Our Verdict

Vizio Elevate

Bose Smart Soundbar 700 with Speakers + Bass Module

The Bose Smart Soundbar 700 with Speakers + Bass Module is better than the Vizio Elevate for most uses. The Vizio supports Dolby Atmos content and features a full HDMI In port, as well as some EQ presets to help you customize its sound. That said, the Bose is better built and performs better when it comes to sound. Its default frequency response is more balanced, with better soundstage, center channel, and surround performances. Unlike the Vizio, the Bose has built-in voice assistant support, too.
