I did a ton of research on both of these units and I ended up getting the Bose 900 with the base module 500 and it is very nice. I’m really enjoying it

We have the same setup. Just got my upgrade from 500 to 900 with base module 500. And I thought, that I have not yet established a good equalizer setting. I you don’t mind, can you share your equalizer settings? I am into movie sound effects. Maybe we have the same taste. Thanks in advance!

Hands down this is a great review! I personally like the way the Bose 900 sounds in movies and music. I feel the Sonos Arc over enhances the mids and highs to give the impression of detail, and like you said once you raise the volume I could hear more distortion out of the Sonos.

@hitendramahida 2 года назад

Watching this on my 900 which I now own for 2 weeks. I have spent hours comparing this 2 systems and here are my views. 1) Bose has great soundstage while Sonos has clarity on vocals. 2) for music Sonos could be better , Bose 900 for movies. 3) regardless of the system you would need surround speaker to enhance the overall experience. 4) on standalone bar basis , Bose wins hands down. Great sound on all frequency range.

@davoncci 2 года назад

I have heard the Sonos Sub is better than the Bose Bass Module. So, could you compare them as a system because the Bose might better as a stand alone, but the Sonos might be better with the Sub as it unloads the bass to the sub than the Bose with the Bass module? So, system to system, Which is better?

@hitendramahida 2 года назад

@@davoncci honesty both systems are great and you won’t be disappointed. I like Sonos SUB because it doesn’t vibrate floor, Bose does 2) Bose does have option to include expensive 700 as surround which are 360 and have much better feel while sonos with SL1 is okay but great with sonos5 as surround. 3) Bose bar has better functionality having Alexa as you can use bar to call 📞 people and drop in to announce message , sonos cannot.

I ended up going for the Sonos Arc, dual Gen 3 subs, and two Fives as rear surrounds with my LG OLED 77C1. I ran Trueplay and adjusted the EQ to my liking. Love sci-fi and action movies. Sonos works for my set-up.

@randhirreddyphotography Год назад

Just in case if you are not aware, there is an option in Sonos app to increase/decrease the intensity of the bass if you think its overpowering or under powering. There is also a setting which emphasises the dialogue clarity if you are intended for the crystal clear sound in that section of the audio. You need to adjust the levels to your preferences for your satisfactory listening. Not that I am not a fan of Bose but I really feel that the Atmos soundstage of the Arc is much more pleasing and theatre like than that of Bose. The difference isn't major though.

@halfclappertopchedda 11 месяцев назад

I bought both these. Set them both up. And played the same scenes. I decided to keep the Bose 900. This decision is based solely on attention to detail of Bose, and what i mean by that is, every little sound is crystal clear. The bose you could hear every little detail, nothing was lost. With the sonos i found it to be a bit less "refined". Thats just my personal preference, im sure some people will disagree. But if you're looking for clear dialogue, near perfect base, and copius amounts of razor sharp detail; I personally suggest the Bose 900.

I thought you bought a TV for the picture quality & Speakers/ Soundbars for the Audio Quality. We decided to go with the Samsung Q950A - Soundbar - Sub Woofer - 2 Rear Speakers (all in 1 Box) . It has the Latest Audio DOLBY-ATMOS DTS:X - (11.1.2) the Sound Quality is the nearest you can get to a Movie Theatre. Leaves SONOS at the Starting Line - you have to do your research to find out if your TV is compatible & will the Audio System work to their best with your TV….too many issues with SONOS & it hasn’t caught up with the latest Technology

After some research and watching this video I am getting the Bose Premium Home Theater System with Dolby Atmos® that has BOSE SMART SOUNDBAR 900, BOSE BASS MODULE 700 and BOSE SURROUND SPEAKERS 700.

Ditto! I just bought soundbar because I had to, Won a Vizio V-Series 50” 4K from work for my bedroom. TV speakers were the worst I’ve ever heard… so I bought a New/Refurbished Bose TV Speaker on eBay for $159/shipped. Never would have bought a soundbar except for sound was tinny and couldn’t hear dialogue. I know this is entry level but WOW and it’s so small?! What a difference… *Bose TV Speaker actually has a dialogue mode and it works amazingly, even at low volume!!!* I don’t want/need a sub or bass module… however I was thinking of getting the Bose 900 as stand alone for the Atmos as I stream literally everything. Wondering if I should have gotten the 300 instead of Bose TV Speaker? One thing I don’t like is do you need the internet to actually use a Bose 300/700/900 soundbar? I hate Amazon and I don’t use Alexa so if I’m just using the Bose 900 by itself do I have to have it hooked to the internet? I hate they’re always putting microphones in things that don’t need them and charge you for them. Like it’s got Bluetooth, if I wanted to use Alexa I could just use Bluetooth like with my Bose TV Speaker. I want the 900 but I wanna rip that mic out and mail it to Jeff Bezos and tell him I want my money back 🤣 Seriously though, if I have to use WiFi I’ll probably go with another soundbar or stay with my Bose TV Speaker… I do F$&@I%G love this thing, It’s got Bluetooth and it hooks into my eARC Vizio and I can control the volume. Is there any other no Alexa/WiFi soundbar with Atmos? I think it’s ridiculous that YOU HAVE to have WiFi to listen to a speaker hooked to your TV? Literally any excuse to slap a microphone into our everyday electronics… next you’ll need WiFi to use your Keurig and have a cup of coffee in the morning or make toast

I like the separation of the frequencies. It’s definitely more clear, and I love how you can hear vocals at low volume. I also, think the 700 sub is more than adequate.

We have "old ears" we watch a lot of tv, movies, streaming etc. but struggle with the dialogue. Which one would you recommend when it comes to the clarity of dialogue above background noise?

Interestingly if we watch a really old movie on RU-vid (even 1935) we can understand every word spoken!!

@20251056 2 года назад

Spot on! Thank you very much. Had the Bose LS 535 for some years now, so just bought the arc a week ago with pair of Ones and two subs. I am already selling again. My tv’s atmos alone is almost better and clearer. When you get used to the crisp clear sound that Bose makes in general, it just sounds blurry or flat when you hear another brand in my opinion. I know audiophiles don’t agree and that’s okay. Just ordered a Bose 900 bar, two sub 700 modules and omni 700 pair for my living room AND for my bedroom, so I hope that I don’t get disappointed again. I really couldn’t agree more with your review, it was exactly how I hear Bose compared to arc. Arc for music and Bose for movies 👌🏼

@20251056 2 года назад

@@brikev for me… much better than the experience I got with the Sonos. After a little eq tweaking it sounds VERY god, and the dialog in movies is just very clear as I like it. Music sounds much better than with my old LF 535 which I don’t think was so good to music. I actually think that Bose is better than Sonos for music also. I think the Sonos sounds like they put a pillow over it. If I should say something negative it would be that for me personally, I think I liked the Sonos sub a little more. And I would love if I could turn the rear speakers up just a little more, I will try the run adaptiq with blanket over speakers trick to see if it helps. I don’t think any soundbar can give the full atmos experience when you don’t have ceiling speakers, and especially not for me because I have the soundbar right under the tv because my tv slides down from the ceiling. But I am personally very happy with my choice to return the Sonos and buy Bose instead. I am no expert so it’s just my opinion.

Had both along with subwoofers. The bass module 700 makes carckling sounds. On the bose website, they agree to this problem with models manufactured from 2018 and above. The solution is 3.5mm jack wire. Ok. Apart from that bose 900, had very low surround effects as compared to sonos. So in movies bose performance didn't impress me. It didn't fill the room. Sonos outperforms here. It has wonderful surround effects. It is a big prominent difference. But in case of music, bose is a winner.(Doesn'tmeans sonos is not good at all in music, in my opinion difference is negligible) But mind it, standalone bose 900, is not at all impressive. U have to have bass module 700.

If I could find a good option for half that amount 9d certainly be happy. Since I have a Sony tv I want to stay with Sony but the Arc or Bose 900 may be a better option, just not sure. I used to keep up with audio products but haven’t been paying attention in the last 20 years and don’t know what I want. May wait and see if there’s some sales later this year. Again, thanks for the note. Let me know how that Samsung works out for you.

Question: I just received a Yamaha soundbar and a SHU sub... I tried hooking it up to my bedroom TV (Sony A9S Oled 48"), The light's are on on the Sub, I have the sub connected to the Soundbar but there's no sound from the sub. The soundbar plays but not the sub. Suggestions? Thank you Joe

If Sonos had Bluetooth, no brainer. But it doesn't. Game over in favor of Bose.

I use airplay to connect my iPhone to my Arc or Beam soundbar. I have much greater range over wi-fi, zero music interruptions with smartphone notifications/alarms/phone calls, and you can't do spatial audio over bluetooth.

How do these compare to the sonos beam gen 2? Small lounge not really bothered about sound above me as without ceiling speakers it’s not going to live to expectations anyway.

@nirajktm 8 месяцев назад

To get "voice of god" as u said, no soundbar however expensive can replicate, you need a proper home theatre system with 4 ceiling speakers, 3 fronts, 2 surrounds.

@youssefhamidi8152 Год назад

In no universe can any soundbar produce bass by itself. Minimum size speakers needed is 6.5”. All soundbars usually are under 2.5”. You can’t defy physics. That being said I have a full 5.1 system for my main room and just the sub cost over $1000+. Ppl need to budget a sub for these bars. I got the bose 900 + bass module 700 for my game room which is 13 x 13 with 9 ft ceilings. System sounds fantastic.

@petermaz701 2 года назад

Really nice review. I have the Sonos Arc full system in my living room. I have a Sony A90J in bedroom which has great sound on its own but feel that if I’m watching a movie I want a little more punch. Any suggestions? I can’t fit the new Sony A5000, just too long in front of TV on the dresser.

@@billyfurtado980 for the living room I would definitely suggest getting the whole Sonos system. It has more expansive surround sound and to me I just think it does a better job less directional, than the Bose and more room filling if you can get what I’m saying..

@dilupawickramasinghe1098 2 года назад

I have a bose 700 + sub+surround. Bose is good no doubt about it. I recently bought sonos arc and struggle to get a quality sound because my lg tv has its own setting for sound . Finally for some reson I reset the sonos sound bar selected the digital sound out to 'pcm' in lg tv. Then I could get amazing sounds from it. Now my number one is sonos no offence. Any way you wan't disappoint by any of them. They have there unique sounds that will take you to a different level of music.

@richoneill5619 Год назад

I would like to mount either soundbar on the wall but it would be just under my TV. Will this work or does the soundbar top need to be unobstructed?

@TechWithKG Год назад

They have mounts that mount to the back of your TV mount, and I think these soundbars are slim enough to not obstruct the TV in this scenario.

You know what for my use case a good sound bar and a subwoofer is good enough for me. I watch 95 percent of t.v. in my bedroom and a sound bar is my purpose to use it is because most tvs don't have really good speakers. I also have a sound bar and subwoofer on my tv in the living room and it's good enough for me because my living is an average size not too big and not too small. I live in an apartment and of course I have to be mindful of the neighbors.

I can’t as I’ve yet to hear the 950a but the 950a package is often 1299 and cheaper than a full Bose setup. Also if you have a recent Samsung QLED you get benefits with the 950a in Q symphony so keep that in mind if you own one.

Do not ever buy sonos unless you want to spend a lot of time re connecting them, the sound is good, but definitely not worth the headaches of the time you have to spend, it almost seems like it’s every time you got company, for the price not worth it, I’ve did everything got a boost, new router, we have hi speed the highest you can get, fibre optics cable.
