The best soundbars of 2025: Expert tested and recommended


We've tested the latest and greatest soundbars with features like AirPlay and Dolby Atmos compatibility, ranging from $500 to $2,000 to help you find the best one to complement your TV.

After testing dozens of soundbar models, we've chosen the Sonos Arc Ultra as the best for most people for its excellent audio quality and the fact that it delivers deep and powerful bass without an external subwoofer. Why we like it: Marshall's foray into the home audio market was a smash hit, thanks to its jam-packed feature catalog, host of wired connectivity options, unique design, and great sound. The Smart Soundbar has plenty of up-to-date audio features for movie and TV-watching, like Dolby Atmos support, AI Dialogue Mode, and Bose TrueSpace for automatic upmixing of the content you're watching.
