Replaced my old Onkyo. The updates are great. Wish I would have done it sooner. 7.1 surround is superb.

This is my 2nd Amazon Echo original. I have dot and a 2nd Gen. I find the speaker on the original Amazon echo to be superior to both the 2nd Gen. and of course the dot. It's fun, love it!

The SoundTouch~ 300 soundbar looks slim. But the sound? Anything but. That~s because every cubic inch of it is packed with technologies that make everything you listen to or watch sound clear and spacious. It starts inside with custom-shaped speakers that keep the profile low and pump out big sound. QuietPort~ technology virtually eliminates distortion so you hear surprisingly deep bass. And Bose~ PhaseGuide~ technology makes you believe you~re hearing sounds where there are no speakers. On the outside, the glass top and perforated wrap-around metal grille make the soundbar look as good in your room as it sounds. And with both Bluetooth~ and Wi-Fi~ technology built in, you can wirelessly stream music any way you prefer. ADAPTiQ~ audio room calibration from Bose ensures the soundbar sounds the best it can in the space you put it. HDMI~ connectivity with 4K pass-through keeps your system compatible with the most current technology. NFC provides quick and easy pairing. The SoundTouch~ app gives you simple control over your favorite music. Works together with other SoundTouch~ speakers so as you go from room to room, your music goes along with you. Includes a universal remote so you can control your other devices, too. Available in Black

I'm sure the soundbar works wonderfully but for me not enough options. This bar is ran by an application that is difficult to stay connected to and if you can't connect the app you have no control over the soundbar. And believe me I had a lot of issues hooking up to app.
Might be jaded just because I came from a 7.1 surround sound system which is what I return to after returning all components. I had bought the soundbar, the sub, and the rear speakers from Bose. The sound quality just wasn't there. After doing a bit more research if you do have a room where you can sit smack dab in the middle of it and I assume you would be emerged in sound. All I got was a blaring soundbar.

They take spaciousness to a whole new level. Add them to the SoundTouch~ 300 soundbar and feel what it~s like to be in the middle of what you listen to or watch. These small speakers are designed to blend into your room. And because they~re wireless, connecting them to your soundbar anytime is easy.

The speakers are OK. it's the application that you have to use with bose that I find lacking. You cannot adjust the sound quality, it's merely the level of volume and if you can't hook up to the app there is no adjustments that can be made.
I returned the rear speakers the sub and the sound bar. Coming from a 7.1 surround sound system to a soundbar just left a lot to be desired.
If you have a room that you can use as a theater, meaning you can sit in the middle of it, I'm sure all components work just great.

The difference between hearing bass and feeling thunder starts the moment you add this wireless bass module to the SoundTouch 300 soundbar. QuietPort~ technology and a highly advanced DSP virtually eliminates distortion and delivers surprisingly deep and clean sound from something so small.

The sub is okay, but the app is horrible to work with. Had lots of issues with staying connected to the app. Since that is the only way to have any control over the sub it rendered that ability useless. I return the sub along with the soundbar and the rear speakers. Coming from a 7.1 surround sound system to a bar system just left something to be desired. If you have a theater room where you can sit in the middle of the room, I am sure all the components work wonderfully.

Takes up more space than I'd like it to. I find it a bit clumsy to use, but all in all, it does what I bought if for.

Simply to set up... combine is with Echo....it's hard to beat. The Hue app allows you to control the lights without Echo. But I prefer using Echo for total control.
