starting our list is the Yamaha audio Y
a s - 209 BL our pick for the best value
per dollar sound bar Yamaha has a track
record of producing excellent lower
price sound bars and at under $300 the
Yamaha Y AS 209 is no exception and
makes our list as one of the best value
per dollar sound bars around the Yamaha
Y is 209 BL has a few standout features
that puts it ahead of its price class
first of all the sound bar itself is
nice and thin but it doesn't sound thin
thanks in part to its very large
wireless subwoofer that seriously boosts
its low-end sounds while many sound bars
try to find ways to shrink the sub this
one will definitely take up some space
in your room but the better bass you get
from it is worth it's larger footprint
the main unit includes four 1.75 inch
drivers and two 1-inch tweeters and
overall sound delivery is very good
dialogue has excellent resonance once
again thanks to the subwoofer and you'll
get a pretty nice wide sound when you
use it in the DTS virtual X 3d surround
mode it isn't quite as encompassing as
the Sonos beam which is coming up later
in this video but it delivers better
base than the beam the second standout
feature is that the Y a s 209 is smart
and by that we mean a Lexus smart Yamaha
has built an Alexa right into the sound
bar see
can ask Alexa to change the volume as
well as use the sound bar as your smart
assistant the sound bar sounds great as
the speaker for your smart assistant
much better than the echo dot and the
best part is Alexa even works when the
sound bar is powered off if you're
looking for a smart sound bar in this
price range
the Yamaha Y is 209 is one of the best
sound bars available especially if you
plan to use it to listen to music in
addition to watching movies and TV this
sound bar delivers all-around solid
performance and is most definitely one
of the best value for the dollar choices
out there next we have the Bose sound
bar 500 our pick for a great overall
sound bar Bose is known for getting big
sound out of small packages and at under
$500 its sound bar 500 is strikingly
thin delivers great overall sound and
comes with built-in voice control for
good measure
the first thing you will notice about
the Bose sound bar 500 is how slim it is
it's noticeably slimmer than the Sonos
beam you can play integrated music
services like Spotify music and audible
through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections
and you've got three different ways to
manage what you hear voice Bose Music
app or with the included remote the
sound bar 500 excels at making dialogue
clearer and produces impressive bass for
a small unit without a subwoofer the
sound is bright and clear but does lack
a little in bass step when compared to
systems like the Y a s 290 that comes
with a separate subwoofer
dialogue-driven scenes with and without
music have a wonderful crispness to them
along with plenty of richness the sound
bar 500 s digital signal processing
keeps the tracks from distorting but on
the negative side at top volumes the DSP
thins out the bass so much it sounds
more like a powerful tap than a deep sub
bass heavy thump if you're a sub bass
lover you will either want to opt for
the separate bass module which adds $400
to the price or consider another sound
bar system like the Y a s 209 that ships
with a sub however to point out when
listening to music this sound bar has
the traditional base forward bose sound
and it doesn't lack low-end at all the
bose sound bar 500 delivers a wide sound
despite its small footprint further
price the sound bar 500 gets plenty
right
voice integration and easy-to-use app
and clear rich audio this is a great
overall sound bar and should not be
overlooked
up next is the Sonos beam our pick for
the best sound bar for small spaces
shaped like a flattened elongated pill
the tsoumas beam is smaller than most
sound bars but don't let it's relatively
dim unitive size fool you there's plenty
going on inside the unit and at under
$400 it's one of the best sound bars for
small spaces you'd never guess from
looking at it but the sonÃs beam
produces a wider sound than you'd think
given its smaller size you get nice
balanced treble mid-range and bass while
it generally does have enough face like
the Bose sound bar 500 it won't rattle
the floor unless you add a sub woofer if
you need more low-end you can get the
beam bundled with a sub woofer but for
most smaller spaces the sound bar is
room filling enough Sonos prides itself
on music playback and overall the beam
meets the high expectations as a small
sound bar the beam doesn't get extremely
loud but it's loud enough to fill a
medium-sized room few sound bars can
match Sonos when it comes to matching
sound to the environment the standout
feature of Sonos is true play sets the
beam apart from others in its class true
play automatically adjusts the beam
sound to work best in the room in which
you've placed by using your phone's
microphone to measure sound throughout
the room you can also manually adjust
bass and treble when watching a video
you can also engage speech enhancement
which boosts the center channel or night
mode which lowers the bass level as with
other sono sound bars the beam doesn't
come with a remote you can control it
with your existing TV remote or if your
TV supports HDMI arc CC you can use
Amazon's Alexa and voice commands to
control it if you are a collector of
remotes then this could be a
deal-breaker for you but most will be
happy enough to have one less remote
lying around the Sonos beam is packed
with tons of features and delivers great
sound for a small sound bar and comes
with the added convenience of voice
controls if you're looking for a sound
bar for a smaller space then the beam
could be the one for you

bars you can buy finally we have the
Samsung hwq 90 are our pick for the best
premium sound bar if you're in the
market for a top-of-the-line premium
sound bar then the Samsung hwq 9dr is
the one for you described as total
immersion therapy this sound bar comes
with Dolby Atmos and DTS X and a price
tag that sits just below $1400 at first
glance the Samsung hwq 9dr appears
rather expensive for a sound bar however
once you consider its capabilities
you start to realize it offers
surprising value the hwq 9dr sets itself
apart from the competition currently
there are no other sound bar packages
that deliver a genuine 7.14 channel
experience using wireless rear speakers
and for upward firing speakers the
speakers combine to produce a genuinely
immersive sound experience with Dolby
Atmos and DTS X when watching the live
aid at the end of Bohemian Rhapsody the
front two channels handle the music the
side firing drivers help to add more
width and rears provide the sound of the
audience while the overheads recreate
the echo of the old Wembley Stadium this
sound bar literally exists in a class
all on its own even if you wanted to
build an equivalent 7.14 channel system
you'd find it hard to achieve for less
than the cost of this soundbar speaker
subcomittee cost more and be harder to
install them the hwq 9tr system the
genuinely immersive sound experience
coming out of the hwq 9dr is hard to
beat Samsung subsidiary Harman Kardon
was actively involved in the development
of the hwq 9dr tuning the sound bar to
ensure it's as good with music as it is
with multi-channel audio there are four
sound modes standard surround game pro
and adaptive sound the standard sound
mode works best with music and because
of the sheer size of the sound bar you
get excellent separation between the
left and right speakers and
stereo imaging and precise location of
instruments is very impressive the
adaptive sound mode works best with
sports broadcasts or dialogue driven
programming the Samsung hwq 9dr is a
fantastic immersive audio sound bar that
delivers real bang for your buck no
other sound bar comes close to producing
the full Dolby Atmos and DTS X
experience and thanks to tuning from
Harman Kardon the hwq 9 TR sounds just
as good during music playback this
well-made and cleverly designed package
puts you right in the action and makes
it well worth the investment alright
