Best Soundbars of 2024 | TV Audio Upgrades for Every Budget

What do you think about the LG S90TY ?

JBL Bar 1300 is the best and you didn't even review it so I have to wonder how much you actually know...

The Vizio SV510M-0806 soundbar BF price is $169.99 at BB. That's $30 cheaper than Amazon.

Soundbars really make a difference. I picked up an inexpensive refurbished one from Bose web site.

Now, I am thinking of getting a better one.

just picked up a 700eur q990d and paired it to a 3000eur 77 lg g4. Couldn't be happier, this has been my dream for some time

I want to highlight that I went from the ARC Ultra, ERA300 rears, dual subs to a used open box Samsung Q990C. If you’re not going the whole home route get the Samsung, it’s so much more fun to use, way more convincing, and just better all around.

i use the sonos arc ultra gen 3 sub and 2 era 300s i hope 1 day we can add more 2 era 300s

hey celeb 👋 between the polk and sonos compact which is better? their both close in price.

Samsung q990c/d is the best, period

Sony HT-A3000 250-Watt 3.1 Channel Sound Bar. Sony SA-SW3 200-Watt Wireless Subwoofer. 2 Sony SARS3S 100-Watt Wireless Bookshelf Speakers. $1,130 CAD, all in.

No mention of the Beosound Theatre? The best money can buy...

Hi

JBL bar 1000

What about Sonos Era 100 as the rears for the Arc Ultra? (vs the 300)

I just recently picked up a Certified Refurbished Vizio M512a-H6 and it sounds great! It pairs nicely with my 77" LG G4 🙌

Spoiler: Nakamichi Dragon is best.
All else are wee babes. Sns.

A soundbar for every budget? In the premium choices kept expecting Dragons, but, alas, there were none to behold. It's scary not seeing Dragons.

Isn’t the sennheiser ambeo max better than any of the ones mentioned in this video?

I’m sort of stuck between the Arc Ultra with the 300s or going with the Samsung 990D. I currently have a Beam with a Gen 3 sub. The attraction to the Samsung is the audio pass through which will give my old tv more life for a while since it only supports ARC right now. I’m seriously considering the Samsung S90D but possibly closer to the Super Bowl unless I see a stellar deal this week.

I appreciate any thoughts or comments.

Here for the BOSE Smart soundbar, happy it’s good, planning to get it.

Any thoughts about the new Smart Soundbar Ultra?

Thanks for all the good work! 🫶🏽

what is the difference between HDMI 2.1 2.1a and 2.1b? Will an LG C9 display the full output of the PS5 Pro?

Yes! Recipe blogs are so annoying! Does anyone read the 1200 word essay before they start cooking!?!? My kingdom for a “Jump to recipe” button.

What about the Nakamichi Dragon 🐉?

I have the Samsung Q910C and it's fantastic! Upgraded from a Yamaha soundbar and it really changed my movie and gaming experience.

I’ve been extremely happy with the Sonos Beam Gen 2. I’ve had it for a couple of years and it’s never disappointed.

Are you going to make a sonos ark ultra review?

Hey Caleb, just wondering if you will be reviewing the HISENSE 98UX??

Why no one talking about the bar 9. As soon as I bought it keep hearing negative reviews 😂

The best cinnamon rolls are Allison robicellis brown butter cinnamon rolls. I make them all the time. They're worth the time they take.

I just got the Sonos ARC ULTRA + Sub Mini + ERA 100's for my 12 x 12 foot room sounds amazing and am very happy with it gonna upgrade to 2 x Gen 4 subs and the ERA 300's maybe down the road but i must say i am very happy with what i got great video cheers from Vulcan Canada

WARNING: I bought a Samsung HW-Q910C soundbar, works fine. BUT whenever it's on, my iPhone wireless connection speeds go from about 400 Mbps to less than 10 Mbps !!! I've researched this so much, and unfortunately my Internet Service Provider doesn't allow me to change the broadcast channel, and I've tried disabling WiFi auto band steering which also didn't work. So whenever I want to use my iPhone for anything data heavy, I have to first turn off the soundbar.

Hi Caleb, I totally agree with you on the Yamaha CR20-A. When I bought my mom a new TV (Sony X85K), I got her the CR20-A and hooked it up via eARC. I was very impressed with how it sounds: clear dialog, great sound, and even some base. Even my mom could hear the difference.

Vizio makes the best "cheap" soundbars that hit well above their weight class.

thanks Caleb, I'll probably go with the Bose 👍

I've wanted to add on a sound bar for some time but have always been concerned with potential lag. Are some systems better than others to prevent lag? What do I look for while shopping? I own a LG C3 and wonder what's my best option for under $750?

Sony A7000 with sub and surround speakers is the best one

What's the matter, Caleb? Too scared to review Sony's Theatre Bar 9? Too afraid to test out Audio Centre Sync with the A95L... oooooooh, I think you are! Neh neh n-neh neh, scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat!

Where is Nakamichi Dragon in this ranking ?

Does LG not make any good soundbars? I don’t think I have seen Caleb recommend one.

Dude side note. I recently came across this channel but the furniture and stagings used to display these tv's and speakers are insane.
On the speaker note im still rocking a Bose cinemate 2.1 which has decent sound for being a 10 year old unit, but the mids are so so. Fun fact, if someone has the money to buy Bose, please do ur reaserch and buy something else as ive found bose is extrmemly over priced for what they offer. Dont get me wrong , the sound is good to great, but for the money u can definitely get something less mainstream that allows u to scale up ur sound. Im not an acoustics guy and just trust my ears but if u can afford a Bose you can probably afford a Harmon Kardon or something.

For me personally looks go a long way and the Samsung Q990D is one of the ugliest soundbars around. No matter how great the sound is i will never buy it. With Black Friday the price now is great but it's so cheap looking. Hopefully they will come up with something new in 2025.

Hey Caleb, which video editing software are you guys using for your YT videos? The videos look great and the audio mix is really impressive.

I want to try that Sony sound system so bad, the price is so high but from all the reviews I've seen, it seems like it's worth it

Samsung Q800D, any thoughts!

I went for the JBL bar 1000. Love it and it works well with big sound with limited space with the detachable rears. It's very under rated imo.

Finally. I've been waiting for this video

Polk MagniFi Mini AX currently $299 from $550 easily outperforms anything under $500

Just picked up a Samsung S90D to pair with my S60B soundbar. Man, Q-Symphony makes a difference

I am sooo so ready for the Klipsch Flexus Core 300 and its new atmos surrounds/sub. That’s all I’m waiting for. Onkyo guts with baby Dirac?! It’s a no brainer.
