Hey!! Thanks a lot for such kind words! It always helps to know that people find my videos helpful :) To be honest, i was in similar place at the time when I wanted to buy a speaker for myself, which is what made me create this video as there wasn't and proper review on these speakers. Anyhow, I also struggled to make the choice between HS-500 and ST-20. I definitely had a preference for ST-20's sound signature being a long-ish term Bose user. But inspite I went ahead with HS-500 and true it took a bit of adjusting to the new sound signature but I got there :D. Another reason for opting for HS-500 was that it is more technologically updated so no lag when u start playing music, has a display so fits better in a living room, smaller in size than ST-20 and looks better.. Because speakers like these are not only all about sound but also about 'do they fit my house'. Anyhow that was my thinking / process when it came down to selecting between the speakers. Between 500 and 300, I would definitely recommend 500 as it is more fuller sounding than 300. If you are based in the UK then Bose offers 90 days no questions asked return policy. I am yet to get my hands on a Sonos, I have one at my workplace and I know it sounds good, but until i have tested it myself, I can't recommend it. Though Sonos also offer a similar 90 days return policy. "Or is it all Bose now diving into the more base fad??" unfortunately Yes. Not going 'all-in' but definitely seems to be leaning a bit in that direction. PS: ST-20s are available on Bose online outlet store, if u really like it PPS: Considering you are a NC-700 user and have a bit of a history with Bose products, I would also recommend watching this video review of the Bose NC 700 Headphones. Would love to hear your thoughts :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/l2arxtJ6oNm2YpM.html Hope this helps. Thanks

A lot has happened during covid.... Most of my household belongings are now in storage (including my full stereo system) as we now share a home with others. As such, I picked up the Home 500 as a mobile/portable/compact unit & have been pleasantly surprised. The Bluetooth system is what I use (full library of tracks stored), the app I use for this has it's own treble/base controller & I'm able to customise to my hearing & the situation & level of volume. All in all, quite happy with it.

Ok, so I was not the only one to like your voice. Not everyone really understands ASMR, because only some of the entire population can actually respond to it. Many might get a response, but they try and ignore it and they don't get the full benefit because they don't lean into it. I find it hard to believe that so many people aren't pleased by the relaxing nature of someone speaking in a calming and relaxing tone or pitch. I know we all have trouble properly hearing our own voices, so it's probably hard for you to hear it yourself. LOL

It is one of the best reviews I have ever come across. Hats off to you man. I have a Soundtouch 20. I like it a lot because of its rich bass and warm sound signature. Hs 500 is punchier I guess but st 20 wins in bass appeal.

So in the end it boils down to which sound signature you prefers between the two. Hope this helps :)

I tend to keep them at default else I end up adjusting it constantly coz I can be very picky about settings.. If I leave it at default then I just get a consistent performance no matter the song.

Though the speaker is quite bright out of the box so I seldom need to up the treble :)

Hi Micheal, thanks for your comment. So glad that you found it helpful. The good thing about Sonos is (please double check) that they can be paired to produce stereo, which in my opinion doesn't make a huge difference because music seldom requires 2 distinct channels. Overall Sonos also produce great bass and mids lack a tiny bit when it comes to highs. Music can be so subjective so let me ask you this: what's the conflicting thought you have between these two speakers or why would you choose one over the other?

Ooh!! hello! Manhattan! What a place! On my list. Hello from London! :) Makes sense.. so I have personally sampled both.. 500 I own and Sonos at workplace. In my opinion both sound amaze balls. 500 is a tiny bit brighter. Sonos has a bit more thumpy bass for its size. My 500 is placed in my study which is miles (not literally of course) away from the router and I personally have faced any issues thus far. It just sits there in its place looking pretty and works when I want it to. Here in UK Bose allows you to buy and return for 90 days in case you don't like their products. So maybe try that. Sobos offers exactly the same. Not sure if that's the case in US though. Another thing I love about Bose is its customer service. They have never made me jump though hoops or let me down. The standard of interaction overall is very good (even during covid times where in many other companies has slipped sooo bad!)

Hi, sorry for the late reply but I had been awaiting some information from Bose in order to answer your question properly. My understanding is that you are looking for somewhat of an 'all-in-one' speaker which allows you to wireless listen to music and also potentially connect it to your TV. I looked at a few options but depending on your budget you can choose one. Please feel free to get back to me should you need anything else, always happy to help :) -- OPTION 01 -- Bose Soundbar 300 or 500 or 700: I know you mentioned that 700 is a bit out of your range, but in that case Bose also has 300 and 500 soundbars which have similar functionality to the 700 but are smaller in size. Another difference is that 300 and 500 support Dolby Digital and PCM whereas 700 supports DD, PCM and DTS. All of them support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay and can connect to Spotify for playing music and have HDMI port for connecting them to TV. Soundbar 300 is about £400 which is £100 cheaper than Wave. The good thing is that it will give you much better stereo for TV in comparison to Wave. Plus will be easier to fit in front of the TV, making things look neat as well. More importantly you can build this out with time where in you can add a woofer and rear speakers as and when you are ready for it. -- OPTION 02 -- Sonos Beam: Costs the same as Bose Soundbar 300 with similar functionalities and audio codec support (DD and PCM). One thing i really don't like about Sonos is lack of Bluetooth support. (I mean come on Sonos!). It also allows you to pair Sonos One SL and wireless woofer enabling flexible building of the whole system with time. -- OPTION 03 -- Apart from the above two, if you are still not sure and want something compact, then you could potentially look in to Bose 300 or 500. I currently only have the Bose Home Speaker 500 and it doesn't lag as much anymore (latest firmware) for Bluetooth audio playback from tablets, mobiles and desktops. AirPlay also works fine mostly but is a little laggy in comparison to the Bluetooth connections. I would suggest 500 over 300 has it has 2 speakers, so will be better for TV audio playback and you can always use the headphone jack on the TV to connect it to the home speaker 500 Aux Port. That way you can swtich between sources (Aux, Bluetooth or Spotify) as needed. Wired connection will also remove the lag. I have personally not tested the AUX port to check but I don't see any issue. Of course, Home Speaker 500's primary purpose isn't for TV use so it won't be take advantage of surround audio formats like DD, DTS and so on. -- PRODUCT LINKS -- Bose Home Speaker 500: amzn.to/2VZukBV Bose Soundbar 300: amzn.to/37JQg6k Bose Soundbar 500: amzn.to/3g7vLF7 Bose Soundbar 700: amzn.to/37OMqZA Bose Bass Module 500: amzn.to/2Ulagcm Bose Bass Module 700: amzn.to/3k1xM6W Bose Surround Speakers: amzn.to/3yT4f5R Sonos Beam: amzn.to/3AOYNBh Sonos One SL: amzn.to/3xLaqaE Sonos Woofer: amzn.to/2VXFO8C -- OUTLET STORE WEBSITES -- Both Bose and Sonos have outlet stores where you might be able to find these products for a bit less. For e.g. Soundbar 300 on Bose Outlet website is for £300 instead of £400. Outlet speakers are refurbs which look and work like brand new speakers and even have the same 2 years warranty (in the UK) Bose: www.bose.co.uk/en_gb/products/outlet.html Sonos: www.sonos.com/en-gb/shop/certified-refurbished-2 -- RELATED VIDEO / ALSO WATCH -- Bose Home Speaker 500 Detailed Review: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fHZtr5tqpZXJmZc.html Hope this helps :))

Hello, I had a question regarding the Home Speaker 500. I recently purchased the Portable Home Speaker but had to return it soon after as I was having multiple issues with Alexa not responding properly. I was looking to replace it with either the Home Speaker 500 or even 300 but have since seen a couple of things regarding the 500 that has threw me off a little. From a couple videos I’ve watched here on KZread and a review I seen online, apparently the Home Speaker 500 can run into what appears to sound like rattling/ distortion problems when playing more bass focused tracks at higher volume levels. Have you ran into this problem at all? I know for definite that some others have experienced these problems as again, there’s videos on here showing this issue in full effect but I’m just wondering if it’s more of a fault on their units specifically or actually a fault with the 500 model in general. Thank you in advance!

@ToThePointReviewsComparisons

Hi Lewis, thanks for reaching out. Regarding the rattling issue, I personally haven’t had this issue whatsoever. I believe rattling can be caused at times due to the placement of the speaker. For this reason mine sits on a solid surface by the window. The surface is made of wood and has no moving parts. Placement is very important as slight imbalances can cause the speaker to rattle. I think I have covered this topic in this or the dedicated video for the 500 video: m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/fHZtr5tqpZXJmZc.html Hope this helps.

I’m glad to know you haven’t experienced any of those problems with your unit, definitely makes me a little more inclined to actually pick the 500 up. One more question if you don’t mind me asking, would you recommend picking up two 300 models over a single 500? I only ask as I was thinking that if I did decide to go down that route, I could place one on each nightstand at either side of my bed. (I intend to use either option as the main audio setup for my bedroom)

@ToThePointReviewsComparisons

Thanks Lewis. I would have replied earlier but I was sleeping :D Though jokes apart, I tend to reply as soon as I see a message :) Between 300 and 500, I prefer 500 because it’s stereo. 300 isn’t. If you were to purchase 2x 300 for each side of the bed, they won’t act like stereo. For that I would suggest looking in to Sonos. Buying 2x 300s will also be costlier without a clear return for that money. The only time I would suggest 300 is if the room you are gonna place them is quite small. Thanks again for reaching out. I love engaging with my audience (doesn’t matter if one subscribes or not) so please also feel free to reach out 🙂🙂

Hah! I’ll be completely honest, it’s nearly 9am here in the UK and I haven’t slept a wink all night so I can’t say I’m not at least a little jealous. 🤣 It really is great that you do take the time out of your day to engage with your audience. Considering this video is a year old, I was pleasantly surprised I received a response from you to begin with! You’ve definitely earned a new subscriber for that alone! Regarding the speakers, overall I did expect the 500 to pack significantly more punch than the 300 on its own. In your opinion, do you really think the 500 alone packs more raw power than a pair of 300s? If so that must be a pretty significant amount of sound the 500 is putting out especially for its relatively small form factor. I’ll be completely honest, because it’s just for a bedroom setup and not part of a full living room setup around a TV for example, I’m not overly fussed with it being stereo sound or mono for this specific scenario, just looking for best overall output. (I’m sure that statement alone would have many audiophiles shaking in their boots) I actually do already own a Sonos One and so could easily go down the Sonos ecosystem route if I really wanted to. The thing is though, recently I’ve been sort of put off the company in general. I noticed they started hiking up the prices for some of their existing products from what appeared to be out of no where which I just thought overall was a little shady. I could understand coming out with new and improved products and pricing them a little higher than past models but for me the fact that they just randomly decided to slap an extra 50/ 100 onto some of the existing products in their lineup without anything in particular to make it justifiable was just a bit shady in my eyes.

Hi Anita, thanks for the comment. I personally own the Home Speaker 500 now. I decided to keep this one thinking that it supports AirPlay and has a full screen display. The 500 also makes sense if it’s going to the ur first Bose brand home speaker. The soundtouch 20 is legacy and 300 is too small for my room and usage. Though if you are a purist, don’t care about the new fancy features and / or own bose’a legacy speakers I would recommend going for soundtouch 20. All three sound good so you can’t go wrong with any so it will ultimately boil down to what fits ur room, budget and general technological preferences. Hope this helps.

Hi Shahrass.. In my personal opinion I find Harmon Kardon products tend to produce less well-rounded sound in comparison to Bose and Sonos. Even though HK has been pricing it's poducts similar to these brands and that HK products also tend to focus on asthetics and design unfortunately they don't deliver that well in audio reproduction. But again this can change based on who's listening and the preference for sound signature. HK deliver good bass and highs but the mids end up being quite muddy and somewhat unsynced with the rest of the spectrum. Also its worth noting that these are not portable speakers whereas Go Play is a portable speaker. So these speakers might not be direct comparison. I hope this helps.

I have purchased bose home speaker 300 and my speaker responds very slow while giving alexa command and bluetooth connectivity does drops for a fraction of sec every now and then

Hi Shalin, thanks for your comment. I would suggest that you try factory reset. See instructions here: www.bose.co.uk/en_gb/support/articles/HC2563/productCodes/bose_home_speaker_300/article.html if you have the same problem after, then I would suggest contacting the customer support. Hope this helps. thanks.

I switched back and forward to a particular part of the song between the soundtouch and the 500 and I found the soundtouch had a better sound ! The 500 had this sound as if had a blanket over it or a filter,odd ? I love Bose,I have 3 sound plates at all TVs, 2 soundtouch 10 both paired and Bose noise cancelling headphones. I find no lag whatsoever with spottily and who uses these speakers to watch a movie ! I wish you used a SOUNDTOUCH 30 !!! This would have kicked the 500;s ass ! This was a great unit, bassy great treble and heavy due to the big speaker inside ! I don't need a screen,this is for young people who love anything with a screen :) I just use the app or remote ,so simple. I can't stand these voice activated devices, they open the wrong request and then your constantly telling it to stop !!! In Australia the Bose 500 is a unbelievable expensive $599 ! So forget that,I'm chasing down a good used Bose soundtouch 30 :)

I couldn't agree more. When i was reading your comment, it felt like you had read exactly what I had in my mind when I was in the process of evaluating these units. I personally was also aiming for 30 but couldn't find it whatsoever!! To your point.. 'Who cares about the screen'! Thanks for leaving a comment : )

I am enjyng my 300 all day ❤❤

Ur right sir.when t bass is set at full it starts disappearing when t volume is set overv75%.it's grt. When played at lower volumes

I believe the Bose 500 is the only one of the three speakers to have Alexa built in.

Hi carlcat. Thanks for your question. Both Home Speaker 500 and 300 have voice assistants built-in including Alexa and Google. Soundtouch series doesn't have any voice assistant built in. Some topline differences between 500 and 300 are - Size, - Audio driver setup (2.0 vs mono) - In-built LCD Hope this helps 🙂

@@ToThePointReviewsComparisons I have been confused for 2-3 days straight, after asking you the Q I got confused between Bose Portable Home Speaker & Apple HomePod, dropped ST 30 (mostly as it was not on discount), finally went ahead with the Bose one cos of versatility and multiple connectivity options! Hope I made the right choice, would like to invest a more substantial amount when I can physically check the sound signature and look n feel. Thanks a ton though for being kind enough to take out time to reply, it helped a lot and I really appreciate it, you earned a perma sub 😊👍🏻

Poor quality LCD Display with light bleed and washed out look is what you should expect from a BOSE Product, BOSE is NOT High Quality audio and Not Audiophile quality. JBL Link View 500 is a much better speaker and it costs less and has a Full Color Display that can play videos.

Good for you bud! As an “audiophile” you must understand that what’s sound good to your ears doesn’t mean it sounds good to others! If JBL is the shit for you the shut the fxck up and keep it pushing bud don’t be a female and make it all about you!
