A few days ago, I was reading through the press release for Bose’s new Smart Soundbar when not one but both of my eyebrows were raised. It had nothing to do with the design – there’s only so much you can do with a long rectangular bar, after all. And it had nothing to do with the price tag, which is £500 / $499 / AU$800, in case you were wondering.
What really caught my eye was the mention of a specific new feature which I thought was bonkers and brilliant in equal measure. I actually had to re-read the press release just to make sure I hadn’t misread the explanation of Bose Personal Surround Sound.
