most likely have to fine tune the bass, treble, and center / top speaker setting to suit your room characteristics and your personal taste in sound.
Thus far I have only played with the sound bar for about 30 minutes, so time will tell on how well the Truespace works with the upward firing speakers. Speech was very clear without using the app feature which enhances the voice profile through the center speaker. I did move through a number of programs and music apps as a test. The music also sounds Bose good. I have not done a higher volume test as that will have to wait until the wife is not home.....For obvious reasons.
So, overall first impressions....I am VERY pleased with the Bose 600 sound bar thus far. Years ago we had the Bose 321 system. The ability to spead out the two satellite speakers may have given that an edge of the side firing speakers, but they were also extra clutter.
I will update this review, perhaps over the weekend, once I have some time to really put this sound bar through its paces.
I have an OLED TV and the Bose 600 Soundbar had really clunky connectivity to my OLED tv. I googled and finally found a way to pair the soundbar with my OLED TV. After following the workaround (where you basically setup the soundbar to the ARC HDMI of your TV) and then set it up as a home theater instead of a soundbar. It initially worked, and then after a little bit of playing around, it stopped working. I removed and backed out and re-added the soundbar and after few days of working right, it stopped working again. When I went through the optical cable route, this TV worked much better, but DOLBY ATMOS is not supported via Optical Cable connection.
I gave up and set this up on my second TV which is a different brand. This time around, the setup was smooth, no connectivity issue and worked like a charm. After a lot of research, I found out this soundbar has known connectivity issues with certain TVs. Unsure if this is the tv brand or Bose but I was looking to pair my OLED TV with some DOLBY ATMOS audio and it sortta failed my objective.
By itself, on the second TV, this soundbar has generated decent sound (not over the moon) but definitely a steep step up from my built-in TV speakers. Is this a good product? Yes, but room for improvement. Was it worth it? Perhaps. Do I recommend this? Only if you are not planning to set this up on a certain brand of OLED TV.
Top reviews from other countries
The app really is needed. Really helps give you the sound your looking for. For apartment living bass set to 0 is a must. So if you are looking for a punch, this does have room to give you that. Really does not need the subwoofer.
Setup was really easy once I installed the right app. "Bose Music" took less time to figure out and set my preferences, then it did to update.
Getting it setup with my Google Home network was a brease. I added the soundbar to speaker groups with my nets audio speakers. Works like a charm. The soundbars richness really adds to the google nets.
Used this also with the Dolby Atmos app on Xbox. The app picked up the soundbar in a flash. Really is awesome for gaming.
Update: I switched from Google Assistants to Amazon Alexia. This Smart Speaker is not Alexia friendly. You cant add it to speaker groups. So its just a stand alone speaker, unless you buy a Echo Dot and mute the dots mic and Bluetooth connect it as a slave to the Bose. Then you can add it too a group. It does a great job of auto switching to Bluetooth channel when you play music to a group and also auto switching back to TV Media when you play a show or movie. So it seems all seamless when you do this rout.
Amazon needs to be more friendly with companies making Alexia compatible devices. I am considering returning the 3 Echo I bought and switching back to Google. As for the Bose 600, I have not recreated this at all. Sound bar on its own, its great for apartment living. If you have a home, buy the the speakers that pair with this bad boy and you will be even happier.
