It's a big unit at 43.3 inches wide, packing nine drivers in a 5.0.2 layout that includes a dedicated center tweeter and two upward-firing speakers for Dolby Atmos height effects. Bose's app adds a three-band EQ and separate volume controls for the center, height, and surround channels. Connectivity is comparatively sparse: one HDMI eARC port, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, and a subwoofer output, but no second HDMI passthrough, no aux jack, and no DTS support.\n\nThat last gap matters more than it sounds. A PCMag review found the soundbar's bass doesn't keep up with the rest of its sound profile and recommended adding a subwoofer, an extra cost Bose doesn't mention in the sale price. Buyers who want fuller bass without that add-on are better off with the Sonos Arc Ultra, also marked down to $899, which delivers deeper low end on its own, even though it carries the same single-HDMI, no-DTS limitations as the Bose.\n\nEither way, the soundbar alone is just the entry point: matching speakers and a subwoofer are sold separately if you want to build Bose's fuller Lifestyle Ultra system.","[\"bose\",\"soundbar\",\"prime-day\",\"dolby-atmos\"]","2026-10-08T13:00:00.000Z","2026-10-09T08:59:33.946Z","2026-10-17T21:04:56.056Z","published","Duplicate of \"Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar Hits $679 in Prime Day Sale\"",[24],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"The dek claims deep-bass buyers should pick the Sonos Arc Ultra instead, but the body never explains why — it only says the Sonos has the 'same' HDMI\u002FDTS tradeoffs, dropping the source's actual reasoning that the Arc Ultra is better for bass without needing a subwoofer; restore that comparison so the body supports the dek's claim.","resolved",null,"deals",[33,34,35,36],"bose","soundbar","prime-day","dolby-atmos",[38],{"name":39,"url":40},"Lifehacker","https:\u002F\u002Flifehacker.com\u002Ftech\u002Fbose-new-dolby-atmos-soundbar-sale-last-minute-october-prime-day-2026?utm_medium=RSS",0,{"sections":43},[44,49,54,59,63,68,73,78,83,88,93,98,103,108],{"name":45,"slug":46,"count":47,"latest_published_at":48},"AI","ai",7038,"2026-10-17T19:58:31.000Z",{"name":50,"slug":51,"count":52,"latest_published_at":53},"Security","security",1001,"2026-10-17T22:20:00.000Z",{"name":55,"slug":56,"count":57,"latest_published_at":58},"Policy","policy",538,"2026-10-17T19:38:12.000Z",{"name":60,"slug":31,"count":61,"latest_published_at":62},"Deals",521,"2026-10-17T07:00:00.000Z",{"name":64,"slug":65,"count":66,"latest_published_at":67},"Hardware","hardware",260,"2026-10-17T19:55:36.000Z",{"name":69,"slug":70,"count":71,"latest_published_at":72},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",235,"2026-10-16T23:36:26.000Z",{"name":74,"slug":75,"count":76,"latest_published_at":77},"Science","science",202,"2026-10-16T11:00:53.000Z",{"name":79,"slug":80,"count":81,"latest_published_at":82},"Startups","startups",133,"2026-10-14T19:51:34.000Z",{"name":84,"slug":85,"count":86,"latest_published_at":87},"Software","software",128,"2026-10-14T22:23:48.000Z",{"name":89,"slug":90,"count":91,"latest_published_at":92},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",116,"2026-10-13T16:20:18.000Z",{"name":94,"slug":95,"count":96,"latest_published_at":97},"General","general",81,"2026-10-16T16:06:38.000Z",{"name":99,"slug":100,"count":101,"latest_published_at":102},"Gaming","gaming",77,"2026-10-17T16:59:39.000Z",{"name":104,"slug":105,"count":106,"latest_published_at":107},"Reviews","reviews",37,"2026-10-14T10:00:00.000Z",{"name":109,"slug":110,"count":111,"latest_published_at":112},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
