There are fewer inputs (no more analog), a more mundane fabric-wrapped design, and minimal sound settings. The Theater 9&#8217;s leaner frame equates to a less meaty and immersive soundstage. This is still a Sony flagship soundbar, which means great musicality, superb detail, and advanced spatial imaging for 3D audio. Premium features like an HDMI 2.1 input for connecting top game consoles and advanced integration with newer Sony TVs sweeten the deal, but at $1,400, it\u2019s a pricey proposition.<\/p>\n<p><cm-unit\/><\/p>\n<p><a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/VIZIO-Soundbar-Wireless-Subwoofer-Dolby\/dp\/B0CVC4JNQH\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/Jy3CeSzU3u3mBy1gLNuwrPi7dNxPnEjHdD4WGJdJHTwdqsffBBMqmjURpbnCwteqiqcmvKamEdvoW5WtMxRdiDXKup8M2mLkxFJSuezrpYM9AvbnYpKiFcLEugen5nNTA5ivZdim1mB6AKBV89xFsKwhpLhHGZDoXmCsnBv6FaW94PJMsfLp6tAsymgx79JoUS4NN55hgz&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/Jy3CeSzU3u3mBy1gLNuwrPi7dNxPnEjHdD4WGJdJHTwdqsffBBMqmjURpbnCwteqiqcmvKamEdvoW5WtMxRdiDXKup8M2mLkxFJSuezrpYM9AvbnYpKiFcLEugen5nNTA5ivZdim1mB6AKBV89xFsKwhpLhHGZDoXmCsnBv6FaW94PJMsfLp6tAsymgx79JoUS4NN55hgz\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Vizio 2.1 Soundbar (SV210M) for $170:<\/strong><\/a> Vizio\u2019s curvy little combo brings enticing value, with solid sound quality and some cinematic punch from the teensiest subwoofer you\u2019ll ever see.

That\u2019s mostly due to the way televisions are designed. Great-sounding speakers are bulky, and as TVs have gotten thinner with shrinking bezels and sleeker designs, manufacturers are having a harder time building good speakers into them.<\/p>\n<p>You can spend as little as $100 to $150 on a new soundbar, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/just-get-a-soundbar-already\/\">it\u2019s essential to getting the most out of your TV experience<\/a>. Our list of the best soundbars we\u2019ve tested includes soundbars sold on their own and models that come bundled with a subwoofer and surround speakers at a wide variety of price points.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-eGPSID czXIDr\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-fEnXXG iiuTyf\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jbkqX ckSoPI\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerLabel-hZxKcV bwkkoI\">\n<p>Are Soundbars as Good as Speakers?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"BaseButton-bLlsy ButtonWrapper-xCepQ fhIjxp fCyinQ button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-eCWroF XOSgO\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-cjAuJN bBWXSg button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-cezZtS fKNdmR opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p>Stumble onto any A\/V or home theater subreddit or forum and you\u2019ll see a mob of people claiming even the idea of a soundbar matching up to a pair of speakers is heresy. The truth, as far as we\u2019re concerned, is that it all depends on your individual wants and needs.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for the most musical bang for your buck, especially when it comes to hi-res audio and vinyl record collections, a great pair of bookshelf speakers is likely your best value option. Even if you\u2019re not keen on shopping for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/audiophile-gear-guide\/\">amplifier<\/a> and running speaker wires, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-bookshelf-speakers\/\">best bookshelf speakers guide<\/a> offers plenty of powered\/active pairs that include all the inputs and amplification built-in, like a soundbar system for audiophiles.<\/p>\n<p>That may not be the best option for everybody, though. If you\u2019re just after something cheap and simple to soup up your TV sound, or conversely, a convenient way to explore exciting audio formats like surround sound and Dolby Atmos, a soundbar could be the perfect choice. Soundbars are affordable and hassle-free solutions, many of which offer sound and features that may match your needs better than a pair of speakers or a traditional home theater setup. We take no sides here, we just love good sound and great features. For many, a soundbar is the best way to get there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-eGPSID czXIDr\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-fEnXXG iiuTyf\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jbkqX ckSoPI\"><button class=\"BaseButton-bLlsy ButtonWrapper-xCepQ fhIjxp fCyinQ button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-eCWroF XOSgO\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-cjAuJN bBWXSg button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-cezZtS fKNdmR opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p>This is a question only you can answer, but there are a few points to consider before making a call, starting with your living space. If you live in a smaller apartment or multiplex, a subwoofer may not be the best choice due to both its size and its likelihood of arousing noise complaints. Larger modern soundbars have gotten increasingly good at reproducing convincing bass from a single bar, often utilizing multiple speakers in concert to bring more punch to lower frequencies without causing lots of boom and bombast.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re less concerned about close quarters and looking for more cinematic punch, you should highly consider a soundbar with a subwoofer. Physics can only be stretched so far, and no multi-speaker system we\u2019ve heard can match the punch and potency of a dedicated large driver and acoustic cabinet. Even many affordable soundbar models include a subwoofer. If you want full-throttle sound, we suggest considering going all in for a subwoofer, or at the very least a bar that allows you to add one later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honorable Mentions Photograph: Parker Hall There are a lot of great soundbars out there, and we don\u2019t have room to feature them all.
