#10 Bose Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar: $1,090.98 Amazon $1,090.98 eBay
Pros: The Lifestyle Ultra spreads sound wide and smooth, and up-firing drivers add audible height to Atmos movies. CustomTune calibration adapts it to your room, and dialogue stays easy to follow. It streams over AirPlay 2, Chromecast and Bluetooth, and can grow into a full system with the matching sub and rears.
Cons: On its own it lacks the punch and scale of the Sonos Arc Ultra, so big action scenes feel restrained. Even as a full set with sub and rears it finished behind the Arc Ultra and the Nakamichi Dragon in The Hook Up premium shootout. It has no DTS:X, no optical input and no HDMI input.
