I bought the Bose Smart Soundbar 300 last year and it does have good sound. I'll probably add the Bass later. Like
@Dru2 said, the software isn't much. With my old Vizio 5.1 Soundbar I didn't need to use my cell phone. All the settings were accessed with the remote. A little FYI, use the optical cable instead of the HDMI cable. With the HDMI cable the soundbar doesn't have instant on. When the soundbar finally turned on the tv would always switch to the soundbar input and we would be staring Bose screen and have to use the TV remote to change the input. The only thing we lost was being able to change the volume with the TV remote. I did setup the Comcast and Roku remote to the soundbar.
