Soundbar alone = OK / Soundbar with Sub + Rears = GOOD
For those who are simply looking for a soundbar for the bedroom to improve the sound of the TV, the Soundbar 900 Solo is completely sufficient. To be honest, I think the much cheaper Soundbar 300 from Bose is enough, but if you want a really good sound in the bedroom without any add-ons, you should buy the 900.
BUT: If you want to use it in the living room for your home cinema, you won't be happy with the soundbar alone. You absolutely need the additional modules in the form of the Bose Subwoofer 700 and Bose Rear Speaker 700. All together, you'll quickly be looking at 1800-2000 CHF.
But with these components, the Bose doesn't have to hide in the home cinema. It simply has a beautiful sound at any volume. Even if you turn up the volume, nothing distorts! That's typical of Bose and partly also of Harman.
One small criticism: no matter what you do, the sound always takes 2-3 seconds to start. Even if you pause Netflix for a short time and then press PLAY again, the soundbar needs 2-3 seconds until the sound comes out again. Very strange.Pro

Unfortunately only of limited use as Multiroom
The smart speakers and the soundbar sound great (I still have the Smart Speaker 500). However, the app is very poor! Bose sells the whole thing as a multi-room system, but if the speaker group is not used for 15 minutes, the group falls apart again and everything has to be reconnected. Contacting Bose support is unfortunately not possible, chat is never active and there is no other way to reach Bose.
Pro
- Sound quality
Contra
- Loudspeaker group keeps falling out
- Sometimes 2-3 attempts are needed to create a group

Soundbar does not always start
Unfortunately, no plug-and-play. Soundbar must always be paired with the TV. Partly by pulling the plug. Tedious!
Pro
- great sound
Contra
- Difficulties with HDMI
- Soundbar must be started manually every now and then

Incomplete order
I don't understand if I pay almost 1000 francs for a box that is then sent without operating instructions, without the original packaging and with the wrong remote control. I already assumed that the wrong box had been sent, but I was able to check the back of the box to make sure that at least the correct box had been sent.
Normally really happy with Digitec / Galaxus but things went really wrong with this order! I actually expect the original remote control, operating instructions and original packaging to be sent to me!Pro
- Sound
- Depths
- Simple settings
Contra
- Incomplete / wrong remote control!
- Operating instructions
