Yamaha YAS-209 The best overall Yamaha YAS-209 soundbar Review Pros Cons The Yamaha YAS-209 is everything you need in a soundbar, plus a bunch of features you didn’t know you wanted. It's super easy to set up and even technophobes should be able to get this up and running in no time using an optical cable and wireless subwoofer connection.
This YAS-209 is also quite compact, running about 36-inches across and just 2.5-inches high. It can fit easily into almost any existing setup without much trouble. The whole Sonos system is designed to be the ultimate in multiroom audio, meaning you can add other speakers in your media room or all over the house and control them all from the Sonos app or using voice control. Since you have the option of talking to your digital butler via your Sonos Beam too, it doubles as a smart home portal as well, meaning it’s super versatile.
Contrary to its name though, the Fire TV Soundbar doesn’t actually have Fire TV movie/TV show streaming capabilities. If you’re in the market for a soundbar/streamer combo though, the Roku Streambar may be a better fit. Polk Signa S4 The best for dialogue More Sony HTX8500 The best soundbar with built-in subwoofers Pros Cons Wireless subwoofers are only “wireless” in the sense that they can connect to your soundbar without the need for LFE cables or speaker wire. Otherwise, these rectangular audio companions still require a wall outlet connection, which can be challenging if you’re dealing with an outlet-starved room, or you simply don’t have a good place to seat the woofer.
Sony HTX8500 The best soundbar with built-in subwoofers More Bose Smart Soundbar 600 Best compact soundbar Bose Smart Soundbar 600 Review Pros Cons When it comes to room-filling sound, few soundbars deliver the kind of experience you’ll get from the Bose Smart Soundbar 600. For right around $500, this is one of the best Dolby Atmos soundbars we’ve tested over the last few years, and setting it up couldn’t be easier. There’s only one HDMI eARC port that you’ll connect to your TV’s HDMI eARC.
In terms of connectivity, the Flexus Core 200 includes HDMI eARC, digital optical, and USB-C ports. For full Atmos virtualization, you’ll want to make sure your TV has an HDMI eARC output. You’ll also need a Transport 100 dongle if you’d like to add any additional Flexus speakers. The Roku Streambar is super easy to set up, and it comes with the Roku remote which is quite handy and will link up so you can control your TV with it too. Play music to it via Bluetooth, plus this soundbar gives you the option of adding a Roku Wireless Subwoofer and immersive surround sound if you want to.
What should you look for in a budget soundbar? You want to ensure a budget soundbar, like a more expensive option, sounds good, has good bass, and good volume projection. After all, if the soundbar barely has enough power to project beyond what your flatscreen TV can already do, there’s not much value in that. Other things to look for include a physical remote control , voice control via Google or Alexa as well as multiple connectivity options so you know it will hook up properly to your TV.
