Bose Soundbar 500 vs Bose Solo 5

Bose Soundbar 500 review

The Bose sound bar 500 fits discreetly under your TV screen, so you won’t even know it’s there - until you hear it. Built-in voice assistants, like Alexa and the Google assistant, let you enjoy millions of songs, internet radio stations, playlists, and more - hands free. Experience superior voice pickup from a custom-designed eight-microphone array that will still hear you even over loud music. In addition, the Bose Music app is another easy way to control the 3.0-channeled Bose Soundbar 500. It’s very easy to save your favorite channels using the app. Several users can personalize their settings and content. Bose Soundbar 500

Bose Solo 5 review

What is noticed from the first glance is the minimum dimensions, can be put, can be hung. The appearance is practical, the device does not rush into the eyes. There is convenient universal remote control that allows you to control other home appliances. Bluetooth support is far from nonsense for those who do not want one device for most tasks. Proprietary technologies, TrueSpace, increased speech intelligibility - all this works very well in films, series, games. There are 2.0 built-in channels. To add, this playbar has the power output of 100W. Bose Solo 5

Bose Soundbar 500 pros & cons

Pros

  • The build quality of the soundbar is durable and the design is sleek
  • The installation and setup was easy but I wouldn't say quick
  • Watching movies is a whole new experience and makes it way more enjoyable

Cons

  • Alexa quit after one week. After going through every troubleshooting step, I found the thing that did work (so far) is unplugging it for 30 seconds

Bose Solo 5 pros & cons

Pros

  • Auto shut off. Walk away and it will turn itself off after a period of no activity
  • No more turning the volume up when someone is speaking and having to turn it down because the sound effects are to loud

Cons

  • Remote massive and overkill in buttons most will never use
