I listened to both in store and fell in love with the Sonos sound, and the Bose iPhone level design. The outstanding musicality of the audio, whole home audio option, and Sonos app design were the difference maker for me.

[DirtCheap]

I have both with surround speakers. Bose with subwoofer has more impact but Sonos with surrounds and sub is more encapsulating (at least in my situation). Bose surround speakers with a detached power brick is a no go. And don't forget the app experience where Sonos has a huge advantage. Bose is trying in terms of software but not there yet. Build quality of Bose bar feels superior. I prefer Sonos because of ease of use and integration. Overall sound has more impact with Bose but not by much. Just enjoy whatever you end up with.

After viewing many reviews and in-store limited listening experience I zeroed down on bose 900. It's absolutely amazing. Personal preference but I like bose better looking and better built as well

[lanyburnett]

Own Bose 700 and Sonos Arc (full sets). Both are awesome systems. The Bose is the absolute best with music, and the sub is definitely better. But, the Sonos sounds amazing with movies, and the base isn’t bad either. I do hate that you can’t adjust the center channel on the Arc. They both are great!

[Lokahi-fo-life]

With speakers only buy what you can hear the difference that sounds good to you. Don’t get hung up on what other people think. I always think of my dad, because he can’t hear the nuances of fine high end speakers. He just wants something that is loud enough, he hears or like mids more than clear highs or deep bass. In short only spend money that you can afford and makes a difference to you, because you’re the one who will be listening to it most.

I have bose 900, module 700 and rear speakers. Bose is the best soundbar ever period!!!

[gutenbird]

Just got the Sonos today and it's very good. It actually sounds better at home than the store probably because it has walls to bounce sound off of. Also the set up was ridiculously easy. Almost didn't even have to do anything but download the app.

[skye]

Just tested in store. Are Sonos paying for these vids?? Bose was the clear winner. Much more powerful and is clearly the more premium looking.

[KoldSteel]

You mentioned Bluetooth is the only feature that is not available on the Sonos. To my knowledge of looking it up online. The Bose speaker also supports Google Home integration with Chromecast. The Sonos does not have Chromecast. I think if someone is into the Google ecosystem and uses Chromecast this might be a deciding factor. I own the Bose Portable Home speaker and love the the Chromecast function on it and it plays along side all my other Chromecast Audio enabled speakers/receivers as well as the regular Chromecast with Google TV that are not made by Bose of course!!

Are you able to confirm if this sound bar supports Chromecast like the Portable Home Speaker does? Greatly appreciated, thanks!

[drumbyte]

Thanks for mentioning that with eARC I can control the volume from the TV remote!

I have both side by side, The sonos in don't waste your money. If you don't feed it 5.1 it is useless. The woofer is just lackluster, Barely on. The Bose, even with the smallest woofer sounds better. Voice is better, mids are better Bass is soooo much better with the bass module 700. The sonos cannot keep up. The Bose also has a large volume advantage. I disagree with the reviewer, the Sonos sounds really bad in comparison with music. As for the surrounds, the sonos is more traditional, "sit here and it sounds good" the Bose makes use of omnidirectional speakers so its different, I feel its more true to life. Go listen to both side by side and you will see. The Bose has the same options for multi room so again the reviewer is clearly bias.
Do yourself a huge favor, if you want a bar, go listen to them side by side, not at different stores, compare the same content and decide for yourself. in my opinion BOSE is FAR FAR superior.
As for the app. Bose has a superior ease of use! but dont take my word for it, go see for yourself, try them out and make your own decision. THIS review is BIAS though.

[billyfurtado]

I bought both for Black Friday used them both for one week used the Sonos first then then Bose I had a lot of issues with hdmi cec with my Lg oled c1 connected to my ps5, cable, Xbox lots of cut outs honestly thought the sound was better but as soon as I went back to the arc that’s when you understand “you don’t miss something until it’s gone” love the arc. Just buy both and return one sound is pretty subjective.

[Thunderhawk]

I tried those two as well as the Sony HT-A7000 and got the Sony with it’s Bass and rear speakers. It got such a clear sound and knows how to make the most out of what you throw at it

[matthewallman]

I stayed with my friends out in west Palm Beach and lived with the Arc for a month and it's awesome for music and movies. I tried the 900 and fell in love with it for movies and gaming so that's what I bought. You really gotta try both and decide for yourself. I paired it with the LG C2 55" module 700, and surrounds. The LG C2 sits low so it helps that it is low profile and I don't see the reflection of the glass because I sit lower than the bar with a slight cant towards me for great Atmos effects. Also I will say that I prefer the design of the Bose more as well it just looks more classy. The arc reminds me of those overhyped Beats Pills from back in the day, lol.

[rodelnacionales]

Boss with bass module 700 is outstanding!!👆

[Vamo_Alla]

You’re 100% right on how well Dolby atmos sound on Sonos arc. Even the Sonos beam gen 2 is very impressive 😎🙌

[philiplee]

Sonos Arc handles clarity better when it comes to lets say the film you're watching has lots of ambient noise such as New York street, and there are lots of people. Arc delivers better atmospheric sound clarity. Bose distorts the sound because it doesn't handle bass very well. When you use the sub, bass usually overpowers sound within the environment.

[ghostspartan]

Sponsor and brought to you by sonos. Sonos soundbar are average at best. bose hands down the clear winner can't beat bose quality and sound period...

[TC_Prof]
