With twin HDMI inputs (plus the eARC output to the TV), useful wireless streaming options and Google Assistant support, and a really easy setup process. What's more, is the AI Room Correction which helps bring the numerous speakers together into a single cohesive system while eliminating acoustic distractions from its environment. It's even excellent at upscaling regular surround or stereo soundtracks into really convincing Atmos-like audio. There's excellent dynamic range, and it makes a hell of a noise without anything getting overwhelmed. It's astoundingly good at enveloping you with audio, with convincing positioning of sounds around and above you. There's even the addition of a centre height channel – which is a world’s first. The LG S95QR gives you a main bar, a subwoofer and two rear speakers that all connect wirelessly to create a real 'dome' of sound developed in conjunction with the Meridian audio brand. We love it – our complete Yamaha SR-C20A review goes deeper into why. This thing is cheap, versatile, discreet and sounds great. The remote is awkward, but there are also controls on the top, and a great app you can use to make mode adjustments.

It's really simple to set up, too – it has a single HDMI ARC port for easy TV connection (which enables control from your TV remote), or twin optical connectors, or even a good ol' 3.5mm jack.

It's even pretty good with music, and has Bluetooth for easy streaming. The dynamic range is great too, in everything from movies to games. And despite this soundbar being not even as wide as your average 32-inch TV (meaning it's just as at home with monitors as TVs), the sound has really impressive width and stereo positioning. The audio quality here is excellent for the price, adding so much more balance, clarity and depth than budget TV speaker could ever hope to produce. If you're looking for the best soundbar under £250, your journey has ended.

You can find out more in our full Sonos Beam 2 review. If you're disappointed by your TV's audio this is a significant upgrade, and it's the soundbar we'd recommend for most people – it's easy to use, it's very versatile, and we think it is the best-sounding option for the price. The Beam has both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control on board, so in addition to your sound settings you can use it to control your smart home or ask your digital assistant for information. You can then enjoy your audio in one or more rooms depending on your Sonos setup. As before, AirPlay 2 means you can stream from Apple devices, while the Sonos app connects to streaming services. That's here now, but there's still no HDMI passthrough. The Beam 2 solves another issue with the original Beam, which lacked eARC HDMI. No matter what you're listening to, the Beam 2 adds impressive clarity and depth.

Like its predecessor, the Beam 2 has one tweeter, four ‘racetrack’ mid/bass drivers and three passive radiators for low-end punch, and it's all driven by five Class D amplifier blocks of unspecified power. But Sonos has massively improved the on-board processing to deliver meaningful height as well as width. This version adds Dolby Atmos, and while you don't get the same performance with Atmos that you do with much bigger bars it's still pretty good. Like its predecessor, the 2nd Gen Beam is a superb soundbar that's small enough to fit under even a 32-inch TV but big enough to fill your room with brilliant sound. It's one of the best-sounding ’bars on the market, and is again great for music, and has smart assistants built in, however it has some connectivity limitations that may mean it's not the best option for some people – our Sonos Arc review gives you all the details.Is it a fantastic-sounding soundbar? Is it a multi-room music speaker? Is it a home voice assistant? No, it's Sonos' super Beam, which does all these things at once. The Sonos Arc is a bigger soundbar, suited to TVs of 55 inches and above, and is very much a home cinema bar, packing in 11 speakers, including some upfiring drivers for real Dolby Atmos. It's not as cinematic as the Sony HT-G700, but the smart speaker features and excellent music streaming (and playback quality) make it a truly superb choice, and it's more compact. You can even turn it into a full wireless surround system later by adding more Sonos speakers to the room, but you can start with just this well-priced soundbar. The Sonos Beam is our pick for the soundbar that most people with small TVs should probably go for – it's an ideal mix of powerful and clean sound, subtle and chic looks in black or white, and smart features including multi-room music playback and microphones for Amazon Alexa/Google Assistant.
