Our take on the Bose All-in-One Surround Sound Bluetooth Smart Ultra Soundbar
The Bose Ultra Soundbar is a compact single-bar speaker that uses Bose's phase-guide array to bounce sound off walls for a wide, room-filling effect, and it adds Dolby Atmos decoding for height cues in movies. It supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi streaming, HDMI eARC and voice assistants, and its ADAPTiQ calibration tunes output to your room. It suits people who want a clean one-bar setup with strong spatial effects and don't want rear speakers or a subwoofer. Against rivals like the Sonos Arc, it is smaller and simpler to place but has less low-end on its own and fewer inputs; adding Bose's bass module and rear surrounds closes much of that gap.
- Wide, room-filling sound from a single compact bar

What reviewers say
Owners and reviewers generally rate the Ultra Soundbar highly for its wide soundstage and Atmos effects from one box. Most criticism centers on bass depth and the cost of adding a subwoofer or rear speakers.

Questions and answers
- Do I need a subwoofer with the Bose Ultra Soundbar?
- No, the bar works on its own. Bass is modest, so a separate bass module helps for action movies and music.
- Does it support Dolby Atmos?
- Yes. It decodes Dolby Atmos and uses up-firing and side-firing drivers to create height and width effects.
- Can I add rear speakers?
- Yes. Bose's rear surround speakers and bass module pair with it wirelessly through the Bose app.
- What inputs does it have?
- It has one HDMI eARC port, an optical input and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi streaming. There is no second HDMI passthrough.
- How does it compare with the Sonos Arc?
- The Bose is more compact and easier to fit under a TV. The Arc is wider and has deeper bass on its own but needs more space.
- Does it work with voice assistants?
- Yes. It supports Alexa and Google Assistant, and Bose's own voice control, through the app and built-in mics.
