ULTRA-HIGH PERFORMANCE WITH AN ULTRA-THIN DESIGN
Overview
This stylish soundbar is meant to be heard, not seen. That’s why we’ve engineered custom-designed drivers to keep the Bose Soundbar 500 almost impossibly thin, without taking away from the acoustic excellence Bose is known for. Measuring only five centimetres high, its profile fits discreetly under your TV screen, so you won’t even know it’s there—until you hear it. And with the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa built-in, you won’t have to lift a finger.
Like the Bose Soundbar 500, it’s the little things that make a big difference. It may be our thinnest soundbar yet, but its powerful acoustics fill the entire room with sound you just have to hear to believe.

Sounds good, anywhere
ADAPTiQ audio room calibration will optimise its acoustic performance for the unique characteristics of your room – giving you the best possible listening experience.
Elegant lightbar
Not sure the soundbar heard you? An ingenious light bar helps indicate when your voice assistant is listening, thinking or speaking.
Clear voice pickup
Custom-designed microphones in both the front and the back of the soundbar deliver superior voice pickup, so the soundbar will still hear you even when the music is playing loud.
Proprietary drivers
Custom-designed transducers provide superior clarity while maintaining an incredibly slim design.
QuietPort technology
The soundbar’s recessed ports use a piece of resistant screen to reduce turbulent noise while getting more sound through a smaller opening. The result? Virtually distortion-free bass from a slim profile.
