Let Soundbars Do the Talking: Five Models Compared and Ranked

Sometimes a TV has great pictures but not-so-great sound.

A soundbar is a long, low speaker that you put near your TV to make sound better.

The article looks at five different soundbars.

Some are small and cheap, like the boAt Aavante, which costs about ₹5,999.

Others are bigger and more powerful, like the Sony HT-S40R, which has 600 watts of sound.

The Sonos Beam is special because it supports Dolby Atmos, which makes sound seem to come from all around you.

But it costs more and doesn't come with a separate subwoofer for deep bass.

Buyers like strong bass and clear talking sounds in movies.

Before buying, you should think about your room size and what you watch.

A powerful soundbar isn't always better for everyone.
