If you have a subscription to a streaming music service like Deezer, Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, or TuneIn, you can play and control your music directly with the app. Inside the app, you get access to a generous number of settings, including the ability to set the individual levels of the center and height channels as well as bass and treble. It’s all done through the Music app and takes only a few minutes. These quibbles aside, Bose makes setting up the Smart Soundbar 600 very easy - again, as long as you have Wi-Fi. There are exactly zero day-to-day controls on the soundbar itself, save for the mic mute and voice assistant activation touch controls, so make sure you don’t lose the included remote, which is easier to do than you might think. No internet also means you won’t be able to use streaming music services unless you connect your phone to the speaker via Bluetooth - more on that later. Without internet access, you’ll be locked out of virtually all its settings, which are controlled exclusively by the Bose Music mobile app for iOS and Android. There’s no ethernet connection either, so if your Wi-Fi isn’t rock-solid near your TV, or heaven forbid, you don’t do Wi-Fi at all, the Smart Soundbar won’t be able to access the internet. There’s an optical connection too, which is fine if you only need Dolby 5.1, but optical connections can’t handle the extra bandwidth requirements of Dolby Atmos. So take note: If your TV can’t process or pass Dolby Atmos through to an attached speaker, you won’t be getting Dolby Atmos sound from this soundbar. Like the 300, it has no HDMI inputs, just a single HDMI ARC/eARC output. ![]() LG’s 2023 soundbars go wireless, get on-screen controls, and game-friendly inputs ![]() Nakamichi’s wild Dragon 11.4.6 Dolby Atmos soundbar goes up for preorder this week
