Let Bose TrueSpace and Dolby Atmos immerse you inside your favorite content by adding the black Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar to your TV. Through a 9-speaker array, including two up-firing dipole speakers, the soundbar can surround you with audio from all sides—even above you—for a virtualized spatial audio experience. TrueSpace handles non-Atmos content, separating instruments, dialogue, and effects as well as placing them where they need to be around the room. Everything can be setup easily with the Bose Music app and included cables, with ADAPTiQ audio calibration specific to your space. Once set up, dive into additional features, such as Alexa and Google voice control. Wi-Fi and mobile streaming, and whole-home audio when synced with your existing Bose devices.

Bose Smart Ultra Overview
Hear What They Say
Using Bose's A.I. Dialogue Mode, TV and movie content is automatically balanced between voices and surround effects for vocal clarity without raising the volume.
Control with Your Voice
Bose Voice4Video technology works with built-in Amazon Alexa support to let you control the Smart Ultra Soundbar with vocal commands. You can also choose to pair the soundbar with your existing Google smart home devices to use Google Assistant. Multiple noise-rejecting built-in microphones ensure that your commands are picked up clearly from any direction, but the microphones can but switched off for privacy. Choosing your favorite voice assistant is easy within the Bose music app.
Do More with SimpleSync
Added functionality is waiting for those who already own compatible Bose products. Using SimpleSync technology, you can pair the soundbar with a pair of Bose headphones for late-night listening that doesn't disturb others. You can also pair to speakers throughout the home to let the music play from room to room, or use the Action button to join an existing group.
Plug and Play Setup
Integrating the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar into your home entertainment system couldn't be easier. Simply connect the included HDMI or optical cable to your TV or receiver, plug in the power cord, and finish setup using the intuitive Bose Music app.
Stream Your Audio
You're not limited to playing audio from your TV, Blu-ray player, or video game console when using the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar. Support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and Spotify Connect technologies allows you to stream music and other audio from the cloud, PC, phone, or tablet.
Expand Your Surround Sound
Even though Dolby Atmos and Bose TrueSpace produces immersive and sophisticated surround sound, you can enjoy an even more realistic experience by pairing the Smart Ultra Soundbar to an optional Bose Bass Module or compatible Bose Surround series speakers.
Bose Music App
In addition to completing your initial setup, the Bose Music app can be used to choose your preferred voice assistant, setup Voice4Video, and more.

Bose Smart Ultra Reviews
Connectivity is lacking
By Jimbo
Rated 3 out of 5

The pro is the the sound quality. The con has been connectivity issues with the app. I have needed to reset the soundbar multiple times to get it to work consistently. Trying to figure out what different color blinky lights mean has required some searching as well.
Upgraded to new ulta soundbar

We replaced our Bose 500 soundbar with the new Smart Ultra Soundbar and are very pleased with the unit overall. The sound surpasses the 500 in clarity and immersion and also provides better depth and separation. However the soundbar still has a propensity to turn off the TV on it's own, just like the soundbar 500 used to do. Not sure what's going on, something to do with the HDMI eARC and soundbar settings somewhere. Other than that I'd give it 5 stars.

Can I play music from the NAS drive using the Bose app and this soundbar?
The Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar and the App do not support direct playback from a NAS (Network Attached Storage) drive. The Bose Music app is designed primarily for:
Streaming services (Spotify, Amazon Music, TuneIn, etc.)
Bluetooth
AirPlay 2
Chromecast built-in (for Android devices)
Voice assistants (Alexa, Google Assistant)
Unlike older Bose SoundTouch systems, which allowed adding a NAS library via the SoundTouch app, the current Bose App ecosystem does not include a feature for indexing or playing music directly from a NAS drive.

I'm quite interested in the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar (Black), but I struggle with dialogue. Is this best soundbar for voice?
The Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar (Black), BH # BOSSUBL, is one of the very best soundbars to help clarify dialog from TV shows, movies, and sports programming. The A.I. Dialogue Mode for clear vocals does an amazing job!
