We think the Sony HT-G700 hits an excellent sweet spot for features, price and the scale of its sound. The minimalist cable connections and all-in-one system construction add to this no-fuss feeling and streamlined aesthetic – making it the best Dolby Atmos soundbar you can buy in 2022. We also liked the simple setup, which involved just a couple of steps on the smartphone app, and as you'd expect it's easy to hook it up to other Sonos speakers. We thought the effect was pretty convincing in our tests, and while it's not as immersive as overhead speakers mounted on your ceiling it's a lot easier to install. It then enhances the 3D soundscape using Dolby Atmos object tracks to bounce certain sounds off the walls around you so they feel like they’re coming at you from all angles.

The Sonos Arc draws on Dolby’s latest TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus sound codecs to deliver the best quality lossless audio found on cutting edge Blu-ray disks and some of the leading streaming services.

It isn't cheap, but if you're already a fan of Sonos then we think you're going to love the way this soundbar delivers really impressive surround sound. Sonos has managed to cram an entire surround sound solution into its Arc soundbar. So we're here to help whittle it down to just the most worthwhile options, no matter whether you want to create the ultimate home theater system of your dreams, or you simply want an affordable way to improve the sound of your TV and make speech more clear. Matt Bolton, Senior Editor – TV and Audioįinding the best soundbar can be a complicated process – there's a huge range of options, with lots of spec differences, at all kinds of prices. It's the elite soundbar of choice for us now – but it's priced like it, too.

This is for those who want that real movie theater experience, but it comes from just four boxes. We have a new entry for those who want the most spectacular 3D sound possible from a soundbar, though: the Samsung HW-Q990B.

We also still think the Sony HT-G700 is the best option for those want the Dolby Atmos effect for a low price, and for TVs of 48 inches and up. In July 2022, we still rate the Sonos Arc as the best soundbar for most people with 55-inch TVs and up, thanks to its ability to provide great Dolby Atmos sound that's big and rich even without a soundbar.
