The Sony HT-S100F is a simple, budget soundbar with no Dolby Atmos or smart home integration. But for just $99, the sound quality is amazing.

The Bose Smart Soundbar is a fantastic smart home product, but it won’t impress true hi-fi fanatics thanks to its lackluster bass and too-crisp treble.

The Samsung HW-B650 is a punchy soundbar + subwoofer combo with an impressive surround-sound experience, a range of playback modes, and great bass.

At $1,699, the JBL Bar 1300X isn’t the cheapest option on the market, but it is one of the best bang-for-buck soundbar systems out there.

The Majority Elias is a super-budget soundbar. Priced at just £99, it claims it has Dolby Atmos — but it doesn’t. It has decent sound quality for TV, though.

The Sony HT-S2000 is a powerful 3.1 channel soundbar with Dolby Atmos support and a built-in subwoofer, delivering loud explosions and crystal clear dialogues.

Considering the Polk Audio Signa S4 soundbar has a wireless subwoofer, sub-$400 is a fantastic price for a beginner setup. The best part? It’s actually good.

This basic Bluetooth speaker is a decent option for folks who already own products in Sony’s wireless audio ecosystem, but it’s a questionable pickup for everyone else.
