![]() They’re also impossible to see when the backlight is off, and even when illuminated they don’t always make sense.Īt least the Bose Music App is well-designed, with an intuitive interface that takes you through set-up. For a start it’s too big, while the soft rubber buttons attract dust and fluff. Unfortunately the zapper suffers from similar short-sighted design choices to the soundbar itself. It can be paired with numerous devices, including a TV, Blu-ray player, games console, video streamer, or set-top box, providing control from a single wand. The soundbar includes a well-made universal remote control, with metal construction and a motion-activated backlight. The latter is limited to the SBC codec, so for those that demand the highest quality audio the first two options are a better choice. The wireless connections offer a choice of Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz bands), Apple AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth. Of course that’s assuming your TV also supports eARC. The good news is that it supports eARC (enhanced audio return channel), so you can send lossless audio from your TV back to the soundbar. In the other recess is the socket for the power cable, and four 3.5mm jacks for a subwoofer, data, IR extender, and the ADAPTiQ headset.Ĭonsidering the price it’s surprising there are no HDMI inputs, just a single output. The physical connections are a mixed bag, and in one recess is an HDMI port, an optical digital input, an Ethernet port and a micro USB port for service. However to Bose’s credit, they do at least include optical and HDMI cables in the box. The Bose Soundbar 700 houses all its physical connections in two recessed areas on its underside, but in another design misstep there’s limited room to actually plug-in the various cables.
