Overview

Details mean everything. So we compromised on nothing.

The first thing you notice is the beautiful design. Then you turn it on, and powerful audio pours from our redesigned Jewel Cube speakers. If you want great performance—and value—in a Bose surround sound system, you’ll find that the Lifestyle 600 home entertainment system delivers on those expectations. And with SoundTouch included, it goes well beyond traditional home cinema. For movies, TV, sports and music, it’s a great choice to keep everyone fully entertained.

 

Spotlight on speakers

Our Jewel Cube speakers have long been the standard for prodigious sound from a small design. Precisely angled drivers within each enclosure reproduce a blend of direct and reflected sound for greater spaciousness and no “sweet spots”. Sit anywhere you like—you’ll experience an immersive audio experience that adds depth and drama to whatever you watch. And when it’s time to relax with a favourite playlist, you’ll appreciate the clarity and fullness of your music.

 

The centre channel provides clear dialogue for movies and TV shows, plus pristine vocals from your favourite music. Its horizontal design fits in well with your TV, with a small footprint that makes it easy to place.

Thunderous bass. Wireless connectivity.

The Lifestyle 600 system is more than its Jewel Cube speakers. You also get resounding bass performance for movies and music from a wireless Acoustimass module. With its premium glass top finish, it delivers on sound and style. A powerful driver and QuietPort technology combine for best in class performance for its size. 

 

Statements in elegance, continued …

The polished glass curvature of the console has a singular style you can’t ignore. But it’s more than just good looks. The console houses all of your technological needs: Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi®, and Apple AirPlay 2 compatibility for wireless music streaming, 4K video compatibility, 6 HDMI™ inputs and more. And it’s all controlled with a universal remote.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent home entertainment system I bought Lifestyle 600 couple of days back, it's sound quality is amazing. I already having Bose Cinemate 520 in another room. Before buying I had 3 options evaluated - Opt-1: Bose Acoustimass 10 with Marantz SR5014 which will help expanding to ATMOS later, Opt-2: Bose Soundbar 700 complete set and Opt-3: Bose Lifestyle 600. Since I needed multiple connectivity requirement like TV, FireStick, PS4 etc. - Bose Soundbar 700 gone out of my view, I hate depending on TV for the rest of the connectivity. Between the Opt-1 and Opt-3, I found the Lifestyle 600 wireless & has option to expand to my other SoundTouch compatible Cinemate 520, SoundTouch 10. It's a stretch budget for me compared to other 2 option, but absolutely I'm not concerned now !! I feel I made the right choice, again music is subjective to each one of us.

Apple AirPlay 2 requires a Wi-Fi connection.
