Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar
The dialogue and room-fill specialist — Bose's widest Atmos soundfield with class-leading clarity
Key characteristics
Highlights
- ✓ Wide, immersive Atmos soundfield from one bar
- ✓ AI dialogue mode keeps speech crystal clear
- ✓ Slick app with easy setup and voice assistants
- ✓ Expandable with Bose wireless sub and surrounds
Our take
Bose's Smart Ultra is the pick for people who care most about clear dialogue and a big, even soundfield: it spreads Atmos wide from a single bar and its AI dialogue mode is the best at keeping speech intelligible. Bass needs the optional sub and it's pricey, but for TV and films in a normal room it's excellent.
