Bose TV Speaker, Black
The Bose speaker is designed to be sleek and simply to use. It uses a single connection to your TV using an audio or HDMI cable for easy set-up. The speaker allows for Bluetooth connectivity so you can pair it with any device. There is also a Bass mode to allow for a deeper and richer sound quality, and a Dialogue mode which can enhances the words in your show or movie so you can hear it more clearly.
Bose Smart Soundbar 900, Black
Another Bose option to consider is the smart sound bar, which can support Dolby Atmos and Atmos-encoded content. Bose proprietary TrueSpace spatial processing will analyze other signals as well — such as stereo or 5.1 — to create a 7-channel sound experience. You’ll be able to control the bar via Amazon Alexa, or via your television, cable, or satellite box. The bar is also compatible with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2, and Spotify Connect.
Sonos Beam Soundbar Gen 2, Black
The Sonos Beam Soundbar has a fast processor which will also support Dolby Atmos and make you feel like you’re in the action. You can utilize Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to set timers, check the news, control your smart home devices, and more. And the Beam will be future-proof, as you can mix and match speakers to build the home theater system that best suits your needs.
Polk Audio Signa S2 Universal TV Sound Bar and Wireless Subwoofer System
The Polk Audio Signa S2 will fill your room with rich sound through its sound bar and wireless subwoofer. The system will work with 4K and HD TVs via its included HDMI cable.
