Still, the SoundTouch 300 and Acoustimass 300 worked well for music, proving quite listenable pair even on more challenging material. And you can pair a Bose smart soundbar with select Bose headphones for synchronised sound with separate volume levels – which means you can lower or mute your soundbar while keeping your headphones loud.

For our Bose SoundTouch 300 review we looked forward to seeing how Bose’s engineering history would play out in a slim and sleek soundbar. If you did not add a bass module or speakers during the initial setup process (or if you purchase them later), you can go into the settings menu for your soundbar in the Bose Music app and add them at any time. This is because technology in the AV marketplace moves fast, and as a result the value of items decrease very quickly. I mainly brought it to couple up to my Bluetooth record player, which it does perfectly, but equally it connects to our Alexa music and obviously the TV. The acoustics 300 is designed to be paired with the sound touch 300 sound bar and the virtually invisible 300 wireless surround speakers, so you can bring your home entertainment to life with Deep, dramatic sound effects and full-on surround sound.The SoundTouch 300 soundbar was a champ at maintaining dialog clarity and intelligibility, even at low volumes. The Bose Smart Soundbar 300 delivers spacious sound, clear dialogue and rich bass for your movies, music and games. If your TV does not have an HDMI connection, then you should connect the SoundTouch 300 to the TV using an optical cable.

Watching the final battle scene from The Dark Knight Rises, the Acoustimass 300 handily reproduced its wide gamut of bass effects, including the bombastic explosions, roaring engines, and that omnipresent, subterranean drone. Did it suddenly stop working after connecting the Bose Surround Speakers White Wired and Wireless Rear Speakers?

Sound quality is noticeably smoother, warmer and more refined, and the SUB’s bass quality in particular is nearly beyond reproach. Just make sure you don’t drive your neighbors crazy with the deep booming sounds you’ll be able to enjoy! It connects wirelessly to the soundbar and provides a more immersive experience for everything you listen to or watch. Watching the F1 race along with some choice action movies afterwards gave us a chance to test the SoundTouch 300’s overall output capabilities.

It connects wirelessly to your soundbar and adds even more depth and impact to everything from explosive movie effects to house-rocking playlists. Since the SoundTouch 300 is outfitted with a single HDMI input, Bose recommends routing all HDMI signals through your TV first and then to the soundbar for audio processing.If you want to have a more immersive surround sound experience, you can add the optional Bose Surround Speakers. This module delivers thunderous low notes to further immerse you in music, movies or TV, so you can dial up the performance of your Bose soundbar to a whole new level. Here, the SoundTouch 300 diminished some transient information and harmonic decay from Gustavsen’s piano, and on Flamenco Sketches, from Eric Reed’s album, From My Heart, upper register piano notes sounded a shade too crisp and glassy.

Four full-range drivers work together to separate and direct sounds left and right to deliver spacious, enveloping sound, while the centre tweeter clarifies speech for clear dialogue. It features a single subwoofer, which has a width of 305 mm, a depth of 305 mm, and a height of 381 mm. That waveguide mates to the underside of the tempered glass top plate for a clean, streamlined appearance. inches deep, the SoundTouch 300 should fit unobtrusively beneath any TV its likely to be paired with.

Included with the subwoofer are AC cables, providing a convenient setup for connecting to a power source.
