No. The Bose Bar connects to the microwave.

Anything without rear speakers or a sub has no business putting the words Atmos on it.

Comparing to the $199 Bose you linked on Amazon, the 550 is the better option; the one on Amazon is a lower end model (though based on similar speaker components). The 550 has 3.0.2 channels (vs 2.0), Dolby Atmos, and adds upward aiming speakers. Can't say anything about the Sony.

Quote from BillyBargains :
That is correct, only compatible with the Bose 500 and 700 powered subwoofers
You can connect other subs with a 3.5mm > stereo RCA > mono RCA > sub LFE. Not officially supported but I'm using mine like this and it works fine. That's a big plus for this soundbar as you should be able to connect any old used sub with $10 worth of cable adapters instead of being locked into an overpriced branded wireless sub.

I think I read that it only connects to a specific Bose sub.

Does it give enough base for workout?

Well you're paying more for the labeling of Atmos & convenience/aesthetics than actual Atmos performance.TBH there is no comparison. Even with traditional setups, up firing setups are an alternative. Some even have the same tech soundbars use to give you "Atmos" (ie Virtual X/Auro/Neutral X).Soundbars are used for digital streaming, that content is very much a drop in Atmos performance.
Even if you are streaming, if you are using Plex it can be a bluray remux with TrueHD audio.

Is this popular because it is Bose ? Why not get this Samsung with dedicated subwoofer?

Unfortunately those tiny speakers mostly in a bar can't take advantage of what Atmos is designed to do.
It's physics, no way around that.

I have this samsung model bought open box model at sams. While i like overall sound, it doesn't match bose sound clarity. And moreover the base from samsung version is mediocre. I will lean towards bose if you are comparing these 2 models. Eventually you should get external sub for bose as the soundbar doesn't produce much of bass you expect. But sound clarity itself is best.

Certainly, but even with a soundbar it sounds a bit better with Atmos, and TRUEHD Atmos better than DD+ Atmos. Would love to have a full setup with in wall downward firing speakers, but unlikely to happen in an apartment.
