I learned that it was Sonos that was actually better. I am glad I did this test because I was leaning toward Sonos (due to price) but was going to go with Bose if the sound was MUCH better. The only way to play music on the Bose is through TV, optical, or their limited music service offerings in their app.įinally, I heard that the Sonos Beam is going on sale for Black Friday for $350 and that the Sub will be $600, so I will save another $150 when I ask Best Buy to price match in a week.
Sonos vs bose software#
I've read that it will handle Airplay 2 in 2019 (via software update?), but I thought that meant that only Airplay 1 features would be supported.
The other notable thing is that the Bose could not handle Airplay. One other thing I will say is that the Bose set up had some glitches (as is apparently typical with Bose) while the Sonos setup was quick and flawless. The one advantage the Bose had (aside from loudness) was that the soundstage was considerably larger, which may be a bigger deal for movies and surround effects. Also, the Sonos Sub was just as good, if not better than the Bose. The Bose soundbar just sounded like one big mid-range speaker and you could easily sense the sound was being manipulated by the software (DAC?). The Bose could get louder, but at the volume I typically listen, the Sonos had a more accurate reproduction of the sound. I had two people listen with me and both preferred the Sonos over the Bose (in tests with and without the surround speakers). I fully expected the Sonos Beam to be noticeably worse due to size and price point. Sub and speaker placement was identical and I switched between apps while listening to the same song to compare.
Sonos vs bose movie#
I set them up, tuned them and played some tunes through them so I could have a side by side comparison (I did not do any movie or TV testing). I also purchased two Sonos Play:1 speakers, a Sonos Beam and a Sonos Sub ($1300). I purchased the Bose 700 with 700 sub and surround speakers ($1800). My options were basically limited to Sonos and Bose. I have a large den with an open floor plan (den opens to dining room, foyer and kitchen).
