12 Stylish Sound Bars in Comparison for 2021

1. Bose Soundbar 500

The renowned American manufacturer Bose is known for its high-quality audio technology. Especially in the field of loudspeakers, this brand manufactures recommended devices, such as the Bose Soundbar 500, which is the big brother of the well-known Soundbar 300.

It is very interesting that you can also operate this soundbar using Amazon’s Alexa voice control. You benefit from a compact design and powerful technology to ensure the best possible sound experience in your own home. Since the Bose Soundbar 500 is also Wi-Fi compatible and can be combined with external devices via Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay 2, you are always able to stream all your entertainment content wirelessly. The variety of control options is also impressive with this soundbar. Use the commands by voice or, as an alternative, use the free Bose Music app, which you can find in the App Store. The same is also possible with the supplied remote control.

2. Teufel Cinebar Lux Soundbar

The new Teufel soundbar, the Cinebar Lux, has several advantages. Thanks to the slim design, you can use it almost anywhere. So you can easily place this soundbar on the sideboard or attach it directly under the TV with a wall bracket. The soundbar has an integrated subwoofer so that it is not necessary to connect a separate subwoofer. In our test, we were able to confirm the playback of TV, music and gaming content at a high level.

Teufel uses four passive bass membranes for this product. These create a coherent bass foundation without being intrusive, which was also shown in our own test. In addition, twelve high-performance drivers and nine power amplifiers are installed. This ensures high levels in rooms of up to 30 square meters.

The following options are available for connections with this model:

-HDMI-CEC output for operation with TV remote control
-ARC for one-cable connection on the TV
-HDMI input
-4K pass-through

A subwoofer can also be connected.

3. The Sonos PLAYBAR WiFi soundbar with hi-fi sound like in a cinema

If one thing can be ascertained recently, it is that the well-known manufacturers of soundbars have grown again in terms of design.

The setup of the device is very easy and can be done quickly with two cables – one for the power and one for the TV. The soundbar can be easily controlled with your conventional remote control or with the special Sonos app.

The Sonos Playbar delivers thanks to its nine amplified drivers (six mid-range, three tweeters) a clear and powerful sound that is clearly superior to any normal speaker. You will only get the optimal sound here if you also buy one or two Sonos speakers (Play 1) and a subwoofer – so you get the unique 5.1 surround sound just like from the cinema on your sofa at home.
