TOP 15 Soundbars
SAMSUNG HW-N950 Review: Samsung ‘bar, cinematic sound
Stunningly effective Atmos/DTS:X soundbar package with a home cinema performance to rival a good AV receiver and speakers.
HARMAN KARDON ENCHANT 800 Review
An accomplished soundbar that misses out on some features, but gets the best from what it does have. It's smart, easy to use and performs with panache.
Samsung HW-Q70R Review: Atmos without the cable clutter
Samsung’s sleek Acoustic Beam soundbar comes with Atmos chops and a killer subwoofer for impressively dynamic and involving surround sound. More HDMI inputs would be nice.
SONY HT-ST5000 Review: Premium Atmos sound attack
Sony's Atmos debutant doesn't surround as it promises, but is nevertheless a sweet-sounding 'bar with an ear for hi-res audio and a smart design.
LG SK10Y Review: LG reaches for the SK10Y
The size of this soundbar neatly correlates with the size of its soundstage. An impressive Atmos system, but greater EQ/ calibration options would help polish its performance.
Q ACOUSTICS M2 Review: Not fashionable, definitely ferocious
Compact but uncowed, the M2 is a brilliant-value TV audio upgrade. It's not particularly musical, but it excites with cinematic action and games.
B&O BeoVision Eclipse Review
Partnering B&O's design prowess and audio chops with OLED's glorious pictures proves a marriage made in heaven.
TEUFEL CINEBAR PRO Review: The soundbar time forgot
This heavyweight soundbar revisits old-school values to offer a superior 2.1 listening experience. Not a bargain, but certainly a banger.
POLK AUDIO MAGNIFI MAX SR Review: Polk ‘bar takes movies to the MAX
Bass handling and dynamics could be improved but this is still a pleasing concoction of multichannel sonics, superb connectivity and tidy design. Voice Adjust is useful, too.
SONY HT-ZF9 Review: Deluxe DSP
If space is tight, this 3.1 Dolby Atmos solution sounds mightier than you might imagine. It's DSP wizardry done right.
PANASONIC SC-HTB258 Review: Squeeze me in
Ease of use, compact dimensions and a tangible boost over most flat screen audio systems are the lure here.
