Bose Smart Soundbar 900: Elegant solo soundbar with room-filling cinema sound
Of six built-in speakers The Smart Soundbar 900 has much more to offer than the average soundbar. Two of them radiate upwards and, together with Dolby Atmos technology, provide 3D sound. When you play content that isn’t mixed in Dolby Atmos, Bose TrueSpace surround sound processing easily converts it into room-filling 7-channel sound.
And the whole thing sounds very good. The experts at hifi.de praise it in their test the wide cinema sound and convincing 3D effects with Dolby Atmos. But the Bose bar not only looks good in terms of sound. It supports Apple Airplay 2 and Spotify Connect, making it easy to stream music via Bluetooth. The Bose Smart Soundbar 900 doesn’t cut a bad figure when it comes to music, even if the bass is sometimes a bit too prominent.
A highlight is the super-easy operation via the Bose Music app. The app makes setting up the soundbar particularly easy. You can also control the device via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
