Connectivity
Individually the speakers work great. I have a hard time keeping the speakers paired. I have updated my Wi-Fi to a stronger unit. I have great reception. After about 6 songs one speaker will cut out. Then I have to go to the process of installing each speaker and pair them up again. It has happened to me the last three times I have had the system on. I is quite frustrating.

Perfect stereo pair
I am glad I made the purchase of a pair of the Lifestyle Ultra speakers. Great sound and excellent bass from a small form feature that fits the room well. The app is just enough to control the sound experience too.

Great bass.
I love the sound of our new speaker.
I don’t believe many people would guess the quality of sound is from one speaker this size.

Sounds great
Love the way it sounds and integrate via wifi. My only complaint is that there is no subwoofer or other speakers to complement this stereo system.

Needed for gaming and movies
I added the Ultra Speakers to complete my home theater setup. I spend a lot of time watching movies and playing Xbox, and I wanted a more immersive experience that surrounded me with sound.
Pros:
* Creates a much more immersive environment for movies and gaming.
* Compact size makes them easy to integrate into a living room.
* Wireless connection reduces clutter and simplifies installation.
* Seamless integration with the Bose system.
* Environmental and directional effects feel more realistic during gameplay.
Cons:
* They still require access to power outlets.
* Proper placement is important to maximize the surround effect.
* Their full potential is realized when used within the Bose ecosystem.
Overall:
These speakers transformed the experience from simply watching and listening to truly feeling involved in the content. For movies and Xbox gaming especially, they make a significant difference.

Excellent choice.
Purchased two Lifestyle Ultra Speakers to replace a Bose Acoustic Mass system that is 30+ years old. (still sounded great) No regrets, they are setup in stereo and sound incredible!!! May add a soundbar soon.

Stereo Sound is impresive.
I bought a pair of Ultra Speakers, configures in Stereo mode and was greatly impresed with the sound quality. The initial wifi configuration was simple, did struggle when changing the speakers to a different network (had to erase from phone and reset speakers).

Exceeded Expectations
Always blown away by the depth of Bose speakers. These exceeded that expectation. I bought 2 as a stereo pair for my media center. These things fill the entire room with a deep-warm sound. Everyone I have shown them to are stunned that I am only using these two speakers with no sub. The low end is that deep. LOVE THEM!

Beautiful New Addition. But what does “height” do?
As the owner of eleven (11!) other Bose products, I was looking forward to seeing how the Lifestyle Ultra speakers performed and was not disappointed. The setup, creating a stereo pair, was pretty simple, although I wish Bose had alerted me that a “speaker update” would interrupt the process for each device. Once paired, adding Alexa+ also was easy, helped because I already use Alexa for my Bose Portable Home Speaker. The sound was exquisite and easily filled my living room. I was blown away by the stereo separation and how the sound seems everywhere. In the two weeks I have owned the speakers, there have been no issues and regardless of the type of music, the impact was impressive. An added bonus? I attached my beloved Bose Wave Music System IV to the auxiliary port on the speaker and now play my CD collection through them as well. And while the Wave produces legendary sound, the stereo impact of the new speakers revealed some nuances on many of my favorite CDs. Any issues? Well, maybe a question/comment. The up-firing driver is new to me and I noted the Bose app has an “adjustment” for height, but provides no baseline guidance for how to use it. So how do I use that feature?? Is it based on how high your ceiling is? Regardless, what does increasing the number do or decreasing the number? I know I can use trial and error, but some type of description regarding the impact of any adjustment would be helpful, especially for a new feature like this. Bottom line? The Ultra is a great addition to the Bose line that began with my first 301 Speakers in the 70s and I look forward to discovering new sounds for years to come. Well done!!l

Lifestyle Ultra Speakee
The Lifestyle Ultra Speaker is everything I expected in the way of sound.... it's phenomenal. Its clear, deep sound resonates throughout the room. I especially like the design and co!or, as it doesn't look like a "speaker" on my sofa table,

Excellent surround sound effects
These speakers completely transformed my home theater setup. The pairing with the soundbar was seamless, and the immersive audio makes movies, video games, sports games, and music feel incredibly cinematic. Crisp dialogue, deep atmosphere, and true room-filling surround sound — absolutely worth the upgrade.

Huge sound, classy look
I was shocked by this speaker, in particular the bass it reproduces which is huge despite its size. Mostly use these with the ultra soundbar as a surround system and for that they are phenomenal. I’ve also started pulling them into duty on the patio as a stand alone and may have found their permanent residence. They look fantastic and with some EQ changes to tame the high end, sound amazing. I had some hiccups activating them up as a standalone after setting up as a surround but Bose support got me going quick.

Get the speakers!
I have two of these speakers in white which I set up as part of my home theater. These speakers round out the sound when used with the soundbar and subwoofer. You can hear every little detail so clearly whether you’re listening to music or watching a movie. It truly is an immersive experience. The speakers match the soundbar so beautifully. They were easy to set up… They feel and look so lux. Best part is you can use these independently for a stereo sound. Definitely want to buy two more to get that multi room sound.

Bose Lifestyle Ultra Speakers Great Feature
Speakers were placed on the opposite of the room from the soundbar above our curio cabinet and behind the couch. The setup through the Bose app was easily made for it to distinguish between left and right. Our previous Bose soundbar did not have speakers so this was an added feature with the Bose Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar. Similar to our other Bose Lifestyle System we still have a tendency to look behind us when watching certain movies forgetting that there are speakers around us.

These make the system feel like true surround soun
The rear surround speakers are one of the biggest reasons the full system feels like a true home theater setup. I watch a lot of anime, sitcoms, action, and sci-fi content, and I also use the system for gaming. These speakers add a level of immersion that makes a major difference.
What stood out to me most was how much extra detail they add to the room. Background sounds, environmental effects, crowd noise, music, and directional effects feel much more natural and convincing. In some of my favorite movies, shows, and games, I noticed sound details I had never heard before.
For gaming, the rear speakers make the experience feel more spatial and engaging. For movies and TV, they help pull the sound around you instead of keeping everything locked to the front of the room. It makes the setup feel much closer to a theater experience.
The speakers are also nicely designed. They are small enough to place without taking over the room, but they still add a lot to the overall sound.
The only issue I had was during setup. Getting the rear speakers connected through the app was not as smooth as I expected at first. There were some connectivity issues during pairing, but the troubleshooting options in the app helped us move forward.
Once connected, though, the rear speakers performed extremely well. They are a major part of what makes the full system feel special, and I would not want to use the setup without them.

Frustrating to set up and pair
I am a loyal Bose customer for over 40 years, and find the “set up” getting more difficult with each product purchased. I recently purchased 2 Lifestyle Ultra speakers and pairing the speakers was very frustrating. They sound great, but it “took a minute” to get them set up and paired. I found it not to be as easy as it is portrayed.

Rich sound from a solo speaker
The overall sound quality is rich and exceptional….. my only issue is when 2 speakers are paired together for stereo sound, there’s a noticeable delay between the speakers which creates an echo and reverb effect. I’ve reset them to "factory settings" twice which has not corrected the issue.

Bien mais à améliorer
Le son est excellent et le design est parfaitement réussi
Par contre les services musicaux sont moins pratiques que sur les bose home speaker et je trouve que c’est une vrai lacune. Il faut absolument intégrer Amazon Music,radio player et autres services directement dans le serveur

Overall, the Lifestyle Ultra Speaker is good. Great sound. Will we eventually be able to group it (play simultaneously) with the Bose Smart Speaker?

Good but frustrating
Bought these to replace a pair of Sonos speakers. They sound better but were troublesome to set up on iOS and using Airplay 2 one speaker keeps dropping out. When that gets fixed I think they will be a very enjoyable pair of speakers.

Great Surround Speakers - At a Large Size
Wow do these pack a punch. I've owned a variety of Bose speakers and these might be the most room-filling, high quality, at a compact size, I've ever had.
We've chosen to primarily use these as surround sound speakers in conjunction with the Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar and Lifestyle Ultra Subwoofer. This is after spending near a decade with the SoundBar 300 surround sound system. The upgrade was immediately noticeable. The room was filled with sound and after testing with video games I've spent hundreds of hours in, I heard sound I didn't know were in there. Movies we've seen a handful of times also sound remarkably different. The upward tweeter and the dedicated CleanBass give these a heft behind us we hadn't felt before.
That being said, they are much larger that any surround speakers we've had before which is the only thing knocking these down a star for our setup in particular. These are definitely multi-use, meant to adapt to different use-cases, but they don't blend in and disappear like our old ones did.
Pairing them with the Soundbar and Subwoofer was a breeze in the Bose app too. Pinging each one to confirm which was Left and which was Right was also a fun moment which made it immediately clear how strong these speakers are. When AirPlaying music to the whole system, I also appreciated how they just acted as speakers and didn't try to mimic a surround sound situation (which they do if you're playing music directly from your TV setup for example).
Overall, incredibly happy with them. For our setup, I wish they were a tad more compact, but really appreciate the versatility and power they do have.
