Short answer: the Klipsch Flexus Core 200. It ranks #13 of 27 all-in-one soundbars by sound quality, rated 3.5/5, at $479.24; the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Mini ranks #17, rated 3.3/5, and costs $499.95, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
Why pick the Klipsch Flexus Core 200: The horn-loaded center tweeter keeps voices clear and forward, which RTINGS singled out for TV and dialogue. The tradeoff: Bass is plentiful but loose, so What Hi-Fi found rivals more nuanced, and Sound & Vision needed EQ to stop it booming.
Why pick the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Mini: The Ambeo Mini fits under small TVs and still decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It streams over Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth, which the Klipsch Flexus Core 200 cannot. The tradeoff: There are no up-firing drivers, so height and width depend on processing and the stage stays narrow.
Buy the Klipsch Flexus Core 200. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Mini and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
