Test Report

Soundbars in the test - This belongs to the good sound

Special effects or stadium atmosphere: Soundbars are supposed to spice up the TV sound. Many devices in the test succeed, but not all of them sound good. While many TVs have a good picture, their sound often leaves much to be desired. And even with TVs that sound good, more can be achieved with additional speakers. That's exactly why soundbars and soundplates were developed. Our investigation shows: expensive does not mean good. Some high-priced models do not sound convincing or have weaknesses in handling. New in the autumn 2022 soundbar test: 23 soundbars with prices between 250 and 1400 euros.
