Although this review is circa 2 years old, in part I am in disagreement with this review. Yes the Bose is expensive when adding the other components to make a 5.1 solution, yes it does not support Dolby Atmos or DTS-X etc, yes the black version of the soundbar is prone to smudges/fingers....the white variant less so.....BUT the Bose SB 700 is a beast! The soundstage is huge, vocals are clear and forward (with and without the dialogue function being enabled), movies sound exceptional and so does music too. Yes there are better sounding, cheaper and costlier soundbars out there but the Bose ticks a lot of boxes. Check the reviews on YouTube.
