The difference between Sonos and Bose is generally that Sonos is the better company in terms of their software and installation, as it's very easy to build your own multiroom setup. However, Bose still has the edge on Sonos when it comes to sound quality.

The Sonos Five can do bass better than many small home speakers. However, as big as it is, it's outfitted with three tweeters and three mid-woofers, but nothing larger. Overall, the Sonos Five sounds good, and if you have a large library of FLAC files, the Wi-Fi playback will make them shine, as will the line-in port.

The Sonos Five is a better speaker for music than the Apple HomePod mini. It can get louder than the Apple and can produce a thumpy and rumbling low-bass which may please fans of bass-heavy music.

The best thing about Sonos is how easy it is to integrate into your home. My dedicated home-theater system sounds much better, but I can't just say “play NPR” and have it start up. I love to listen to music and watch movies on that theater system, but I still use the Sonos more because it's so easy.
