This former flagship soundbar is balanced and direct, but there's no Dolby Atmos
Expert review by : John Archer (t3.com)
The Bose Soundbar 700 is the rare premium soundbar that fits smaller TVs, but it's missing some important features for its price
Big sound from a little body ; Attractive glass-topped design ; Backlit remote control and helpful app
Expensive for what it offers ; Sound can become a little muddy at loud volumes ; No LED display
The Bose Soundbar 700 delivers big, polished sound from an impressively compact body, and it's easy to use. But it can only take the sound so far, it's expensive, and it's missing some features.

A lack of HDMI inputs, no Atmos/DTS:X support and a glass top that reflects the TV screen are just a few of the Bose Soundbar 700's issues.
Big front soundstage Excellent remote app ADAPTiQ audio calibration Alexa/Google Assistant built-in
Light on bass No Atmos/DTS:X No HDMI inputs Reflective top
The Bose Soundbar 700 looks smart, sounds smart and actually is smart thanks to the inclusion of both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. However a lack of HDMI inputs, no Atmos/DTS:X support and a glass top that reflects the TV screen isn’t quite so...

This is one good-looking soundbar, but it lacks enough bass, adding a subwoofer makes it extra pricey, and the HDMI arrangement is limited.
Solid front soundstage ; Effective remote app ; Attractive design ; ADAPTiQ audio calibration ; EARC support ; Built-in Alexa/Google Assistant
No additional HDMI inputs ; No Atmos/DTS:X support ; Top is too reflective ; Annoying remote control ; Lacking in bass
This classy soundbar looks smart, acts smart and generally sounds smart. However, some design flaws, a lack of Atmos/DTS:X support, and limited bass make it hard to recommend at this price.

Can a single soundbar really provide great home theater sound for TV, movies, and music? If it's the Bose Soundbar 700, then the answer is most definitely, yes.
Enthralling surround sound Gorgeous design Choice of Alexa or Google Assistant Private listening option Smart universal remote AirPlay 2, Chromecast Built-in
Expensive Some music services not supported No HDMI inputs Bose Music app lacks some features
“Bose brings stellar looks, superb sound, and features galore to this soundbar.”
