Can I make or take calls from the Bose Smart Soundbar 900?
Yes. Using Alexa only, you can directly call other Bose smart products, Amazon Echo products, and anyone in your contacts list. Simply say, “Alexa, call Mom,” to initiate a call. Or say “Alexa, answer,” to accept an incoming call. You do not need your phone to make or take a call, and it’s free of charge. However, when calling products, both parties are required to have this feature set up in order to use and be on Wi-Fi.

My 1 year experience with the Bose Soundbar 900 and why I would not buy it again
To piggy back on this, there are a few TVs that specifically work horrendously with some of the Bose Soundbars. Notably a couple of the LG oled models and ton of the Samsung TVs. I have the Ultra soundbar and it was a nightmare getting the thing to work reliably. The issue comes mainly from HDMI CEC functionality where the TV and the soundbar are fucking up their handshake. Imagine you go to give a buddy a fist bump but he extends his hand out for a handshake. You both then switch, you go for the handshake and your buddy the fist bump. You both laugh and then both switch again. This goes on for eternity between the two. That's literally what's happening. Of course both the TV company and Bose point fingers at the other one saying that they fucked it up when it's the fact both need to just fucking sit down and get their shit together to work right. I still don't know exactly what I did, but on one of the power cycles everything synced up and worked reliably between my LG oled and the soundbar. Reliably is the keyword because I had so many issues with it in the past where it would work but then fail after switching inputs or some other ridiculous little thing that should never have fucked up the handshake. That being said, my samsung TV is a fucking nightmare. It fucks up with my xbox, it fucks up with Bose, it fucks up with playstation, airplay, and anything that's not samsung. I don't know what happened to that company but I always went with Samsung when I could. Even my fucking refrigerator is samsung. Now when I hear that name I practically get ptsd flashbacks. Companies need to start paying attention because they are losing lifelong customers. I've had tons of Bose sound systems over the last 20 years ever since I was blown away by a demo in Best Buy in my late teens. I'm sure as fuck going to reconsider the next time I need a sound system though because I'm also paying for the convenience and ease of use, which gets a little worse every new iteration.

r/bose on Reddit: My 1 year experience with the Bose Soundbar 900 and why I would not buy it again
November 8, 2023 -
So, it's been nearly a year now with my bose soundbar 900 and one of the main reasons for buying it was it's sleek design and of course the Dolby atmos functionality. Knowing Bose for good quality and good sound in general I bought it right away when it was on sale last year.
Although the sound is indeed very good, the one issue I continuously have is that it simply loses connection to whatever it claims to work with.
I stopped using it's "smart" feature just a few months after I bought it because it lost wifi connection (with the router being 2 meters in front of it). And no, doing a proper update of the soundbar never helped.
It also still randomly loses connection to my Samsung TV which it is connected to via hdmi arc. The only annoying way to make it work again is to disconnect the power cable and connect it back again. Until it loses connection in a few days again. Great. The best part is that there is not even a "restart this damn device" functionality via the remote, so you have to fucking disconnect the power cable.
This has been going for nearly a year now and I am extremely pissed off that I spent (wasted) hundreds of euros for such a unreliable soundbar.
This is just a warning for anyone who wants to buy one of these. I am aware that there are also people out there with no issues with the soundbar, congratulations to you lucky people. I just wanted to share my experience, since there is no review functionality on the bose page (maybe for a reason), where I bought my soundbar from.
Cheers.

Seems to be a common theme among Bose products. Sad and inexcusable.

I have a multitude of Bose products from the old waves to the latest and greatest 900 sound bars, the portables etc. as stand alone devices these are great. When you try to connect multiple units to the same network (Home Wi-Fi) they fall TERRIBLY short. There’s always some sort of connection error, network error, loss of control, on and on.
