I own the Bose and am very happy with it. Simple to use and excellent customer support

Forgot to mention if you have two sonos ones you could use them as rear surround speakers with your sound bar to get the full 5.1 home theater. I love my sonos products

I have a Bose one, and I am a very happy owner.
All goodies fly off the window once you own a speaker. You will use it in a way you can't imagine.
Mine for example, I thought I was going to use it with Wifi with spotify, and I end up using it with bluetooth most of the time.

I've been into a store to listen to both - Bose wins - the difference is clear. The Sonos are very mid to high end heavy and had almost no bass - probably good as rear surround speakers but not for wifi sound and they were only good as a pair. The Bose had good bass for a speaker in this size and, the balance of sound was great.

Wish the Sonos had Blu tooth pairing. Other than that it's a great speaker

Two years later I wonder if you can pair two of the Bose 300 as stereo now?

I was looking into Bose but the Sonos having a driver and a tweeter and the Bose just having a full range made a huge difference

[leonard]

please do provide an opinion about the sound quality, subjectively - you can never hear over youtube, over computer/phone/pad sound - so share which one truly gave the best thrill with the music YOU lik?! thanks

From the sound examples, Sonos focuses on 130hz and up, and Bose focuses on 130hz and down. The kick is clearer on Sonos and the bass (rumble) is clearer on the bose

I couldn’t make Google assistant work on the Sonos One and have returned it to the store after 4 days of trying and with the help of Sonos customer support. I am now going to try the Bose and hope that’s better at the job. Anyone have any thoughts on Google assistants compatibility with either of these?

what i like bose they always durable product i never disappointed with bose product

[npxmnpxm]

Is it my imagination or does the Bose sound slightly muffled compared to the Sonos?

[tadeuszlufik]

If only you could pair the Bose as you can with Sonos!

[CenationTroop]

Is the Bose home speaker 500 worth the extra money over the 300? Can’t decide on which one to get

[HomeTheaterTurkey]

What about watching movie with wifi connection, is there any delay with the sound and picture ?

[davidhill]

Sonus all the way. Bose dropped the ball years ago. Mind you I have a pair of Bose 301s. WoW. But there very very old now about 30 years old. They have savage bass too. But Bose is gone too much on shifting units instead of good products. Just my opinion

[WHYxSOxSERiiOUS]

There is never any point in showing what they sound like when we arent hearing it from the actual speaker.

[michaelromeo]

Love Sonos.. Thanks for the information provided

Does the Bose offer Alexa Routines? Sonos hasnt updated that in over a year

Looking for a speaker for my elderly parents. They are not tech savy and do not wish to speak to a speaker so the presets on the Bose would do the job fro us.
