Bose Soundbar 500
Sonos Arc
The Sonos Arc is a better soundbar than the Bose Soundbar 500. The Sonos supports Dolby Atmos content, and it offers better soundstage and surround performances. It also reproduces a more extended low-bass. You can even upgrade it to the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers for better performance. However, the Bose supports more wireless playback options.
