Bose Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar Delivers Subwoofer-Level Bass Without the Extra Cost
The Bose Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar, priced at $1,099, offers robust bass performance without requiring a separate subwoofer, thanks to its CleanBass technology and QuietPort acoustics. Featuring a modern design with a glass top panel and unique circular touch controls, the device includes nine drivers and CustomTune calibration for room-specific audio optimization. While it lacks HDMI 2.0 passthrough, it supports AirPlay, Google Cast, and Spotify Connect. Engadget rates it 8.6/10, noting that while the standalone unit is sufficient for most users, adding rear speakers enhances immersion more than adding a subwoofer does.
