What customers say about "Key Specs"

Sony HT-MT300 Powerful Mini Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer

It is very easy to set up and pretty powerful.
I really like the small but powerful sub. It's wireless so I just put it under my bed and even my wife like it.
It is a pretty powerful little speaker.
I like the clarity of the top end on the soundbar but the sub woofer only kicks in when there are extremely low frequencies.
Not enough power, sounded much better in store, then when we got home, I thought that a sound bar, would make the sound separate, it sounds like one speaker and one speaker only.

Bose Solo 5 2.0-Channel Soundbar System

It provides excellent frequency response and sound leveL with no distortion what so ever.
Small, yet very powerful. Adequate bass response. Worth the money if you want compact soundbar without sacrificing sound quality!
Bass response is rich and deep.
Soundbar has a great and powerful sound.
I wish the bass response were a little louder.
Not powerful but better than tv speakers.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Sony HT-MT300 Powerful Mini Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer

Love the bluetooth connection where I can connect my phone and play music over the speakers - great when I'm not in the mood for t.v.
The sound bar is just amazing and the Bluetooth is another reason why I purchased.
Bought this wireless system for sound quality and bluetooth. Both are excellent.
The NFC pairing process is a plus as well. I was able to pair it quickly with no issues using my Android smartphone.
If your phone is NFC compatible, it makes it that much easier to get connected.
