Bose Turns up the Volume on Home Audio with Its Sleekest and Smartest Lifestyle Collection
The revived lineup adds Bose’s latest room-correction and spatial audio features, with prices starting at $299 and sales beginning May 15.
- On Tuesday, Bose announced its new Lifestyle Collection, featuring the Bose Lifestyle Ultra Speaker , Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar , and Lifestyle Ultra Subwoofer , designed to work together or separately for home audio.
- Bose revived the iconic Lifestyle branding, which originally debuted in 1990 but was discontinued in 2022, marking what the company called a 'reentering' into the home speaker space.
- All three devices support Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, and Spotify Connect for multi-room audio, with the speaker featuring a 3.5mm auxiliary port for connecting turntables and analog devices.
- Except for the Bass Module 700, the new products lack backward compatibility with older Bose gear, though the collection introduces Alexa+ integration, available first in the U.S.
- Bose targets competitors like the Sonos Era 100 and Apple HomePod 2 with its modular system, allowing consumers to purchase products gradually rather than committing to a complete setup upfront.
