| Bottom line | The Harman Kardon SB 16 features a premium price tag and some remote control quirks, but its excellent sound quality and exterior design make it worth the extra cash. | The SpeakerCraft CS3 is a handsome, excellent-sounding sound bar that's well worth its lofty price. | Although its sonic talents are comparatively modest, the Bose Solo is an exceedingly handsome and easy-to-use sound bar. | The Sonos Playbar is cleverly designed and does great fake surround, but it's better suited to current Sonos customers than newcomers. | The Sony HT-CT260 is our go-to budget sound bar pick, with excellent sound quality, built-in Bluetooth, an adaptable design, and no major missteps. |
