If you're looking for a new sound bar, you've probably got several options. The Bose Smart Soundbar 900 is a popular option, as well as the Sennheiser Ambeo (Sony HT-A5000). There are many other models, including the LG GX. Which model is best? Let's take a look and see which one is the best.
Sennheiser Ambeo
Sennheiser Ambeo soundbar is designed to support surround sound as well as a wide frequency range. This sound bar does not require either side speakers or a subwoofer, making it ideal for home theater systems. It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and MPEG-H Audio. It can use its acoustics to create a relaxing soundscape.
The Ambeo Soundbar has six 4" long-throw woofers and a pair of 1" tweeters. Its unique shape allows it to project ambient noises around a room. The speaker is not recommended in rooms with high ceilings. It also requires a flat surface to properly map the room.
Sony HT-A5000
With 5.1.2 channel surround sound, the Sony HT-A5000 envelops its users with real-life surround sound. Its up-firing speakers and side beam tweeters create a truly immersive experience. It also has an integrated dual subwoofer and advanced audio software technologies.
The Sony sound bar HT-A5000 is a mid-to/high-end option. It features Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay and Google Chromecast Audio. It also includes an HDMI 2.1 port. It also supports PlayStation 5 and Auto Genre Picture Mode.
Bose Smart Soundbar 900
Although the Bose Smart Soundbar 900 can produce high-end sound, it is not capable of creating a true high-end home theatre experience. This model includes nine speakers and Bose’s PhaseGuide sound tech, which makes the sound more direct. However, if you're more concerned with entertainment than quality, there are other options for you.
Bose Smart Soundbar is 900's soundbar's treble sounds clear and uncluttered, making them a great choice in home entertainment. Although it has a good stereo THD performance, there is an occasional spike when you turn up the volume. It also delivers solid stereo imaging and two-channel sound. It also has a dedicated center speaker for clear dialogue.
LG GX
The LG GX soundbar is the best choice for multi-dimensional sound. The 3.1-channel, high-res soundbar mounts flush to your OLED TV and is just as thin as the screen. It has Dolby atmos and DTSX technologies for multi-dimensional sound.
The LG Sound Bar GX is very expensive and includes a small speaker and two HDMIs. The soundbar also has Dolby Vision passthrough, but isn't HDR10+ or 4K HDR. It doesn't have a USB connection and is not equipped with an internal power supply.
