Pros & Cons

Bose Solo 5

VS

Pros

    • 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.

Sony HT-Z9F

VS

Pros

    • The bar has a clear frequency range, which reproduces different sounds (rain, explosions, wind) in a very realistic way.
    • The Vertical Sound option provides broader spectrum audio that envelopes the listener.

Cons

    • The backlight on the remote control is too dim even for a dark room.
