Bose Smart Soundbar 600 Review

When it comes to movies, TV shows, and music, having immersive sound can make all the difference. That’s where the Bose Smart Soundbar 600 comes in. This soundbar is designed to deliver a shockingly immersive sound experience that will take your entertainment to the next level.

One of the standout features of the Smart Soundbar 600 is its use of Dolby Atmos technology. This advanced audio format allows sound to be separated into different elements, such as dialogue, instruments, and effects, and placed throughout the room, including overhead. Even if the content you’re watching isn’t Atmos-encoded, it uses Bose’s proprietary TrueSpace technology to upmix stereo or 5.1 signals and create a multi-channel sound experience.

But that’s not all the Smart Soundbar 600 has to offer. It also comes equipped with Amazon Alexa, allowing you to control the soundbar with your voice. And if you have a compatible Google device, you can use Works With Google Assistant capabilities to control the soundbar, your TV, and your cable/satellite box. Plus, there’s an included remote and the Bose Music app for easy access to your music.

In terms of connectivity, the Smart Soundbar 600 has you covered. You can connect to Wi-Fi to access integrated music services and internet radio stations through the app, or stream content with Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, or Chromecast built-in. And if you have other Wi-Fi-enabled Bose products, you can group them together for even more sound throughout your home.

Setup is a breeze, too. With one connection to your TV (thanks to the included HDMI eARC/ARC and optical audio cables) and step-by-step instructions in the Bose Music app, you’ll be up and running in no time.

The acoustic architecture of the Smart Soundbar 600 is also worth noting. Despite its small size (just 27.5 inches wide), the soundbar squeezes in five speakers, including two upward-firing transducers, to spread sound across the room. This means you’ll hear sound horizontally from left to right, as well as forward and overhead.

If you’re looking for a soundbar that delivers total immersion for all your entertainment, the Bose Smart Soundbar 600 is definitely worth considering. With Dolby Atmos technology, Bose TrueSpace, and two upward-firing transducers, you’ll be able to enjoy your favorite movies, TV shows, and music like never before. Plus, with voice control and wireless streaming capabilities, you’ll have complete control over your audio experience.
