Bose Soundbar 500 vs Yamaha YAS-209

Bose Soundbar 500 review

The Bose has 3.0 channels while Yamaha owns 2.0. A thin body imperceptibly placed under the TV, and powerful sound fills the entire space of the room. And with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support, you can stream whatever you want in a way that’s convenient for you. Operate the Bose Soundbar 500 soundbar with the included remote control and listen to music through the Bose Music app. In pursuit of pure value, the Soundbar 500 has just five drivers that still deliver impressive performance for its size, making it ideal for a more intimate space.

Yamaha YAS-209 review

The rear panel of the YAS-209 has one HDMI input compatible with 4K and HDR, and an HDMI output with ARC support. There is also an optical input for TVs that do not support ARC, and an Ethernet connector for those who prefer to use a wired network connection than Wi-Fi. Connecting the YAS-209 to the Internet allows, among other things, Spotify Connect. Well, there is also built-in Bluetooth. Alexa responds well to inquiries. It changes the volume and switches sources on the soundbar, and also processes typical assistant requests.
