Samsung’s best flagship soundbars are great things, but its slightly less expensive models haven't always been quite so brilliant. Shrill trebles can very occasionally sound a touch harsh And when you're choosing, think about connectivity too: our soundbar picks connect over HDMI ARC, which means they take all the sound from your TV automatically, and can be controlled from your TV's remote control without any extra setup. More expensive soundbars will have extra features such as wireless connectivity so they can be used as part of multi-room speaker setups, while cheaper soundbars will just focus on the audio from your TV. We've got options for all three kinds here. The first kind is ideal for people who want the most minimal setup, the second kind is great for big sound on a budget, and the third kind is ideal for those who want a real home theater experience. Soundbars come in three main forms: all-in-one units where there's just a single soundbar unit soundbars with subwoofers and soundbars with rear speakers for surround sound. We've tested many soundbars and speaker systems, from elite units with Dolby Atmos 3D sound, to cheap soundbars that provide a simple boost to your sound, and we've whittled down our favorites for you here.

But even the best TVs on the planet tend to need an external soundbar for better audio, especially cheaper TVs.
