Third-party reviews

What customers like about Bose Soundbar 500

  • Sleek and compact design: Its low profile (less than 2 inches tall) allows it to fit easily under most TVs without blocking the screen.
  • Exceptional dialogue clarity: Features dedicated center channel performance and dialogue enhancement modes that make speech very easy to understand.
  • Extensive wireless connectivity: Supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2, and Spotify Connect for versatile streaming.
  • Built-in voice assistants: Includes Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant with a superior microphone array for reliable voice pickup even in noisy rooms.
  • ADAPTiQ room calibration: Automatically optimises the audio performance based on the specific acoustics of your room.
  • Easy setup: Users frequently report a quick and straightforward installation process via the Bose Music app.

What customers don't like about Bose Soundbar 500

  • Lack of sub-bass: On its own, the soundbar lacks deep, thumpy bass for action movies, often making a separate subwoofer purchase necessary for full immersion.
  • No Dolby Atmos or DTS support: It does not support these advanced surround sound formats, limiting its performance compared to newer rivals.
  • Compression at high volumes: The sound can become compressed or distorted when pushed to its maximum volume, especially in the bass range.
  • Limited physical ports: Lacks additional HDMI inputs, meaning it cannot serve as a hub for multiple devices.
  • App and firmware issues: Some users and reviewers have reported frustrating software bugs, including firmware update loops that can affect usability.
  • Premium price point: Often considered expensive for the performance offered when compared to competitors that include a subwoofer in the box.

Verdict

The Bose Soundbar 500 is an ultra-slim 3.0-channel speaker system measuring just 80 cm wide and 4.4 cm high, featuring a premium matte-finish top and a wraparound metal grille. It is equipped with custom drivers and QuietPort technology for clarity and reduced distortion, and includes an eight-microphone array for built-in Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control. Its main strengths are a well-balanced sound profile ideal for dialogue, ADAPTiQ room calibration for optimized acoustics, and versatile connectivity via HDMI ARC/eARC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Apple AirPlay 2. However, notable drawbacks include a significant lack of sub-bass for action movies without the optional Bass Module 500, a lack of support for Dolby Atmos, and a tendency for audio compression at maximum volume levels.
