Thanks to the high-end quality assessment, you're sure to have high sound quality.
Add the soundbar to the Bose smart multi-room system and stream music throughout your home.
Thanks to SimpleSync, you can wirelessly connect the soundbar to the Bose Headphones 700 with separate volume levels.
The soundbar doesn't have a subwoofer to produce a deep bass for a sound that fills the room.
Description
With the Bose 700, you can improve the sound of your television or play music rom a network. You can connect this soundbar to your television via an HDMI ARC or optical cable.
The sound is realistic and undistorted thanks to the built-in PhaseGuide technology. The built-in drivers ensure that the sound stays clearly audible. You can connect multiple speakers from the Bose smart speaker collection to each other via WiFi. This allows you to create a complete sound setup or multi-room setup. And you can listen to the same music in every room, or choose a different song in per room.
Connect the Bose Soundbar 700 to your TV
Use the included HDMI ARC or the optical cable to connect your soundbar to your television. Keep in mind that your TV needs to have an HDMI ARC or optical connector so you can use the soundbar. We recommend the HDMI ARC cable.
The sound is phenomenal, if you add the extra bass module, otherwise it just sounds a bit flat.
Design: It looks immaculately chic.
The Bose Music app is well put together: Does what it should do.
The lighting of the remote control switches off after 3 to 4 seconds.
I have the soundbar 700 with the bass module 700, and 2 surround speakers, each in the black version. It's not a cheap thing, but you know that in advance. It is a replacement for the Bose Acoustimas 10, in combination with an Onkyo 7.2 amplifier.
Very satisfied with this soundbar.
The sound is crystal clear, even when the volume is turned up a bit. I think the bass module is necessary: Without it the soundbar sounds a bit "light" - The bass module (13 Kg) gives the sound just a little more power, it makes it all sound a bit fuller. The surround speakers also give the sound that little bit extra spin. These surround speakers are so small; You hardly see them hanging on your wall. And they can also be controlled wirelessly, but you have to connect these surround speakers with a cable to a knot of a power supply. So a cable comes out of the surround speaker anyway. The bass module works neatly with only a power cable. The soundbar with me has the following connections: Power cable, an HDMI cable to the HDMI ARC of the television, and an Ethernet connection. So there will be three cables coming out of the back of your soundbar.
You can control everything with a remote control that is included. It is a bit big, but otherwise looks nice. It is a so-called "universal" remote control: you can control all your devices with it. That's right, it works fine. I'm not going to use it anyway: The backlight of the remote control goes out after 4 to 5 seconds, and then you can't see anything anymore. Just shake the zapper, and it comes back to life. Bose doesn't seem to want to correct that. I'll just stick with my Logitech Elite remote control: It works perfectly in combination with the Bose 700 SB.
Bluetooth, Airplay, Deezer, Spotify are neatly integrated, and work perfectly, without any hiccups. I haven't played with the Google Assistant and Ms Alexa yet. I haven't read any negative comments about it yet, quite the contrary.
Anyway, my conclusion of the soundbar 700 + Bass module 700 + Surround speakers (black):
Not cheap (but you know that in advance, so don't be negative about it, you will get a lot in return).
You get a lot for your $$$: The renowned Bose quality, looks and sound.
Bose is known for its heavy bass tones: With the SB 700 this is slightly less, but if you want more, there is plenty of bass available, easily controlled via the Bose app.
The soundbar looks very good, especially with the glass top, but is not an attention grabber: it is subtly present.
Glass attracts dust and fingerprints: Just wipe it with a cloth every now and then, and you're done. (Also for the bass module)
A bit of searching how to configure everything, but the manuals are clear.
This combination is a must for me.

beautiful sound

Easy to connect

Now in the house for a few weeks together with the surround speakers. Connecting was done in no time, optical cable in TV, register on your network and ready. Had some trouble installing the remote control, but in the end it worked. 1 remote control to control your TV, Ziggo cabinet and soundbar. What a wonderful sound! Listening to music via spotify is a convenience and nicely balanced sound. As far as movie sound is concerned, I'm thinking about adding a subwoofer. Sound is good but don't really feel the bass which I like in movies.
