Bose Bass Module 500 -subwoofer, musta

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this along with the 500 sound bar and it accompanies it very well. The bass it adds gives the depth that the sound bar on it's own misses.

I have this connected up to TV as my sound system for movies, general TV and gaming. I have used this to replace my floor standing speakers in order to save space and this has worked out very well. The volume is connected through my TV remote and allows me to control it all through one remote although sometimes the sound bar doesn't come on immediately and I have to use the dedicated bose remote to turn it on. I'm not sure yet why this is but it's not a huge issue to overcome.

The design is as good as you come to expect from bose and has this sleek/stealth look to it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Paired with the sound bar 700 in a room c. 15m2. Great and can go loud. Granted it’s not as deep as the 700 module, but, it does the trick and is a very worthwhile add on to the soundbar.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] About as easy as easy can be to set up, being Wireless, and once the Soundbar is up and running connecting the Bass Module up via the companion app is a doddle. It’s basically Plug n’ Play, folks.

Having listened to just the Soundbar first, the difference when using the Bass module is incredible. Not just LOUD, but beautifully deep and resonant, distortion free bass frequencies massaging your ear-brains. I’d say you COULD just use the Soundbar, but when the combo sounds this good, why would you?!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Build quality is great and it really looks great!

Set up was troublesome, you have to pair with the sound bar using the app and took 3 or 4 attempts, I eventually turned it off from the mains and back on again to successfully pair.

The bass is brilliant it really puts a smile on your face every time you get a deep rumble. You can adjust the volume in the app and i have never needed to go anywhere near the max. Music is great with tight punchy bass! Probably its best trait is at low volumes. You can really enjoy the soundbar and sub at low volumes and the bass is always present without overpowering the mids and highs. It would be nice if you could adjust the volume of the sub from the remote instead of going into the app, although once set up i haven't found the urge to adjust.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bass module is an amazing partner to have with the sound bar. IT adds depth to the sound, and you can feel the rumbling throughout the room. It emerses you fully. You can also turn the bass up and down using the app which I loved. This is essential if buying the soundbar.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a great fan of Bose products which I have throughout most rooms of my house. As such I was keen to see if their Bass Module 500 could add to the sound quality of the Soundbar 500 that I am currently using.

On unpacking the quality of the Bass Module is well within that usually experienced from Bose products and the Module complements the Soundbar perfectly. The unit is relatively small and makes one wonder if the bass output could be much improved over the Soundbar itself.

The very basic one page instruction manual basically tells you to power up the Module and then connect it to the Soundbar using the Bose Music App. No cable is used to connect the two devices as wireless is used. Connection occurred automatically without problem. Once connected the ADAPTIQ device that had been used initially to set up the Soundbar to the room is used to make any changes to the set up required for the Bass Module.

Once connected all I can say is that the sound quality is significantly improved and that I will not be using the Soundbar again without the Bass Module connected. Despite feeling that the Soundbar alone was providing a rich sound experience, using the Bass Module adds a whole new level to the quality of sound in the room. This effect is particularly noticeable with movies and music, but can also be heard in “normal” TV programmes.

I can thoroughly recommend the Soundbar 500 to anybody in the market for a new or replacement soundbar, but if you can afford the additional Bass Module then a further sound dimension is added.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow. Music hasn’t sounded so good in our household.

We have this connected to the Bose 500 sound bar, the sound quality, supported by the bass module is absolutely fantastic!

I found the set up easy via the app, once the soundbar was connected it was a few simple clicks to connect the bass module which was instantly discovered.

The amazing thing with both the sound bar and bass module is that they can now do it all - play our music using Alexa and provide an incredible experience when watching movies and sport! Super impressed, as have our family and friends been.

It looks very sleek too and neatly slots in with our furniture.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This small base subwoofer speaker can make you having doubts if it will make any justice when playing a good movie with Atmos or HDR sound or a good base music but when you paired with your Bose soundbar without or with wireless connection or any other centre speaker the sound that comes from it is really good. The sound effects really make a better sound experience, it doesn't matter which side of the room you are you can still feel it that base you always wanted from a small subwoofer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Bose Bass Module 500 for about 3 or 4 weeks now and the performance really is excellent. Regardless of if you are listening to music, watching movies or even sport, this Bose Bass module is sure to leave you impressed! The product looks very smart and is discreet enough to not intrude in your room. I was also impressed with the compatibility with Amazon's Alexa and the ability to conenct my Spotify and Amazon Music accounts directly. A great compliment to the Bose Soundbar 500 That I have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When paired with the Bose Soundbar this delivers a fantastic punch and significantly improves the overall experience and sound quality.

Setup was a doddle after having already configured the Bose app for use with the Soundbar. Simply set the app to scan mode and it will detect the Bass module and that's it and with only one power cable to plug in it couldn't be easier.

The look and feel of the speaker is as you would expect from Bose and really looks the part.

A perfect partner for the soundbar!
