Pros

Not hard of hearing but I tried the Q990C, Bose Ultra, and Arc Ultra and for dialogue clarity kept the Bose. I’d rank them Bose>Sonos>Samsung for dialogue.
I started with a soundtouch 300 now I'm with the Bose ultra. ... The sound is very clean and crisp. ... I have no regrets with Bose
I tested it against the Bose ultra, and the Sonos Arc Ultra. All of them sounded great, but the Ambeo felt like it lacked that full oomph sound I wanted, but it was very nice clarity. The bose had that full sound I wanted, but so did the...
the Bose Ultra was the best for me dialogue-wise. I really wanted to like the Arc Ultra but to me(and my wife) the Bose was clearly superior for dialogue.
I eventually tried the Arc Ultra/Q990C/Bose Ultra and ended up keeping the Bose Ultra.

Cons

Never heard the Bose ultra but the whole back speaker setup seems like a step back.
Boses sub is really good especially when you have two, but Bose has subpar atmos.
I’ve been looking at the Klipsch Flexus 210, amongst others (Bose ultra, Sennheiser Ambeo plus, Sonos arc or beam 2).
I have been using the Bose Ultra and soundbar 500 for my C4 77
recently upgraded to the ultra and now regretting it as I know the Sonos with rears might sound better.
