Why it's our Starter pick

Two pieces and one HDMI ARC cable: a 90 cm bar and a wireless subwoofer with a 160 mm driver, 330 W in total.
TechRadar gave it 4.5/5 for its sound and design, and RTINGS measured clear voices and instruments with a lift in the upper bass.
The Grapevine rates its dialogue above most 3.1 bars from budget brands, and Sony installs it at home free once during the warranty.

Watch out: The tuning leans on bass: Vineet Malhotra found voices heavy even in Voice mode, and there is no Dolby Atmos or eARC.
