Bose's Smart Ultra Soundbar is now priced at $679, down from $999, making it one of the most notable premium audio deals currently available. The discount puts a high-end home theater upgrade within easier reach for users looking to improve TV sound without building a full speaker setup.
Immersive sound in a single bar
The soundbar features a 5.1.2-channel layout with nine drivers, including upward-firing units designed to add height and depth to Dolby Atmos playback. That setup helps create a wider, more cinematic soundstage for films, series, and gaming, especially compared with standard television speakers.
Bose also includes AdaptiQ, its room-calibration system that analyzes the acoustics of the space and fine-tunes output for better balance. The result is a more adaptable listening experience across different rooms, rather than a fixed sound profile.
Beyond audio, the Smart Ultra works as a connected speaker with built-in Amazon Alexa and support for Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth, and multi-room playback through the Bose app. For users who want to expand later, compatible wireless subwoofers and surround speakers can be added over time.
While a dedicated subwoofer can still deliver deeper bass, the Smart Ultra stands out as a refined all-in-one option for those seeking clear dialogue, spatial audio, and smart-home convenience in one device. As premium home audio becomes more intelligent and flexible, products like this may help redefine everyday entertainment spaces.
