Good video. The thing that I noticed between the two are, Bose 300 sounds crisper and the Sonos definitely has more bass. Both sounds good though. Did you turn up the bass on the 300 using the App?
Sonos please offer a subwoofer mini (black or white option) $299-$399. 150w-300 watts would be cool. Also add ios options to android. The majority of phones people own on planet earth are android based from the cheapest of the cheap to premium. Even a low end mic would help the soundbar find the location it just needs the software to do so.
funny how he thinks it's more important to include a HDMI cable which you mostly like already have and can pick up from shops but not including a remote control is acceptable.
Not having a remote for Sonos doesn't bother me. The wife and I have two iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPad Pro 11, and two old iPhone 6S+. We really have 5 remotes to control the Sonos system (Arc, two beams, and two Roams). It would be a nice upgrade if Sonos included a Trueplay handheld device with a mic you could purchase for Android user.
I just purchased the Bose 300 directly from Bose….refurbished….(it’s brand new) for $329. I have several other Bose products and love their great sound and simplicity. And I got a remote with my Bose. I’m pairing this with my new Samsung 43” TV
Went with the Sonos beam gen 2 after failing to be impressed by what £899 buys you in the form of the Arc. Added 2 sonos one rears which still came in cheaper than the standalone Arc. For me it’s perfect 👍🏻
@@smarthomesounds sounds even better with the sub added. Although it does add a significant cost to the overall system, however if you can afford it I think it’s definitely worth the outlay.
After researching both I went with the Beam 2 and LOVE the performance! No effect on internet connection, and even without the Sub, the Beam 2 has plenty of bass for medium sized rooms, even without adjusting the equalizer settings in the app! The Sonos uses software to give the immersive sound experience, so the Atmos difference is minimal compared to having a full home theater set up. Lacking Bluetooth is no deal breaker as you can quickly stream music to the Beam from you phone using Airplay. Not mentioned is that the beam has a setting so you can hear vocals such as watching a movie at night without interrupting others and not having to bring the volume down on the soundbar.
I know this isn’t relevant to this video , but why don’t Sonos make a sub that connects to the Sonos move ? I have two when paired are excellent , just short of a sub 🧐
I will say between the two of them the Alexa is better integrated with Bose than it is with Sonos you don’t get notifications on the Sonos but you do on the Bose. Why don’t the reviewer’s mention that? Great review, clear and well done. 👍🏻
Whole heartedly disagree. I have just switched from Bose to Sonos. The Bose had nothing but issues with any integration. Alexa worked 15% of the time and I had to factory reset the Bose each time it stopped.
Ive been bose user for 20 years acoustimass 6,acoustimass 3,and bose 301,last year i bought tje arc,2 sonos one sl,and the sub gen 3 and it sounds awsome,last month i bought the second sub and i will not coming bacl to a single sub😂😂
What happens if my cable box comes with a bluettoth remote ( which also controls my TV volume though the cable box )? Sonos Gen 2 can not handle the volume but can the Bluetooth Bose take my volume control from my Bluetooth cable remote? Thank you!
I have the 300 soundbar since 1 year and its nice for small or Medium sized rooms, its definitly a Good choice. But next week i am upgrading to the beam 2 and i hope this Upgrade is it worth
Bose TV speaker is meant mostly for dialogue enhancement on TV’s with poor audio (Vizio) but also has the option to add the (500 or 700) bass modules. I got mine on eBay sold as new (I’m going to assume it was refurbished) for $178/shipped. It’s dialogue mode is unmatched for that price and serves it’s purpose as a cheapish soundbar with ARC/Bluetooth capability. Moreover, I always have the option to add a bass module. I don’t think getting the 300 is worth it IMO for the price difference and would probably just get the 700 or 900 if I decided to make a serious jump. It’s a perfect bedroom setup and that’s how I’m using it because my new Vizio V-Series has probably the worst sound I’ve heard out of any TV
The sonos looks plastic and cheap. Love the smoked glass top and metal of the Bose soundbar and subwoofer.with the rears I rarely run it above 50 % power
I have both of these, Beam 2 in my bedroom and Bose 300 in my dining room. I can say that Beam 2 sounds a lot better but Bose comes with the remote and bluetooth connectivity.
I did the Beam Gen 1 and 2 Symfonisk bookshelf speakers for surrounds in the Master bedroom LG OLED 55" C9. Excellent combination. Added another Beam Gen 1, Gen 3 sub, and 2 Symfonisk bookshelf speakers to Office/den for outstanding sound for the LG 55" OLED C1.
make a wish here hope sonos can hear. Why not a cheaper speaker pack? a 4-pack Roam size satellite speakers, without batterie and voice control, 2 for rear and 2 for upfiring. come with the sub mini for $999. at under 1500, u can get a real fighter.
I have a problem with my Vizio soundbar. I use it with a Sony tv and Windows 11, and it periodically switches from the soundbar to the tv speaker. Can anyone tell me if the problem is the soundbar, the tv, or Windows? Should I buy a replacement soundbar? The soundbar is hooked up to eARC
Im not going back to bose bec of the bluetooth,been bose user for 20 years and sonos is much much better..and with my wifi i.Can play all may music in all the rooms
I bought the beam 2 about a month ago. Added the Symfonisk rear speakers and I’m very happy with the experience paired with my A80J. Coming from tv speakers only, this is a fantastic upgrade.
I’ve had the Sonos beam for two years and just invested in the base. I already had two of the smaller speakers which I’ve used for surround sound. I do think they are pretty big so wish Sonos did smaller specific ones which I will buy in the future.
Have a look at the Ikea picture frame speakers. There thinner, although overall bigger so might not fit your needs. I have these and find them great for rear surrounds
Been bose user for 20 years,bose 301,201,501 bose center channel acoustimas 3 and 6,a year ago bougjt my sonos arc,2 sonos one sl as surround sub gen 3,and two weeks ago bought my second sub and all i can say is wooooow..the sub get loud,deep and without any diatorsion,the bose modules un high volume i can hear some distortion in tye box,and also i owned 7 different sub woofers amd the sonos sub for ita compact size really rocks
I come from the old wired up Bose home theatre set up but times have changed. Just happened to pick up a Sonos Beam G2 while picking up a new TV at Costco. This is all I need for the TV room, no sub, no extra mini speaker. Love it. Serves the purpose of enhancing sound.
the true fight gonna be an upgrade bose 300 atmos vs beam gen 2 pair a sub mini, which gives real home cinema exp around 1000 dollars, I guess the sub mini and atmos bose 300 will all come this year . the most advantage for bose now is the bose 300 and its bass 500 model combo you can find in Costco Canada at 960. Without sub, Beam gen 2 can not win even its bass are already improved a lot from gen 1. I use 15% discount at black friday to buy a Sub gen 3, and works fantastic. I feel I am watching a different movie. but i still dont like the price. for compitation, the sony HT-Z9F and the new HT-A5000 are good and less expensive. but for my persional feel, sony are good for movie, and gives u feel and surround, but less good on TV shows and dialog. Bose, i have had only 2 speakers dead by themself ,all bose product. even an $99 bookshelf can last 10 years, only 2 years for a sound touch 300. careful with your money.
Hope you did, you won’t regret it. I’m in the process of switching out all my Bose home Audio for Sonos. Picked up 8 Sonos products over the last week…they are unreal and many levels above Bose. The Bose home audio products are JUNK. Had nothing but issue after issue and their app is unstable. Sonos just does it better. 👍🏻
Now Boss as just released it’s 600 Soundbar with Dolby Atmos can you please do a comparison video between the Sonos Beam Gen 2 🤔
Why is nobody comparing bose 500 and beam gen.2? These are the benchmarks!
Bose 500 has been discontinued.

@@philippeaboussouan2361 The only place where iOS is more popular is North America where you can buy on credit by flashing your t*ts already 😂😁
Sub mini is here! But after I splurged on the Sub Gen 3…. It’s worth it
I've tried both in the Sonos beam 2 is definitely superior

Sonos Beam Gen-2 -Amazing sound bar. Sound clarity is outstanding
Bose would definitely need subwoofer for movies, Sonos can survive standalone. Imho.
Went with the Sonos beam gen 2 after failing to be impressed by what £899 buys you in the form of the Arc.

The Beam Gen2 & Sonos One’s as surrounds is a great set-up and hard to beat when in comes to performance for your money. Glad you are enjoying it too.
@@smarthomesounds sounds even better with the sub added. Although it does add a significant cost to the overall system, however if you can afford it I think it’s definitely worth the outlay.
Does the Beam seem at all boxy or narrow considering the width?

Bose is the father
Hi , i am looking for a bar where i can enjoy the concerts , which one do You recommend me ?
bose 500 vs beam gen.2????
Bose doesn’t make the 500 anymore. You can buy it refurbished directly from Bose if they have stock.
How does the Bose 500 soundbar compact with the Sonos Beam Gen 2?
This compatible with Samsung qn94a? I heard the beam gen 2 didn’t have pass through so it may be an issue for this tv…
The Bose 300 can come with adaptiq!
Waiting for your jbl flip 6 vs charge 5 comparison !
This will come in the new year 📈
Bose win🎉🎉🎉🎉
How does the Sonos beam gen 2 compaire with the Bose 700 sound bar?
Just added the sub mini to the ray have to say the sound is amazing my room is filled with bass so happy 👍
Dialogue came through on Beam...both clips... Atmos rocks! I have Atmos Tab S6!
Sonos beam gen 2 or Sony HT-G700?
Love my beam 2 but its messing up my tv remote, wont always work?
Does the Sonos volume work with the Sky Q remote then if it doesn’t have remote?
The one thing to note is that the Bose surround speakers are terrible.
Sonos Beam all day

Make sure the firmware is up to date on both the tv and soundbar. They fix a lot of issues as such.

Implementing Bluetooth is simple technology for Sonos, android users going to Bose because of absence of Bluetooth in Sonos..
Im not going back to bose bec of the bluetooth,been bose user for 20 years and sonos is much much better..and with my wifi i.Can play all may music in all the rooms
Sonos is FAR superior. Bluetooth isn’t as stable or high quality. Too much margin for error. Sonos is doing it correctly by leaving it out.
I bought the beam 2 about a month ago. Added the Symfonisk rear speakers and I’m very happy with the experience paired with my A80J. Coming from tv speakers only, this is a fantastic upgrade.
I bought the same tv and speaker thanks to this review and your comment!
How much would say the sound is affected on either unit if it’s housed in the corner of a room please?
Beam would be better if u have an iPhone because you can tune to your room via the Sonos app.
Can the bose be connected to wired 3rd party subwoofer?
Unfortunately not. It’s would need to be part of the Bose system.
I’ve had the Sonos beam for two years and just invested in the base. I already had two of the smaller speakers which I’ve used for surround sound. I do think they are pretty big so wish Sonos did smaller specific ones which I will buy in the future.
