Built-In Voice Control
With Amazon Alexa built right into the Soundbar 500, you can control your music, get information, manage your day, and more. You have access to everything Alexa has to offer without lifting a finger. To ensure that Alexa can hear you over your media, the soundbar has an eight-microphone array set up along the front and back; a light bar will visually indicate when Alexa is listening, thinking, or speaking.

You can play your favorite music services over your home Wi-Fi network, like Spotify or Amazon Music, at the touch of a button. You can also use the Bluetooth connection to play anything from your compatible phone or tablet. You can also connect additional optional compatible speakers to the Soundbar 500 for multi-room music. Apple AirPlay2 is scheduled to be made available via a future firmware update.
