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.

Bass modual is spot on
I purchased this to give some punch to movie watching. It does shake the room. Very great for regular tv also. My first Bose system smart sound bar and this bass 500 a really good combo.

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.

Great Bass!
This is an amazing bass and really improve the experience even if you have a 900 soundbar. I will recomend to wired the bass to avoid popping sounds, after I did that the sound was amazing.

Bass 500 unit
I bought this a few weeks ago and I love the sound that was added to the soundboard. Clear crisp bass was added.

Not working
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Boss Acoustimass bass module 500 just stopped working suddenly and I bought it 3 years ago. Can I get any tech support?

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 phone. What happened to the basics simple setups things used to be...

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!

Amazing bass quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very full robust sound, this speaker has the potential to vibrate my townhome with deep bass power but with no unwanted rattle or feedback. Another amazing product from Bose

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.

Thunderous bass!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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!

Rattling Noise
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started to hear this rattling noise randomly. Iive googled this issue and some say to do a firmware update, but, its already updated.

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 Keith - Customer Support

Perfect for me
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I live in a 1100 sqft townhome. I setup my TV and the speakers in my basement 10' x 15' with adjacent open den room beside and a short hallway at the back. This woofer is LOUD and deeeep. I paired this with soundbar 700 and the compatible bose small rear surround speakers. I love listening to music and watching movies with this new system. I tested them watching Shrek 2 movie perfect for testing the whole system. For the size of my room I didn't need the subwoofer 700. I set it up to 60% from my bose app. Previously, I owned a down firing subwoofer look like R2D2 (round and as tall) and I used to live in a 1800 sqft home. The difference is none.

No Brainer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Soundtouch 300 provides great sound but lacks in bass. I plugged in the 500 and it added the perfect amount of bass for movies, music and TV in general. It was a breeze to pair with the 300. I'm pleased

Not bad at all
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For me, this was an addition to the Soundbar 500 I just placed in the master bedroom. More than enough bass for this use and that pure, Bose sound. Very pleased.
