Bose has just launched a new home audio range designed to adapt to any space, whether it’s a cozy room or an open area. This Lifestyle Collection features a wireless smart speaker, a soundbar, and a subwoofer, all built using Bose’s advanced audio technology.
With this lineup, you can easily stream music and even link speakers from other brands using Google Cast or Apple AirPlay. The updated app simplifies permissions and makes it easier to share Wi-Fi credentials across devices.
Drawing from over 40 years in audio innovation, these products aim to cater to all your listening preferences at home. “With the Lifestyle Collection, our goal was to ensure that exceptional sound is effortless,” says Raza Haider, president of premium consumer audio at Bose.
The Lifestyle Ultra Speaker can stand alone or work in pairs for stereo sound. It incorporates Bose’s Direct/Reflecting speaker technology, featuring three speakers—two facing forward and one aimed up—to create a rich sound that reflects off walls and ceilings.
The soundbar offers a complete audio solution that’s expandable. With additional speakers and the Ultra Subwoofer, you can create a powerful 7.1.4 surround sound setup. Inside, it has six drivers, including up-firing ones for Dolby Atmos sound, which enhances your movie-watching experience.
PhaseGuide technology gives the impression of sound coming from all around, even if there aren’t extra speakers present. For regular content, TrueSpatial tech adds depth to audio. Plus, SpeechClarity technology uses AI to make dialogue clearer.
The Lifestyle Ultra Subwoofer wraps up the collection. It’s a wireless unit that brings deep bass, thanks to CleanBass technology and a unique QuietPort design.
