Pros & Cons
Sonos Beam
VSPros
- The soundbar picks up your voice even in noisy environments thanks to an array of 5 far-field mics.
- Three passive radiators make the bass more pronounced by moving air inside of the soundbar.
- This model has a special LED indicator that helps you understand when the Beam is ready to receive voice commands.
Cons
- Bass reproduction is fairly poor.
Bose Solo 5
VSPros
- The included remote is excellent and dead simple to use.
- Its sound quality is unambiguously better than a TV's built-in speakers.
- It's still reasonably priced, especially for Bose.
Cons
- It lacks a front-panel display.
