Bose released the Lifestyle Ultra Collection in May 2026, making available the Lifestyle Ultra Speaker, Soundbar, and Subwoofer for purchase through Bose, Amazon, and Best Buy [1, 2]. The Lifestyle Ultra Speaker is priced at $299, the Ultra Soundbar at $1,099, and the Ultra Subwoofer at $899 [1].
The Lifestyle Ultra Speaker measures 7.27 x 4.77 x 6.59 inches and weighs 3.7 pounds [2]. It features a front-firing woofer and tweeter along with an up-firing driver to enhance sound projection [1, 2]. John Higgins, a reviewer, said he was surprised by how big it sounded for its size and by its crisp vocal clarity [1]. The speaker supports Apple AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Google Cast, and is the first third-party device to support Amazon Alexa Plus [1]. Connectivity options include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and a 3.5mm aux input, allowing multirooom usage with AirPlay and Google Cast [1, 2].
The Ultra Speaker sports a fabric grille, touch controls featuring a volume radial slider, and a limited-edition Driftwood Sand color with a wooden base [2]. It is seen as a competitor to the Sonos Era 100 speaker due to its features and price point [1, 2].
The Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar supports Dolby Atmos and offers a wide soundstage but on its own lacks strong low-end bass [1]. The Ultra Subwoofer is designed to pair with the soundbar to fill in bass frequencies and deliver a fuller overall sound experience [1].
Consumers can buy the full collection starting in May 2026 at major retailers, marking Bose’s latest entry into the premium home audio market [1, 2].
