You can still back order. The soundbar is in stock but the sub is on back order.
Bro, OZB is like to top 20 most trafficked websites in Australia.
You snooze, you lose.
Edit. Number 20.
Surprise that several manga reading sites are in the top 20!
Thanks mate, says one left and placed the order, let's see what happens next
Thanks OP. Xmas present for dad sorted.
Would be all over that if it was in stock.
At least Amazon won't take the money into they dispatched the items. If you back order now and doesn't want it a week later, you can always cancel
I just ordered and it is partly in stock. It is 2 units and the soundbar is immediately available. Bass speak is on backorder.
Wow, such a great deal. Would go for it if I didn't buy the Sammy 990b. Can we hook it up with rear speakers?
990b would be a much better option imo
Special wireless rear speakers only.
It's a $500 kit with two satellite speakers and wireless receivers.
I would say yes for the 11.1.4 setup. But I'm blown away with Bose sound quality in the smaller package…. But now I'm writing this I dun remember if I listened to the 500 or 700 😂
Likely 700.
500 is underpowered.
700 is decent
is this for the base and the soundbar?
Is this around 600 each at JB?
Yeh, the price is for both which is around the same price for the individual pieces at JB
both
That's a Killer Deal…
After reading all the remorseful comments. I went to JBHiFi to have a listen. I always liked how Bose sounded.
I have had Samsung atmos system Q950T, but didn't like the sound. Especially music. Sold it after a few months.
Now I can't wait to get this Bose system delivered.
I plan to do the same thing tomorrow!
Appreciate the info
Wait, what?
The Q950T is an outstanding soundbar and this sounds better?
Righto.
Q950T was loud, but didn't enjoy listening to music in it.
Also, was not a fan of the fabric wrap on it.
Been doing this for years, I don’t know why but the Bose sounds the best esp the 700 compared to other brands
Maybe a price error?
Would this be a significant upgrade over my Yamaha YAS-108?
BUY NOW ASK LATER
Its back order.
So BUY NOW PAY LATER.
Hell no.
I'm yet to find a better soundbar bang for buck than the YAS-108/109.
Not a chance I would consider replacing it with this.
Lol that’s nit what was asked, they asked if it’s a significant upgrade to their current and the answer is yes
@Maths Debater: Yes I call that significant listen to dialogue /voices on both…. Then tell me it's not significant, mate has the bang for buck Yamaha and don't get me wrong for a good price it's great. But voices wow good luck hearing dialogue in some movies or games even. Also referencing the 109.

Bought thanks OP
Tnx OP.
Gone. No more. Thanks OP! Awesome deal!!!
Ahh I should have ordered while it was still back-order. damn.
Bought one in back order, thanks
Me too, fingers crossed!
Dont need it but ordered anyway. Thanks OP.
Bose Soundbar is better than Bose Solo.
The next version up is over $2300!
https://www.amazon.com.au/Bose-Smart-Soundbar-900-Built/dp/B…
Next version up is the soundbar 700.
Hey all. I just managed to order at 9:32.
It was available in the other options section 👍
it won't let me add :(
I might have glitched it
Anyone know if I can use this if I don't have a tv?
I have a Philips projector coming next month
I get this is cheap, but wouldnt a q700b still be better than this?
How much is q700b with sub?
617 @ Good Guys Commercials also
@AussieMark: Samsung is an atmos sound bar for starters.
The bose soundbar is like 5-6 years old and is dated, where the samsung is updated annually and continue to improve qualuty of their bars.
That can be seen as a negative if you think its outdated every year. But innovation also happens every year.
Also unlike sonos, bose was never the top of the game at any stage
Absolutely.
I forgot about this option.
Sucks when you have had a full sonos setup and then true 7.2 setup. Then this deal doesnt seem like a deal
Stop making me doubt my purchase pls ty
Old school 5.1 would kill any “atmos” soundbar
It’s basic physics, but advertising makes it seem “better”
@easternculture
But have you tried VR movie with headset.
The sound is 360 degrees
It's around you and inside you at the same time.
Yeh i have. Its amazing
Was this movie made by…brazzers by chance..? Asking for a friend
Nah .. it was by "Money Talks"
Did the buy first ask questions later and having buyers remorse now. Lucky it's easy to cancel on Amazon!
Anyone interested in getting one, it might pop back up when I cancel.
alright im watching!!
did you just cancel it? i think i grabbed the last one left!
Unfortunately wasn't mine that popped back up.
Just had to go through a roundabout way to cancel. I tried cancelling the order and kept getting an internal error message.
Hopped on live chat and they told me the soundbar was in the advanced stage of shipping so they couldn't cancel it, but they could cancel the subwoofer which had no delivery estimate yet.
They told me to reject the delivery if I didn't want it, but then I noticed the page to cancel the order suddenly looked different (both items appeared in one line rather than two lines) and I tried clicking cancel again and it went through.
So it looks like it's just cancelled now. Weird!
Why buyers remorse?
I have the Bose Soundtouch 300 + Acoustimass currently and thought I would get this for the second room. This was an impulse decision just based on the price.
Upon having a further think, I've decided I'll move the current Bose system to the second room and look for an Atmos system for the main room.
Keep trying guys, I got one too!
hmm I am having buyers remorce. Anyone able to convince me if worth or should I cancel, already been charged for the sound bar preparing shipment, sub still not shipped.
I would save your money .. q700 might be better 🙌🏽
Any reviews that say the q700 is better?
preparing shipment
Maybe too late to cancel
Why are so many people having buyers remorce? I've been kind of looking for a soundbar but didn't want to commit to anything that wasn't really a deal. This was more than double my expected budget but seemed too good to pass up. Is this soundbar/sub not worth this money even if this is a good deal or something?
It is worth the money and you will be very happy.
My old bose sound bar and sub (original soundtouch) are fantastic.
Annoyed I missed this!
Because half the people on here have the mindset that spending money on quality is a bad thing. They are the kind of people that leave comments on half price high end hand wash for $7/liter that's it's a waste of money. Because they buy the Coles stuff for $3. It's like Jesus people let yourself have some nice things.
I reckon at this price you could resell on marketplace for up to five years at pretty close to what you paid. Having buyers remorse is just being stupid.
I'm sure you'd be happy with that or the C2. Not having Dolby vision is a bit of bummer. Obviously the Bose would blow that sound bar out of the water.
People don't like Bose because it's overpriced at the regular price. Plus they use cheap drivers and EQ them to have good frequency response. This makes them sound clear but the timing of the frequency to your ear is off so you lose the natural detail and soundstage.
For me personally the absolute best deal for stereo is a used stereo setup with very high end speakers and amps. It costs a lot of money at the beginning like 5k-10k. But they barely depreciate at all over time. In fact they have actually appreciated. My previous setup in the US i paid 10k and sold for 13k five years later.
Yeah this is a great deal. I got the 700 with no sub and love it. Have tried to get this one but no luck
missed it (sadly)
Still unsure whether to stick with this, or get the samsung HW-Q800B with 5 channels and atmos at $703, or even the HW-Q700B at $617
Never been a samsung fan due to their support
The q800 is a class above this soynd bar and q700 is alrwady better than the bose combo. Unsure why people are choosing the bose. Would like to hear why they chose this over the bose
Thought the q800 was over 1k?
Above is a great price
$795 at HN and normal TGG, and $769 on catch aswell
You can get the q930b for less than 1k
I want to believe you.
I can't find any comparisons head to head, because all the Rtings comparisons are without the bose bass module
Do you have any links or anything?
Thanks heaps
https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/tools/compare/bose-smart-sou…
This is with the model up (bose 700 soundbar and bass with speakers) and the q800a (older model) still beats it
@maverickjohn: Good point, thanks.
Strange that they've compared one with satellites now and one without
The samsung is just so big and unwieldy, and I'm not sold on the samsung yearly refreshes, especially considering the samsung can be had for sub $800 so often, it makes me think it's built much more cheaply.
Thanks for the link
@teacherer: Thats completely fair. The bose 700 has a nicer appearance my aunty has one with the 700 bass module.
I have the q900a and it doesnt come close to the sound quality of my 900a but it certainly looks better than my fabricy mess.
https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/tools/compare/bose-smart-sou…
This one actually compares with q800b and same sonos set up as above.
@teacherer: Just listen to the 700. The 700 is close to the q800b minus the 2 upward foring speakers if you like samsung more than bose 700 you would like it more than 500. If you thought the 700 was amazing in comparison to q800b then you may have enjoyed the 500. 700 is a more refined and clearer audio variant with better sound stage than 500
Links to any reviews that say q700 or q800 is better than Bose?
Look above for the higher model bose comparison
As a Q700 owner I say the Bose is way better I think the base is terribly disappointing and centre channel underwhelming at times
