#12 Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar: $669.00 Amazon $669.00 eBay
Pros: The Smart Ultra keeps voices front and center, and its AI Dialogue mode helps with mumbled lines. Up-firing drivers add real height to Atmos movies, and ADAPTiQ tunes the sound to your room. AirPlay 2, Chromecast and Alexa are built in.
Cons: Bass is thin for a bar this size until you add a Bose bass module. Treble can sound harsh at higher volume, and the stage is narrower than the Sonos Arc Ultra, which beat it on vocals in a direct comparison. It has no DTS:X and no HDMI input, and the Bose Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar now sits above it in the range.
