I don't see it either. Maybe we just have to wait a couple years now to get it.  ... View more

But according to Bose it worked fine. All you need to do is use optical and connect video directly to the TV. Just look through the forums. ... View more

Yes it is thier top of the line system. You think it would work right. After 2 years I gave up waiting for them to do that. They had even replaced mine once. But I finally had enought and put it on ebay.    And that was the best thing i ever did, I now have a atmos system and every thing works right. Wish I did this long time ago.   And Bose is so overpriced I was able to get enough to pay for the replacement system.  ... View more

And this is basically the same thing they have been saying for a while now.   This is just like when they say. Thats a good idea we will pass it along to development. This is pretty much what we here about every thing. I am just not sure developement at bose works on updating exsisting products. Just making new ones   I hope that don't really think this means a thing. I also remember some one from Bose saying early 2019.   @boseowner250 wrote: What he said was that he contacted the development team and heard from them that they will release a software update at the end of august 2019.  He also said that as the moment there is no official information, but that we could assume that it would release that date.    The AirPlay 2 update for the Bose Home speakers was also unannounced. So i don't think there will be an official statement. I have come to beleive that no one from bose will actally give you an answer that means much.  ... View more

Some people actuall like Bose hardware. It really is well designed. But being that Bose is a high priced brand they need to stay up on what customers reall want.    I have had lifestyle systems in my home theater for years now. But as much as I like my 650 for size I finally got to the point where it was not only apple promising arplay 2 but thet are behind in the tech. Thinks like 7.1 and atmos they seem to think thay we don't want because ethey do good enough with 5.1.   Well I have sold my 650 and replaced it with a airplay 2 compatible receiver. While my system has increased in size it also has increased in how much i enjoy it. The 650 is Bose's best home theater system. And for what I sold it for i was able to replace it with something i think is better.     Defend Bose all you want but as there are losing people like me who really liked bose products. I was a long time supporter i have been buying bose for years. I am hoping that they finally get it together and fix the soundtouch line but it not something i am counting on. Bose seems to be droping from the good high quality product it used to be.  ... View more

i am sure by now Bose has forgot they promised it. ... View more

@jimgfitz wrote: And I know I sound like a broken record, but if you have a Bose Soundtouch 300 and multiple Bose Soundtouch devices, just get an Apple TV 4K and all will be good.   How will all be ok. You have to turn on the TV and turn on the Apple TV. And then you have to leave them on so all will work.   How about we get Airplay 2 so I can just send from my device without turning all that on. That is getting airplay 2 implemented properly. Some trhing I don't thnk will ever happen on a soundtouch prouduct.    But bose has some new hardware that works.  ... View more

No they have not. And I doubt they ever will.  ... View more

I also did not receive a reply from mr hess.    Well I solved my issue and sold the 650 on ebay. I know this is not a option for everyone. But after waiting 2 years for Apple to fix this issue I replced it with another product. While I may not have the nice small speakers I now have a A/V system that actuall passes through all my devices and they all work properly.   While I know Bose could care less about me leaving I really like having a system that works properly now.   ...

They don't ignore us. After all they always tell us they will pass it to development.  ... View more

I bought a 650 as soon as they wefre introduced. I am finally happy with it. I sold it and  bought a Denon system.,   It is so nice to have a A/V reveiver that now actaull works propertly.  ... View more

I don't think there ius really any thing you can do. I would love to be able to sue Bose for the POS they sold me. But i don't think that will happen.      ... View more

I keep looking at all the posts on this website and HDR. I had a lifestyle 650 and all i ever had with is was issues. I found early with it that the best way to use it was pass all video to the TV first. Then all worked properly as long as bose did not process video.The apple tv had dolby vision enabled. And all I ever has was sound droup out. Seemed like every couple of months I had to reset the system and it would start working again. Otherwise I would get strange noises like thunder in the sound. Bass drop outs a lot.    After sitting in a demo of atmos I got interested in replacing and getting a atmos system. I am to the conclusion that bose would never supply this other than making me buy new hardware. It talking with the salepeople I was always told me I did not need atmos or 7.1 because they did such a good job with 5.1 i would not need it.   Well I finally sold my 650 and replaced it with a denon amp and a klipsch speaker system. While not as small as the bose speakers it does sound really good. Actually I would say better because I am able to now have what bose said i did not need. better that 5.1   And I now can feed all my video sources into the amp rather than going to the TV. All works propely Dolby vision passes through the amp properly and makes it to my TV.    I was a long time bose fan. I had a 535 and upgraded to the 650. I loved the small size and when it worked it sounded really good.    But I have had the replacement for a few weeks now. And it sounds better and I have not had a single issue with it at all. And as a bonus it supports all the features that bose says i do not need.    I was able to sell the old system on ebay and with some luck catching all the new stuff on sale I ended up with a little cash left over. I was suprised with what I got on ebay for the old system. I recomend that any of you that are unhappy dump this POS and get some thing you will be happy with.   Bye Bye bose. ... View more

I used to think that Bose was a company that I wanted to have thier products. And that used to be the case. But over the last few years the kind of support that they have given has changed.   It seems like the anserws are a;ways the same.   Did you reset it?   Excelent sugestion we will pass it to the development team.   We have no information on this right now we will update you as soon as we know more.   Well I have slowly been replaceing soundtouch with homepods. I have replaced my home theater system now also.   All last tear they were telling us that airplay 2 will be avaiable early 2019. And what they did was only release it for the new products they sell. Well this is not good enough for me.   Well my lifestyle system sold this week I now don't really care if bose ever updates now. My new system does what I want. And to me it sounds just as good as the bose. And i can now have 7.1 and atmos. Stuff bose says i don't need. Well it does sound a lot beeter to me so i am not sure bose really cares about keeping up with technology. They just think we don't need it as they think the current syste sounds good enough. Well goodbye bose. I am pretty sure i will never again but a highly overpriced system that is not keep up to date.    I would be willing to bet that new hardware from bose will be out soon that has the new features. A least if bose want to sat in business they need to. ... View more

After years of being a bose customer i fiannly got tired of bose not vcaring about what i wanted. No airplay 2. No apple music because they got into a fight with apple.    I sold my 650 yesterday. I have been using a Denon receiver with Klipsch speakers. While not as small as the bose system I now have a system with sall the features i want and Atmos capable.   And the best part is no sound dropping any more like it did with the bose system.And best part is it was all replaced without any more $ output. I even made enough selling the bose i can afford to add in atmos speakes and alos now have 11.1. Some thing Boase said I did not need. Well all I have to say is I wish I had done this earlier. It sonds better than before.   ... View more

Do not expect much from Bose. All they ever say is it is in development.   I have never seen them add anything other than a clock to soundtouch products. I am not counting on it ever to be added.  They gave us a clock but no timer. that should have been easy as it is in the soundtouch on the wave product.    But you are welcome to buy the new like of Bose proiducts. Myself i decided if i want airplay 2 i needed to buy from a company that actaully will supply it. I am replacing all my soundtouch junk with homepods.    At least Apple did not promise me some thing and then not deliver it.  ... View more
