The standout amongst the models we've tested is the "phenomenal" Samsung HW-Q990H one of a select group of 5-star products , thanks to its "powerful, engaging and detailed sound profile",
straightforward setup and strong connectivity options. Another winner was the LG Sound Suite Immersive Suite 7 Pro . If you're yearning for some
"phenomenal rumbling bass", this is the soundbar for you.

Those are both premium picks, but we also reviewed a couple of brilliant budget options. The Klipsch Flexus Core 100 comes in at a fraction of the price of that Samsung model, and while its soundscape is understandably less expansive, it still impressed us by delivering clear dialogue, strong bass, and a useful, responsive display. The rather utilitarian-looking Zvox AccuVoice AV855 also stood out from the pack; this bar is especially designed to make dialogue easier to hear. It's built especially for those with hearing impairments, but will appeal to anyone who's sick of having to turn on the subtitles on just to understand what's happening.
