The new lineup centres on three components, the Bose Lifestyle Ultra Speaker, Bose Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar, and Bose Lifestyle Ultra Subwoofer are designed to operate either as standalone products or as part of a broader, scalable system. Availability is set for May 15, with pre-orders open now.
The new collection builds on Bose’s earlier Lifestyle systems, first introduced in 1990, and the Wave radio, which followed in 1993, both of which helped establish the brand’s approach to compact, design-led home audio.
Raza Haider, president of premium consumer audio at Bose, said the new range is centred on simplicity and everyday usability:
With the Lifestyle Collection, we wanted every detail to serve a singular purpose: making exceptional sound easy to enjoy. The flexibility, refined aesthetic, and experience are all built to fit into life at home, delivering on the one central promise that has defined Bose for decades: that sound matters.
The system is designed to scale depending on the space. A single Lifestyle Ultra Speaker can be used on its own, or paired for stereo. The Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar can operate as an all-in-one home theatre solution, or be expanded with the subwoofer and additional speakers to form a 7.1.4 setup.
Setup is handled through an updated Bose app, which guides users through installation and manages Wi-Fi credentials, permissions and connected services. Once configured, the system can be controlled via the app, onboard controls, voice assistants, including Alexa+, or a compatible TV remote.
The platform supports Google Cast, Apple AirPlay, Spotify Connect and Bluetooth, allowing content to stream directly from supported services. Multiroom playback can also extend across devices from other manufacturers using Google Home or AirPlay.
Technically speaking, the Lifestyle Ultra Speaker uses a three-driver configuration with two front-facing drivers and one up-firing unit, drawing on Bose’s Direct/Reflecting design approach. TrueSpatial processing is used to introduce height and spatial effects, while CleanBass and QuietPort technologies are employed to extend low-frequency performance from a compact enclosure.
The Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar features a new acoustic design with six full-range drivers, a centre tweeter and additional PhaseGuide elements. It supports Dolby Atmos playback, with processing designed to create a sense of height and spatial placement from a single enclosure. SpeechClarity processing provides adjustable dialogue enhancement, while CustomTune room calibration adapts performance based on the listening environment.
The Lifestyle Ultra Subwoofer is a wireless bass module designed to handle low-frequency reproduction, working alongside the soundbar and speakers to improve overall system balance and clarity.
Across the range, Bose has adopted a consistent design language, with fabric grilles, curved enclosures and glass accents. The products are offered in Black and White Smoke finishes, with the Lifestyle Ultra Speaker also available in a limited Driftwood Sand option featuring a white oak base.
The Bose Lifestyle Collection is priced at US$299 for the Lifestyle Ultra Speaker, US$1,099 for the Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar, and US$899 for the Lifestyle Ultra Subwoofer. Broader regional availability and pricing have yet to be confirmed.
