Test Report

Soundbars tested - speakers for powerful TV sound

While many TVs have a good picture, their sound often leaves much to be desired. And even with TVs that sound good, you can get more out of them with additional speakers. That's exactly why soundbars and soundplates were developed. Our soundbar test shows: expensive does not mean good. Some high-priced models do not sound convincing or have weaknesses in handling. It's worth comparing: good soundbars can be found for less than 300 euros. New in our database in July 2023: 15 soundbars with prices between 65 and 1,500 euros.
