Best Budget Soundbars of 2023

TL;DR

  • Vizio M-Series 5.1 Soundbar and LG S80TR are solid budget options.
  • Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is recommended for those interested in whole-home audio integration.

Budget-Friendly Options

For those seeking soundbars within the $200-$300 range, several models stand out as good choices. The Vizio M-Series 5.1 Soundbar is frequently mentioned for its quality sound and affordability [4]. The LG S80TR is another option that users have found to be a good deal, especially if you can find promotions or refurbished units [1:5].

Sound Quality and Features

The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is often highlighted for its ease of use and sound quality. It offers features such as Dialogue enhancement, Airplay 2, Spotify Connect, and Alexa integration, making it a versatile choice for those who want more than just a basic soundbar [4:3]. However, it lacks Bluetooth connectivity, which might be a limitation for some users [4:11].

Comparisons and Considerations

When comparing soundbars, users often weigh factors like sound quality, ease of setup, and additional features. The Bose Smart Soundbar 600 and Samsung HW-Q600C are also popular choices among users looking for reliable soundbars [5]. While Sonos is praised for its whole-home audio capabilities, other brands like JBL and Yamaha offer competitive sound quality without requiring additional speakers [5:4].

Additional Recommendations

For those willing to stretch their budget slightly, the Sennheiser Ambeo Mini has been noted for superior sound quality compared to the Sonos Beam, though it comes at a higher price point [2:1][2:3]. Additionally, the Hisense AX5125H with Dolby Atmos was recommended by a user who purchased it during Black Friday sales [1:2].

In summary, when choosing a budget soundbar, consider what features are most important to you, whether it's integration with other devices, sound quality, or ease of setup. Look for deals and promotions to maximize your purchase value.

ORIGINAL POST

Looking for the best soundbar I can get for $200-$300 for an apartment. I’m not looking for magic in this price range just a nicer movie upgrade over the poor sounding muffled bass heavy speakers on my tv. I mostly watch movies in 4k.

Best Budget Soundbars Questions + Comparison Help

Posted by EpicKieranFTW · in r/Soundbars · 28 days ago

I recently got an LG Oled B4 48' and am looking for a soundbar to go with it. First question is, how much do you need to spend on a soundbar for it to be worth upgrading on the TV speakers? Maximum budget I'd be willing to spend would be £200-300.

I've checked out a few "best budget soundbars" reviews and have found a few which I'd appreciate any thoughts on:

  1. T3 best soundbars for LG TVs
    1. Best soundbar for most people: Sonos Beam (2nd Gen)
    2. Best budget soundbar: Denon DHT-S316
  2. RTings best soundbars of 2025
    1. Best budget soundbar: Hisense AX5125H
  3. The Telegraph - best soundbars of 2025
    1. Best value soundbar: JBL Bar 2.0 (MK2)

How come you're leaning towards that over the Sonos?

Hades_Dragon73 · 27 days ago

I'll assume you're talking about the Beam 2 as similarly priced

I have a small lounge and thin walls so don't want a sub, and don't really have the space for rear speakers, so don't need to buy into the whole Sonos speakers everywhere thing. Plus if I did that it would be cheaper to buy a proper receiver and speaker package

From reviews the Ambeo has better sound than the Beam. I also don't have any Apple products so can't set up the trueplay on a Sonos which it needs to get the best out of it.

But the main thing is the Beam doesn't have Bluetooth, which would be used from other devices, music from phone etc

Best Soundbar To Buy Right Now?

Posted by zimpaen · in r/Soundbars · 2 months ago

I’m currently looking for a good, beginner-friendly soundbar to upgrade my TV setup — something that can really improve dialogue clarity, movie audio, and overall sound quality without getting too complicated.

I don’t need a full home theater system, just a solid soundbar that’s easy to set up, sounds great, and works well for both movies and everyday TV watching.

Here are a few models I’ve been considering:

Sonos Beam (Gen 2), Bose Smart Soundbar 600, Samsung HW-Q600C, Vizio M-Series 5.1 Soundbar, Yamaha YAS-209, Polk Audio Signa S4, LG S75Q Soundbar

If you’ve used any of these or have another favorite soundbar that’s worked well for you, I’d love to hear your experience! Also open to advice on bass performance, voice clarity, whether Dolby Atmos is worth it, and how well they integrate with streaming devices.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry I’ve only ever heard the q990D.

I have no issues with the subwoofer, it doesn’t crack/pop and will shake most of the room. Overall I’m very impressed with the q990d, I listened to some LG soundbars at BestBuy, they had no OOMPH to them or good punch. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by either the q990d or the F. I’d purchase whichever bar you can find on sale. Ive had zero issues with my q990d.

Whoa, that's a big statement. I have an old Kenwood home theater in a box setup with a Kenwood VR 407 system and this is my first foray into the soundbar territory with the Samsung hwq Q990F and although I haven't set it up yet, I'm a bit wary of it. How can a glorified soundbar system sound better than a traditional home theater system? I would be using my old Kenwood 5.1 setup if it weren't for space limitations. I'll see how this goes!

I had an Atmos home theater system with a Yamaha V6A and some old Kef speakers. Q990F actually sounds pretty decent - esp compared to sound bars a couple of years back (had a Q990F). For movies, I can imagine it being better than some home theater systems. The Atmos effects are good.

For music, it's not as good as the Kef floor standing speakers I had. That said, it's definitely good enough to the level that I don't miss my old setup anymore.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm using my TV's speakers along with it too via Q-Symphony and to me, that makes it sound better.

Sound quality, number of speakers, AMT tweeters, Atmos reproduction, the sound bubble it creates, ease of setup and customization, DTS pro, amps on each sound channel, wattage in the drivers, two subs (dual opposing) in each sub box for great LFE (can shake my room/house), HDMI 2.1, lots of extra HDMI ports (in case your TV ran out of them) , no sound drop outs, etc.

Just bought a 65inch oled LG TV, G4 model, that came with a free soundbar USG 10 T and that costs about £400 in the UK to purchase separately. Bought from an Hi-fi specialist Richer Sounds(Cardiff UK) for £1500 for the TV and soundbar. I've yet to set up the pair, as I'm having acoustic panels fitted behind the TV. My parents have a cheap LG soundbar and that's far better sounding than the Panasonic TV. So anything you can afford is an improvement I think.

most flagship soundbars starting from 2023 are excellent mate. no need to buy the latest, there has not been improved much. maybe the choice between 120hz input may be inportant for you(because of less cable management) but if you have a great tv that is not even important.

If it is budget, the soundbars from vizio elevate seem to be high rated by rting. but you have to be aware wich model.

it comes down on personal audio taste. do like movies, games, music(if only music skip soundbars) or just tv.

when it is gaming and movies i would recommend 900D from samsung, but my room layout is excellent for this soundbar. i just like the clear voice, the bass and atmos audio. sonis is also great i own also sonos for another room, but i find it not as good as 900d for gaming, i like the multiroom function though.

Soundbars Under $300

Posted by Shanon-Kid · in r/BestSoundbars · 6 months ago

Hello,

Lately, I’ve had the chance to review more than 40 different soundbars, so I thought it would be helpful to share what I found and help anyone looking for a new one.

What You Get for $300:

  • Solid 2.0, 2.1, or 3.1 soundbars with good clarity and decent bass.
  • Some models include a wireless subwoofer for better low-end performance.
  • Connectivity options like HDMI ARC, optical, Bluetooth, and sometimes Wi-Fi.
  • Smart features on select models, such as voice assistants or app support.

What Requires a Higher Budget:

  • Premium brands like Sonos, Bose, or Sony with advanced audio processing.
  • Dolby Atmos support for immersive 3D surround sound.
  • High-end 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound systems with dedicated rear speakers.
  • Higher power output for large rooms or home theater setups.

Things to Consider Before Buying:

  • Audio Channels: A 2.0 or 2.1 setup is great for basic needs, while 3.1 or higher improves dialogue clarity.
  • Subwoofer: Some soundbars include one for better bass, while others rely on built-in drivers.
  • Connectivity: HDMI ARC is ideal, but Bluetooth and Wi-Fi help with music streaming.
  • Size: Make sure it fits your TV setup.
  • Smart Features: Some models support Alexa, Google Assistant, or AirPlay for added convenience.

Best Soundbars Under $300

  • Bose TV Speaker (Best Overall 2.0 Soundbar) - A stylish and compact way to enhance TV audio with clear dialogue and Bluetooth streaming. Easy setup with HDMI or optical connections.
  • LG S60T (Best 3.1 Budget Pick) - A solid 3.1-channel soundbar with a subwoofer and Dolby Audio, delivering clear and balanced sound with AI Sound Pro for automatic adjustments.
  • Samsung 5.0ch Soundbar (S60D) (Best Value 5.0 Soundbar) - Features built-in subwoofers, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth for wireless streaming. Adaptive Sound optimizes audio based on content.

I recommend checking out this page for updated options, including my detailed reviews. Use the filter on the page to get option for $300 or any other budget in mind.

Let me know if you have any questions or if you've found better options.

Good luck

1 upvotes on reddit
Shanon-Kid · OP · 6 months ago

You’ve got a couple of choices in that range in my opinion.

If you want something from a trusted brand with Dolby Atmos, check out the Sony HT-S2000. It’s a compact 3.1 soundbar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support. It uses Sony’s Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround for imporved audio. It also has built-in subwoofers, so you don’t need an external sub if space is an issue.

The sound quality is pretty balanced, especially for dialogue, but if you want deeper bass, you can add an optional wireless subwoofer.

The only downside is that it doesn’t come with dedicated rear speakers, but for the price, it’s a good pick.

Between the Samsung HW-B550D and the Sony HT-S2000, which would you recommend? I have both in my cart right now and I am not sure which to choose. Mostly watch tv shows and watch movies from 14 feet away. Both currently under $300.

1 upvotes on reddit
Shanon-Kid · OP · 6 months ago

Maybe I can help, though it is a tough comparison :)

If you want deeper bass and the flexibility to add rear speakers later, the Samsung HW-B550D with its wireless subwoofer is the better choice.

But if you prefer a cleaner setup with Dolby Atmos and virtual surround sound without extra speakers, the Sony HT-S2000 is the way to go.

So if prioritize bass and expandability (Samsung) or immersive 3D audio in a compact design (Sony).

I know it was supposed to be under $300, but I think I can stretch my budget to around $400. I was checking the site above and saw the Polk Signa S4 and the Klipsch Flexus CORE 200.

Can anyone help me decide between the two?

1 upvotes on reddit
Shanon-Kid · OP · 6 months ago

Both are great choices, but they have different strengths.

If you want an ultra-slim design with a separate subwoofer, go with the Polk Signa S4. It’s a 3.1.2-channel setup, meaning it has dedicated center drivers for clear dialogue and up-firing Dolby Atmos speakers for a more immersive effect. The wireless subwoofer helps with bass, making it great for movies.

If you find it for $200 then it is an excellent option. Normally it costs between 250-350$.

It is under 27" (70cm),so you should be good.

Sounds good. Are there any other options I can go for, maybe with more bass? I heared the bass isn't the best on the s60d. Also I know soundbars are mainly used for tvs, but would it be suitable for a desktop setup? And what's the best way to connect it? HDMI arc or Bluetooth/wifi?
