Our Verdict

Bose Smart Soundbar 700

Sony HT-Z9F

The Sony HT-Z9F and the Bose Smart Soundbar 700 are very different soundbar setups. The Bose is a premium standalone bar that's better built, has a better soundstage, and comes with built-in voice assistant capabilities. You can also upgrade it to the Bose Smart Soundbar 700 with Speakers + Bass Module for better performance. It doesn't support Dolby Atmos content like the Sony soundbar. The Sony has a dedicated sub included, so it can reproduce a more extended low bass.
