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.
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.
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.
