Our Verdict

Bose Smart Soundbar 700

Bang & Olufsen Beosound Stage

The Bose Smart Soundbar 700 is better than the Bang & Olufsen Beosound Stage. The Bose has a more balanced sound profile and offers a room correction feature that automatically adjusts the sound profile to the room's acoustics. However, the Bang & Olufsen supports Dolby Atmos, has a graphic EQ, and has a wider array of inputs. It also has outstanding wireless playback options.
