Side-by-Side Comparison

Channel layout
Counts speaker channels the bar actually has. More ear-level and height channels means a wider, taller sound field.		 7.1.2 4.1
Height channels
Drivers aimed at the ceiling, which is what makes Dolby Atmos sound overhead rather than just wide.		 2 0
Dolby Atmos Yes Yes
DTS:X No Yes
HDMI to the TV
eARC carries lossless Dolby TrueHD and Atmos from the TV; plain ARC compresses them.		 eARC eARC
HDMI inputs
A spare HDMI port for a games console or disc player.		 1 1
Video pass-through 4K —
Subwoofer
Included beats optional beats none: a separate subwoofer is where deep bass comes from.		 Built-in Optional
Rear speakers
Real rear speakers put effects behind you; without them surround is simulated from the front.		 Optional —
Room correction Yes Yes

Voice assistant
Built in, rather than through a separate smart speaker.		 Alexa built-in, Google Assistant optional Alexa built-in, Google Assistant optional
Dialogue enhancement Yes Yes
Height
Lower is less likely to block the bottom of the TV picture.		 2.75 in 2.63 in
Width / suits TVs from
Neither is better: match the bar to your TV. See the size simulator below.		 49.06 in / 65-inch 27.5 in / 32-inch

Power (total, as published)
Makers rate soundbar power differently, so the totals are not a like-for-like comparison.		 — 250 W
Weight 14.75 lbs 7.85 lbs
List price $998 $950

Green marks the better figure where one is better. Dashes are specs the maker does not publish.
