If you don’t need Alexa, definitely get this $199 Bose sound bar instead of the $400 Sonos Beam

In the case of the Bose Solo 5 TV Sound System, however, you’ll be surprised at what kind of value Bose offers compared to similar compact sound bars from top brands. For example, the Sonos Beam costs $400 while the Bose Solo 5 is only $199 right now on Amazon.
