Distinct dialogue
I’ve been using this with the smart sound bar. The sound is awesome. My wife has always had trouble hearing speech with other sounds in the background. This setup has completely eliminated her issues.

Broken after 2 years
I bought this bass module around 2 years ago. I've had multiple connection problems with the bass module and the soundbar. Recently the bass module stopped working. The lights don't light up anymore and it's pretty much useless now. I don't recommend this product.

Great, with the Bose Smart Soundbar
The Bose Bass Module 500 paired seemlessly with my Bose Smart Soundbar. After tweaking the EQ with the Bose app on my phone the whole thing sounds perfect!

Bose base Module 500
I brought this base module to go with the TV speaker. The base module doesn’t have as much base that I usually like, but it gives a full sound with the TV speaker. I think I should’ve got the base module 700. All in all, I still think it sounds great. I would still recommend it.

Excellent bass sound
I bought this a couple of weeks ago to finally round out my home theater system. It is incredible!!! I’m very happy I did this. This component is not only a great product but the sound it produces is unparalleled. It is easy to make any adjustments with the Bose music app.

Everything is Not so “smart”
Got the 500 soundbar and definitely needed some bass. Paired it with this 500 subwoofer and actually sounds great with Bluetooth, not so good with the TV. Using eArc hdmi(tried optical too) and there is zero bass. Changed the settings and still can’t get the bass to sound like Bluetooth. Not so “smart” and isn’t a easy plug and play setup as you need WiFi and a smart ph...

Response from Staples :
Hey MJ,
It's brilliant to hear that you enjoy using the Bass Module 500 with your soundbar, but are so far only able to enjoy it with Bluetooth sources. It sounds like you may need to modify your TV's audio settings, as it may not be sending surround sound audio. The Soundbar 500 supports Dolby Digital audio. Be sure that your TV is set to output this audio to enjoy full bass audio on the bass module. If you need help with the setup process, we're always happy to help! Our contact info can be found at the bottom of this page.

Thunderous bass!
I bought this around 6 months ago, and I just can’t believe the amount of bass coming from such a small enclosure. It can be heard throughout my entire house, and even still sounds good!

Hello!
It's great to hear you've done some research on this and I would love to help further!
If you are experiencing a rattling noise, it is always a good idea to check whether something nearby the speaker could be vibrating against the speaker or other surface nearby. Bass frequencies can cause strong vibrations!
If nothing nearby seems to be causing the rattling then please do reach out to us as we'd love to help! https://bose.life/2P7Tuqt
