everything turns on and sound first comes from the TV. The TV then goes blank for a second before coming back on this time with the sound coming from the soundbar. It’s quite annoying.

My current battle with the soundbar is same as I've had with the Polk and Klipsch before it - having it power on and produce sound reliably.

still sounds excellent. Using apps like HBO maxx shows DD+ on the Bose app. All sound excellent and improved from the 700. You can hear the sound from above, it certainly fills the room.

All sources whether streaming music through Alexa or watching Netflix , Apple TV etc... have a roughly 3 second audio delay.

tonally besides the atmos its exact same, i cranked the atmos since the speakers seam to be kinda small , im getting mild atmos effect

it sounds terrific and I can hear the upfiring speskers playing the audio. I have the subwoofer and rear speakers and they really fill up the room with sound. Great setup.

not a huge if any difference from the soundbar 700 to the 900, i dont think you are missing out really, consider the 700

Bose is however so far has the best tonal range and clarity compared to LG being the last and Sonos is a small step up but totally lacks center ch clarity, Bose I would say is a big step up in clarity and sounds like a decent high end speaker

it sounded phenomenal even it's far 25 feet from me in my home now. It's a great piece of technology by Bose

Same issue, if I pause or start a new video, there's a 3-5 second wait before the audio kicks in.

It sounds good to me, but I don't have soundbar experience nor have I tested it with any movies or music yet.

Sound is very good - definitely better than the Klipsch Bar 48 it replaced and that was ok.

I know someone said this is normal but I don’t think it’s normal, it’s not even acceptable.

sounds awesome but (wired sub) is popping too often. Going back to my sonos arc system.

Sounds great. Puts out very spacious dynamic sound. Awesome with music as well.

I returned the bar. Not worth the headache as my svs sub is way more important.

the tiny atmos ports are the weakest so far in the high end Soundbar market today.

impressive Dolby Atmos soundbar for the most part

I don't think I will buy Bose products again. And I have plans to sell it.

Good, crisp clear sound but where's the Atmos? No overhead effects.

I am pleased with it for a living room soundbar.

I currently have the Bose and its been giving me some handshake issues.

Bose atmos is poor and i cannot really tell

Working flawlessly since 5 months.

I jusy bought a Bose soundbar an I'm having the exact same problem.

AVS Forum▼ don’t recommend

only having one HDMI input on the soundbar is a bit of a fail.

I'm shocked at how weak the overheads are for Bose.

There's audio delay whenever I play content.
