Bose's Smart Ultra Soundbar is now listed at $699, down from its regular $999 price, making it one of the most notable premium audio discounts of the moment. The model stands out as a single-unit home theater solution that aims to deliver a more cinematic experience without adding extra speakers.
Immersive sound in one bar
The soundbar uses a 5.1.2-channel layout with nine drivers, including upward-firing speakers designed to create height effects for Dolby Atmos content. That setup helps movies, series, and games feel wider and more dynamic than standard TV audio.
Bose also includes AdaptiQ, its room-calibration system that analyzes the acoustics of a space and fine-tunes playback in just a few minutes. The result is a more tailored listening experience across different room sizes and layouts.
Smart features and future expansion
Beyond home theater performance, the Smart Ultra Soundbar works as a smart speaker with built-in Amazon Alexa and support for Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth, and multi-room audio through the Bose app.
While its bass is strong for a standalone unit, users seeking deeper low-end impact can later expand the setup with compatible wireless subwoofers and surround speakers. For those looking for a refined, flexible, and premium audio centerpiece, this price makes the Smart Ultra especially compelling. As smart home audio continues to evolve, products like this could shape a more seamless entertainment future.
