The Labor Day sales can never start too early, especially for big investments in your home entertainment system for shows, sports and movies. Right now, one standout offer is this Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar at Amazon for $699 (was $899).
The Bose Smart Ultra is a pricey but premium soundbar known for its impressive soundstage and welcome Dolby Atmos support. This is the lowest price we've seen for it yet, so well worth considering if you want a high-end soundbar now and don't want to wait around until Black Friday.
Today's best Bose soundbar deal
The Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar is the better, more expensive version of the Bose Smart Soundbar, our best compact Dolby Atmos soundbar. Like that epithet might suggest, both support Dolby Atmos and Bose TrueSpace tech, which improve how sound carries across the room and how immersive it feels.
Our reviewer enjoyed the "wide and nicely detailed sound" and control options, though he noticed a lack of weight and audio "height" in its sound profile. As a smart soundbar, it also supports voice control and integration with AI assistants like Alexa and Google. You can read more about the specifics in our Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar review.
Despite those gripes, the "exemplary build and finish" and compact stature make it a great alternative to the Sonos Arc. It's 41.14" long and only 2.29" high, a few inches smaller in length and height.
What else is out there, you ask? Well, the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar is the "all-in-one" competitor to the Sonos Arc, which now also has an upgrade called the Sonos Arc Ultra. If both of those are way out of budget, you can also browse our best cheap soundbars and find something close to $200.
