Bose Soundbar 500 review
This is a 3.0-channel unit. The Amazon Bose Soundbar 500 already has an Amazon Alexa voice assistant. With this service, directly through the soundbar, you can control playback, receive information, manage your schedule, etc. The Bose Soundbar 500 perfectly picks up sound around eight microphones, so your teams will be heard no matter how loud your music plays. A light indication will help you know when Alexa is listening, thinking or speaking. Featuring a metal grill, clean lines and sophisticated finishes, the Bose Soundbar 500 is as beautiful on the outside as on the inside. Place the soundbar on the TV stand or gently mount it on the wall.
Bose Soundbar 700 review
Another 3.0-channel unit. Specially designed low-profile speakers with provide clear and powerful sound with a small soundbar thickness. An acoustic waveguide, made using proprietary PhaseGuide technology, distributes and directs the sound of the speakers, creating a surround sound that is evenly saturated with frequencies. You will hear sounds from points outside the soundbar. Optimum sound in all conditions with ADAPTIQ sound calibration, which adjusts the soundbar to the acoustic properties of the room. QuietPort technology avoids air turbulence resulting from a high amplitude speaker oscillation in a small volume.
