Our Verdict

Sonos Beam

Bose Smart Soundbar 700

When comparing the bars by themselves, the Bose Smart Soundbar 700 is slightly better than the Sonos Beam. The Bose can get slightly louder without as much compression at max volume. It feels better made and has a premium feel, with a glass plate covering. The Bose also has more inputs and can play content wirelessly via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. On the other hand, the Sonos is smaller and easier to fit in your home theater setup.
