Sonos Ray soundbar:was£270now £219 at ArgosSonos doesn’t deal solely in high-end kit and the proof is right here, in Sonos' most affordable soundbar. You don’t get HDMI ports, Bluetooth or Dolby Atmos support, but you are still getting all the features and functionality of the Sonos wireless ecosystem. And because it launched in June of last year (and is pretty affordable anyway) we haven’t seen too many discounts on it.
Bose Smart Soundbar 600 Dolby Atmos soundbar:was £499 now£399 at AmazonIf you need to save on space, but don’t want to compromise on sound, the Bose Smart 600 delivers clear dialogue and a big Dolby Atmos sound in a small package. It also comes with plenty of built-in streaming features including AirPlay 2 and is easy to setup. At under £400, this provides an alternative to Sonos if you’re looking for it.
In both the US and UK,Sonoscurrently has both of its best rated soundbars discounted – theSonos Beamand theSonos Ray. The Sonos Beam has plenty of features including Dolby Atmos support, Wi-Fi streaming capabilities and it is embedded in the Sonos ecosystem, meaning it can be paired with optional rear speakers and a sub if you want a bigger sound.
In our review, we said the Beam “provides robust sound”, going onto say how impressed we were by the breadth of its soundstage. The Ray doesn’t have the same connectivity as the Beam (it doesn’t have HDMI), but still gives a room-filling sound for smaller environments that’ll trump any cheap TV’s speakers.
TheBose Smart Soundbar 600, an alternative to the Sonos Beam, gives clear dialogue and a punchy sound. In our review, we were impressed by the quality of the Bose’s spatial audio with Dolby Atmos, which we said “created a believable sense of atmosphere” in movies with Atmos soundtracks. Despite its smaller size, the Bose 600 offers plenty of punch for the price.
At the other end of market, there’s theAmazon Fire soundbarin the US and the JBL Bar 2.0 in the UK. These soundbars are on the more basic side, both featuring 2.0 channels of sound. They both have Bluetooth connectivity to stream music and while they may not be the best soundbars on the market, they’re both no-frills soundbars that provide a boost to your TV’s sound.
