The Bose Lifestyle 135 Home Entertainment System is equipped with some of the newest audio technology available. Features like TrueSpace signal processing and PhaseGuide sound radiators promise to deliver top quality audio to your living room – but does that translate into any sort of noticeable difference, once you’ve got the equipment set up at home? Let’s take a closer look at the Lifestyle 135, and see what it can really do.
Getting Started
Engineered for fast setup, the Lifestyle 135 can be used in either a vertical or horizontal configuration. Bose’s Flexmount feature allows the system’s speakers to quickly detect their own placement, and adjust their performance accordingly. This functionality becomes truly impressive when combined with Bose’s ADAPTiQ technology. It automatically customizes your speakers to best suit the physical dynamics of your viewing area.
Bose’s Unify feature has taken all the guesswork out of adding components. An intelligent integration system, it’s been designed to walk you through the connectivity process from start to finish. Simply select the device you wish to connect to the Lifestyle 135, and the system will specify which inputs, cables, and ports you’ll need to use. With its intuitive on-screen interface, Unify makes it relatively simple to fine tune your system according to your personal preferences. If customization is something you appreciate, you’ll find some latitude here.
iPod and iPhone users will be thrilled by the system's included dock, which offers easy integration and fast charging while you enjoy your favourite playlists.
Whether it’s a living room, a boardroom, or a rec room, the Lifestyle 135 is a space-efficient solution for all your media presentation needs. Bose’s included universal remote is fully capable of transmitting through walls, so you can enjoy full control over satellite components regardless of which room you’re standing in.
The Lifestyle 135 system is extendable via Bose components. They can be installed in up to fourteen additional listening areas. No bigger than a run-of-the-mill Blu-ray player, Bose’s impressive control console is loaded with features – including six HD and audio inputs, full HDMI connectivity, and an AM/FM radio. It even comes equipped with built-in 1080p upscaling, which gives DVD aficionados a great excuse to revisit their movie libraries.
Impressions
The Acoustimass bass module is the backbone of the Lifestyle 135 system. Completely wireless, the Acoustimass offers thick, radiant low-end performance. It’s perfectly at home alongside the system’s speaker array, which delivers shiny mids and crisp highs. Voices sound particularly authentic, lending a new level of immersion to your favourite media.
A seriously impressive audio system, the Lifestyle 135 pairs well with high end televisions and projectors. Users with larger home theatres will be impressed by the Lifestyle’s incredibly large sound, while owners of more conventional home theatre systems will appreciate its genuinely impressive fidelity. All-in-all, the Lifestyle 135 is an easy-to-install home audio solution, sporting an attractive, space-efficient design.
The Bose Lifestyle 135 home entertainment system not only provides powerful, clear sound for your movies, music, and games, it even helps you set it up through Bose Unify technology and includes the ADAPTiQ feature so you can perfectly calibrate the audio system. The soundbar can be placed on a shelf or wall-mounted, so you can find the ideal positioning to accentuate your home theatre setup.
