The best Dolby Atmos soundbars for 2023

If you haven’t experienced the all-encompassing surround sound phenomenon that is ]Dolby Atmos, you’re missing out. Unlike traditional surround sound configurations that project audio toward you and from behind you, Dolby Atmos adds more height channels to the formula. The result is complete three-dimensional immersion for your favorite Atmos-ready movies, shows, and video games.

Investing in even the most basic Dolby Atmos setup can be quite expensive though. On top of two front-firing speakers, two rears, and a subwoofer, you’ll also need to consider how you’re going to integrate the height channels that Atmos requires. Are you going to buy ceiling speakers, or should you fork over the dough for those two floor-standing speakers that have up-firing drivers?

Fortunately, there are some excellent soundbars that may not deliver the same results as a dedicated Atmos surround system, but many models get pretty dang close. Here’s our favorite Dolby Atmos soundbars you can buy right now!

Sonos Arc

Best overall Dolby Atmos soundbar

Pros
  • Excellent surround sound
  • Easy and simple setup
  • Decent Dolby Atmos from a single speaker
  • Choice of Alexa or Google Assistant
Cons
  • No HDMI inputs
  • Not ideal for all music genres

With great sound, support for Dolby Atmos, and your choice of voice assistants, Sonos is carving out more space for itself in the premium home theater category. This all-in-one soundbar is also at the higher end of the price spectrum (between $800 and $900), but since it has all the bells and whistles, that’s perhaps not surprising.

The sound quality of the Arc is outstandingly detailed, it gets plenty loud, and it’s got loads of low end, which is key for movie watching (though you can also add the separate Sonos Sub, or the excellent Sub Mini, to your kit if you need more). High tones are sharp and clear, mids and voices slice through easily when watching TV and movies, and it’s just as impressive when it comes to music, thanks to a wide soundstage.

But let's get right to the main attraction — what does the Sonos Arc's Atmos sound like? Our reviewers referred to it as a "stellar audio experience," and although the results can vary depending on your room size and ceiling heights, the Arc's upward-firing speakers do a great job at creating a sense of a bigger 3D space, with ricocheting bullet sounds and speeding cars bouncing off the walls for some great movie immersion.

The Sonos Arc soundbar is controlled via the Sonos app on your smartphone or by asking Google Assistant or Alexa. The Sonos app lets you take control of your speakers in your home and customize the sound, plus with AirPlay 2, you can stream from your iPhone and keep more of the sound quality.

Samsung HW-Q990C

Best Dolby Atmos soundbar for large rooms

Pros
  • An all-in-one home theater solution
  • Built-in Alexa
  • Works with Samsung Q Symphony-certified TVs
  • Spacefit Sound Pro automatically calibrates sound based on environment
Cons
  • Expensive

Home theater-in-a-box products are still fairly popular, especially for folks who just want to get a surround sound installed and blasting as quickly and simply as possible. With brands like Samsung still offering HTIB solutions, we thought we’d shine some light on one of our favorite all-inclusive Atmos soundbar setups — the Samsung HW-Q990C.

Billed as an 11.1.4 Atmos system, the Q Symphony-certified soundbar has 11 front-firing speakers, along with four elevation channels for height-driven sound. That’s on top of two up-firing/side-firing rear speakers and a wireless subwoofer. Do keep in mind that these extra speakers need to be wired to the included rear speaker kit, and the kit itself needs to be plugged into a wall outlet.

Whether you’re using the HW-Q990C to watch movies, play video games, or stream tunes (Dolby Atmos or otherwise) from platforms like Apple Music or Tidal (which both offer Dolby Atmos tracks), the Spacefit Sound Pro feature ensures that the Q990C delivers just the right amount of sound for the room it’s placed in. And as far as smart home automations go, the Q990C also has Alexa built in, meaning you’ll be able to control everything from smart lights to smart thermostats from the comfort of your living room couch.

sonos beam gen 2 hands on review 00016

Sonos Beam (Gen 2)

Best compact Dolby Atmos soundbar

Pros
  • Easy setup
  • Immersive, room-filling sound
  • Sleek design
  • AirPlay 2
Cons
  • No HDMI inputs
  • Requires compatible TV for Dolby Atmos

Sonos soundbars have a penchant for delivering big, bold audio regardless of actual speaker size, and you'd be amazed how much Dolby Atmos sound the second-gen Sonos Beam can deliver from such a small chassis.

If you're buying an audio product that has "Sonos" somewhere in the name, we're content in saying you're in very good hands — at least in terms of sound quality and versatility. Sonos gear is remarkably easy to install, and the Beam takes that simplicity to the next level.

Out of the box, the only connection you'll be working with is HDMI, although Sonos does provide an HDMI-to-optical adapter for TVs without HDMI ARC capabilities (more on that in a second), and adding the Beam to your Sonos network is just a matter of launching the Sonos app and following the instructions.

Onboard support for Alexa and Google Assistant allows you to use the Beam as a go-to smart speaker, and you can even stream and share audio from an iOS device using Apple AirPlay 2.

In terms of performance, the latest Beam delivers phenomenal soundstaging, especially when you consider the size. There's plenty of detail in the mid- and high-range frequencies, and the bass is pretty punchy, too. But if you think you need a little more rumble, linking a Sonos Sub Mini is never a bad idea.

All in all, the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) grants an impressive entrance into the world of Dolby Atmos sound, and for a relatively affordable price, too.

bose smart soundbar 900 review 00010
Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

Bose Smart Soundbar 900

Best Dolby Atmos soundbar for Bose fans

Pros
  • Elegant design
  • Good Dolby Atmos effects
  • Excellent music quality
  • Handy TV voice control
  • Private listening headphone sync
Cons
  • Only one HDMI port
  • Basic, non-backlit remote
  • Bose Music app lacks some features

If there's an Atmos soundbar on this list that we would pit against the Sonos Arc, we'd tag the Bose Smart Soundbar 900 into the ring without a second thought.

Two oval cutouts at the top of the bar house up-firing drivers underneath — a key element for any Atmos system, simulated or not. These speakers are designed to shoot sound toward the ceiling, filling out the vertical end of the Atmos virtualization. For plug-and-play options, the 900 can be connected to your TV with HDMI or digital optical, but you'll want to use the former (with an HDMI eARC-compatible TV) to get that Atmos signal from A-to-B.

Unfortunately, this isn't a great soundbar for HDMI switching, seeing as there's only one port to play with (and it's an output, not an input).

Out of the box, the Bose Smart Soundbar 900 delivers brilliant articulation across mid- and high-range frequencies, with a good amount of bass, too. However, we do recommend you download the Bose Music app (available for iOS and Android devices) for adjusting certain aspects of the EQ (we felt the 900 needed a bit more low-end push and some extra volume for its height channels).

Bose Music also allows you to use AdaptIQ to calibrate the 900 to the listening space it's placed within, and if you plan on using AirPlay 2, Alexa, or Google Assistant, the companion app is a necessity for getting the Bose Smart Soundbar 900 connected to Wi-Fi.

The Smart Soundbar 900 is the company's flagship soundbar, and while the price is high, and the remote control is a bit basic, basic is not the word we would use to describe the Atmos experience you'll get with the 900. Incredible is more like it.

Vizio Elevate

Best multi-speaker Dolby Atmos soundbar

Pros
  • Simple setup, clear chart showing connections
  • Wonderfully unique design
  • Deep control over sound output levels
  • Exceptionally clear dialogue
Cons
  • Effects dependent on room
  • Costly

As we noted, the best way to get that overhead audio effect is to have overhead speakers, but when you can't, upward-firing speakers as part of your soundbar can go a long way toward replicating that full 3D sound.

Packed inside the Vizio Elevate are 18 high-performance speakers with four up-firing speakers in the soundbar, plus more upward-aiming speakers as part of the two rears included in this kit (a separate subwoofer is also part of the package). With this kit, you're literally being surrounded by sound.

The bar of the soundbar actually rotates to aim the sound up and over your head to project all that Dolby Atmos goodness to your ceiling. Our Vizio Elevate review shows just what this rotating soundbar can do in more detail.

Elevate’s Adaptive Height Speakers also rotate forward to blast you with the full force of the audio that aims to create a much broader soundstage. The Elevate also boasts that you’ll hear clearer vocals and concert hall levels of power and performance. The bass to shake your space vibrates down to 30hz and the whole system gets up to 107 decibels, making Vizio Elevate a great Dolby Atmos soundbar for gaming, movie watching, and listening to music.

vizio m series 51 soundbar review m51a h6 5 1

Vizio M-Series M51a-H6 5.1 Soundbar

Best mid-priced Dolby Atmos soundbar

Pros
  • eARC, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X support
  • Impressive subwoofer
  • Seamless surround effects
  • Comprehensive control
  • Excellent fidelity
Cons
  • One HDMI input
  • Less suitable for larger rooms

Utilizing virtual surround instead of the up-firing speakers of some of the other soundbars on our list, the Vizio M-Series M51a-H6 fills the room with spacious sound, with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. This soundbar set also comes with a pair of low-profile surround speakers that are volume-adjustable, plus a 6-inch wireless subwoofer for deep bass with power and boom. A backlit display remote control rounds out the offerings inside the box, making this a great get-it-all-for-a-great-price option.

A flexible setup allows you to choose two placements for your speakers. They can go traditionally at the rear or use Front Surround Mode, where they can be placed at the front of the room for a wider soundstage (also handy for smaller spaces with no room behind the sofa), or Dual Stereo Surround Mode, which sends the same audio to all the speakers at once. An HDMI eARC port is an added bonus (and a rarity at this price point), allowing high-bandwidth and lossless audio when paired with a compatible TV, and the M51a-H6 also includes Bluetooth, optical, and USB connections.

The Vizio M-Series M51a-H6 kit is also smart, and you can use it with Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant devices too.

sennheiser ambeo soundbar review 04168
Riley Young/Digital Trends

Sennheiser Ambeo

Best ultra-premium Dolby Atmos soundbar

Pros
  • Incredibly detailed sound for all formats
  • Breathtaking Atmos virtualization
  • Polished, intuitive interface
  • Loaded with features
  • Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and MPEG-H decoding
Cons
  • Beefy size (and no IR repeater) requires mounting

Under the hood, 13 high-end drivers power the Sennheiser Ambeo soundbar to deliver a 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos sound experience, with support for various other 3D audio formats. Sennheiser also brags that the Ambeo is capable of producing extremely deep 30Hz bass without the need for an extra subwoofer. Plus, outfitted with advanced room calibration, it immerses you in studio-grade sound adapted to the specifics of your space for a truly fine-tuned sound.

Engineered to produce more realistic highs and lows, more dimension, and more nuanced details than you ever imagined possible, the Sennheiser Ambeo soundbar lets you tailor your listening experience with support for MPEG-H — whether you're watching a movie, TV show, or listening to music — with a built-in equalizer and three sound modes so you can adjust things to your own individual taste. Its auto-calibration feature makes setting it up for your unique listening quirks easy, too.

Sennheiser has billed the Ambeo as a soundbar unlike anything else on the market, and it flags two aspects in particular that set it apart: Ambeo virtualization technology, which creates what it believes to be the best 3D sound that can be reproduced by a single device, and its six proprietary 4-inch, long-throw woofers that achieve improved bass reproduction without that external subwoofer. For nearly $2,000, we'd expect no less.

Polk Audio Signa S4

Under $500

Pros
  • Compact design
  • Ultra-simple setup
  • Very clear dialogue
  • Excellent Dolby Atmos sound
  • Great for TV-based music
Cons
  • No EQ adjustments
  • No Wi-Fi/AirPlay/Chromecast
  • No HDMI outputs

If you’re trying to make a thrifty Atmos soundbar purchase, you’re not going to do much better than $300. But if you can stretch the budget a little bit, we urge you to take a look at the incredible Polk Audio Signa S4. This is a 3.1.2 soundbar that comes packaged with a wireless subwoofer. The bar itself is equipped with two tweeters, two midrange drivers, a one-inch center, and two elevation speakers to drive home the Dolby Atmos sound.

As far as sound quality goes, one can think of the Signa S4 as the Goldilocks of Atmos-fueled soundbars. The impressive midrange and low-end is more than we’d expect from a $400 audio device, but it doesn’t possess the same gravitas as something like the Sonos Arc. What’s nice though is that Polk Audio was thoughtful enough to include a Voice Adjust feature, which really comes in handy when you’re watching content that features soft-spoken dialogue.

Connectivity-wise, the Signa S4 has all the compatibility you’ll need to pair up with everyday devices like your smartphone, tablet, or laptop via Bluetooth or the analog 3.5mm port. As for wiring, you’ll have the choice of HDMI ARC/eARC or digital optical, although you’ll want to choose the former if you’re planning on sending Atmos signals down the pipeline.

Sony HTX8500 2.1ch Dolby Atmos Soundbar

Barebones Atmos

Pros
  • Space-saving design
  • Solid sound quality for the price
  • Multiple connections
  • Good audio upscaling
Cons
  • Not as powerful or feature-rich as other Atmos soundbars
  • No dedicated subwoofer

At first glance, the Sony HTX8500 doesn’t look like it can handle much more than two-channel audio. But in fact, this is actually a 7.1.2 Atmos-certified soundbar with built-in audio upscaling for all non-7.1.2 sources. Does it deliver on the Atmos promise though? Yes it does, although this isn’t the type of soundbar that’s going to blow the roof off your house. Think of the HTX8500 as one of the most bare-bones Dolby Atmos experiences available.

When wired using the HDMI ARC/eARC connection, the HTX8500 will give you a pretty solid Atmos experience. While you’ll want to be sitting a little closer to this soundbar than with other systems, you’ll be treated to a wide soundstage with terrific surround sound effects. Sony also does a nice job at enhancing dialogue and vocals, which makes watching any movie or show more satisfying.

In lieu of a wireless subwoofer, Sony went ahead and built the subs directly into the soundbar itself. In our opinion, the bass on this system could do with a little tweaking, because without the dedicated woofer, the low end can get a little trampled from time to time. But if you’re all about getting Atmos by any means necessary, the Sony HTX8500 is the model for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a soundbar do?

A soundbar can both enhance your TV's often meager internal audio and streamline your setup by doing away with the messy cables and cumbersome speakers. No longer do you need multiple speakers to get great quality audio from your TV. A soundbar provides the ability to pare down your setup, particularly if you have a wall-mounted TV.

What should you look for in a soundbar?

There are a few key components to watch for when shopping for a soundbar, and the first is audio quality. Check out multiple reviews of soundbars to make sure you’ll be getting what you pay for.

You also want to ensure the soundbar is going to fit your space. If you have a wall-mounted TV, make sure there are mounting brackets in the back, and it’s nice if any additional wall mounting hardware is included. Double-check the dimensions to ensure the soundbar won’t be wider than your furniture if you’re opting to place it on a TV stand (this is particularly important with something like Sonos Arc, as the soundbar is long and heavy).

Finally, you may be inclined to purchase a color other than black. While Sonos makes its speakers and components in white, many manufacturers do not, so if you’re considering aesthetics, keep this in mind.

Do you need a subwoofer with a soundbar?

A wireless subwoofer as part of a soundbar kit takes things a step further by offering better bass and flexibility in positioning, though it does need to be on the floor and unobstructed. Ask yourself how much you like bass. For a lot of us, having some extra rumble and thump in the room can take TV viewing and movie night to a whole other level. Still, other folks may find the intense vibrations to be too much.

Whether or not you need a subwoofer with your soundbar is a matter of personal preference. If you want that additional low-end capability from your soundbar, a separate wireless subwoofer is a great idea. But if you're OK with what you could call average-sounding bass, you'll probably be just fine with a straight-up soundbar. With some, like the Sennheiser Ambeo, the company claims there’s simply no need for an extra sub because the soundbar is just that good.

What is Dolby Atmos?

With a 5.1- or 7.1-channel home theater sound system, your system is pushing specific audio to specific speakers, and that helps to make it sound like it’s coming from different areas in the room. With Dolby Atmos, instead of sending sound to a speaker, it’s pushed to a spot in 3D space, sometimes by more than one speaker.

Dolby Atmos isn’t the sound or the soundtrack, it’s simply metadata that is used by compatible audio gear to control which speakers are reproducing particular sounds and their location.

Key to Dolby Atmos’ ability to give a more all-encompassing 3D sound effect is the addition of overhead channels or speakers. In a true Atmos system, you’d have actual speakers overhead. Perhaps worth noting, the overall Atmos overhead effect is best enjoyed with those dedicated overhead speakers. Some Dolby Atmos soundbars use upward-firing speakers to deliver this effect, while others try to replicate the 3D effect virtually. Using upward-firing speakers from the soundbar is an effective dupe for Dolby Atmos, while virtual replication can be anywhere from OK to great, depending on the soundbar.

Does Dolby Atmos need special speakers?

In short, yes. As noted above, those overhead speakers are required to create that extra dimension. In a Dolby Atmos soundbar, there are specially built speakers that either direct the sound upward physically (you can often see them under the grill) or they have the ability to use artificial intelligence to simulate pushing that sound to where it needs to be.

Is DTS:X better than Dolby Atmos?

Dolby Atmos has some advantages and disadvantages. While it’s definitely been marketed well, it has a competitor: DTS:X. Another surround sound system that adds width and directional sound, DTS:X also provides that third dimension of height for a more immersive 3D experience.

DTS:X launched a few years after Dolby Atmos and offers users more commercial flexibility. When it comes to big theaters, you can only have up to 64 Atmos-enabled speakers, but with DTS:X, there’s no limit. DTS:X costs theater owners nothing to license, unlike Dolby Atmos.

DTS:X is also more flexible when it comes to the number of "objects" a sound engineer can place virtually in a scene. While DTS allows for virtually unlimited objects, Atmos limits the objects in a scene to 128.

So is DTS:X better than Dolby Atmos? Maybe. But Dolby Atmos has a bigger marketing machine behind it, so a lot of folks may never know.

Do Netflix and YouTube support Dolby Atmos?

Netflix does support Dolby Atmos content, but to get it, you need to make sure absolutely everything in your setup is Dolby Atmos-ready: The TV, the soundbar and speakers, the content, and your streaming device if you’re not playing via the TV.

While it’s possible to find plenty of Dolby Atmos demo videos on YouTube, they won’t play properly. YouTube doesn’t have support for Dolby Atmos yet.

Is Dolby Atmos worth it?

The simple answer is yes, but this is one of those technologies that you need to experience. You probably thought your old SD or HD TV at home looked great until the first time you walked by a 4K TV in a store and wondered what rabbit hole you’d just fallen down.

The same applies to 3D audio like Dolby Atmos. If you’re sitting at home listening to 5.1 surround sound, you probably think life is pretty good. If any electronics stores near you have a dedicated Dolby Atmos display or test room, it’s really worth going in and listening to the difference. You can really see and hear how a helicopter can take off from the TV screen at the front of the room and then lift up and over your head before fading off into the background.

The overall result is a more realistic, lifelike sound that feels like it’s coming from all around you, not just being beamed at you from two or three speakers pointed in your general direction.

What is MPEG-H?

While Dolby Atmos and DTS:X may be the kings of the surround sound hill, there's a new player in town that we're starting to see more of: MPEG-H. We won't get too into the weeds with it here — just go and read our detailed explainer on MPEG-H — but it's a new-ish 360-degree audio format that allows you to do some cool things with the 3D sound space: controlling where the sounds of some objects are coming from (like a helicopter in an action scene coming in from above) or how loud they are (like lowering the volume of an opposing teams fans during a game) to enhancing dialogue so you can hear what's being said better. MPEG-H can currently be experienced with Sony's 360 Reality Audio as well as with the above-mentioned Sennheiser Amebo soundbar.
