I have already given my reviews on the soundbar and sub. These were released a week after the other 2 products. These rear surrounds really complete the package and make an already good system better. They are simple to set up, pair, and configure with the Adaptiq app. I would highly recommend adding them to package. Finally a product that gives Sonos a some competition and it includes a 4k passthrough HDMI.
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
This would be a 5 star rating if not for the difficulty that I had with the firmware update. I still cannot connect via WIFI, I had to use the ethernet cord. After the update, I could not find the unit to connect to it. Sound quality on the other hand is very good. It has a very wide soundstage and when paired with the sub, really rocks. I think it actually sounds better playing music than movies. That is very atypical for a soundbar. Not that it does not perform well with 5.1 movies, it does, but more experimenting will be required.
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.
I will start by saying bass is not what Bose is known for by consumers. While most of their products sound very good in mid to high range, powerful bass has been lacking in many products. This is not the case with this sub, it actually has serious punch and resonance.I am very surprised and please with this product.

I contacted Bose support and used my computer to update the WIFI settings, rather than my phone. My issue was resolved. I would suggest configuring WIFI in this manner only due to the ease of setup. The sound quality continues to be impressive.
