With Amazon Alexa built right into the Bose Soundbar 500, you can control your music, get information, manage your day, and so much more.* You have access to everything Alexa has to offer — all without lifting a finger. But what good is Alexa if she can’t hear you? Experience superior voice pickup from a custom-designed eight-microphone array that will still hear you no matter how loud your music is. And an ingenious light bar will help visually indicate when Alexa is listening, thinking, or speaking. Plus, it’s always getting better. Future software updates will unlock new features.
