Our Verdict

Bose Smart Soundbar 700 with Speakers + Bass Module

Sonos Beam (Gen 2)

The Bose Smart Soundbar 700 with Speakers + Bass Module is better than the Sonos Beam (Gen 2). The Bose is a 5.1 setup with a dedicated subwoofer and satellites. It can reproduce a more extended low bass, and its surround and soundstage performances are better. Also, it offers more wireless playback options, including Bluetooth. However, some users may prefer the Sonos' smaller, more compact design. Unlike the Bose, the Sonos also supports Dolby Atmos content.
