That's what she said…
Back In Stock
Out of stock ….
But this deal has both sound bar AND subwoofer module, for the price of one Sonos…
That's the common misconception.
Having a subwoofer doesn't make it better.

Niether of them have a sub mate. This deal does…
@teacherer: Yes, and just because a subwoofer is added to the Bose 500 won't make it sound better than the Sonos Beam.
@1r4n14n: It will definitely have more bass, which is the point of the sub.
Of course the beam sounds better, but it lacks the sub, therefore, the Bose will inevitably have more bass than the sonos
Having a subwoofer gives you more bass which is the point of the device to begin with. Your comparison of a sound bar vs soundbar + subwoofer makes no sense here. As an overall package you are getting much better value for money and a greater audio experience from this bundle.
@thousandsuns: It makes a lot of sense.
What's the point of adding bass to a soundbar that doesn't sound as good as one without a subwoofer? I know which one I would rather purchase. No brainer really.
@1r4n14n: You're talking as if a $650 subwoofer does absolutely nothing at all for the overall audio experience… facepalm. I'm finding it difficult to figure out how you think lol.
PS: I'm talking about overall audio and entertainment experience. Agree sound quality is not enhanced by the subwoofer and that's never its purpose to begin with. The bass still serves its purpose.
@thousandsuns: I understand what you're saying but I sure as shit ain't favouring bass over sound quality. Anyway, not my money, not my concern.
Any deals on Bose Surround Speakers?
Some people questioning why one brand is pricier than the other and that means the other is lesser quality surely haven't been buying much in AV in the past. Bose is known for being pricey for what you get. Actually some people would never got near a Bose but I am not saying they are that bad. But you can't compare their RRP to another brands RRP and say they must be better because they are priced more.
Yeah, like how this is somehow worth $1450 LOL.
was going to ask where you got $795 from lol
Cashback tracked for $20, not bad
Yeah I wonder if shopback would have been more
Guys I just canceled my order no need
Not sure if anyone still wants to buy but have a look
How come?
Received my sound bar awaiting subwoofer
Same.
How is it
Still in box lol, waiting for sub.
I have just received cancellation email from Amazon regarding subwoofer
oof
Same here
took them a week to realise 😆 ended up getting the soundbar itself for $372.38, which is a great deal considering $799 everywhere else
Same here. Pretty disappointing, but got a good deal on the Soundbar nonetheless.
mine was cancelled with no email
Received cancellation, but got the sound bar, not sure if it will affect my cashback of $20
Cancellation received as well, have organised a return back to Amazon.
I must say, returning the soundbar was easy.
Did the return via amazon, went to the post office and they printed the label using the QR code and provided a receipt.
3 hrs later, funds credited to my Amazon account.
I got the same cancellation email. Very disappointed tbh and tossing up whether to return it.
I know!!! I am exactly in the same boat. I am pretty happy with it, but it's pretty limited now as I'm not forking out $500+ for the bass module.
Got cancellation email, I will be returning mine. Unless someone in SE melb wants it.
Yup received the cancellation email as well but $372.38 for the soundbar is pretty good - if you are desperate Myers has a sale on the Bass module for 520 which is 148 more than what we originally paid.
Sub in amazon deal was 277 so 520 is 243 more
Oh Yeah ah well the soundbar was a pretty good deal
It’s a good price, perfect for a smaller room but I feel it really needs the sub (in my case)
@PlagueistheCheap: Feel the same too. Gutted its cancelled. Not too sure now if I should return and get samsung/jbl/sonos instead.
Mine's going back. Someone buying returned pallets is going to hit jackpot.
Yeah, I'm returning the sound bar.
Have a feeling that it was a price error all along.
But they were too quick to ship to sound bar?
With the split, Amazon did $373 for the sound bar and $277 for the sub.
How much more (usually) is the sound bar compared to the sub?
The sound bar has been as low as $500 in the past:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/507869
how come I was charged $392.37 for the sound bar but others were charged $372.38? should I just cancel it and return the sound bar?
Does anybody have an image of the invoice for the soundbar? I'm trying to see if I can claim the difference I was charged through customer service.
cheers mate! they ended up giving me a $20 credit anyways lol
I will cancel the sound bar and wait for the next Samsung deal
so is the sound bar useless without the other part?
No, soundbar works as stand-alone as well, but sounds better with a sub.
it works fine, just sounds weak.. (basically no base.. sounds pretty weird)
sounds like half keeping half returning. I am confuse
Or half are keeping half while the other half return half?
Check out the price : Bose Soundbar 500 with Alexa Voice Control Built-in, Black https://amzn.asia/d/fBKy1dt
Historical low is $500. $373 is good price for it.
told them i was very disappointed in them and that our friendship was now going to require a make up stage.
They said they will try their best to get back to best friend status…
To be Continued…
Well, if anyone was super disappointed that they didn't get the subwoofer like me here is my experience. I contacted the chat service about it and chatted with two representatives. The first one offered me a $10 promotional credit for the incovenience and after I pushed him a little he said that when the subwoofer comes back in stock, if I purchase it and it arrives I can then contact the chat service again for a debit refund of the price difference (matching the price we got it for here). I got disconnected with that guy but the new one kept reffering back to the promise the first one said (almost as if the first one shouldn't of promised me that in the first place) but I can't confirm if this is the case. So perhaps everyone can try this to see if they can still get the sub? I made sure to grab that $10 promtional credit as well :)
They didn't even offer me $10, even though they charged me more than others for the sound bar. I did receive the sae offer but I doubt they will have this back in stock.
Oh you think it will never be restocked? And you should of told the support service that your brother got the same deal but was charged differently?
The CS agent I had told me it wasnt delivered as I did not have enough funds on my card. There is certainly enough on the card. Some people just like to make things up.
@PlagueistheCheap: I personally enjoy them constantly disconnecting and getting someone new every 5 minutes or so or when they seem stuck on what to say
back in stock now if you're still interested in that price match.
same boat, order for the sub was cancelled. trying to get them to re-establish it as the soundbar itself has great sound quality, (not enough bass obviously). otherwise would have to return it and shop around for new soundbars….
Even with subwoofer this was never a good deal to begin with.
But thats just really bad that they cancelled everyones subwoofer .
Honestly sometimes the temptation of seeing things like buy ine get one free makes you decide to purchase. In this case it would have been better for everyone to buy the q800b that was recently on sale
Is the sound bar 500 worth keeping at $372.38?
Or should I ask for a return postage label?
Suppose thats up to you. Still an all time low.
Returned my sound bar and talk to the chat, they offered me $15 amazon credit for the inconvenience
Mine was $10. LIARS
I got $30.
Sub is back in stock for those looking to price match this deal (only applies to those whose original order from this deal was cancelled and you have confirmation from amazon they will price match)
https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07G9N7CFL?ref=ppx_pt2_…
Can you confirm if you have successfully pricematched it? If so, mind screenshot of the order/chat? Trying it now via chat, not much luck so far. Ta.
They assured me that in order to price match, I must pay full price, recieve the item, then contact them for the price match. So unfortunately I can't provide anything at the moment. Sorry. But I give you the ozbargain guarantee i'm not making up the price match story. I would definetly not purchase full price if you haven't first confirmed they will price match when it arrives. Perhaps tell them you've heard others have been offered a price match from their original order?
Thanks. Got it through via phone call. No luck on chat. Refund upon shipment.
They're now denying responsibility for the partial refund - let me know how you go.
@Garbotoxin: if they have written confirmation in previous chats that they will infact refund the amount once ordered and delivered how can they now deny doing it?
@Jamesozbargain: I asked them repeatedly to check the previous CS rep's responses but the guy kept saying their lead is denying it.
@Garbotoxin: I'll let you know how i go once mine arrives. Maybe keep yours in box incase you need to return. Or maybe you just got a bad CS rep, perhaps a phone call will fix.
@Jamesozbargain: I got them to escalate to any other teams to have it resolved - they said they'll call within 24 hours
@Garbotoxin: Goodluck, from reading this thread seems like a LOT of people are getting different outcomes when talking to CS
@Garbotoxin: That's bad. It's not like amazon can't take a small loss on this. PLUS we original bought it at that price and they cancelled it on us. That's garbage
@Garbotoxin: How did you go? Mine came yesterday night. Contacted chat straight away and after maybe 20 minutes of the CS person 'working out' the situation he asked if I wanted it back on my card or in promotion credit. (Although I had explicitly asked if it will and can be put on my card when they issued the price match statement and they agreed.)
So went very smoothly on my end. Hope yours got sorted too.
perfect, got support to acknowledge refund upon order completion of the Bass Module!
thanks guys; got a promotional credit of the price difference(A$243) which is cool with me!
How does the system sound?
I ask chat, but the rep only offered 20% discount on the sub, around$100.
Havent had a similar system and cant comment much comparison. But this sounds awesome for both tv and streaming music. So much clarity and awesome sound after adding the bass module. For $650 its a stunning deal for Bose!!!
I did hear this setup at JB HI FI (sound bar was new 300) and I was impressed.
My bass sub comes tomorrow and im quite keen to hear her
had another go with amazon customer care no luck in getting $240 credit or the sub at its original price.
Same for me… guess I will put it in the bedroom, no sub required.
Is there an easy way to wall mount it ?
Just got off the phone, they agreed to honour the price and will provide a refund on the difference once I receive my sub.
Already received the sub and refund of $253
Yep I also managed to get $253 refund. Had to go through 2 different customer service agents but eventually got it.
Got offered a 5% discount on the sub…lol
