The Samsung HW-S60T is alright for mixed use. While this soundbar lacks thump and rumble, it delivers punchy bass and a neutral mid and treble, which is suitable for podcasts or audiobooks. If you're looking for more bass, Samsung sells a compatible...

You really can’t get true 5.1 sound at this price anywhere else. Even if you do have to fine-tune the audio and grapple with the lack of meaningful features, the Vizio V-Series 5.1 soundbar is undoubtedly a great deal.

B&W’S FORMATION BAR AND BASS deliver great sound and easy setup but at $2200 for the system, they should also include support for the latest movie audio formats.

For a mono speaker, the Bowers & Wilkins Formation Flex sounds wonderful. But for a $450 speaker? That's much harder to justify. First off, it has issues with deep bass at high volume levels, which isn't acceptable in this price range. In addition, the...

The TCL Alto 6+ is okay for mixed usage. It's a decent choice for dialogue-centric content since its balanced mid-range reproduces voices clearly and accurately. That said, its sound profile can also sound a bit dark and flat due to the recessed treble...

The solid build, industry-beating battery life and better-than-average sound delivery are quite remarkable given the speaker's size. SharePlay sounds like a handy feature for those wanting to sync multiple Soundcore speakers for an even bigger sound,...

The slim, floor-standing Emit 30s are very easy to like. Do not place them far away but neither too close to the back wall, and be prepared for them to sound much bigger and tougher than you had imagined. Maybe not our first choice for live recording...

I really like the sound of the Urbanears Rålis. It’s rich, deep, and smooth with good clarity. The bass is a bit boomy on most tracks I listened to, but not enough to be a serious drawback—heck, bass heads will love it! And the so-called Blumlein...

The Niimbot D110 is a fun and practical thermal printer and one of the cheapest you'll find right now. It's small and easy to use and can print a variety of label styles. While the print quality is a little scrappy and the app hides some fonts and...

The Harman Kardon Citation One delivers a user-friendly experience through its simple manual controls as well as through Google Assistant. It also puts out some solid, bass-forward audio as well. The lack of wired connectivity is annoying (but not...

While the Bose TV Speaker may be considerably more expensive than bigger, bolder soundbars that have more features, it’s the perfect TV companion for those who are short on space and patience, and big on sound quality. Though expensive for what it is,...

For a 2.1 soundbar system at this price, the Sony HT-S350 is a steal. The various audio modes and subwoofer levels allow for plenty of fine-tuning, but things already sound pretty great to begin. In this price range, we're also fans of the JBL Bar 3.1,...

The Vizio SB2020n-G6 is disappointing for mixed use. This soundbar is more suited for a computer setup and it shows in its performance. Its dark sound profile lacks a thumpy bass, which can affect your immersion into action films or music. It doesn't...

The JBL Link Bar aims to combine the functionality of a soundbar, an Android TV streaming box, and a Google Assistant smart speaker. But are you getting three devices seamlessly merged together, or a Frankenstein’s monster?

Harman Kardon's Onyx Studio 7 feels like a Bluetooth speaker from a few years ago, and its high price and spartan feature set aren't enough to compete by today's standards.

The Blaster 3.0 comes in at $400, so you would want to put it to good use and have it last a while. It’s not exclusively designed to work outside, but that has to be a major reason why you would spend this much on a Bluetooth boombox. It won’t...
