There are a plethora of soundbars, but those from Bose stand out thanks to the American manufacturer’s know-how in audio equipment, and for people who have never used a soundbar in their life, the Bose Smart Soundbar 300 is a perfect model. At Boulanger, this compact and connected soundbar is 40% cheaper than its launch price.

The Bose Smart Soundbar 300 in summary

• A compact soundbar measuring just 70 cm
• A sound system configured in 2.0
• Fully connected with Google, Apple, Alexa, Spotify and others

Instead of the usual 449.99 euros, the Bose Smart Soundbar 300 is now available on sale at 269.99 euros at Boulanger.

A good little bar to start a setup

Although it may be an entry-level model, the Bose Smart Soundbar 300 is valuable for several reasons, starting with its compact dimensions. This soundbar measures only 70 cm wide, 5 cm high and 10 cm deep. On a TV stand, it blends into the decor. As for the finishes, it’s impeccable, the Smart Soundbar 300 is covered in high-end plastic and the front is made up of a metal grille.

At the back, the Bose Smart Soundbar 300 has an HDMI ARC port, an optical jack and an input for a subwoofer. Because this soundbar is scalable, it is possible to later add a subwoofer and surround speakers if you want to bring more depth and an immersive effect to the sound reproduction. Once the soundbar is plugged in, you have to go through the Bose application to configure it, which allows you to directly access the settings on your smartphone and music streaming services.

Clear sound, but limited by its format

The Bose Smart Soundbar 300 is configured in 2.0 and has four broadband speakers, even if the American manufacturer does not communicate the power, we can suspect that it does not reach peaks. This soundbar lacks bass and depth, and it makes sense since it is physically limited, only a subwoofer can make up for this lack. The rendering is not catastrophic, the sound is clear, especially for the reproduction of dialogues, and the soundstage is wide despite the reduced size of the bar.

The sound performance is, of course, imperfect, but Bose makes up for it with connectivity which offers a wide range of solutions. The Smart Soundbar 300 is compatible with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 with a range of 9 meters, it also includes the Alexa and Google Assistant voice assistants. Finally, it is possible to stream your best hits from a smartphone or laptop thanks to the presence of Apple AirPlay 2, integrated Chromecast and Spotify Connect.
